Zur Synthese von Derivaten des Pyrido[1,2-a]azepins

On the Synthesis of Derivatives of Pyrido[1,2-a]lazepine The conjugated pyridinium ylides of type 4 undergo 8π -electrocyclisation affording the heterobicyclic allenes 5 which, in the presence of H₂O and H₂O₂, are subsequently transformed into the substituted pyrido[1,2-a]-azepinones 6, a novel heterocyclic system. The chemical behaviour of 6a,b is dominated by cleavage of the lactam bond and subsequent reaction to pyridinc and isoquinoline derivatives, respectively; e.g. reaction of 6a, b with 4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione affords the cycloadducts 11 and 12 almost quantitatively. The successful transformation of 6b into 15 is described, the latter being the first representative of the presently unknown, potentially antiaromatic pyrido[1,2-a]azepine ( 1 ).     

Microwave investigation of the CO-CH4 van der Waals complex

Rotational spectra of eight isotopomers of the weakly bound van der Waals complex CO-CH4 were recorded in the frequency range from 4 to 19 GHz using a pulsed molecular beam Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. For the isotopomers containing methane monomers of Td symmetry, namely, 12C16O-12CH4, 12C16O-13CH4, 12C16O-12CD4, 13C16O-12CH4, and 13C18O-12CH4, three rotational progressions were observed that correlate to the jm=0, 1, and 2 rotational levels of free methane. For those containing partially deuterated methane monomers with C3V symmetry, namely, 12C16O-12CH3D and 12C16O-12CHD3, only two progressions were recorded, correlating to the jk=0(0) and 1(1) rotational levels of free CH3D and CHD3, respectively. The van der Waals bond distance R, intermolecular stretching frequency nus, and the corresponding stretching force constant ks were derived from the obtained spectroscopic results. The results obtained for the jm=0 ground state are compared to the previous infrared and millimeter wave data. A 17O nuclear quadrupole coupling constant was determined from the resolved hyperfine structure of 13C17O-12CH4 and was used to obtain angular information about the carbon monoxide subunit. A Coriolis interaction was deduced from the irregular spectral pattern involving levels with jm=1. Qualitative information about the extent of the perturbation was obtained from a comparison of spectroscopic constants of different isotopomers.     

Alkaloids from marine organisms. Part 8: Isolation of bisdemethylaaptamine and bisdemethylaaptamine-9-O-sulfate from an Indonesian Aaptos sp. marine sponge

Bisdemethylaaptamine (6), a proposed biosynthetic precursor of the aaptamines has been isolated from an Aaptos sp. marine sponge harvested off the Indonesian coast, and its identity confirmed by comparison of its spectral data with that of synthetic material. Bisdemethylaaptamine-9-O-sulfate (7) was also isolated from the same source. This is the first report of a sulfated aaptamine.     

Investigations of reactions involved in flameless atomic absorption procedures : Part IV. A theoretical study of factors influencing the determination of aluminium

High-temperature equilibrium calculations are used to study potential interferences in the determination of aluminium by flameless a.a.s. The conditions for the formation of interfering aluminium compounds like AlO(g), Al₂O(g), Al₂O₃(s), AlOH(g), AlH(g), AlHO₂(g), AlS(g), AlN(g), AlN(s) and AlCl(g) have been calculated. The influence of kinetic parameters on the equilibrium calculations for the reactions involving carbon—oxygen and carbon—sulphur has been established by varying the input amount of carbon. The results indicate that even in the nanomole range the presence of elements like H, O, N, Cl and S may cause severe interferences during the atomization step (2300–2900 K)     

Structural Consequences of S → Se Substitution in some Symmetrical [M(S2CNR2)3] Complexes

The consequences of replacement of the symmetrically chelate ligands in [M(E₂CNR₂)₃] (E = S, Se) complexes of potential 32 symmetry by analogous mixed S,Se unsymmetrical chelates are explored for both small (M = Co) and large (M = In) metal atoms, and R = primary (Et) and secondary (ⁱPr) alkyl substituents by way of low‐temperature single crystal X‐ray studies of [(Co(SSeCNEt₂)₃] ([Co(Se₂CNEt₂)₃] also determined as datum), and [In(SSeCNR₂)₃], R = Et, ⁱPr. The structure of [(ⁱPr₂N·CS·Se)₂] is also recorded.     

Synthese und Charakterisierung funktionalisierter β‐Hydroxydithiozimtsäuren und deren Ester. Komplexchemisches Verhalten gegenüber Nickel(II), Palladium(II) und Platin(II)

Synthesis and Analytical Characterization of Functionalized β‐Hydroxydithiocinnamic Acids and their Esters. Complex Chemistry towards Nickel(II), Palladium(II), and Platin(II) Starting from silyl‐protected 4‐hydroxy acetophenone ( 1 ) the 1,1‐ethenedihiolato complexes 3 – 5 were synthesised using carbon disulfide and potassium‐tert‐butylate as a base. After being deprotected, the resulting 4‐hydroxy‐substituted complexes 6 – 8 were esterified with DL‐α‐lipoic acid to obtain the compounds 9 – 11 . The resulting complexes were characterized using NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy. 3‐substituted β‐hydroxydithiocinnamic acid methyl ester ( 12 ) was obtained via an analogous path of reaction using silyl‐protected 3‐hydroxy acetophenone ( 2 ), carbon disulfide and methyl iodide. After removing of the silyl group the resulting hydroxy group was esterified with DL‐α‐lipoic acid. Using the dithioacid ester 14 as a ligand the Ni^II ( 15 ), Pd^II ( 16 ) and Pt^II ( 17 ) [O,S] complexes were obtained.     

Investigations of reactions involved in electro-thermal atomic absorption procedures : Part 8. A theoretical and experimental study of factors influencing the determination of phosphorus

Ideal conditions for the determination of phosphorus by graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry are investigated by the use of high-temperature equilibrium calculations. All reasonable reaction products resulting from the reaction between P, C, O, H, N, Ca and Ar are considered. The calculations show that phosphorus forms the volatile monoxide and dioxide molecules below 1800 K (P_o2? 10^-13 atm.). At higher temperatures the relative amount of atomic phosphorus is mainly controlled by the equilibrium between monatomic and diatomic phosphorus. The significance of the theoretical ' study was investigated experimentally. The relative amounts of P₂ and PO were monitored by molecular absorption using vaporization under isothermal conditions; the interfering effects of Ca, N₂, H₂, and O₂ on the atomic absorption signal for phosphorus were also studied. The sensitivity was greatly dependent on graphite tube conditions as well as the heating rate of the furnace. For CaHPO₄ the sensitivity for phosphorus was 4.5 × lO^-8 g. If samples were introduced into a preheated tube, this value was improved to 2 × 10^-9 g.     

Pfropfcopolymerisation von Cellulose mit zwei Vinylmonomeren

Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine Beschreibung von Experimenten dar, die die Erhöhung der Pfropfbereitschaft von trägen Komponenten durch Beimischung von aktiveren zum Ziele hatten.Das Trägermolekül war in allen Fällen Cellulose in Form von hochgradig gereinigtem Zellstoff. Durch die Verwendung von Mischsystemen aus Styrol und Methylmethacrylat gelang es, das trägere Styrol in bedeutend größerer Menge auf die Cellulose aufzupfropfen, als es bei Abwesenheit des aktiven Methylmethacrylats der Fall war.

Grafting Polymerization of Cellulose with Two Vinyl Monomers

This paper describes experiments to increase the grafting of cellulose with components of poor reactivity by mixing them with highly reactive ones. A highly purified wood pulp was used as backbone. Using combinations of styrene and methyl methacrylate it was possible to graft considerably higher amounts of the poorly reacting styrene than in the absence of the highly reactive methyl methacrylate.

Fabrication of magnetically separable mesostructured silica with an open pore system

Magnetically separable mesostructured silica with an unobstructed pore system was fabricated through the deposition of cobalt nanoparticles on the outer surface of the submicron-sized silica particles. These cobalt nanoparticles were further protected by a nanometer-thick carbon shell against acid erosion. Due to the fact that the magnetic particles are grafted on the outer surface of the porous silica, the pores are still accessible for further modification, which could widen the application range of porous silica.
