Reactivity of p-phenyl substituted β-Enamino compounds using K-10/ultrasound. II. Synthesis of isoxazoles and 5-Isoxazolones

The condensation of 4-phenyl substituted β-enamino ketones 1a-d and β-enamino esters 5a-d with hydroxylamine hydrochloride using K-10 as the solid support under sonication was studied to evaluate the formation of isoxazole and 5-isoxazolone rings from β-enamino compounds with a substituted aromatic ring. Isoxazoles 2a-c, 3c-d and 5-isoxazolones 6a-c and 7a-d were obtained. The use of K-10/ultrasound in this reaction furnished novel results in some cases.     

Complexation of the Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug Nabumetone with Modified and Unmodified Cyclodextrins

The inclusion of the anti-inflammatory drug, Nabumetone, in -, - and hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (CDs) is studied using UV-VIS absorption and steady-state fluorescence emission. Binding constants and thermodynamic parameters of complex formation are determined by spectrofluorimetry. The inclusion phenomena of Nabumetone with the three cyclodextrins is compared with that of the well known similar anti-inflammatory drug Naproxen. In the case of Nabumetone pronounced differences are observed in the complexation process with each cyclodextrin whereas the respective Naproxen complexes are nearly identical. ¹H-NMR experiments show that the inclusion process in Nabumetone can occur either through the substituents in the -2 (butanone) or -6 (methoxy) positions in the naphthalene ring.

. Acid-catalyzed substitutions on (perchlorofluoromethylthio)pyrroles and their agro-biological activities In the presence of C₄F₉SO₃H the (perhalomethylthio)pyrroles 1a–c react with Cl_3?nF_nCSCl (n = 1–3) to give mixtures of the 2,5- and 2,4-disubstituted pyrroles 2a–f and 3a–h . 2a and 3a react with CF₃SCl (catalyst CF₃SO₃H) yielding 2,3,5-tris (trifloromethylthio)pyrrole ( 4a ), which under similar conditions reacts further to give 2,3,4,5-tetrakis (trifluoromethylthio)pyrrole ( 5 ). As a by-product during the conversion of 3a to 4a 2,3,4-tris (trifluoromethylthio)pyrrole ( 4b ) is formed. The pyrroles 2a , 4a and 5 form the mercury salts 6a–c ; compound 5 yields also a silver salt 7 . The ¹H- and ¹⁹F-NMR. spectra are discussed and the agro-biological properties of the compounds investigated.     

The fluorescence of biliverdin dimethyl ester

Freshly prepared solutions of biliverdin dimethyl ester ( 2 ) in ethanol showed fluorescence maxima at 710 and 770 nm [Φ_F = 1.1. 10^?4 (room temperature) and 5.0 10^?4 (77 K)]. The maxima of monoprotonated 2 at 77 K were shifted to 725 and 806 nm and the quantum yield was increased to 2.6. 10^?2. This acid effect was reversible by neutralization with base. When a neutral solution was kept standing in the dark at room temperature, or when an acidic solution was neutralized by base, an additional fluorescence maximum at 500 nm with a mirror image excitation spectrum with λ_max = 470 nm developed, which disappeared on addition of acid and which is attributed to a chemical change of 2 .     

On-line electrolytic dissolution of alloys in flow-injection analysis : Part 1. Principles and application in the determination of soluble aluminium in steels

A fast system for steel analysis is described. Immediately after collection, the solidified sample is polished and placed on a small electrochemical dissolution unit. The dissolution step is accomplished in a few seconds, and the dissolved material is passed directly “on line” to a flow-injection manifold. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated by determining soluble aluminium in steels (0.01–0.13% w/w) spectrophotometrically. Dissolution conditions such as current density, electrolysis duration, composition and flow rate of the electrolyte carrier stream are described. The proposed system is very stable and the consumption of reagents is low; 20–40 samples per hour can be handled. The results compare well with the values for reference standard steels.     

Variants of Solid-State and Solution Structures of (η3-Allyl)- {2-[2′-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]-4,5-dihydrooxazole-P,N}palladium(II) hexafluorophosphates and tetraphenylborates

Crystal and solution structures of the enantiomerically pure and the racemic pairs of (η³-allyl) {2-[2′-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-4-phenyloxazole}palladium(II) hexafluorophosphates ( 1 , and rac- 1 , resp.) and tetraphenylborates ( 2 , and rac- 2 , resp.) as well as (η³-allyl){2-[2′-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-4-isopropyloxazole}palladium(II) tetraphenylborate ( 3 ) were characterized by X-ray crystallography and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. In the solid state, rac- 1 and rac- 2 proved to be disordered with both diastereoisomeric complexes in the crystal. The complexes 2 and 3 exist only in the ‘exo’ form. The X-ray structures show that the [Pd^II(η³-allyl)] moiety may adopt different configurations between a nearly symmetrical three-electron Pd^II(π³-allyl) system and an asymmetrical allyl group with a η¹- and a η²-bonding to the metal center. The [Pd^II(η³-allyl)] system of rac- 1 and of ‘endo’ rac- 2 is closer to the former, and that of 2 , ‘exo’-rac- 2 , and 3 closer to the later geometry. The ¹H-NMR spectra of the hexafluorophosphates 1 and rac- 1 show two sets of signals of the allylic protons in an ‘exo’/‘endo’ ratio of 2:3. The tetraphenylborates 2, rac- 2 , and 3 give only one set of broad signals of the allylic protons.
