Yields of Br* (4P1/2) as a function of wavelength in the photodissociation of Br2 and IBr

A flashlamp-pumped tunable dye laser has been used to study the photochemical production of Br* (4²P_1/2) atoms from Br₂ and IBr exc     

Constituents of Catha edulis: Isolation and structure of cathidine D

Work which has recently appeared on the structures of Celastraceae alkaloids in addition to physical and chemical evidence adduced with respect to cathidine D permits formulation of structure 7a or 7b for this component of Catha edulis.     

The exchange rate between dissolved tripalmitin and tripalmitin crystals

The focus of this paper is on understanding the exchange between dissolved fats and fat crystals in dispersions by quantifying the rate of the exchange between the fats in solution and in crystals. In the studies reported here, tripalmitin (PPP) was used as model fat. The dispersions contained PPP crystals and dissolved radio-labelled PPP (14C-PPP, used as the probe) in a medium chain triglyceride oil (MCT). The exchange process between the dissolved 14C-PPP and unlabelled PPP crystals was followed using a radio-detector. The effect of the crystal concentration on the exchange rate was studied. The results suggested that the rate of the exchange is dependent upon both the dissolution of the surface of the crystals and also diffusion and crystallisation of the dissolved compounds.     

Differential thermal analysis of fluxed melts and its application to the system NiFe2O4-BaO-B2O3

The application of DTA to fluxed melts is discussed, and an apparatus for the determination of the solubility of crystalline materials in molten solutions is described. An exploratory study of the crystallization of nickel ferrite from barium borate fluxes is also described, and solubility curves are presented for fluxes which favour crystal growth. The heat of solution of nickel ferrite was found to be 73 ± 2 Kjoule mole^–1.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde über die Anwendung der DTA Methode bei der Untersuchung von Flußmittel enthaltenden Schmelzen berichtet und ein Apparat zur Bestimmung der Löslichkeit von kristallinischen Substanzen in Flüssen beschrieben. Eingehend wurden die Kristallisation von Nickelferrit aus Bariumborat-Flüssen untersucht und Löslichkeitskurven für den Kristallwachstum begünstigende Flüssen gegeben. Die Lösungswärme von Nickelferrit betrug 73 ± 2 Kjoule Mol^–1.

The preparation of some reactive 1,6-disubstituted perfluorohexanes

Reactive 1,6-disubstituted perfluorohexanes have been prepared $\text{via}$ the reaction of 1,6-$\text{bis}$(dimethylhydrosilyl)-perfluorohexanes with alkyllithium and Grignard reagents. The resulting species may be derivatized in the same manner as organolithium reagents, but are appreciably more stable than the 1,6-dilithioperfluorohexane which is presumably generated by the halogen-metal exchange between an alkyllithium reagent and Br(CF₂)₆Br. 1,6-bis(Bromomagnesium)-perfluorohexane was also prepared in good yield by a halogen-metal exchange reaction.     

First Synthesis of 3-Mercapto-2(1H)-pyridinone, a Simple Disubstituted Pyridine Useful for Synthesis of the 4-Azaphenoxathiine Ring System and Its Novel Diazaphenoxathiine Analogs: 1,6-Diazaphenoxathiine and 2,6-Diazaphenoxathiine(1)

3-Mercapto-2(1H)-pyridinone (1) can be synthesized in three simple high-yielding steps from readily available 2-tert-butylthiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine (2). Its disodium salt condenses with o-chloronitrobenzene, 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine, and 3-chloro-4-nitropyridine 1-oxide to give respectively 4-azaphenoxathiine (10), 1,6-diazaphenoxathiine (12), and 2,6-diazaphenoxathiine 2-oxide (14) which reduces to 2,6-diazaphenoxathiine (15). The structures of these previously unreported azaphenoxathiine systems were confirmed by assignment of their respective (13)C NMR spectra.
