Ecdysteroids of a culture of tissues and cells ofAjuga turkestanica

The possibility has been studied of obtaining ecdysteroids — ecdysterone and turkesterone — with the aid of a culture of the tissues and cells of the plantAjuga turkestanica. Conditions have been selected under which the yield of ecdysteroids in the culture of tissues and cells is comparable with amounts of the same substances in the organs of the whole plant.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Mass spectrometric study of mixed fluorinated rare earth element β-diketonates with triphenylphosphine oxide

A series of new adducts of fluorinated REE -diketonates with triphenylphosphine oxide was synthesized. The paths of their fragmentation under electron impact were investigated. It was shown that in contrast to the complex with 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-7,7-dimethyloctane-4,6-dione, the complexes of europium with 1-trifluoromethoxy-1,1-difluoro-5,5-dimethylhexane-2,4-dione and 1, 1,1-trifluoro-5,5-dimethylhexane-2,4-dione form dimeric associates in the gaseous phase. The reasons for this difference in the behavior of the complexes and the possible structure of one of the dimers are discussed.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Eksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 26, No. 2, March–April, 1990.

Mass spectra of arylalkylpyridines

The basic principles of the mass-spectral fragmentation of arylalkylpyridines that contain substituents in various positions were established. The principle ions that can be used in Chromatographic mass-fragmentographic analysis in the study of liquid-crystal compositions were determined for each specific case.Communication 1 of the series Mass spectra of liquid crystalsTranslated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1509–1513, November, 1987.
