Chemistry of thienopyridines. XXXVII. Syntheses in the cyclopenta,cyclohexa-, and cycloheptathieno[2,3-b]pyridine series. Three analogs of 9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine

4-Aminocyclopenta-, 4-aminocyclohexa-, and 4-aminocycloheptathieno[2,3-b]pyridines were synthesized in very low overall yield by four-step procedures starting from bis(2-thienylammonium) hexachlorostannate(IV) and 2-hydroxymethylenecyclopentanone, 2-methoxymethylenecyclohexanone, and 2-hydroxymethylenecycloheptanone, respectively.     

Extraction of chromium(VI) with 4-methyl-3-pentene-2-one and subsequent photometric determination as diphenylcarbazide complex

Summary A rapid and sensitive method is developed for the solvent extraction of chromium(VI) with mesityl oxide. Chromium(VI) is extracted with pure mesityl oxide from 1 M HCl containing 2.5 M KCl as salting-out agent. The metal from the organic phase is stripped with dilute ammonia and determined photometrically as its dephenylcarbazide complex at 540 nm. Chromium(VI) can be extracted in presence of a large number of ions. Only 30 min are required for complete separation and determination. Average recovery was 98.6 ± 1.4%, the standard deviation ± 1.3% (14.9 g of Cr).

Extraktion von Chrom(VI) mit 4-Methyl-3-penten-2-on und anschlieende photometrische Bestimmung als Diphenylcarbazidkomplex

Zusammenfassung Chrom wird mit reinem Mesityloxid aus 1 M salzsaurer, 2,5 M KCl enthaltender Lösung extrahiert, mit Ammoniaklösung aus der organischen Phase entfernt und photometrisch als Diphenylcarbazidkomplex bei 540 nm bestimmt. Zahlreiche Fremdionen stören die Extraktion nicht. Für Abtrennung und Bestimmung werden 30 min benötigt. Im Durchschnitt wurden 98,6 ± 1,4 % wiedergefunden. Die Standard-abweichung betrug ± 1,3% (für 14,9 g Cr).

     

Rapid densitometric method for simultaneous analysis of umbelliferone, psoralen, and eugenol in herbal raw materials using HPTLC

The term 'phenolics' refers to a vast array of biologically active compounds ubiquitous in plants, many of which have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. Umbelliferone, psoralen, and eugenol are widely occurring phenolic compounds of plant origin, for which many biological activities against chronic diseases have been reported. A simple HPTLC method has been developed for the simultaneous quantification of umbelliferone, psoralen, and eugenol. These three compounds were quantified in the dried fruit pulp of Aegle marmelos and in the fruit of Trachyspermum ammi and Foeniculam vulgare. The technique enables rapid and sensitive simultaneous analysis in different samples. The method was validated for precision, repeatability, and accuracy in accordance with ICH guidelines. The accuracy of the method was checked by a recovery study conducted at three different levels and the average percentage recovery was found to be 98.88% for umbelliferone, 100.104% for psoralen, and 99.33% for eugenol. The proposed HPTLC method for the simultaneous quantification of umbelliferone, psoralen, and eugenol was found to be simple, precise, specific, sensitive, and accurate. It can be used for routine quality control of herbal raw materials as well as formulations containing any or all of these compounds.     

Amine-templated open-framework zinc arsenates of varying dimensionalities: synthesis, structure, polymorphism, and transformation reactions

Eight new open-framework zinc arsenates, encompassing the entire hierarchy of open-framework structures, have been prepared hydrothermally. The structures include zero-dimensional, one-dimensional chains, two-dimensional layers, and three-dimensional structures formed through the transformation of the molecular zinc arsenates. The structure of [C6N4H21][Zn(HAsO4)2(H2AsO4)], I, is composed of ZnO4 and H2AsO4 units connected through the vertices forming four-membered rings with HAsO4 units hanging from the Zn center. The four-membered rings are connected through the corners forming the one-dimensional chain structures in [C4N2H12][Zn(HAsO4)2] x H2O, II, and [C5N2H14][Zn(HAsO4)2] x H2O, III. ZnO4 and AsO4 units form a fully four-connected two-dimensional structure in [C4N2H12][Zn(AsO4)]2, IV. One-dimensional zigzag ladders are connected through HAsO4 units forming two-dimensional layers in [C4N2H12]1.5[Zn2(AsO4)(HAsO4)2] x H2O, V, while the similar building units form a layer with hanging HAsO4 units in the layered arsenate [C6N4H21]6[Zn12(HAsO4)21], VI. Hanging HAsO4 units are also observed in the polymorphic structures of [C6N3H20][Zn2(AsO4)(HAsO4)2] x 2H2O, VII and VIII. Formation of zero-dimensional monomer, I, a fully four-connected layer, IV, and the polymorphic structures, VII and VIII, are important and noteworthy. The transformation reactions of I indicate that the monomer is reactive and gives rise to structures of higher dimensionalities, indicating a possible Aufbau-type building-up process in these structures.     

Total synthesis of (+)-mupirocin H from D-glucose

Enantioselective total synthesis of mupirocin H is accomplished starting from D-glucose featuring strategic application of D-glucose derived chirality, diastereoselective Still-Barrish hydroboration, and further elaboration of carbon chain to furnish a phenyltetrazolyl sulfone intermediate, which on coupling with (2S,3S)-2-methyl-3-(triisopropylsilyloxy)butanal under Julia-Kocienski olefination conditions gave an advanced E-olefinic intermediate selectively. The E-olefin was transformed to the 4-hydroxynitrile, a prefinal substrate, which on acid-catalyzed oxidative lactonization furnished the target molecule mupirocin H in 19 steps from known compound 6 (longest linear sequence) with an overall yield of 4.96%.     

Comparative study of ion kinetic energy,chemical ionisation and field desorption spectra

A comparison of the fragmentation processes operating in the first field free region was made with the fragmentation in the ion source under electron ionisation, chemical ionisation and field desorption conditions for some selected compounds which undergo retro-DielsI-Alder fragmentation in the ion source under electron ionisationconditions. The fragmentation processes which com-ete with retro-Diels-Alder fragmentation under chemical ionisation and field desorption conditions are discussed. The complementary nature of these techniques are illustrated.     

Solar neutrino decay

We re-examine the neutrino decay solution to the solar neutrino problem in light of the new data from GALLEX II and Kamiokande III. We compare the experimental data with the solar models of Bahcall and Pinsonneault and Turck-Chieze and find that neutrino decay is ruled out as a solution to the solar neutrino problem at better than the 98% CL even when solar model uncertainties are taken into account.
