Structure of the products of the cyclization in acetic anhydride of β-(2-carboxy-5-chlorophenylamino) propionic acid and its nitrile

-(2-Carboxy-5-chlorophenylamino)propionic acid cyclizes in acetic anhydride to form 4-chloro-2-(2,4-dioxopiperidino)benzoic acid, which subsequently undergoes conversion into its lactone. Under the same conditions, -[acetyl(2-carboxy-5-chlorophenyl)amino]-propionitrile forms 7-chloro-1--cyanoethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-2,4-dione. The structures of the compounds obtained were confirmed by their IR, UV, and PMR spectra. An evaluation of the stability of the ketonic and enolic forms of the compounds obtained on the basis of calculations by Hückel's method has been made.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 7, pp. 879–884, July, 1970.

Photochemical reduction of organic electron acceptors in aqueous solutions

Conclusions The formation of OH radicals in the photoreduction of aqueous solutions of anthraquinonesulfonic acid as the result of electron transfer from water (OH^–) to a triplet molecule has been demonstrated.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2615–2617, November, 1969.
