A study of dioxane lignin from bolls of the cotton plant of variety AN Bayaut-2 II

The dioxane lignin was isolated from ripe bolls of a medium-fiber cotton plant of the variety AN Bayaut-2. Its developed empirical formula was derived, its UV, IR, and PMR spectra were recorded, and its molecular weight was determined. It was shown that the boll lignin is more condensed than the stem lignin. It differs from the stem lignin by a lower content of methoxy groups and a higher content of hydroxy and carbonyl groups.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Indolopyridines containing a bridgehead heteroatom. 12. Synthesis and reduction of 12-arylidene-5,6-dihydroindolo[2,1-a]isoquinolinium trifluoroacetates

Condensation of 5,6-dihydroindolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline with aromatic aldehydes in trifluoroacetic acid afforded 12-arylidene-5,6-dihydroindolo[2,1-a]isoquinolinium trifluoroacetates. Hydrogenolysis of these salts on rhenium heptasulfide at elevated temperature and hydrogen pressure yielded indolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines, while reduction with sodium borohydride gave 12-arylmethylindoloisoquinolines. Photoluminescence was found for some indolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines.     

Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines Reactions of hydroxypyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines with thionyl chloride in the presence of DMF

Depending on the reaction conditions, 5-hydroxy- and 5,7-dihydroxypyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines react with thionyl chloride in the presence of DMF to give chlorination at position 6 along with replacement of the hydroxy groups at C(5) and C(7) with chlorine, while a nitro group at C(6) is ipsosubstituted by chlorine.For Communication 5, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1230–1233, September, 1992.     

Reactions of peroxide radicals with the surface of heterogeneous catalysts in homolytic and heterolytic processes

An interrelation between homolytic and heterolytic stages is found for olefin epoxidation by hydroperoxides and cumene hydroperoxide decomposition in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst (molybdenum selenide). Peroxide radicals that are formed in homolytic decomposition of the hydroperoxide interact with the catalyst surface. As a result, molybdenum atoms are oxidized to the highest valence state, and new reaction sites are created, on which heterolytic reactions occur. It is shown that olefin, as an electron donor, decreases the catalyst activity in the heterolytic reactions. The limited value for the olefin epoxidation rate, which is independent of the amount of the catalyst used, is explained by the disappearance of active sites on the catalyst surface due to their interaction with the neighboring sites containing adsorbed olefin molecules.     

Thermodynamics of glycine solution in aqueous urea. Rule \sqrt m

The solution heats of glycine in aqueous urea have been determined by calorimetry at 298 K (molality 0–13) and 313 K (molality 0–22). The solution heat of the amino acid is described by the linear dependence of this quantity on the square root of the urea molality. The enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy of the transfer of glycine from water to aqueous urea, as well as the heat capacity, entropy variation, and Gibbs energy of glycine solution have been calculated for the temperature range 273–323 K. It is found that urea additions to water reverse the sign of the heat capacity of solution.     

X-ray diffraction analysis of the modulated structure of Bi2Sr2CaFe2O y

The modulated structure of the Bi₂Sr₂CaFe₂O _y compound isomorphous with the Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O _y phase was refined by the method of the full profile analysis on the basis of the powder X-ray diffraction data. The analysis was carried out in the superspace group ofN:Abmm: 1 – 11 using the parameters of the unit cell of the basic structurea = 5.466(3),b = 5.446(5) andc = 31.25(9) Å and the modulation vectorq = 0.220(5)b* +c*. The model of excess oxygen interstitials into the BiO plane was used by applying a saw-tooth-type function of the form:U = 2U ₀ [(X ₄ -X ₄ ⁰ /)] [1]. The results point to a strong displacement of the atoms from their positions in the basic structure. An essential improvement of theR factors was obtained by taking into account the modulation waves of the higher harmonics.

Peculiarities of section topograms for the multiple diffraction of X rays

The distortion of interference fringes on the section topograms of single crystal due to the multiple diffraction of X rays has been investigated. The cases of the 220 and 400 reflections in a silicon crystal in the form of a plate with a surface oriented normally to the [001] direction are considered both theoretically and experimentally. The same section topogram exhibits five cases of multiple diffraction at small azimuthal angles for the 400 reflection and MoK_α radiation, while the topogram for the 220 reflection demonstrates two cases of multiple diffraction. All these cases correspond to different combinations of reciprocal lattice vectors. Exact theoretical calculations of section topograms for the aforementioned cases of multiple diffraction have been performed for the first time. The section topograms exhibit two different distortion regions. The distortions in the central region of the structure are fairly complex and depend strongly on the azimuthal angle. In the tails of the multiple diffraction region, there is a shift of two-beam interference fringes, which can be observed even with a laboratory X-ray source.     

Solvation of decane and benzene in mixtures of 1-octanol and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-dimethylformamide

The heats of dissolution of decane and benzene in a model system of octanol-1 (OctOH) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at 308 K are measured using a variable temperature calorimeter equipped with an isothermal shell. Standard enthalpies are determined and standard heat capacities of dissolution in the temperature range of 298–318 K are calculated using data obtained in [1, 2]. The state of hydrocarbon molecules in a binary mixture is studied in terms of the enhanced coordination model (ECM). Benzene is shown to be preferentially solvated by DMF over the range of physiological temperatures. The solvation shell of decane is found to be strongly enriched with 1-octanol. It is obvious that although both hydrocarbons are nonpolar, the presence of the aromatic π-system in benzene leads to drastic differences in their solvation in a lipid–protein medium.
