Janus-type isopropyl groups revealed by 1H-NMR spectra of alkylpyridines with lanthanide shift reagents (LSR)

Two Isomeric pyridines were designed and prepared : 2-isopropyl-4,5,6-trimethyl-(3) and 2-isopropyl-3,4,6-trimethyl-pyridine (7); the latter, with a buttressed isopropyl, leads to much lower induced shifts by Eu(dpm)₃ and Pr(dpm)₃ than the former, owing to the conformation in which the Janus-type iPr group how to the LSR a t-butyl-like face.     

Ph2SO/Tf2O: a powerful promotor system in chemoselective glycosylations using thioglycosides

Diphenylsulfoxide in combination with triflic anhydride provides a very potent thiophilic glycosylation promotor system, capable of activating disarmed thioglycosides. The usefulness of this novel thiophilic activator is illustrated in a successful chemoselective glycosylation sequence in which the donor thioglycoside in the first condensation step may be either armed or disarmed.

Processing and error analysis of signals in flow-injection analysis

The processing and error analysis of signals in flow-injection systems were systematically studied by simulation and experimental measurements. The content includes an error analysis for peak-height and peak-area signal, a least-squares filtering procedure applied to the flow-injection curve and a peak recognition to remove interferences from air bubbles. Simulation results were obtained by statistical processing of peak-height and peak-area values from Gaussian curves to which noise had been added. The experimental measurements were done by an automatic flow-injection device to obtain detailed information for each individual point of a peak. 2-(2-Arsenophenylazo)-7-(2,6-dichlorophenylazo-4-sulphonic acid)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulphonic acid (DCSA) was used for measuring physical dispersion alone, and Fe(II)-o-phenanthroline for the measurement of both physical dispersion and chemical reaction. The results from computer simulation and experiments agreed well.     

Analysis of certain mixtures ofα-Amino acids

Summary -Amino acids are determined by reaction with perinaphthindan-2,3,4-trione hydrate to form dihydroxyperinaphthindenone which is titrated with chloramine-T in the presence of acidified bromide and methyl red. The thiol group of cysteine is blocked by cyano-ethylation before determination. Some amino acids can be directly titrated with chloramine-T in the presence of bromide and methyl red, e. g., cysteine (after cyanoethylation), methionine and lanthionine, or in the presence of iodide and starch, e. g., cysteine (after tetrathionate reaction) when concomitant amino acids do not interfere. These methods are used to analyze model mixtures of cysteine with serine, methionine with glycine and cysteine with methionine.

Analyse bestimmter Gemische von -Aminosäuren

Zusammenfassung -Aminosäuren werden mit Peri-Naphthindan-2,3,4-trion-hydrat umgesetzt, wobei sich Dihydroxyperinaphthindenon bildet, das mit Chloramin T in der Gegenwart von angesäuertem Bromid und Methylrot titriert wird. Die Thiolgruppe des Cysteins wird vor der Bestimmung durch Cyanoäthylierung blockiert. Manche Aminosäuren können unmittelbar mit Chloramin T in der Gegenwart von Bromid und Methylrot titriert werden, z. B. Cystein (nach Cyanoäthylierung), Methionin und Lanthionin, oder in Gegenwart von Jodid und Stärke Cystein (nach Umsetzung mit Tetrathionat), wenn die begleitende Aminosäure nicht stört. Diese Verfahren wurden benutzt, um Modellgemische von Cystein mit Serin, Methionin mit Glycin und Cystein mit Methionin zu analysieren.

     

One-pot synthesis of β-amino acid derivatives via addition of bis(O-silyl) ketene acetals on iminium salts

We report here our findings on a new and highly efficient strategy for the synthesis of β-amino acids involving the addition of bis(O-silyl) ketene acetals on Mannich type iminium electrophiles.     

Synthesis and structures of cis- and trans-bis(alkyneselenolato)platinum(II) complexes

The reaction of 2 equiv of LiSeCC-n-C(5)H(11) (1) with cis-PtCl(2)(Ph(3)P)(2) (2) gives a mixture of the cis and trans isomers of Pt(Ph(3)P)(2)(SeCC-n-C(5)H(11))(2) (3), which slowly isomerizes in CH(2)Cl(2) to the preferred trans form trans-3. The closely related cis-[Pt(dppf)(2)(SeCC-n-C(5)H(11))(2)] (4) (dppf = bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) was prepared by a similar metathetical reaction using the platinum chloride complex of the chelating dppf to impose the cis geometry. The structures of the cis and trans complexes have been investigated in solution by heteronuclear NMR ((31)P, (77)Se, and (195)Pt) and, in the cases of trans-3 and 4, characterized in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Changing the coordination geometry from cis to trans induces significant changes in the structural and spectroscopic parameters, which do not comply with the previously anticipated donor-acceptor properties of selenolate ligands.     

Synthesis of unsymmetrical 2,4-dialkylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines

The reaction of 3-aminopyrazole with imidate esters such as ethyl acetimidate, gave N-(pyrazol-3-yl)acetamidine (1) rather than the isomeric 2-acetamidoyl-3-aminopyrazole. Ring closure of 1 with orthoesters such as ethyl propionimidate, afforded unsymmetrically substituted 2.4-dialkylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines such as 4-ethyl-2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine (3). The structure of 1 was confirmed by several alternate syntheses. The unique feature of this two-step synthetic approach to the synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines is that it is a convenient method of preparing fused triazines based on available pyrazoles rather than the less accessible dialkyltriazines.     

IR-Spektren der Caesium-bis-sulfato-metallate(III)

Compounds of the type CsLn(SO₄)₂, (Ln=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) were prepared at 300°C. IR spectra were recorded in the range 4,000-250cm^–1 and tentatively assigned. The number of observed bands exceeds the predicted number by site symmetry selection rules. Streching bands show bathochromic shifts whereas the deformations exibit hypsochromic shifts on going to heavier lanthanides. At the same time there is an increased splitting of these bands in the same direction. All these facts indicate an increased coupling in the layer structure which is in accordance with the lanthanide contraction.
