Zusammenfassung Die Darstellung von Mono-, Di- und Tri-Lithiumcyanurat durch Umsetzung von Cyanursäure mit LiOH bzw. Li₂CO₃ in hochsiedenden Alkoholen und durch lösungsmittelfreie Festkörperreaktion wird beschrieben. Die Festkörperreaktionen werden mit Hilfe thermoanalytischer Methoden untersucht. Die Reaktion mit LiOH erfolgt in zwei Schritten und ergibt bei 400°C. Trilithium-cyanurat. Unter denselben Bedingungen wird mit Li₂CO₃ nur Dilithium-cyanurat gebildet. Die Thermolyse von Trilithium-cyanurat bei 550°C liefert in hoher Ausbeute Lithiumcyanat und stellt somit eine einfache Methode zur Darstellung dieser Verbindung in wasserfreier Form dar.

Formation and thermolysis of lithium cyanurates (a simple preparation of anhydrous lithium cyanate)

The formation of mono-, di- and tri-lithium cyanurate by reaction of LiOH or Li₂CO₃ with cyanuric acid has been investigated as a solid state reaction and by using high boiling alcohols as reaction medium. For investigating the solid state reactions thermoanalytical methods were used. The reaction with LiOH proceeds in two steps yielding trilithium cyanurate at 400°C. Under the same conditions only dilithium cyanurate is formed by reaction with Li₂CO₃. Lithium cyanate is obtained in high yields by thermolysis of trilithium cyanurate at 550°C. This procedure is therefore a simple method in synthesizing pure anhydrous lithium cyanate.

Heterogeneous-catalytic fischer reaction

The catalytic synthesis of 7-azaindole and its 2-methyl derivative has been accomplished for the first time by cyclization of acetaldehyde and acetone 2-pyridylhydrazones in the presence of -Al₂O₃ and fluorinated aluminum oxide. The temperature dependence of the yields of reaction products — azaindoles and 2-aminopyridine — was studied. The cyclization of acetaldehyde 2-pyridylhydrazone proceeds under more severe conditions. The maximum yield of 7-azaindole is 15% at 450° on fluorinated aluminum oxide. The yield of 2-methyl-7-azaindole reaches 50% at 315°. Fluorinated aluminum oxide displays higher catalytic activity.See [1] for communication III.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 656–658, May, 1972.     

Electron screening in low energy scattering of muonic hydrogen on hydrogen atoms

Electron screening corrections to the cross sections for low energy scattering of muonic hydrogen on hydrogen atoms are calculated. It is shown that the presence of the electron influences considerably the elastic cross sections at collision energies below 1 eV. This influence is relatively small for the spin-flip and isotopic exchange processes.     

Separation and determination of arsenic(V) and arsenic(III) in sea-water by solvent extraction and atomic-absorption spectrophotometry by the hydride-generation technique

Arsenic(V) and arsenic(III) in sea-water have been separated by complexing the arsenic(III) with ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APDC) in the range 4.0-4.5 and extracting the complex with chloroform. The organic phase is then wet-ashed with a 1:1 mixture of concentrated nitric acid and perchloric acid to get rid of all organics, and the arsenic(III) is determined by hydride generation and atomic-absorption spectrophotometry. Total arsenic is determined by first reducing arsenic(V) to arsenic(III) with potassium iodide and then applying the method used for arsenic(III). The arsenic(V) content is determined by difference. The low detection limit of 0.031 ng ml and the high sensitivity and precision make the method suitable for analysis of open ocean waters.

Nitration of pentaerythritol by HNO3-H2SO4-H2O system

Conclusions It was shown experimentally that the nitrating agent in the O-nitration of pentaerythritol by HNO₃-H₂SO₄-H₂O nitrating mixtures is not the nitronium cation but evidently the free unionized nitric acid molecule.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 134–140, January, 1970.

Viskoelastische Eigenschaften von Polyisobutylenen in verdünnten Lösungen

Zusammenfassung Die Speicher- und VerlustmodulnG undG verdünnter Lösungen (2–4%) dreier Isobutylenpolymerisate mit den Molekulargewichten 0,63, 1,29 und 11×10⁵ wurden in der Apparatur vonBirnboim undFerry über einen Frequenzbereich von 0,4–400 Hz und einen Temperaturbereich von –17,5 bis 25,0° bestimmt. Für die scharf fraktionierten Polymerisate von niederem Molekulargewicht ergab die Frequenzabhängigkeit der Moduln eine ausgezeichnete Übereinstimmung mit der Theorie vonZimm. Die aus den experimentell erhaltenen Kurven ermittelten Molekulargewichte und größten Relaxationszeiten waren von der erwarteten Größenordnung. Für das Polymerisat mit höherem Molekulargewicht entsprach die Frequenzabhängigkeit vonG undG – _s jedoch der Theorie vonRouse. Der Einfluß der hydrodynamischen Wechselwirkung in der Bewegung der Knäuelsegmente, in welchem der Unterschied zwischen den beiden Theorien besteht, erscheint als von der Größe des Molekulargewichts abhängig.

Summary The storage and loss moduliG andG of dilute (2–4%) solutions of three polyisobutylenes of molecular weight 0.63, 1.29, and 11×10⁵ were determined in the apparatus ofBirnboim andFerry over a frequency range of 0.4 to 400 cps, and a temperature range of –17.0 to 25.0°. The sharply fractionated polymers of low molecular weight showed a frequency dependence in excellent agreement with the theory ofZimm. The experimentally determined molecular weights and terminal relaxation times were of the expected order of magnitude. The frequency dependence of the polymer of highest molecular weight, however, conformed more closely to the theory ofRouse. The influence of the hydrodynamic interaction on the motion of the coil segments, which constitutes the difference in the two theories, appears to depend on the magnitude of the molecular weight.

     

Sterically controlled reductive oligomerisations of CO by activated magnesium(i) compounds: deltate vs. ethenediolate formation

An extremely bulky, symmetrical three-coordinate magnesium(i) complex, [{(^TCHPNacnac)Mg}₂] (^TCHPNacnac = [{(TCHP)NCMe}₂CH]⁻, TCHP = 2,4,6-tricyclohexylphenyl) has been prepared and shown to have an extremely long Mg–Mg bond (3.021(1) Å) for such a complex. It was shown not to react with either DMAP (4-dimethylaminopyridine) or CO. Three unsymmetrical 1 : 1 DMAP adducts of less bulky Mg–Mg bonded species have been prepared, viz. [(^ArNacnac)Mg–Mg(DMAP)(^ArNacnac)] (^ArNacnac = [(ArNCMe)₂CH]⁻ Ar = 2,6-xylyl (Xyl), mesityl (Mes) or 2,6-diethylphenyl (Dep)), and their reactivity toward CO explored. Like the previously reported bulkier complex, [(^DipNacnac)Mg–Mg(DMAP)(^DipNacnac)] (Dip = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), [(^DepNacnac)Mg–Mg(DMAP)(^DepNacnac)] reductively trimerises CO to give a rare example of a deltate complex, [{(^DepNacnac)Mg(μ-C₃O₃)Mg(DMAP)(^DepNacnac)}₂]. In contrast, the two smaller adduct complexes react with only two CO molecules, ultimately giving unusual ethenediolate complexes [{(^ArNacnac)Mg{μ-OC(H) C(DMAP^−H)O}Mg(^ArNacnac)}₂] (Ar = Xyl or Mes). DFT calculations show the latter reactions to proceed via reductive dimerizations of CO, and subsequent intramolecular C–H activation of Mg-ligated DMAP by “zig–zag” [C₂O₂]²⁻ fragments of reaction intermediates. Calculations also suggest that magnesium deltate complexes are kinetic products in these reactions, while the magnesium ethenediolates are thermodynamic products. This study shows that subtle changes to the bulk of the reacting 1 : 1 DMAP–magnesium(i) adduct complexes can lead to fine steric control over the products arising from their CO reductive oligomerisations. Furthermore, it is found that the more activated nature of the adduct complexes, relative to their symmetrical, three-coordinate counterparts, [{(^ArNacnac)Mg}₂], likely derives more from the polarisation of the Mg–Mg bonds of the former, than the elongated nature of those bonds.

Subtle changes to the bulk of 1 : 1 adducts of DMAP with magnesium(i) complexes leads to steric control over the products arising from their reductive oligomerisations of carbon monoxide.      

High-throughput cytochrome P450 inhibition screening via cassette probe-dosing strategy. IV. Validation of a direct injection on-line guard cartridge extraction/tandem mass spectrometry method for simultaneous CYP3A4, 2D6 and 2E1 inhibition assessment

A highly efficient direct injection on-line guard cartridge extraction/tandem mass spectrometry (DI-GCE/MS/MS) method has been validated for high-throughput evaluation of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, 2D6 and 2E1 inhibition potential via cassette dosing of midazolam, dextromethorphan and chlorzoxazone using human hepatic microsomes and 96-well microtiter plates. Microsomal incubations were terminated with formic acid, centrifuged, and the resulting supernatants were injected for analysis by DI-GCE/MS/MS. Due to the novel use of an extremely short C(18) guard cartridge (4 mm in length), this method exhibits several advantages such as no sample preparation, excellent on-line extraction, short run time (2.5 min), and minimized source contamination and performance deterioration. The DI-GCE/MS/MS method demonstrates acceptable accuracy and precision for the simultaneous quantification of 1'-hydroxymidazolam, dextrorphan and 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone in microsomal incubations. The inhibition potential of CYP3A4, 2D6 and 2E1 has been evaluated using their known selective inhibitors. The IC(50) values measured by the cassette dosing approach (high-throughput) are consistent with those observed by an individual dosing regimen (conventional) and are all in good agreement with the literature values. The results suggest that the cassette probe-dosing strategy may provide an in vitro approach to minimize cost while maximizing throughput of CYP inhibition evaluation of new chemical entities in support of drug discovery and development.
