The collection and determination of atmospheric gaseous bromine and iodine

A procedure has been developed which allows for the isolation, collection and analysis of atmospheric gaseous iodine and bromine. Particulate matter is removed from the airstream to be sampled by electrostatic precipitation. The gaseous halogen species are adsorbed onto specially cleaned activated charcoal. After irradiation of the charcoal sample with thermal neutrons, the iodine and bromine are removed from the charcoal, isolated, and purified as the AgX precipitate. The amounts of gaseous iodine and bromine are then determined by β-counting. The system works well for air sheds with low particulate iodine and bromine concentrations relative to that in the gaseous phase. In air sheds where the particulate halogen predominates, the gas phase measurements are more uncertain.

Acetals of lactams and acid amides. 35. Synthesis of condensed two- and three-ring pyridine systems on the basis of enamino amides

The synthesis of 2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyrid-6-one was accomplished by rearrangement of 8H,1-cyano-8-dimethylaminomethylene-2,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[1, 2-c]pyrimidine. Pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyrimidine, 1,6-naphthyridine, and pyrimido[4,3-b]-azepine derivatives were synthesized on the basis of enamino dinitriles. The hydrolysis of 8H,1-cyano-8-dimethylaminomethylene-2,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-c]-pyrimidine in 50% CH₃COOH leads to a pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine derivative. A similar dipyrido[4,3-d-1,2-c]pyrimidine derivative was obtained from 1-cyano-9-dimethylaminomethylene-2,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine under these conditions, and 3,4-dioxo-3,4,7,8,9,10-hexahydropyrido[1,2-c]pyrano[4,3-d]-pyrimidine was synthesized bytreatment with a 1 N solution of HCl.See [1] for Communication 34.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 518–522, April, 1982.
