The electron-impact-induced elimination of piperidine from the title compound could be established by investigation of the unsymmetrically ²H-labelled compound. The mechanism of a 1,1-elimination can be excluded be unequivocally.     

Mikrobestimmung des Fluors in organischen Substanzen

Zusammenfassung Es wurde ein Mikroverfahren zur Bestimmung von organisch gebundenem Fluor ausgearbeitet. Die Substanz wird mit Kalium im Glasröhrchen aufgeschlossen. Die Röhrchen werden vorher durch Auskochen mit Salzsäure blindwertfrei gemacht. Die Titration des Fluoridions kann durch geeignete Maßnahmen direkt in der Aufschlußlösung erfolgen, so daß die zeitraubende Abdestillation des Fluorids erspart wird. Die Titration selbst wird in bekannter Weise mittels Thoriumnitrat durchgeführt. Als Indikatoren dienen Alizarinrot S, dem Wasserblau oder Chinablau zugesetzt ist. ZurpH-Einstellung dient ein Glycin-Perchlorsäure-Puffer.

Summary A method was developed for the determination of organically bound fluorine. The sample is decomposed by heating with potassium in a small glass tube. The tubes are treated ahead of time with hot hydrochloric acid to render them blank-free. The titration of the fluoride ion can be conducted directly in the decomposition solution if proper precautions are taken. The time-consuming distilling off of the fluoride is thus avoided. The titration itself is made in the usual manner by thorium nitrate. The indicator is alizarin red S, to which is-added water blue or China blue. A glycerol-perchloric acid buffer is used to-adjust the p_h.

Résumé Mise au point d'un procédé de microdosage du fluor dans les composés-organiques. La substance est attaquée par le potassium dans de petits tubes de verre. Ceux-ci sont préalablement traités dans l'acide chlorhydrique bouillant pour éviter toute correction d'essai à blanc. Le titrage de l'ion fluorure peut être exécuté directement dans la solution provenant de l'attaque sous réserve de respecter des conditions appropriées; on évite ainsi la longue séparation du fluorure par distillation. Le titrage proprement dit est effectué de la façon habituelle à l'aide de nitrate de thorium en présence d'un indicateur constitué par du rouge d'alizarine S auquel on a ajouté du bleu soluble (Wasserblau ou Chinablau). On opère àpH constant à l'aide du tampon glycocolle — acide perchlorique.

     

Massenspektrometrische Untersuchung von Amiden: III—Intramolekulare Nucleophile Substitution bei der Methyl-Abspaltung aus Crotonsaurepiperidid und Vinylogen Derivaten

The methyl cleavage from piperidides of type CH₃(CH?CH)_nCONC₅H₁₀ with n = 1 to 3 does not proceed via ring contraction as shown earlier with n = 0. The fragmentation can be formulated with the concept of neighbouring group participation of the amide function which leads to a cyclic transition state. Investigations with a ²H-labelled compound in the case of n = 1 as well as energy measurements (AP, IP, E_k) agree with this assumption.     

Synthesis,structure and catalytic properties of bis[2‐(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]silanediol

A novel trifluoromethylaryl‐substituted disilanol, bis[(2‐trifluoromethyl)phenyl] silanediol, was prepared by hydrolysis of the precursor dichloride and fully characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction indicates doubly linked hydrogen bonded dimers and also hydrogen bonding to tetrahydrofuran solvent. The acidity of the silanol functions is enhanced by the presence of the trifluoromethyl groups and the compound is found to be active in promoting a standard Diels–Alder reaction, increasing yields by a factor of three.     

Elucidation of the Reaction Products of Acetonitrile with Phosphorus Pentachloride

Abstract

The reaction of acetonitrile with PCl, results in the ionic compounds (1) to (4) containing the trichloro[2-chloro-2-[(trichlorophosphoranyli-dene)amino]ethenyl]phosphorus cations and not in the compounds [CH2?C?NPCl₃]PCl₆1 or trichloro[2-chloro-1 -[(trichlorophosphoranyli-dene)amino] ethenyl]phosphorus hexachlorophosphate (5) as assumed from ³¹P-NMR spectra [2, 3]. The crystal structures of the compounds (1) to (4) were determined with X-rays at 95K. As observed for the CI-C(NPCl₃); cation all the cations show cis-trans conformations with respect to their CI-C-X-P torsion angles. The wcl3 groups of the cations have two different orientations with one C?N?P?CI torsion angle of about 0° (cis) as in (1) or about 180° (trans) as in (3) and (4). In the salt (2) there are two formula units in the asymmetric unit with one cation showing the cis and the other showing the tram conformation.     

Solubilisation of camptothecin by nonionic surfactants and alkyldimethylamine oxides

The solubilisation of poorly soluble antineoplastic drug camptothecin by nonionic surfactants (polysorbates and octylphenol ethoxylates) and alkyldimethylamine oxide surfactants with the alkyl chain length 8 to 16 carbon atoms was investigated. The hydrophobicity of the solubilising agent turned out to be the primary structural parameter controlling the solubility efficiency of camptothecin in an aqueous solution. The quantitative parameter of solubilisation (drug loading coefficient) provided values in the range of 0.1–1.2% and 0.1–1.0% for alkyldimethylamine oxides and nonionic surfactants, respectively. The decreasing number of oxyethylene units and the extension of the hydrophobic part of nonionic surfactant molecule resulted in the increase of camptothecin solubility. From the dynamic light scattering measurements, the hydrodynamic diameter values of camptothecin-loaded alkyldimethylamine oxide and nonionic micelles were found in the range of 4–42 nm and 5–120 nm, respectively. The experimental values confirmed the increase in micellar size with the increasing alkyl chain length. The values of the packing parameter of camptothecin-loaded dodecyldimethylamine oxide micelles indicate their spherical shape at all the investigated surfactant concentrations. A simple computer model of camptothecin-loaded dodecyldimethylamine oxide micelle provided the diameter of the structure cross section which is consistent with the experimental values.
