Hydroxybromierung und Methoxybromierung von (Z)-Cycloocten

In addition totrans-2-bromocyclooctanol andtrans-1,2-dibromocyclooctane,cis-4-bromocyclooctanol,cis-1,4-dibromocyclooctane,trans-1,4-dibromocyclooctane, and (Z)-5-bromocyclooctene are obtained, when (Z)-cyclooctene is treated with N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of water. Similarly the methoxybromination of (Z)-cyclooctene gives transanular products.     

Zur reaktionsweise von triafulvenen mit azomethinyliden

The reaction of the azomethine ylides 2a–c with cyclopropenones 3 and of 2a with methylene cyclopropenes 7 leads via (3+3)-cycloaddition to pyridones-4 5 and 1,4 - dihydro - N - methyl - 4 - methylene - pyridines 8, respectively. The merocyanine systems 8 exhibit marked solvatochromic and thermochromic properties.     

Transition metal nitrosyls as nitrosylation agents : II.Photo-nitrosylation of η5-C5H5V(CO)3L(L = CO,Pz3) by [Co(NO)2Br]2

η⁵-C₅H₅V(NO)₂CO is prepared in 40% yield by the photo-reaction between η⁵-C₅H₅V(CO)₄ and [Co(NO)₂Br]₂.η⁵-C₅H₅V(NO)₂CO reacts by an S_N1 mechanism with various phosphines PZ₃ to yield η⁵-C₅-H₅V(NO)₂PZ₃. The phosphine complexes are also obtained by photo-induced ligand interchange between η⁵-C₅H₅V(CO)₃PZ₃ and [Co(NO)₂Br]₂, or η⁵-C₅H₅V(CO)₄ and Co(NO)₂Br(PZ₃). In all cases, the main cobalt species formed is Co(NO)(CO)₃. While the one-bond vanadiumphosphorus coupling constants of most of the phosphine complexes are virtually the same (ca 410 Hz),the chemical shift values δ(⁵¹V) (?1328 to ?973 ppm rel. VOCl₃) decrease in the order PF₃ > CO > P(OR)₃ > P(alkyl)₃ > PPh₃ > PPh(NEt₂)₂, reflecting the decreasing π-acceptor ability of the ligands. δ(⁵¹V) also decreases in the series of alkylphosphines PR₃ (R = Me, Et, Prⁿ, Buⁱ, Prⁱ, BU^t) as the cone angle of PR₃increases.     

Vibrational and lifetime line broadenings in ESCA

The line profile of the narrow, symmetric 1s line from neon, recorded with the new ESCA instrument with X-ray monochromatization, is analyzed. The natural linewidth of this line is found to be 0.23 ± 0.02 eV, in good agreement with theoretical calculations of the oscillator strengths for Auger transitions and X-ray emission. Spectra from molecules show frequently asymmetric core electron lines under high resolution. This rules out previous explanations based on a chemical influence on the natural lifetime. Contrary to earlier assumptions, vibrational excitations are shown to be important in core electron spectra. For methane, the vibrational energy spacing is large enough to allow the vibrational lines to be partly resolved. Recent results from accurate PNO CI calculations on methane agree well with the experimental findings. The Franck-Condon transitions in the C1s and N1s lines from CO and N₂ are shown to be well described in the harmonic approximation and approximating the potential curves of the highly excited core hole states with the potential curve for the ground state of NO⁺, X¹ Σ⁺. Knowledge of vibrational excitations in core electron spectra is shown to be valuable in the analysis of high resolution X-ray emission spectra of free molecules.     

Darstellung und Struktur von Pyrazolyl-Kationen mit Polymethin- und Methan-Gerüst

The 4-pyrazoline-3-one1 reacts with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde to yield the stable asymmetric cyanine dye2b which reacts with1 to give the colorless (aryl) (dipyrazolyl) methane3b. Using aldehydes with less cationstabilizing groups the polymethines2 are not isolated but only the methanes3. The structures of2b and3 are discussed by¹ H,¹³C and Hetero NMR spectra.     

Decarboxylierung cyclischer und acyclischer dicarboxylato-komplexe des platins

The interaction of (Ph₃P)₂PtO₂ (I) with the dicarboxylic acids HO₂C(CH₂)_nCO₂H (n = 1–3), phthalic acid and maleic acid gives the dicarboxylato complexes (Ph₃P)₂$\text{PtO(O)C(CH}{}_2\text{)}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>n</mtext>}}\text{C(O)O}$ (II) (n = 1–3), (Ph₃P)₂$\text{PtO(O)CC}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{C(O)O}$ (III) and cis-[(Ph₃P)₂Pt(O(O)CCHCHC(O)OH)₂] (IV) in nearly quantitative yield. Thermal and photoinduced decarboxylation of III and IV yields the platina heterocycles (Ph₃P)₂$\text{PtC}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{C(O)O}$ (V) and (Ph₃P)₂$\text{PtCHCHC(O)O}$ (VI) with a carbon-platinum σ-bond. Complex VI has been characterized by an X-ray crystal structure determination.     

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.     

Mechanisms for the solvolytic decompositions of nucleoside analogues—I: Acidic hydrolysis of 2-substituted 1-(1-ethoxyethyl)benzimidazoles

A few 2-substituted 1-(1-ethoxyethyl)benzimidazoles have been prepared and the rate constants for their hydrolysis measured at various temperatures and oxonium ion concentrations. The formal kinetics followed and the effect of varying the 2-substitution on the hydrolysis rate suggest that the acid-catalyzed cleavage of these compounds involves a rapid initial protonation of the benzimidazole ring and a subsequent rate-limiting heterolysis of the protonated substrate to form a free nitrogen base and an ocarbenium ion derived from the ethoxyethyl group. The values obtained for the entropy of activation are consistent with the assumed unimolecular nature of the rate-limiting step. The effects of 2-substituents on the acidities of the protonated substrates and their heterolysis rates have been compared. The latter partial reaction has been suggested to be the subject of steric acceleration.     

Influence of Jahn-Teller coupling on the magnetic properties of transition metal complexes with orbital triplet ground terms: magnetization and electronic Raman studies of the titanium(III) hexa-aqua cation

Magnetization and electronic Raman data are presented for salts of the type Cs[Ga:Ti](SO(4))(2) x 12H(2)O, which enable a very precise definition of the electronic structure of the [Ti(OH(2))(6)](3+) cation. The magnetization data exhibit a spectacular deviation from Brillouin behavior, with the magnetic moment highly dependent on the strength of the applied field at a given ratio of B/T. This arises from unprecedented higher-order contributions to the magnetization, and these measurements afford the determination of the ground-state Zeeman coefficients to third-order. The anomalous magnetic behavior is a manifestation of Jahn-Teller coupling, giving rise to low-lying vibronic states, which mix into the ground state through the magnetic field. Electronic Raman measurements of the 1%-titanium(III)-doped sample identify the first vibronic excitation at approximately 18 cm(-1), which betokens a substantial quenching of spin-orbit coupling by the vibronic interaction. The ground-state Zeeman coefficients are strongly dependent on the concentration of titanium(III) in the crystals, and this can be modeled as a function of one parameter, representing the degree of strain induced by the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect. This study clearly demonstrates the importance that the Jahn-Teller effect can have in governing the magnetic properties of transition metal complexes with orbital triplet ground terms.
