Reaktionen mit Blei(IV)-acetat,XVI. Eine neuartige Umwandlung von 2-Acetoxy-3-oxo-4,5-epoxy-steroiden

Treatment of 3-oxo-4, 5-oxido steroids with lead tetraacetate results in acetoxylation in the 2α-position as could be shown by independent synthesis of the acetoxylated compounds. The products of this reaction rearrange even under very mild conditions (chromatography on silicagel or alumina) to the corresponding 2,3-dioxo-Δ⁴ compounds. The influence of structure and conformation of the various intermediates on their NMR.-spectra is discussed. A mechanism for this new transformation is proposed.     

Reagents for new heteroannelation reactions III. 2-(Methylthio)-2-thiazoline

Summary A variety of partly novel tri- and tetracyclic hetero systems were obtained by reaction of heteroaromatic 2-aminoesters with 2-(methylthio)-2-thiazoline, yielding double-annelation of a thiazolo[2,3-b]pyrimido moiety in a one-pot process.On leave from University of Chittagong, Bangladesh     

Flotation—spectrophotometric determination of osmium with thiocyanate and methylene blue

A sensitive flotation—spectrophotometric method, based on the ion associate formed by the anionic thiocyanate complex of osmium with the basic dye methylene blue (MB) is described. The ion associate precipitates when the aqueous solution is shaken with toluene, and the separated and washed compound is dissolved in acetone. The molar absorptivity is 2.2 × 10⁵ l mol^-1 cm^-1 at 655 nm. Beer's law is obeyed. The molar ratio of Os:SCN:MB in the separated and washed ion associate is 1:6:3. Ruthenium reacts similarly. The method is applied to the determination of traces of osmium in crucible platinum after separation of osmium by distillation as tetroxide.     

A new chemiluminescence system: MnO(-)(4)-Na(2)CO(3)-KOH and its application in the determination of manganese

A new, fast and simple inorganic chemiluminescence method for the determination of trace amounts of manganese is described. When MnO(-)(4) is injected into 0.40M Na(2)CO(3)-0.70M KOH mixed solution in a reaction cell, the strong chemiluminescence occurs and is recorded. The detection limit is 0.1 ppb Mn and the linear range extends from 0.1 to 10 ppb Mn. A 5-ppb Mn concentration can be determined with a relative standard deviation of 5.6% (15 replicates). The commonly encountered cations do not interfere with the determinations. This method has been successfully applied to the direct determination of manganese in bauxite. The reaction mechanism is also briefly discussed.

Efficient syntheses of imidazolo[1,2-a]pyridines and -[2, 1-a]isoquinolines

2-Aminopyridines 1a-c and 1-aminoisoquinoline with 1-chloromethylbenzotriazole give 2-amino-1-[alpha-benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl]pyridinium chlorides 2a-c and 1-amino-2-(alpha-benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)isoquinolinium++ + chloride 12, respectively. Compounds 2a-c and 12 react with aryl aldehydes 3a-h to afford imidazolo[1,2-a]pyridines 7a-k and imidazolo[2, 1-a]isoquinolines 13a,b in good yields.     

High performance liquid chromatography method for determination of methyl-5-benzoyl-2-benzimidazole carbamate (mebendazole) and its main degradation product in pharmaceutical dosage forms

Methyl-5-benzoyl-2-benzimidazole carbamate (mebendazole) is a drug used as an anthelmintic. A high performance liquid chromatography method has been developed in this study to determine mebendazole and its degradation product in the pharmaceutical dosage forms (tablets and suspension). The expected major degradation product of mebendazole in the dosage forms has been prepared, and identified as 2-amino-5-benzoylbenzimidazole. The proposed HPLC assay was found to be selective, accurate (% recoveries were in the range of 99.9-100.9) for both, mebendazole and the degradation product, repeatable and reproducible (replicate measurements for short and long term measurements showed % RSD of 相似文献   

Switching of global minima of novel germylenic reactive intermediates via halogens (X): C2GeH2 vs. C2GeHX at ab initio and DFT levels

For 30 C₂GeHX germylenic isomers, one cyclic structure, X-germacyclopropenylidene, and three acyclics are considered, which include: ethynyl-X-germylene, X-vinylidenegermylene, and (X-ethynyl)germylene (X = H, F, Cl, and Br). The global minimum among six isomeric C₂GeH₂ (where X = H), is found to be cyclic, aromatic, singlet germacyclopropenylidene. In contrast, among the 24 corresponding halogermylenes, C₂GeHX (where X = F, Cl, and Br), the global minima switch to acyclic, singlet ethynylhalogermylenes, at eight reasonably high ab initio and DFT levels. The direct resonance interaction between X and the divalent center Ge in the singlet acyclic ethynylhalogermylene structures, is claimed to justify switching of the calculated global minima in the halo derivatives. GIAO-NICS calculations indicate that the X-germacyclopropenylidene isomer is more aromatic for X = H than X = F, Cl, or Br. The angle ∠XGeC bending potential energy curves show the singlet and triplet ethynylgermylene crossing at ≈146°, for X = H.     

Theoretical study of intermolecular proton transfer reaction in isolated 5-hydroxyisoxazole–water complexes

A systematic investigation in isolated 5-hydroxyisoxazole–water complexes (5-HIO · (H₂O)_nn = 1–3) is performed at the DFT level, employing B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) basis set. Single-point energy calculations are also performed at the MP2 level using B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) optimized geometries and the 6-311++G(d, p) basis set. The computational results show that the keto tautomer K₂ is the most stable isomer in the gas phase, and the tautomer K₁ to be the next most stable tautomer. Hydrogen bonding between HIO and the water molecule(s) will dramatically lower the barrier by a concerted multiple proton transfer mechanism. The proton transfer process of 3WE_cis ↔ 3WK₁ and 2WE_trans ↔ 2WK₂ is found to be more efficient in two tautomerization, and the barrier heights are 7.03 and 14.15 kcal/mol at B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) level, respectively. However, the proton transfer reaction between E_cis and K₁ cannot happen without solvent-assisted.     

An affinity-based probe for the proteomic profiling of aspartic proteases

We have developed an affinity-based probe for the proteomic profiling of aspartic proteases. Our probe was shown to be selective towards aspartic proteases over other proteins. It was also shown that the strategy may be used to label selectively aspartic proteases in the presence of a large excess of other proteins, thus making it useful for future proteome profiling experiments.
