Polarized β emitters for NMR probes

The physical principles of atomic and nuclear polarization by the tilted-foil interaction as applied to the production of polarized emitters for NMR probes are discussed.     

Optical bistability produced by resonant Joule's heating of semiconductors

The thermal hysteresis of Joule's absorption of infrared radiation in then-type semiconductor magnetoplasma is analysed. Such bistability is connected with the temperature dependence of the relaxation time of free electrons, their density being constant. The resonant Joule's absorption bistability of the pumping infrared wave near a Langmuir resonance of free electrons is discussed as well as the hysteresis cross-modulation of an infrared probing wave by means of a pumping microwave. The possibilities of smooth detuning of the hysteresis regime due to a magnetic-field control and low energy thresholds of these regimes are illustrated for InSb thin films in relatively weak magnetic fieldsH1–2 kG.

Chemistry of 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethane. 11. Synthesis and stereochemical characteristics of 3-methyl-5-oxo-2′-amino-5′-phenyl -3′,4′,4′-tricyanoisoxazoline-4-spiro-1′-cyclopent-2′-ene

The Michael condensation of 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethane with 3-methyl-4-benzylideneisoxazolin-5-one having the Z configuration leads to a heterocyclic spiran with retention of the cis orientation of the phenyl and keto groups. The deviations of the series of bond angles of the spiran from the standard values, the abnormal lengths of the C-C bonds adjacent to the gem-dicyano group, and the appearance of nonbonding >C=O(...)CN interactions and conjugation effects in the enaminonitrile fragment are discussed.For Communication 10, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1404–1410, October, 1988.     

N-allylation and N-benzylation of 2-phenylindole and its condensation with carbonyl compounds

By allylation and benzylation of 2-phenyl- and 2-phenyl-3-formylindole, N-allyl- and benzyl-substituted indoles have been obtained. By condensation of 2-phenylindole with 2-formylfluorene, and also with 4-aza- or 3-methyl-2-azafluorenone, compounds containing fragments of the indole, fluorene, and azafluorenone systems have been synthesized. In the interaction of 2-phenylindole or indole with formaldehyde and 2,5-dimethylpiperidin-4-one, depending on the temperature, bis(2-phenylindol-3-yl)methane, (2,5-dimethyl-4-oxopiperidino)-(1-indolyl)methane, and bis(indol-3-yl)methane are formed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 29, No. 5, pp. 648–650, May, 1993.     

Research in the field of furopyridines. 2. Synthesis and steric structure of 6-methyl-1-hetarylidene-3,4-dioxo[3,4-c]pyridines

By condensation of 6-methyl-3,4-dioxo-1H-furo[3,4-c]pyridine with heteroaromatic aldehydes, furfurylidene- and thenylidenefuropyridinediones have been obtained. By means of ¹H NMR spectrometry using the nuclear Overhauser effect, it has been established that these compounds have the cis-s-cis and cis-s-trans conformations, respectively.For Communication 1, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 29, No. 5, pp. 633–638, May, 1993.     

Alizarin Red S. as a general optical reporter for studying the binding of boronic acids with carbohydrates

Alizarin Red S. displays a dramatic change in fluorescence intensity and color in response to the binding of a boronic acid and can be used as a general reporter for studying carbohydrate-boronic acid interactions, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
