2,3-Diphenylthiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinium salts

The corresponding 2,3-diphenyl[3,2-a]pyrimidinium salts were obtained by the condensation of 4,5-diphenyl-2-aminothiazole perchlorate with -diketones, -chlorovinyl ketones, -chlorovinyl aldehydes, and 1,1,3,3-tetraethoxypropane. The PMR spectra were used to prove the structures of the compounds obtained, particularly to select the structures of the isomeric salts obtained in the condensation with unsymmetrical -diketones, -chlorovinyl ketones, and -chlorovinyl aldehydes. As a rule, the latter give one isomer — the -unsubstituted (relative to the bridge nitrogen atom) derivative.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 629–631, May, 1972.     

Preparation and characterization of dealuminated metakaolin and its use in the transformation of waste plastics to aromatic hydrocarbons

Acid activated metakaolins (AAMKs) have been prepared by calcination of the natural clay at 600 degrees C to provide a metakolin which was then leached at 80 degrees C for 3 h using 1M, 2M, 3M, and 6M HCl. These materials were characterized and their ability to transform the off gases from HDPE decomposition into useful aromatic species was evaluated. The amount of adsorbed water and the number of acid sites increased with the severity of acid treatment. Variable temperature DRIFTS spectroscopy of pyridine treated samples revealed that both Br?nsted and Lewis acid centers were present until 425 degrees C. Pyridine bonded to the Lewis acid centers was more thermally stable. The AAMKs were all selective to the production of toluene with respectable, but lesser, amounts of xylenes and trimethylbenzenes. This selectivity contrasts with that of acid leached and pillared smectites which are selective toward trimethylbenzene.     

Catalytic properties of iron tetracarbonyl π-complexes of vinylsilanes in the addition of polyhalomethanes and hydrosilanes to vinylsilanes

Conclusions The high catalytic activity of (CH₂=CHSiR₃)·Fe(CO)₄ complexes was demonstrated in the reaction of vinylsilanes with polyhalomethanes and hydrosilanes.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 914–920, April, 1982.     

Untersuchungen an Systemen aus Salzen und gemischten Lösungsmitteln. VI. Das Verhalten des reziproken Salzpaares Na2SO4 + 2 KCl ⇌ K2SO4+2 NaCl in Methanol-Wasser-Mischungen

The solubility isotherms of the system Na₂SO₄? K₂SO₄? CH₃OH? H₂O at 25,40 and 55°C and the solubilities in the system of the metathetic salt reaction Na₂SO₄+ + 2KCl ? K₂SO₄ + 2NaCl in methanol-water mixtures at 10 and 25°C have been determined and the nature of the solid phases established. The addition of methanol causes an enlargement of the sulphatic existence fields. A flow sheet for the industrial application of the results is communicated.     

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.     

Peculiar features of application of pH gradients formed in borate buffer with a polyhydroxy compound for separation of proteins in a free-flow electrophoretic apparatus

The use of pH gradients in borate buffer with a polyhydroxy compound for separation of proteins in a free-flow electrophoretic apparatus is outlined. The composition of the pH gradients, the free-flow apparatus design and its operation, and the main causes of failures in the protein separation are considered.
