Laser photolysis study of the triplet states of nitroaromatic amides

The spectrokinetic indices of the triplet states of nitroaromatic amides were established. The quenching of triplet states by tertiary aromatic amines in apolar solvents leads to the formation of triplet exciplexes. A charge transfer state makes the major contribution to the structure of these exciplexes. Hydrogen atom transfer proceeds efficiently in the case of secondary aromatic amines, leading to the formation of the corresponding neutral radicals.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1912–1915, August, 1989.     

Action of light on the relative activity of peroxidase in the aerobic oxidation of lignin

It has been established that the activity of peroxidase depends to a considerable degree on the radiation dose and the spectral composition of the light. A special sensitivity of the enzyme to the action of the blue and red regions of the spectrum has been shown. In the investigation it was found that light with a wavelength greater than 520 nm promotes the liberation, and short wave light the consumption, of oxygen during the aerobic oxidation of lignin in the presence of peroxidase.Siberian-Research Institute of Cellulose and Cardboard, Bratsk.

Etude de l''addition des organomagnesiens satures et benzyliques aux enynes conjugues, simples et fonctionnels

Saturated and benzylic organomagnesium compounds are shown to readily undergo addition reactions with the conjugated enynes H$\text{C}\text{4}$$\text{C}\text{3}$C$\text{H}\text{2}$$\text{C}\text{1}$HCH₂R′, with R′ = alkyl, OH, OC₄H₉, NHC₂₅, N(C₂H₅)₂, by refluxing for several hours in benzene or toluene.This reaction leads to both υ-acetylenic compounds (1,2-addition) and β-allenic compounds (1,4-addition).
