Vibrational spectra and rotational isomerism of triallyl amine

The infrared spectra of triallyl amine in the vapour and liquid phases (as solutions in CS₂, CCl₄, CH₃Cl and CH₃CN), and in the solid state at low temperature were measured from 250 to 4000 cm⁻¹. The Raman spectrum of the liquid was recorded and qualitative depolarization measurements were made. It is shown that in the liquid and vapour phases the molecule exists as a mixture of at least two rotational isomers, while in the crystalline phase it assumes a single configuration having point-group symmetry C₃. A vibrational assignment for the observed bands in the infrared and Raman spectra is proposed on the basis of the C₃ point group symmetry for the more stable form of the molecule.     

o-Iodosobenzoate as an oxidimetric titrant

o-Iodosobenzoate has been used as a titrant at pH 7 with potassium iodide and starch as indicator, under Andrews' titration conditions with iodine monochloride as preoxidant, and in acid medium with potassium bromide and Methyl Red as indicator. Methods are described for the determination of tetrathionate (through disulphide cleavage by cysteine), hydrogen sulphite, thiosulphate, xanthates, cysteine and glutathione in certain combinations (involving masking of sulphite and thiols with acrylonitrile). Hexacyanoferrate(II) is determined in the presence of arsenic(III), antimony(III) and thallium(I). Sulphathiazole, sulphadiazine and sulphamerazine consume six equivalents of bromine per mole, but phthalation or diazotization of the aromatic amino group prevents disubstitution of bromine in the benzene ring. Chloramphenicol is determined by reduction of its aromatic nitro group to an amino group, followed by bromination. Rutin and vitamin C react with eight and two equivalents of bromine per mole respectively.     

Oxy-cope rearrangements of bicyclo[3.2.0]heptenones. Synthesis of bicyclo[4.2.1]non-1(4)-en-6-ones and bicyclo[5.2. 1]dec-1(10)-en-5-ones

6-exo-Methylbicyclo[3.2.0]hepten-7-ones and their 2-alkylidene analogues are readily prepared from dialkyl squarates. These compounds undergo facial oxy-Cope ring expansions upon treatment with vinyllithium; the former leads to bicyclo[4.2. 1]non-1(4)-en-6-ones and the latter to the first examples of bicyclo[5.2.1]dec-1(10)-en-5-ones, compounds having exceptionally strained bridgehead double bonds. The transformations are controlled by the 6-exo-methyl group in the starting material along with the substituent at position-1 (bridgehead) which force attack of the lithium reagent from the concave face of the starting material, thus allowing the cyclopentenyl or alkylidene groups to participate in the sigmatropic event.     

Determination of bromine in organic compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography

A method is proposed for the determination of bromine in organic compounds (which may also contain chlorine and iodine) by oxygen-flask combustion of the compound followed by pre-column reaction of bromide with acetanilide and 2-iodosobenzoic acid to form 4-bromoacetanilide which is then chromatographed on an ODS column with a mobile phase of methanol: water, 65:35 v/v, detection at 240 nm, and 4-N-acetylaminotoluene as internal standard. The method is rapid and precise (RSD 相似文献   

Determination of thiourea and its organic derivatives with iodine trichloride

Thiourea and its organic derivatives and thiosemicarbazide are determined in water, methanol or glacial acetic acid medium by reaction with an excess of iodine trichloride in the presence of mercuric chloride. The reaction is complete in 15 min. The excess of iodine trichloride is evaluated by adding potassium iodide and titrating the liberated iodine with thiosulphate. A variety of organic thioureas can be determined with an average accuracy and precision of 0.2%.

(C₆H₅)₃MX₂ (M = As, Sb; X = OCOCF₃ and M = Sb, Bi; X = SO₃F, SO₃CF₃) compounds prepared by the interaction of triphenylmetal(V) substrates with (CF₃CO)₂O, (CF₃SO₂)₂O and (FSO₂)₂O have been characterized by molecular weight determination, elemental and spectroscopic (IR, ¹H and ¹⁹F NMR, mass) analyses.     

Spectrophotometric determination of ascorbic acid in pharmaceuticals by background correction and flow injection

Background correction has been shown to be an effective and indispensable modification in the spectrophotometric determination of ascorbic acid. The decomposition of ascorbic acid in pharmaceutical samples was carried out by incubation with sodium hydroxide to give products that were insensitive to ultraviolet light. The rapid oxidation in air of ascorbic acid, especially in dilute solutions, was avoided by the use of the flow injection principle for spectrophotometric determination and by employing a carrier stream of an anti-oxidizing nature consisting of 6 micrograms ml(-1) of 2-mercaptoethanol in 0.25% sulphuric acid. The optimized method with a single channel manifold made use of a carrier stream flow rate of 1.1 ml min(-1), an injection volume of 50 microl, a delay coil of 50 cm (0.5 mm i.d.) and detection at 245 nm. The throughput was at least 180 injections h(-1). The proposed flow injection method yielded results for the analysis of 0-20 micrograms ml(-1) of ascorbic acid that were 99-102% (relative standard deviation 0.6% or better) in agreement with those produced by comparable methods involving titration with iodine, chloranil or 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol [4-(2,6-dichloro-4-hydroxyphenylimino)cyclohexa-2,5-dieno ne], and high-performance liquid chromatography. When the agreement was not good (as low as 14% with respect to the method being compared), this was traced to the presence of substances which are known to interfere in one or other of the methods of comparison.
