Nukleophile Substanzen zur Entgiftung von Phosphorestern

A series of N-substituted hydroxylamine derivatives was synthesized as a potential substitute for calcium hypochlorite. Like calcium hypochlorite, these compounds are highly P(V)-nucleophilic with respect to toxic phosphorus esters.Incorporating surface-active structural elements into the compounds can enhance their reactivity to phosphorus esters on the one hand (micelle catalysis); on the other hand aqueous solutions of these compounds wet polymer surfaces easily, thus ensuring that they can be well applied. The effectiveness of the compounds in the detoxification of phosphorus esters was examined using diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) as a model substance.

     

The synthesis and reactions of certain pyridazine 1-oxides

Nucleophilic displacement reactions under acidic and basic conditions have been studied with 4,6-dinitro-3-methoxypyridazine 1-oxide ( 1 ) and with 6-chloro-3-methoxy-4-nitropyridazine 1-oxide ( 2 ). Depending on the nature of the nucleophilic reagent and the conditions of the reaction we have found that the chloro group, the nitro group, as well as the methoxy group of 1 and 2 may be displaced by the nucleophile. This type of compound possesses significant in vitro antifungal activity.     

Synthesis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonamide and certain related nucleosides

1-β-D-Ribofuranosyl- 21 , 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erytftro-pento fur anosyl)- 27 and 1-β-D-arabinofuranosyl- 29 derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonamide ( 19 ) have been prepared. Glycosylation of the silylated 19 with 1,2,3,5-tetra-0-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranose ( 5 ) in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate gave the corresponding blocked nucleoside ( 20 ), which on ammonolysis afforded 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonamide ( 21 ). Stereospecific glycosylation of the sodium salt of 19 with either 1-chloro-2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-α-D-erythro-pentofuranose ( 22 ) or 1-chloro-2,3,5-tri-0-benzyl-α-D-arabinofuranose ( 23 ) provided the corresponding protected nucleosides 26 and 28. Deprotection of 26 and 28 furnished 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonamide ( 27 ) and 1-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonamide ( 29 ), respectively. 2-0-D-Ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thione ( 7 ) and 4-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3(2H)-thione ( 9 ) were also prepared utilizing either an acid catalyzed fusion of 1,2,4-triazole-3(1H,2H)-thione ( 4 ) with 5 , the reaction of 5 with silylated 4 in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate, or by ring closure of 4-(2,3,5-tri-0-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)thiosemicarbazide ( 10 ) with mixed anhydride and subsequent deacylation. The synthesis of 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-3-benzylthio-1,2,4-triazole ( 15 ) has also been accomplished by the silylation procedure employing 3-benzylthio-1,2,4-triazole ( 13 ) and 5 to give 1-(2,3,5-tri-0-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-3-benzylthio-1,2,4-triazole ( 14 ). Deacetylation of 14 furnished 15 . The structural assignments of 7, 14 and 21 were made by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and their hydrogen bonding characteristics have been studied. The sulfonamido-1,2,4-triazole nucleosides are devoid of any significant antiviral or antitumor activity in cell culture.     

Production of large sodium clusters (Nax,.x⩽65) by seeded beam expansions

Seeded beam expansions of high-temperature sodium vapour in helium, neon, argon, krypton and nitrogen carrier gases are examined. Photoionization coupled with mass spectroscopic detection is used to determine beam constituents. Contrary to non-seeded supersonic expansions, in which the abundance of sodium clusters observed decreases exponentially with increasing cluster size, large abundances of higher clusters (Na_x, x ?65) are observed. Maxima centered at m/z = 161, m/z = 437 and m/z = 874 occur under certain conditions.     

High precision determination of uranium in ore by gamma-ray spectrometry

A new approach for the determination of elemental uranium in uranium bearing ore, using high resolution -ray spectrometry, was applied. Using a variant of the enrichment technique an agreement of better than 1% has been obtained between -ray measurement results and a certified value obtained by other analytical methods. For the calibration of the -ray spectrometer uranium reference samples have been used which are made available jointly in Europe and the USA as Certified Reference Materials for Gamma-Ray Spectrometry (EC NRM 171 and NBS SRM 969, respectively). The measured ore has been put in a special designed container which ensured in all directions seen from the radiation window an uniform degree of infinite thickness of about 95%. The results can be taken as an example for the applicability of -ray spectrometry when high accuracy is required and under conditions were homogeneously distributed elemental uranium is embedded in larger amount of matrix material.
