Mannich reaction in the series of 7-hydroxy-3-phenoxychromones and their derivatives

The Mannich condensation of amino acids with 3-phenoxychromones and polyhydroxy-α-phenoxyacetophenones has given a series of 8-carboxyalkylaminomethylchromones and 3-carboxymethylaminomethyl-2,4-dihydroxy-α-phenoxyacetophenones. Some features of the course of the Mannich reaction as a function of the structures of the chromones and acetophenones have been studied.

Reaction of bis(triethylgermyl)mercury with mercurated acid nitriles

Conclusions The exchange reaction of the radicals between bis(triethylgermyl)mercury and mercury derivatives R₂Hg (R=C(Me₂)CN, C(CF₃)₂CN, CH(CN)₂) leads to the formation of unstable Et₃GeHgR compounds. The composition of the decomposition products of these compounds depends on the nature of R.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2800–2802, December, 1977.     

Structure and Vibrational Spectra of 1:1 Chloranilic Acid (CLA)—Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) Complex

In searching for new molecular materials the crystals of 1:1 complexes of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) with chloranilic acid (CLA) were grown. In the crystalline lattice of TMP.CLA infinite chains of hydrogen bonded components are formed. Very strong (d_(O·sN) = 2.692(2) {?}) hydrogen bonds without proton transfer are present. The components of the complex form stacks of parallel arrangement with the distance typical of van der Waals interaction. One can conclude that in packing, interactions via hydrogen bonds play a decisive role. In the IR spectrum one observes a broad, continuous absorption with well resolved trio typical of strong hydrogen bonds. A detailed analysis of IR and Raman spectra in the low frequency region related to deformation vibrations of CH₃ groups shows that strong interaction via hydrogen bonding only slightly affects the dynamics of these groups.

A method for the synthesis of bi-, ter-, and quaterpyrazoles by cyclization ofC-(diformylmethyl)nitropyrazoles with hydrazine has been elaborated. Some of theirC- andN-derivatives have been obtained. The compounds prepared have been characterized by¹H,¹³C,¹⁴N, and¹⁵N NMR spectra.For communication 6, see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Determination of carvedilol in human cardiac tissue by high-performance liquid chromatography

A new high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of the beta-receptor blocker carvedilol in human cardiac tissue. After homogenizing tissue samples in a microdismembrator, carvedilol and the internal standard naftopidil are extracted with acetone. The extract is evaporated to dryness and reconstituted in a potassium acetate buffer of pH 3.5. Samples are cleaned up with solid-phase extraction columns. Carvedilol and the internal standard show recoveries of 69.8 +/- 12.2% and 63.9 +/- 9.34%, respectively. The linearity range for carvedilol is 0.01-0.35 ng/mg (parts per billion) tissue (wet weight), and the limit of quantitation is 0.01 ng/mg. The percentage coefficient of variation of the intra-assay varies between 1.45 and 5.38% and the interassay between 4.25 and 6.96%. To use as an application of the assay, the cardiac carvedilol tissue level in a patient on oral carvedilol therapy for congestive heart failure is reported.     

Synthesis and structure of copper(II) complexes with diaminodioxime (H<Subscript>2</Subscript>L), a derivative of the monoterpenoid (+)-3-carene

Copper(II) compounds with the optically active diaminodioxime (H₂L) derived from the monoterpenoid (+)-3-carene, Cu(H₂L)(NO₃)₂ H₂O (I), Cu(H₂L)(ClO₄)₂ H₂O (II), Cu(H₂L)Br₂ H₂O (III), and Cu(H₂L)SO₄0.5H₂O (IV) with µ_eff equal to 1.81, 1.79, 1.71, and 1.8 µ_B, respectively, were prepared. Studies of the complexes by IR and EPR spectroscopy showed that I and II are mononuclear ionic complexes. Compound III apparently has polymeric structure (the CuN₄Br₂ coordination unit). According to EPR data, the Cu²⁺ ions in polycrystalline compounds III and IV undergo exchange interactions.Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 30, No. 12, 2004, pp. 897–900.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Larionov, Myachina, Sheludyakova, Boguslavskii, Tkachev, Bizyaev.     

Thermodynamic parameters for the molecular inclusion reaction of dulcin with beta-cyclodextrin. spectrofluorimetric determination of dulcin

The inclusion of dulcin in alpha- and beta-cyclodextrin has been studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. To quantitatively describe complex formation between the beta-cyclodextrin and dulcin, an association constant of 290 M(-1) at 21 degrees was obtained. The thermodynamics associated with the complex formation between dulcin and beta-cyclodextrin in aqueous solution has been studied. The obtained value of DeltaG(0) = -13.7 kJ/mole at 21 degrees , together with DeltaH(0) = -33.6 +/- 2.3 kJ/mole and DeltaS(0) = -67.2 +/-8.3 Jmole(-1) K(-1) indicate that dulcin has a very marked tendency to associate with beta-cyclodextrin in water. The inclusion complex of dulcin in beta-cyclodextrin has been used to determine dulein in the range 0.13-5 mug/ml the method has been applied to determine dulcin in soft drinks.

Vibrational spectra are reported for the new complexes CsF·3BrF₃, RbF·3BrF₃, and RbF·2BrF₃ and the previously known complex CsF·2BrF₃. The spectra suggest that these compounds are salts having general formulas M⁺Br₃F^?₁₀ and M⁺Br₂F^?₇.     

Determination of atrazine, desethyl atrazine and desisopropyl atrazine in environmental water samples using hollow fiber-protected liquid-phase microextraction and high performance liquid chromatography

A new method based on hollow fiber-protected liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) was developed for the simultaneous determination of atrazine, desethyl atrazine and desisopropyl atrazine in environmental water samples. In LPME, analytes were extracted into 1-octanol immobilized in the micropores of a poly(vinylidene fluoride) porous hollow fiber membrane, and back extracted into the acceptor (4 M HCl) filled in the lumen of the hollow fiber. After LPME, the analytes trapped in the acceptor were analyzed with high-performance liquid chromatography after neutralization. The effect of extraction factors such as sample pH, acceptor pH, salinity, extraction time, stirring rate, and humic acid were studied. Under the optimized conditions, the limits of detection and relative standard deviations were respectively in the range of 0.5–1.0 μg L⁻¹ and 3.9–4.7% (n = 5). The proposed method was applied to determine atrazine, desethyl atrazine and desisopropyl atrazine in wastewater and groundwater samples. The three analytes were below the limits of detection, but good relative spiked recoveries over 90.1 ± 5.9% at 5 μg L⁻¹ spiked level were obtained.     

Experimental and computational studies of intracomplex reactions in Mg+(primary, secondary alkylamine) complexes induced by photoexcitation of Mg+

We report herein a comprehensive study of photoinduced reactions in complexes of Mg+ with primary (n-propyl- and isopropylamine) and secondary amines (dipropyl- and diisopropylamine) in the spectral range of 230-440 nm. Similar to the methyl- and ethylamine complexes studied previously, N-H bond activation of these complexes is very unfavorable. Instead, the C(alpha)-C, C-N, and C(alpha)-H bond-cleavage photoproducts are observed after photoexcitation of the Mg+ complexes (3(2)P<--3(2)S). For Mg+(primary amine) complexes, for example, Mg+-NH2CH2CH2CH3, and Mg+-NH2CH(CH3)2, the photoproducts resulting from C(alpha)--C rupture prevail after P(z) and charge-transfer excitations, whereas the Mg+ photofragment is predominant upon P(x,y) excitation. However, with further N-alkyl substitution, as in Mg+(secondary amine) complexes, for example, Mg+-NH(CH2CH2CH3)2 and Mg+-NH[CH(CH3)2]2, a novel intracomplex C-C coupling photoreaction dominates on P(x,y) excitation of Mg+, which is believed to arise from Mg+* insertion into the C-N bond. With P(z) and charge-transfer excitation, the Mg-R elimination photoproducts, arising from C(alpha)-C bond cleavage, predominate. The energetics and possible mechanisms of the intracomplex photoreactions are analyzed in detail with the help of extensive quantum mechanics calculations.
