Purification by solid layer melt crystallization

The application of solid layer crystallization techniques in industry is arousing ever more interest. One reason is the increasing demand for ultrapure products, and another is the energysaving potential of this separation technology.This article examines solid layer melt crystallization as concerns its purification efficiency. The crystallization process was carried out in two different modes, whereby the process parameters were varied and post-crystallization treatments were additionally applied. The experimental results were used as the basis for a mathematical fit of a semi-empirical expression which predicts the purification efficiency. It was used for a design of different multistage plants, which operate with different crystallization strategies. One result is that a comparable product quality is attainable with a simple process technique in combination with post-crystallization treatments, instead of a more complicated and therefore more expensive process technique.The authors wish to acknowledge support by the EU (JOULE program), which helped attainment of some results presented here.     

The molecular and crystal structures of two diastereomeric 3,4-dihydropyrromethenones

The molecular and crystal structures of the two racemic diastereomeric 3,4-dihydropyrromethenone derivatives1 and2 of configurations (Z) and (E) were determined at 93 K (1, 2) and at room temperature (1). From an analysis of the crystallographically observed temperature coefficients a pseudorotation flexibility of the pyrrolidinone ring in the crystal is deduced. In both compounds a nearly orthogonal arrangement between the two heterocyclic ring systems is observed, which is ascribed to the steric bulk of the substituents in positions 1 and 3 of the pyrrolidinone ring.Herrn Prof.Josef Schurz zum 60.

Neue anorganische Ringsysteme. 34. Derivate eines Cyclo-1-thiaIV- und eines Cyclo-1-thiaIV- 3,4-disila-2,5-diazans

Novel Inorganic Ring Systems. 34. Derivatives of the Cyclo-1-thia^IV- and of the Cyclo-1-thia ^VI-3,4-disila-2,5-diazane Variations of fivemembered “hetero” cyclosilazanes of the type Si₂N₂El could be enlarged to the systems with El = SO and SO₂. They are obtained by the formation principles 4 + 1 and 2 + 3 respectively, according to the equation (1), (4) and (5). The prepared compound are described in their properties and confirmed in their structure (Tables 1–2).

Carbophilic reaction of 1,3-benzodithiole-2-thione (1) with trideuteroborane · dimethylsulfide, synthesized from NaBD₄ and BF₃ ·Me ₂S inTHF, gave 2,2-dideutero-1,3-benzodithiole (5 b) as well as the minor side-products7 b,8 and9 b.

     

Self-assembled chiral terpyridine ruthenium complexes

A rigid terpyridine ligand containing chiral alkyl chains has been synthesized, characterized and subsequently complexed with ruthenium(II) ions. The product was characterized by MALDI-TOF-MS, UV-vis and NMR. Circular dichroism showed the appearance of extended helical columnar aggregates.     

Über die Carotinoide Flavoxanthin und Chrysanthemaxanthin: 1H-NMR.-, 13C-NMR.- und Massen-Spektren und absolute Konfiguration. (Kritische Überprüfung veröffentlichter chemischer und physikalischer Daten)

On the Carotenoids Flavoxanthin and Chrysanthemaxanthin: ¹H-NMR., ¹³C-NMR. and Mass Spectra, Absolute Configuration, Survey of Published Data Very pure flavoxanthin ( 1 ) and chrysanthemaxanthin ( 2 ) have been reisolated from flower heads of Taraxacum officinale. Both compounds were characterized by chromatographic, chemical and chiroptical data and extensive NMR. measurements. Examination of many published data on 1 and 2 led to the conclusion that flavoxanthin has often been mistaken for chrysanthemaxanthin and vice versa. Chemical degradation of 1 and 2 to (?)-loliolide ( 5 ) coupled with NMR. evidence (ASIS, spin-decoupling, NOE) allowed the assignment of the absolute configurations of 1 and 2 . Thus (+)-flavoxanthin is (3S,5R,8R, 3′R,6′R)-5, 8-epoxy-5, 8-dihydro-β, ε-carotene-3, 3′-diol and (+)-chrysanthemaxanthin its C(8)-epimer.     

The determination of chlorinated biphenyls,chlorinated dibenzodioxins,and chlorinated dibenzofurans by GC-MS

High resolution gas chromatography, with mass selective detection, has been used for the analysis of PCB on methyl 50 % octyl polysiloxane (SB 50 Octyl), methyl octadecyl polysiloxane, and a smectic polysiloxane (SB Smectic); and for the analysis of polychlorodibenzodioxins and polychlorodibenzofurans with 1 to 8 chlorine substituents on 100 % cyanopropyl siloxane (SP 2331), smectic polysiloxane (SB Smectic), a new polar stationary phase (DB-Dioxin). The analysis has also been performed by column coupling.     

Cycloarsanes (AsCF3)n (n = 4, 5) – Precursors for the Highly Reactive Diarsene F3CAs=AsCF3

Tetrakis(trifluoromethyl) cyclotetraarsane (F₃CAs)₄ ( 2 ) was used to repeat the UV initiated [4+2]‐cycloaddition reaction of the diarsene F₃CAs=AsCF₃ ( 1 ) with cyclohexa‐1,3‐diene (CHD) and to isolate single crystals of the cycloadduct 4 for a X‐ray diffraction analysis. 4 crystallizes in the space group and contains the diarsene group in its E‐configuration. 2 was also applied for [2+2]‐cycloaddition reactions of 1 with tBuC≡P and MeC≡CNⁱPr₂, but in contrast to positive results with (F₃CP)₄ the products were too labile for isolation. However, 2 was successfully used at room temperature as precursor for coordinating 1 as π‐donor ligand to the Pd(PPh₃)₂ complex fragment yielding η²‐bis(trifluoromethyl)diarsene‐bis(triphenylphosphane)‐palladium(0) 5 , which was characterized by X‐ray diffraction of single crystals and by spectroscopic investigations (NMR, IR, MS). Attempts to prove the existence of the diarsene 1 , generated by different methods, by spectroscopic studies very probably failed due to its extreme reactivity, not allowing the necessary concentrations for detection. Quantum chemical calculations of the stability of 1 with respect to dimerization, the stability of the [2+2]‐cycloadduct with 1‐di(isopropyl)aminopropyne and the energy difference between 4 and the 2,3‐dimethyl‐1,3‐butadiene cycloadduct of 1 were performed to understand the considerable differences between 1 and the related diphosphene F₃CP=PCF₃.
