A metallo-capped polyrotaxane containing calix[4]arenes and cyclodextrins and its highly selective binding for Ca2+

A water-soluble nanometer-scale metallocapped polyrotaxane has been prepared by the inclusion complexation of azo-calixarenes with metallo-bridged bis(beta-CD)s, displaying highly selective binding for Ca(2+).     

Synthesis of acetyltrialkylpyrroles from 2, 4-pentanediones

The condensation of isonitrosoacetylacetone with 3-alkyl-2,4-pentanediones and reduction with zinc in acetic acid gives-acetyltrialkylpyrroles. The analogous condensation of 3-alkyl-3-nitroso-2,4-pentanediones with acetylacetone leads to-acetyltrialkylpyrroles, and condensation with acetoacetic ester leads to-ethoxycarbonyltrialkylpyrroles. When the- and-acetyltrialkylpyrroles undergo salt formation, the oxygen of the carbonyl group is protonated.     

Chloro-, Bromo-und Jodokomplexe von Kobalt(II) in einigen nichtwäßrigen Lösungsmitteln

The formation of chloro-, bromo-and iodocomplexes of cobalt(II) has been studied mainly by a spectrophotometric investigation in acetonitrile, propanediolcarbonate, trimethylphosphate, dimethylacetamide and dimethylsulfoxide as far as data were not available. The results are discussed with respect to the relative donor properties of solvents and halide ions.     

Polarographic investigation of the mobility of halogen atoms in halogen-substituted components of nucleic acids

In order to establish quantitatively the reducibility of halogen-substituted components of nucleic acids, the half-wave potentials (E_1/2) of their electrochemical reduction have been determined. The electrochemical reduction of all compounds takes place in the interval from –0.5 to –1.8 V and consists in the splitting off of the halogen atom (iodine, bromine) from the given molecule. The iodine derivatives are reduced much more readily (500–800 mV) than the bromine derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1404–1408, October, 1992     

Addition of amines to ethyl α-fluoroacrylate and phenyl α-fluorovinyl ketone

Conclusions The reaction of diethylamine, piperidine, ethylenimine, and cyclohexylamine with ethyl-fluoroacrylate, and also of ethylenimine with phenyl-fluorovinyl ketone, leads to the addition of the amines to the-fluorovinyl group with the formation of-fluoro--aminopropionic acid derivatives.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicneskaya, No. 10, pp. 2362–2363, October, 1975.     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Pyrrolpigmente, 9. Mitt.: Bildung,Struktur und Konfiguration vonZ- undE-Arylmethyliden-3,4-dimethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-onen

The condensation of 3.4-dimethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-one with p-methyl-, p-chloro-benzaldehyde and ferrocenealdehyde yields theZ-andE-isomers of the corresponding condensates. Due to kinetic control theZ-isomers are obtained almost exclusively in this reaction. TheE-isomers of the two firstmentioned products can be produced by photochemical isomerization. The structures (tautomeric forms) and configurations of the isomers were established by the Lanthanide-induced-shift-technique and by evaluating the Nuclear-Overhauser-Effect.     

Palladium hydrogenation catalysts modified with aluminum-and phosphorus-containing compounds and with alcohols: Effect of modifiers

The catalytic properties of nanosize catalysts derived from Pd(acac)₂ and triethylaluminum in hydrogenation of organic substrates were studied, and the optimal conditions for the catalyst preparation were found. The maximum observed on the plot of the catalyst specific activity vs. Al/Pd ratio was explained by experiments.
