Synthese de C-nucleosides—IX : Purines substituees en position 8 par le desoxy-2 ribose

Benzyl 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluyl-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl thioformimidate 3, prepared from nitrile 1, reacts with α-aminocyanoacetic acid derivatives to yield C-imidazole nucleosides which are further cyclized into purines. The 6-mercapto purine 2 is obtained in two different ways.     

Retardation effects in ion-ion collisons

The modification of the two center screened electronic Coulomb potential due to relativistic kinematical effects is investigated in the Coulomb gauge. Both nuclear and electronic charges were approximated by Gaussian distributions. For ion velocitiesv/c =0.1 the effect may roughly be approximated by a 0.1 % increase in the effective strength for the monopole term of the two center potential. Thus for ion kinetic energies not exceeding a few MeV/nucleon this relativistic contribution induces small effects on the binding energy of the 1σ-electrons except for super critical charges.     

Target fragmentation in proton-nucleus and16O-nucleus reactions at 60 and 200 GeV/nucleon

Target remnants withZ<3 from proton-nucleus and¹⁶O-nucleus reactions at 60 and 200 GeV/nucleon were measured in the angular range from 30° to 160° (?1.7<η<1.3) employing the Plastic Ball detector. The excitation energy of the target spectator matter in central oxygen-induced collisions is found to be high enough to allow for complete disintegration of the target nucleus into fragments withZ<3. The average longitudinal momentum transfer per proton to the target in central collisions is considerably higher in the case of¹⁶O-induced reactions (≈300 MeV/c) than in proton-induced reactions (≈130 MeV/c). The baryon rapidity distributions are roughly in agreement with one-fluid hydrodynamical calculations at 60 GeV/nucleon¹⁶O+Au but are in disagreement at 200 GeV/nucleon, indicating the higher degree of transparency at the higher bombarding energy. Both, the transverse momenta of target spectators and the entropy produced in the target fragmentation region are compared to those attained in head-on collisions of two heavy nuclei at Bevalac energies. They are found to be comparable or do even exceed the values for the participant matter at beam energies of about 1–2 GeV/nucleon.     

Investigations of oxidative UV photolysis

Summary Oxidative UV photolysis according to DIN standard 38406 E 16 [1] has been investigated as a sample preparation method for voltammetry. UV photolysis has decisive advantages compared with mineral acid digestion owing to the simple procedure and the very low blank values, which in turn are due to the minimal reagent addition required. For UV photolysis with a high pressure mercury lamp, an apparatus has been used that employs a new type of sample cooling and that allows the simultaneous irradiation of 12 samples. The sample preparation for the voltammetric determination of zinc, cadmium, lead, copper, nickel and cobalt has been optimized using a model water solution and subsequently tested with real matrices. The type of organic matrix and the irradiation temperature determine the irradiation time required. To digest aromatic compounds, it is advantageous to work at reaction temperatures of ca. 90°C. The application of UV photolysis centers on water samples slightly polluted with organic compounds; however, it can also be used with more heavily polluted wastewaters. As the digestion times are at most 60 min, the method is of interest for routine analysis.
