The synthesis of biphenylisopropyloxycarbonyl-amino acid salts

A number of biphenylisopropyloxycarbonyl-blocked amino acids have been synthesized as their cyclohexylamine or dicyclohexylamine salts, and their properties described. A facile method for regenerating the Bpoc-amino acids from their salts is detailed, along with the conditions used to determine that the syntheses are free of racemization.     

Potentiometric determination of tetraphenylborate ions with silver nitrate. Determination of silver, potassium and thallium(I)

Summary The potentiometric determination of tetraphenylborate with silver nitrate solution was investigated a) at i=0 in the presence of calomel reference electrode and silver resp. silicone rubber based halide-selective indicator electrodes and b) at i0 in the presence of silver (cathode)-calomel, silver-silver, silver-platinum, platinum-silver and graphite-silver electrode couples. An indirect method is described for the determination of potassium ions with potentiometric end-point indication. Experiments were also carried out in order to develop methods for the titration of silver, potassium and thallium(I) ions with sodium tetraphenylborate solution in the presence of anodic polarized graphite and calomel reference electrodes. The relative standard deviations were 0.38–0.49% for tetraphenylborate, 1.96% for potassium and 1.07% for thallium(I).

Analytical fractionation of aquatic humic substances and their metal species by means of multistage ultrafiltration

The molecular-size fractionation of aquatic humic substances (HS) and their metal species by means of a novel sequential-stage ultrafiltration (UF) device equipped with five appropriate ultramembranes (1, 5, 10, 50 and 100 kD) is described. First of all, the concentration dynamics of macromolecules, particulary HS, during five-stage UF and its subsequent washing step has been modelled. Based on these results, the fractionation of aquatic HS (from ground and bog water) by means of multistage UF has been optimized for an analytical scale (10 ml sample, 1 mg/ml HS, 10 ml washing solution, pH 6.0). The molecular size-distribution of selected aquatic HS (BOC 1/2 from the DFG-Versuchsfeld Bocholt, VM 5 from Venner Moor, Germany) studied by five-stage UF exhibited strong systematic influences of the procedure used for their isolation. The molecular-size distribution of HS obtained by on-line UF and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) showed a satisfactory agreement in the range 1–50 kD. Moreover, when interrupting multistage UF for > 48 h a slow transformation in the HS samples has been found as gradually additional HS fractions of < 1 kD have been formed. Besides unloaded HS molecules, the molecular-size distribution of freshly formed metal species of HS (1.0 mg metal/g HS of Al(III), Cd(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), each) has been characterized by multistage UF as a function of pH-value, degree of loading and complexation time. Metal determinations as carried out by flame AAS, showed that considerable metal fractions in HS especially are present in molecules > 50 kD, which seemed to be rather acid-inert. With complexation times of < 2 days a transient shift of the molecular size distribution of both HS and their metal species (e.g., Al(III), Fe(III) to higher values (> 10 kD) has been found.     

Structure of ursinoic acid and ursinin

Conclusions On the basis of UV, IR, and NMR spectroscopy, and the preparation of derivatives, the most probable structures of ursinoic acid and ursinin, aromatic oxo acids isolated previously from the roots ofAngelica ursina Rupr. et Schmalh., have been established. It has been shown that the former has the structure 2,2-dimethylpyrano-5, 6:5, 6-(2, 4-dimethoxy)benzoylacetic acid while the second is 2,2-dimethylpyrano-5,6:5, 6-(2-methoxy)benzoylacetic acid.Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 4, pp. 421–424, 1970     

Polarographic study of the reaction between cerium(IV) and thiocyanate

Summary Polarographic studies have been made of the reaction between Cerium(IV) and potassium thiocyanate in acidic medium. Ce^IVin the concentration range 2 · 10^–4 M to 5 · 10^–3 M was found to be reduced to Ce^III by thiocyanate ion. One equivalent of thiocyanate reduced 4–6 equivalents of Ce^IV in the concentration range studied.

STUDIES ON cis-trans-ISOMERIZATION AND REACTION KINETICS OF A μ, η~2-VINYL LIGAND IN A TRIOSMIUM CLUSTER

The dihydride cluster H_2O_(s_3)(CO)_(10) reacts with ethyne to give a cis-adduct [O_(s_3)H(μ,η~2-CH=CH_2)(CO)_(10)]. The high deuterated cluster D_2O_(s_3)(CO)_(10), the reaction of D_2O_(s_3)(CO)_(10)with ethyne C_2H_2 to form the vinyl product cluster [O_(s_3)D(μ, η~2-CH=CHD)(CO)_(10)], and thereaction of H_2O_(s_3)(CO)_(10) with the deuterated ethyne C_2D_2 to form [O_(s_3)H(μ,η~2-CD=CDH)(CO)_(10)] have been reported primarily in this paper. The two cis-adducts undergo cis-trans-isomerization of μ,η~2-vinyl ligands under a small amount of the nucleophile pyridine. Usingthe combination of deuteration and dynamic ~1H,~2H NMR spectra, we report the experimen-tal evidence determined by the dynamic ~1H, ~2H NMR spectra, mechanism, and kinetic dataof the isomerization.

The method is used to prepare four compounds of the type stated, only one of which (R=R=R"=H) was previously known.For Part X see [1].     

Amperometry with two polarizable electrodes. XVI

Summary Conditions for the magnesium determination in alkaline solution by EDTA titration with biamperometric indication were examined. The most preferable pH range was found to be above 9.6. A reliable determination can be carried out in the presence of Ca, Ni, Cu and Co up to the ratio of 11. In the case of higher concentrations of Cu and Ni masking with potassium cyanide can be used. In this case, however, a change of the titration curves occurs.A new method for the determination of water-hardness by biamperometric indication is proposed. It is rapid and accurate and meets the requirements of routine and research work (error: ±1%).

Zusammenfassung Die Bedingungen für die Magnesiumbestimmung in alkalischer Lösung durch Titration mit ÄDTA bei biamperometrischer Endpunktsanzeige wurden untersucht. Der günstigste pH-Bereich liegt über 9,6. Zuverlässige Bestimmungen können in Gegenwart von Ca, Ni, Cu und Co bis zum Verhältnis 11 ausgeführt werden. Höhere Konzentrationen an Cu oder Ni können mit KCN maskiert werden, wobei allerdings eine Umkehrung der Kurven auftritt.Ein Verfahren zur Wasserhärtebestimmung mit biamperometrischer Indikation wird vorgeschlagen, das schnell durchzuführen ist und genaue Werte liefert (Fehler ±1%).
