13C-nmr of carbonyl compounds 1. Stereodynamic behaviour of acyclic and cyclic dienones

The conformational mobility of a series of conjugated dienones is investigated by low-temperature NMR- and IR-spectroscopy and interpreted in terms of substituent effects.     

Li(thf)3cyclo-(P4tBu4CH)]--synthesis, molecular structure and dynamic behaviour

[Li(thf)3cyclo-(P4tBu4CH)] (2-Li), containing the first tetraphosphacyclopentanide anion cyclo-(P4tBu4CH)- (2), was prepared, and its dynamic behaviour in solution analysed by variable-temperature 31P NMR spectroscopy.     

A modification of the heteropoly blue method for the microgram determination of arsenic in biological materials

Summary A sensitive method has been developed for analysis of trace amounts of arsenic in biological materials using the heteropoly blue method. The method employs a closed apparatus and a nitrogen atmosphere, and allows the detection of arsenic in ppm concentration using samples of 100 mg.

Zusammenfassung Eine empfindliche Methode zur Bestimmung von Arsenspuren in biologischem Material im Wege der Molybdänblaumethode wurde ausgearbeitet. Man arbeitet dabei in einer geschlossenen Apparatur in Stickstoffatmosphäre und kann so in 100-mg-Proben Arsenkonzentrationen in der Größenordnung von ppm bestimmen.

Stereolabile chiral compounds: analysis by dynamic chromatography and stopped-flow methods

Enantiomerization and diastereomerization reactions of chiral compounds play a major role in all aspects of chemistry spanning a wide bridge from drug development to supramolecular chemistry. Traditionally, these reactions are studied by variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy and chiroptical methods such as polarimetry. However, powerful complimentary methods based on chromatography and electrophoresis have been developed and applied to a variety of stereolabile chiral compounds. This tutorial review explains the principles, applications, and limitations of dynamic chromatography and chromatographic and electrophoretic stopped-flow analysis for the investigation of isomerization reactions of chiral compounds.     

Crystal Structures of Hydrochlorides of 2,3-Pentamethylene-3, 4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one

The crystal structures of hydrate (1) and anhydrate (2) forms of 2,3-pentamethylene-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one hydrochloride have been determined by X-ray structure analysis. Crystal data of 1 are 2(C₁₃H₁₄N₂O)*3(HCl)*4.5 (H₂O), triclinic P?1, Z=2, a=8.004(5), b=13.129(7), c=15.725(7) Å, α=106.45(4), β=92.61(4), γ=97.98(5), R=0.0652 and 2 are C₁₃H₁₄N₂O*HCl, monoclinic C2/c, Z=8, a=21.360(4), b=5.954(1), c=21.263(4), β=117.89(3), R=0.0556. The crystal of the hydrate form 1is unstable. This form collapses easily with evaporation of H₂O and part of HCl molecules from crystals. By recrystallizing destroyed form has been obtained stable crystal form 2.     

Photochemische Reaktionen 81. Mitteilung [1] Notiz zur UV.-Bestrahlung von γ, δ-Epoxy-eucarvon und dessen Reaktivität gegenüber Botrifluorid-äthylätherat

UV.-irradiation (λ ≥ 327 nm) of the α,β-unsaturated γ,δ-epoxy ketone 2 in pentane gives the isomers oxidoketone 3 and diketone 4, in high yield. On treatment with BF₃O(C₂H₅)₂, 2 undergoes rearrangement to the diketone 4 and the isomeric lactone 8 and yields also the dimer 9.     

Spontaneous Nef reaction of 3-aryl-2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-4-nitroalkanoic acids

Spontaneous Nef reaction of primary and secondary 3-aryl-2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-4-nitroalkanoic acids has been observed for the first time. The reaction provides a general and effective, highly diastereoselective synthesis of 3-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-1-hydroxysuccinimides and 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-4-oxoalkanoic acids.     

InclusiveK *+(890),K *+(1430) and\bar K^{ * - } (890) production inK + p interactions at 32 GeV/c

We present final results on inclusive production ofK ^*+(890),K ^*+(1430) andK ^*?(890) in \(\bar K^ + p\) interactions at 32 GeV/c, based on a statistics of ～27 events/μb. Total cross sections,p _T -andx-dependence of inclusive distributions are compared with experiments at other energies and with the Lund fragmentation model. Spin density matrix elements of theK ^*+(890) are also discussed. The results suggest that “recombination” of both initial state valence quarks \(\bar s\) andu of theK ⁺ intoK ^*+(890), responsible in the Lund model for ～45% of theK ^*+(890) cross section, is strongly suppressed.     

Neutral strange particle production inK + p interactions at 32 GeV/c

The production properties ofK _s ⁰ , \(\bar \Lambda\) andK ⁺ p interactions at 32 GeV/c are investigated using the final statistics of the experiment. We present total and semi-inclusive cross sections and aver-age multiplicities. Estimates are given of the diffractive dissociation contributions to total and differential cross sections. Thex-,p _T ^?, and transverse mass dependence of inclusive and semi-inclusive distributions is discussed as well as properties of “prompt”K _s ⁰ 's. The ratio of “prompt”K ₈₉₀ ⁺ (K ₈₉₀ ⁰ ) to “prompt”K ⁰ cross sections is measured to be 1.03±0.12 (0.98±0.17). From a comparison of \(\bar \Lambda\) production inK ^± p interactions at 32 GeV/c, we estimate a strange sea-quark suppression of 0.26 ±0.02. The double differential cross sections ofK _s ⁰ 's is studied as a function of Feynman-x andp _T ² , and a Triple-Regge fit performed. The data are compared in detail to versions of the Lund-model for low-p _T hadronic collisions.
