Reaction of hydroxylamine with 5-aminooxazoles. A new route to isoxazoles

The nucleophilic attack of hydroxylamine at the 5 position of 2-aryl-4-trifluoroacetyl-5-amino-oxazoles leads to a mixture of stereoisomeric isoxazolines. Dehydration of these isomeric isoxazolines in the presence of trifluoroacetic anhydride gives 3-amino-4-acylamino-5-trifluoromethylisoxazoles. The structures and spectroscopic data of these compounds are discussed.     

Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. 89. Selektive Photobromierung von Si-methylierten Carbosilanen

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 89. Selective Photobromination of Si-methylated Carbosilanes A selective photobromination of the C atoms in the skeleton of Si-methylated carbosilanes is reported. (me₃Si? CH₂)₂Sime₂ reacts to me₃Si? CBr₂? Sime₂? CH₂? Sime₃ in good yields (me = CH₃); the second CH₂ group is considerably slower brominated. Photobromination of (me₂Si? CH₂)₃ consecutively yields a and b . Also from (me₂Si? CH₂)₄ the derivative with one CBr₂ group is accessible. Bromination of tertiary CH groups is highly preferred; this is shown by the selective formation of c . The C-bromination of SiBr-substituted carbosilanes is significantly more difficult; nevertheless (Brme₂Si)₂CH₂ selectively forms (Brme₂Si)₂CBr₂. Brme₂Si? CH₂? Sime₂? CH₂? Sime₃ forms Brme₂Si? CH₂? Sime₂? CBr₂? Sime₃, i. e., only the CH₂ group non-adjacent to SiBr is attacked. The formation of CHBr groups could not be detected. Higher temperatures and longer reaction times increase the formation of polymers.     

Syntheses of Diamino-dideoxylyxose Derivatives using Acylnitroso Dienophiles

N-Acylnitroso derivatives 6 which were prepared by in-situ oxidation of the corresponding hydroxamic acids 5 reacted instantaneously and in high yields with dihydropyridine 4 . The Diels-Alder adducts 8 were formed regiospecifically with the acylnitroso dienophiles 6a–c , whereas the dienophiles 6d–f gave mixtures of both regioisomers 7 and 8 . These and some other results [2] were best explained by the FMO theory. The Diels-Alder adducts 7 and 8 gave the corresponding ‘anti’-cis-glycols when reacted with OsO₄/N-methylmorpholine N-oxide. Hydrogenolysis of the N–O bond followed by peracetylation led to the expected aminolyxose derivatives 14 and 16 . A similar sequence, using 4 and the hydroxamic-acid derivative 18 of (+)-D-mandelic acid led, with a poor asymmetric induction, to a mixture of the expected optically active aminolyxose compounds 19A / 19B .     

Preliminary test for nitrogen- and oxygen-containing groups in organic compounds

Summary Organic Compounds carrying groups containing both nitrogen and oxygen, such as nitro- and nitroso compounds, oximes, hydroxamic acids, azoxy compounds, and amine oxides yield nitrous acid when they are heated dry (pyrolysis). This product can be readily detected in the gas phase by theGriess nitrite reaction. This behavior provides a rapid preliminary test for members of these classes of compounds. Micro analytical limits of identification are readily obtained within the technique of spot test analysis.

Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. LI. Reaktionen verschieden chlorierter 1,3,5-Trisila-cyclohexane mit CHMgCl und ihre 29SiNMR-Spektren

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. LI. Reactions of Various Chlorinated 1.3.5-Trisilacyclohexanes with CH₃MgCl and their ²⁹SiNMR Spectra The reaction of (a) with meMgCl starts with the formation of a Grignard compound of (a) and forms (c) via (b). The reaction sequence will be described. The ring contraction of the six-membered ringsystem is also observed with compound (d) leading to (e), whereas (f) reacts to (g), the ringsystem being maintained. No ring-contraction is observed when investigating the reactions of the derivatives containing Si? H- and C? Cl-groups. Compound (i) gives rise to (j), (k) to (l) whereas cleavage occurs with (m) and (n) does not react under the conditions applied. According to the PMR and ²⁹SiNMR spectra, the polarity of the Si? Cl-bond decreases in the compounds containing Si? Cl and CCl-groups by increasing the number of CCl₂ groups. In the compounds containing Si? H and C? Cl-groups the polarity of the Si? H-bond increases with the degree of chlorination at the C-atom. By that, the different chemical behaviour can be understood. The preparations of the starting compounds are described.     

Non-linear calibration functions in ion chromatography with suppressed conductivity detection using hydroxide eluents

The linearity of calibration curves in ion chromatography with suppressed conductivity detection using hydroxide eluents was investigated. Theoretical calibration curves were derived for strong electrolytes and weak monobasic acids and the results compared with experimental data. At low concentrations up to 1 micromol l(-1) the autoprotolysis of water induces left-curved calibration functions even for strong electrolytes like nitrate. The experimental data are best described by a quadratic function, the differences between linear and quadratic regression being up to 10%. At higher concentrations the calibration curves for strong electrolytes are linear. Due to incomplete dissociation, the calibration curves for weak mono- and dibasic acids show a right curvature. Thus, depending on the analyte and the concentration range of interest, analysts should carefully choose between a linear and a quadratic regression function.     

Crystal violet combined with Merocyanine 540 for the ex vivo purging of hematopoietic stem cell grafts

The purpose of this study was to determine in a preclinical purging model, how effective crystal violet-mediated photodynamic therapy (CV-PDT) is against solid tumor and drug-resistant mutant tumor cells, and if certain limitations of CV-PDT can be overcome by using crystal violet (CV) in combination with the membrane-active photosensitizer, Merocyanine 540 (MC540). When used under conditions that preserved an adequate fraction of normal human granulocyte/macrophage progenitors (CFU-GM), CV-PDT failed to achieve meaningful reductions of DU145 prostate, H69 small cell lung cancer, and MDA-MB-435S breast cancer cells. Melphalan-resistant L1210/L-PAM1, adriamycin-resistant P388/ADR, and adriamycin-resistant HL-60/ADR leukemia cells were markedly less sensitive to CV-PDT than their wild-type counterparts, whereas cisplatin-resistant H69/CDDP cells were more sensitive than wild-type H69 cells. Sequential exposure to MC540- and CV-PDT under conditions that preserved an adequate fraction (73% and 29%, respectively) of normal CD34-positive hematopoietic stem cells and granulocyte/macrophage progenitors was highly effective against H69 (99.997% reduction) and H69/CDDP (99.999% reduction) cells, but ineffective against HL-60/ADR, MDA-MB-435S, and DU145 cells. CV thus shows only limited promise as a single-modality purging agent. However, in certain situations, clinically meaningful tumor cell depletions can be obtained by using CV in combination with a second photosensitizer such as MC540.     

Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. 70 [1]. Reaktionen Si-fluorierter 1,3,5-Trisilapentane mit CH3MgCl und LiCH3

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 70. Reactions of Si-fluorinated 1,3,5-Trisilapentanes with CH₃MgCl and LiCH₃ F₃Si? CCl₂? SiF₂? CH₂? SiF₃ 3 reacts with meMgCl. (me = Ch₃ starting with a Si-methylation and not with a C-metallation as in the corresponding Si- and C-chlorinated compounds, e. g. (Cl₃Si? CCl₂)₂SiCl₂ [2]. A CCl-hydrogenation is observed too, which in the case of F₃Si? CCl₂? SiF₂? CHCl? SiF₃ 4 gives meS₃Si? CCl₂? Sime₂? CH₂? Sime₃. (F₃Si? CCl₂)_{2 5} reacts with meMgCl to form preferentially 1,2-Disilapropanes by cleaving a Si? Cbond. The isolation of F₃Si? CCl₂H and meF₂Si? CCl₂? SiF₂me allows to locate the bond where 5 is cleaved at the beginning of the reaction. With meLi 5 reacts to form mainly me₃Si? C?C? Sime₃, showing that in the reaction of meLi, being a stronger reagent than meMgCl, and 5 a C-metallation occurs, following the same mechanism as in the reaction with (Cl₃Si? CCl₂)₂)SiCl₂ [2]. The reaction conditions for the synthesis of Si-fluroinated and C-chlorinated 1,3,5-Trisilapentanes in a 0.1 mol scale are reported. N.m.r. data of all investigated compounds are tabulated.     

Column chromatographic separation of gallium, indium and thallium

Distribution ratios are given for the extraction of gallium-(III), indium(III) and thallium(III) from aqueous solutions of hydrobromic acid into di-isopropy ether and isobutyl methyl ketone. Based on the results obtained, a scheme is presented for the quantitative separation of these elements from each other by liquid-liquid partition chromatography. The effect of a number of other metal ions upon the separation is also studied. The separation method has been applied to the analysis of a series of lead-indium alloys.
