Colorimetric method for the determination of captafol (difolatan) in commercial formulations and residues on grains and apples.

A simple and rapid colorimetric method for the microdetermination of captafol (difolatan), based on its reaction with a dithiocarbamate, has been developed. The bright yellow colour which develops instantaneously on mixing the fungicide with the reagent is stable for at least 12 h. The method has been successfully adapted to the determination of captafol in its formulated products and residues on grains and apples.

Using the diphosphanyl radical as a potential spin label: effect of motion on the EPR spectrum of an R1(R2)P--PR1 radical

The EPR spectrum of the novel radical Mes*(CH3)P--PMes* (Mes*=2,4,6-(tBu)3C6H2) was measured in the temperature range 100-300 K, and was found to be drastically temperature dependent as a result of the large anisotropy of the 31P hyperfine tensors. Below 180 K, a spectrum of the liquid solution is accurately simulated by calculating the spectral modifications due to slow tumbling of the radical. To achieve this simulation, an algorithm was developed by extending the well-known nitroxide slow-motion simulation technique for the coupling of one electron spin to two nuclear spins. An additional dynamic process responsible for the observed line broadening was found to occur between 180 K and room temperature; this broadening is consistent with an exchange between two conformations. The differences between the isotropic 31P couplings associated with the two conformers are shown to be probably due to an internal rotation about the P--P bond.     

An innovative synthesis of dibenzofurans through a carbanion-induced ring transformation reaction

An innovative route for the synthesis of substituted dibenzofurans has been delineated through a ring transformation reaction of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones by reaction with 7-methoxybenzofuran-3-one, in high yield. The novelty of the procedure lies in the creation of an aromatic ring from a 2H-pyran-2-one involving the -COCH₂-moiety of the substrate.     

Ag-mediated synthesis of six-membered N-heterocycles

Abstract

One of the highly emerging and an important aspect of organic chemistry is the metal catalyzed synthesis of heterocycles. The methods used earlier for the synthesis of heterocycles were significant in the organic synthesis and developing cost-effective, improved and facial methods were beneficial to construct the complex architectures. For the both stereoselective and regioselective synthesis of six-membered nitrogen containing heterocycles, cyclic reactions that are Ag-mediated have known to be very efficient. The present review covers the applications of Ag in the formation of six-membered nitrogen containing heterocycles.     

Analysis of certain mixtures ofα-Amino acids

Summary -Amino acids are determined by reaction with perinaphthindan-2,3,4-trione hydrate to form dihydroxyperinaphthindenone which is titrated with chloramine-T in the presence of acidified bromide and methyl red. The thiol group of cysteine is blocked by cyano-ethylation before determination. Some amino acids can be directly titrated with chloramine-T in the presence of bromide and methyl red, e. g., cysteine (after cyanoethylation), methionine and lanthionine, or in the presence of iodide and starch, e. g., cysteine (after tetrathionate reaction) when concomitant amino acids do not interfere. These methods are used to analyze model mixtures of cysteine with serine, methionine with glycine and cysteine with methionine.

Analyse bestimmter Gemische von -Aminosäuren

Zusammenfassung -Aminosäuren werden mit Peri-Naphthindan-2,3,4-trion-hydrat umgesetzt, wobei sich Dihydroxyperinaphthindenon bildet, das mit Chloramin T in der Gegenwart von angesäuertem Bromid und Methylrot titriert wird. Die Thiolgruppe des Cysteins wird vor der Bestimmung durch Cyanoäthylierung blockiert. Manche Aminosäuren können unmittelbar mit Chloramin T in der Gegenwart von Bromid und Methylrot titriert werden, z. B. Cystein (nach Cyanoäthylierung), Methionin und Lanthionin, oder in Gegenwart von Jodid und Stärke Cystein (nach Umsetzung mit Tetrathionat), wenn die begleitende Aminosäure nicht stört. Diese Verfahren wurden benutzt, um Modellgemische von Cystein mit Serin, Methionin mit Glycin und Cystein mit Methionin zu analysieren.

     

Alkalimetric determination of mercaptans through trithiocarbonic acid formation

A simple and rapid alkalimetric method for the determination of mercaptans through trithiocarbonic acid formation is described. The mercaptans are titrated in tert.-butanol in the presence of carbon disulphide with standard aqueous sodium hydroxide, with phenolphthalein as indicator. The -SH group is smoothly, rapidly and quantitatively transformed into the group under the specified conditions. The method has been extended to the analysis of mercaptan-carboxylic acid and mercaptan-trithiocarbonate mixtures.
