Untersuchung der thermischen Eigenschaften von Alkalibenzolsulfonaten

Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß von Atmosphäre, Aufheizungsgeschwindigkeit und Spülgasgeschwindigkeit auf die thermische Zersetzung von Alkalibenzolsulfonaten wurde untersucht. Kristallwassergehalt, Dehydratations-temperatur und -wärme, gegebenenfalls die Zusammensetzung, Art, Temperatur und Wärme der Modifikationsänderungen, Schmelzpunkte und Schmelzwärmen der Verbindungen wurden bestimmt. Die Zersetzung verläuft in zwei Abschnitten. In dem ersten Hauptteil entstehen in Inertgasatmosphäre Diphenyloxid, Diphenyl, Diphenylsulfon, Benzol, Phenol, Thiophenol, Diphenylsulfid, Thiantren, Diphenylenoxid und wahrscheinlich Diphenylensulfid, weiterhin Koks, Schwefeldioxid, Natriumsulfit und wenig Natriumsulfat, Natriumsulfid, Acetylen und Wasser. Im zweiten Hauptzersetzungsvorgang entstehen Natriumsulfid und Kohlenoxid. Die Produkte wurden isoliert und analysiert. Dazu wurden Derivatographie, Differentialthermoanalyse, Gaschromatographie, Infrarotspektroskopie, kontinuierliche thermische Titration und chemische Methoden gemeinsam angewandt.

Summary An investigation was made of the influence of the atmosphere, rate of temperature rise, and velocity of the purging gas on the thermal decomposition of alkali benzene sulfonates. The crystal water content, the dehydration temperature and heat, and if need be the composition, the kind, temperature, and heat of the modification changes, melting points and heats of fusion of the compounds, were determined. The decomposition proceeds in two stages. In the first main stage (in an inert atmosphere) the resulting compounds include diphenyl oxide, diphenyl, diphenylsulfone, benzene, phenol, thiophenol, diphenyl sulfide, thianthrene, diphenylene oxide and probably diphenylene sulfide; also coke, sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite and a little sodium sulfate, sodium sulfide, acetylene, water. Sodium sulfide and carbon monoxide are formed in the second main decomposition. The products were isolated and analyzed. Furthermore, use was made of derivatography, differential thermal analysis, gas chromatography, infra red spectroscopy, continuous thermal titration, and chemical methods.

Résumé On a étudié l'influence de l'atmosphère, de la vitesse d'échauffement et de balayage du gaz, sur la décomposition thermique des benzène-sulfonates alcalins. On a déterminé la teneur en eau de cristallisation, la température et la chaleur de déshydratation, éventuellement la composition, la nature, la température et la chaleur des changements d'état, les points de fusion et les chaleurs de fusion des composés. La décomposition s'effectue en deux temps. Tout d'abord, en atmosphère inerte, il se forme de l'oxyde de diphényle, du diphényle, de la diphénylsulfone, du benzène, du phénol, du thiophénol, du sulfure de diphényle, du thianthrène, de l'oxyde de diphénylène et probablement du sulfure de diphénylène, et aussi du coke, de l'anhydride sulfureux, du sulfite de sodium et, en moins grande quantité, du sulfate de sodium, du sulfure de sodium, de l'acétylène et de l'eau. Dans une deuxième étape de la décomposition principale, du sulfure de sodium et de l'oxyde de carbone prennent naissance. On a isolé et analysé ces produits. Pour cela, on a utilisé simultanément la dérivatographie, l'analyse thermique différentielle, la chromatographie en phase gazeuse, la spectroscopie infrarouge, le titrage thermique en continu et les méthodes chimiques.

Thermal degradation of copolymers of styrene and methyl-vinyl-silane by pyrolysis gas chromatography

Pyrolysis gas chromatographic investigations have been carried out on copolymers of styrene with trimethyl-vinyl-silane and of styrene with dimethyl-phenyl-vinyl-silane, in order to study the mechansims of thermal degradation and the copolymer structures. We have identified the pyrolysis products and measured their relative amounts. The experiments show that the controlling factor in the mechanism of the degradation is the nature of the side-group attached to the carbon atom at which chain scission occurs. If this side-group is phenyl, the main degradation process is depropagation; if it is if it is trimethyl-silyl or dimethyl-phenyl-silyl, intramolecular hydrogen abstraction followed by β scission becomes more important than depropagation. From the point of view of degradation mechanism, the nature of the side-group attached to the carbon atom from which the hydrogen is abstracted is of minor importance.We estimated the average copolymer block length from the amounts of products containing both comonomers as well as from the amounts of trimer composed of the same monomer.

Finiteness of Ricci flatN=2 supersymmetric σ-models

We study the ultraviolet behavior of two dimensional supersymmetric non-linear -models with target space an arbitrary Kähler manifoldM, so that the models areN=2 supersymmetric. We point out that these models have an additional fermionic axial symmetry if and only if the metric onM is Ricci flat. We show that the preservation of this symmetry in perturbation theory implies that both bare and renormalized metrics onM are Ricci flat. Combining this result with the constraint ofN=2 supersymmetry requiring that all counter-terms to the metric beyond one-loop order be cohomologically trivial, we argue thatN=2 models defined on Ricci flat Kähler manifolds are on-shell ultraviolet finite to all orders of perturbation theory.     

Synthesis of peptides based onβ-(N1-uracilyl)-α-alanine

The synthesis of peptides which include a DL--(N₁-uracilyl)--alanine (DL-willardiine) residue as an N-terminal or C-terminal group was investigated, dipeptides of DL-willardiine with glycine and L-tyrosine were obtained, and DL-willardiyl-DL-willardiine was synthesized; the latter is the simplest representative of the family of monotonic homopeptides which contain, as a repeating side substituent, a natural nucleic base capable of participation in intermolecular interactions of the complementary type.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 404–408, March, 1971.     

Synthesis of polycyclic structures by the Diels-Alder reaction of inner-outer-ring 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)dienes

A Diels-Alder reaction of novel inner-outer-ring 1,3-silyloxydienes 5-8 with a variety of dienophiles to afford highly functionalized polycyclic structures is reported. The inner-outer-ring 1,3-silyloxydienes 5-8 containing five- to seven-membered carbocyclic and heterocyclic rings were prepared in a single reaction vessel from 2-acetylcyclocarbonyls in quantitative yields. The Diels-Alder reaction with 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ), dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), and methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) proceeded smoothly at room temperature, affording functionalized polycyclic naphthols, phenols, and enones with high regioselectivity and good yields (39-75%). Moreover, dienes 5-8 also reacted in a hetero-Diels-Alder reaction with benzaldehyde (BA) and N-benzylideneaniline (NBA) in the presence of catalytic amounts of ZnCl2, affording substituted polycyclic pyranones and pyridinones in good yields (40-93%). Overall, our synthetic strategy provides straightforward access to an interesting set of polycyclic structures useful for natural and nonnatural product synthesis.
