Kinetics and products of the reaction of diazo compounds with SO2

Data were obtained on the composition of products and kinetics of the reaction of SO₂ with Ph(R)CN₂ (R=Ph, Me) in solutions of isooctane, 1,4-di-oxane, and ethanol at 295 K. A mechanism was proposed for the process in accordance with which the sulfene being formed participates in concurrent reactions with the starting reagents. The relative rate constants for the process stages were determined.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2496–2500, November, 1990.     

29Si NMR study of the surface of pyrogenic silica modified by methylchlorosilanes

Cross-polarization ²⁹Si NMR spectra have been used for aerosil modified by methylchlorosilanes to identify surface organosilicon compounds and their reactions during hydrolysis and methanolysis.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Eksperimental'naya Khimiya, No. 3, pp. 378–383, May–June, 1986.     

Structure,tautomerism, and transformations of β-(3-nitro-2-pyridyl)- and β-(3-nitro-4-pyridyl)pyruvic acid esters

It was shown by means of IR, UV, and PMR spectra that -(3-nitro-2-pyridyl)pyruvic acid esters are practically completely enolized in the crystal state and in solution; ethyl -(3-nitro-4-pyridyl)pyruvate has an enol structure in the crystalline state and in pyridine solution but exists as a mixture of keto and enol forms in low-polarity solvents.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 389–393, March, 1974.     

Synthesis,alkylation, and molecular and crystal structure ofN-methylmorpholinium 6-amino-3,5-dicyano-1,4-dihydropyridine-4-spirocyclohexane-2-thiolate

The reaction of cyano(cyclohexylidene)thioacetamide with cyanothioacetamide or malononitrile andN-methylmorpholine yieldsN-methylmorpholinium 6-amino-3,5-dicyano-1,4-dihydropyridine-4-spirocyclohexane-2-thiolate. Its structure was established based on the results of alkylation and X-ray structural analysis.Deceased.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

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.
