A TPD‐MS study of the interaction of coumarins and their heterocyclic derivatives with a surface of fumed silica and nanosized oxides CeO2/SiO2, TiO2/SiO2, Al2O3/SiO2

The interactions between coumarins and the surface of fumed SiO₂, CeO₂/SiO₂, TiO₂/SiO₂ and Al₂O₃/SiO₂ were assessed by means of temperature‐programed desorption mass spectrometry. The different stages of the thermolysis of coumarin were identified and an analysis of the underlying reactions was performed. The kinetic parameters of the involved reactions were thus obtained. The decomposition of thiazolyl‐substituted coumarins was found to proceed through a ‘thiazole–thiazine’ ring expansion in the adsorbed state. A linear correlation between the sigma constants (Σσ) of the coumarin substituents and the activation energy of CO₂ formation was obtained. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis of 5-Cinnamoyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-ones

Two different approaches to the synthesis of 1-unsubstituted 5-cinnamoyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-ones have been developed. The first includes N(1)-protection of the starting 5-acetyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-one, further Claisen–Schmidt reaction, and cleavage of the protecting group. The second approach consists of one-pot condensation of urea, aldehyde, and cinnamoylacetone as dicarbonyl component. The 5-cinnamoylderivative synthesis starting from 5-acetyl-1,3-dialkyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-ones is also shown.     

Integral Form of Bounded Solutions of Some Systems of Differential Equations

Solubilization chromatography: Ethers,carboxylic acids,and hydrocarbons

Synthetic mixtures of aliphatic and aromatic ethers, satmated fatty acids, and substituted benzenes and naphthalenes were separated by elution through columns of ion-exchange resins with aqueous solutions of acetic acid as eluent An attempt was made to use a resin of low capacity for the separation of such mixtures, and the results of this attempt are used to help elucidate the theory of solubilization chromatography
