Continuous Selective Heating of the Dispersion Medium in a Unit Constituted by Heater and Mass-Exchange Apparatus

A new method for heat exchange between dispersed flows and a unit for continuous selective heating, comprising a heater and a mass-exchange apparatus, was proposed. A mathematical model of the unit was developed for the cases of direct-flow and counterflow heaters. Analytical solutions to the model equations were obtained. The parameters affecting the result of continuous selective heating of the dispersion medium in the unit were determined.     

Synthesis and stereochemistry of (−)-(10s)-6,10-dimethyl-6-aza-δ1,9-octahydroquinoline

Enantiomericalfy pure (–)-(10S)-6,10-dimethyl-6-am-^1,9-octahydroquinoline, which has been obtained from optically pure (3S)-1,3-dimethyl-3-(2-cyanoethyl)piperid-4-one, is a chiral intermediate for the preparation of novel biologically active compounds and an analog of piperidine and decahydroquinoline alkaloids. The chiroptical properties of the synthesized 6-azaoctahydroquinoline are examined.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1379–1383, October, 1992.     

1H and 13C NMR spectra,isomers, and imine-enamine tautomers of N-(1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidylidene)aniline

The product of condensing 1,2,5-trimethylpiperidin-4-one with aniline has been investigated by NMR spectroscopy. Three isomers of N-(1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidylidene)aniline have been identified differing in the configuration of the methyl groups at C₂ and C₅ of the piperidine ring and the Z,E isomerism about the C=N bond. Traces of the enamine tautomeric form of the imine were also detected. , , and spin-spin couplings were used to determine the structural configuration of the isomers.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1405–1408, October, 1989.     

Benzoxazolinones. II. Synthesis of 3-vinylbenzoxazolinones and 3-vinylbenzoxazolinethione

A method has been developed for obtaining 3-vinylbenzoxazolinones and 3-vinylbenzoxazolinethione. It has been shown that it is also possible to obtain 3-methylbenzoxazolinethione by this method in good yield (76%).     

Stabilization of oxygen evolution and primary electron transport reactions in photosystem II against heat stress with glycinebetaine and sucrose

The protective action of co-solutes, such as sucrose and glycinebetaine, against the thermal inactivation of photosystem II function was studied in untreated and Mn-depleted photosystem II preparations. It was shown that, in addition to the reactions that depend on the oxygen evolving activity of the photosystem, those that implicate more intimately the reaction center itself are protected by high concentrations of osmolytes. However, the temperature required to inhibit oxygen evolution totally in the presence of osmolytes is lower than that required to eliminate reactions, such as P680 (primary electron donor in photosystem II) photo-oxidation and pheophytin photo reduetion, which only involve charge separation and primary electron transport processes. The energy storage measured from the thermal dissipation yield during photoacoustic experiments and the yield of variable fluorescence are also protected to a significant degree (up to 30%) at temperatures at which oxygen evolution is totally inhibited. It is suggested that a cyclic electron transport reaction around photosystem II may be preserved under these conditions and may be responsible for the energy storage measured at relatively high temperatures. This interpretation is also supported by thermoluminescence data involving the recombination between reduced electron acceptors and oxidized electron donors at - 30 and - 55 °C. The data also imply that a high concentration of osmolyte allows the stabilization of the photosystem core complex together with the oxygen-evolving complex. The stabilization effect is understood in terms of the minimization of protein-water interactions as proposed by the theory of Arakawa and Timasheff (Biophys. J., 47 (1985) 411--414).     

Synthesis of azetidin-3-ones. Structure of N-tosyl-2-ethylazetidin-3-one

A one-step synthesis of azetidin-3-ones by intramolecular cyclization of 1-diazo-3-arenesulfamoylalkan-2-ones was developed. The yield of cyclic product increases to 70% in the presence of an alkyl or benzyl substituent in the hydrocarbon chain of the diazoketone. The structure of N-tosyl-2-ethylazetidin-3-one was studied by x-ray diffraction analysis and it was shown that the four-membered ring has 15 inflection.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 468–473, April, 1987.     

Structure and reactivity of 3- and 4-[(4′-chlorophenyl)sulfamoyl]-1-diazoalkan-2-ones

Conclusions Under the conditions of the acidic cyclization reaction of homologous 3- and 4-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfamoyl]-1-diazoalkan-2-ones, the formation of the five-membered heterocycle, a pyrrolidin-3-one derivative, is more convenient than the formation of the four-membered heterocycle- an azetidin-3-one derivative. These results are in agreement with the differences in conformations of diazoalkane molecules in the crystalline state.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 134–138, January, 1986.
