Isolation of fusicoccin from a culture filtrate ofFusicoccum amygdali

Fusicoccin A has been isolated from a culture filtrate of the filtrate of the fungusFusicoccum amygdali Del., and it has been characterized as an -glycoside of a tricyclic diterpenoid. The trimethylsilyl derivative of fusicoccin A has been investigated by combined GLC and mass spectrometry.All-Union Scientific-Research Institute of Applied Biology and Genetics, VASKhNIL, Moscow.

Halogenated 3-pyridylketones

The oxidation of 2,6-dichloro-3-benzylpyridines and bis(2,6-dichloro-3-pyridyl)methanes, respectively, was accomplished using chromic trioxide in a highly acidic medium. The synthesis of several phenyl-3-(2,6-dichloropyridyl)ketones and of bis(2,6-dichloro-3-pyridyl)ketone are reported.     

Dialkylindiumacetate R2InOOCCH3 (R = CH3, C2H5) Darstellung,Eigenschaften und Struktur

Dialkylindium Acetates R₂InOOCCH₃ (R = CH₃, C₂H₅). Preparation, Properties, and Structure. Dimethyl- and diethylindium acetate were prepared and the vibrational spectra (IR and RAMAN ) discussed. The X-ray structure determination shows that diethylindium acetate belongs to the orthorhombic space group Pnma. The unit cell with lattice constants a = 8.40, b = 7.41, c = 15.13 Å contains four molecules. Each indium atom forms with an acetate group a planar four-membered ring. The indium-oxygen distance within such a ring is only a little shorter than the distance of this oxygen to the indium of the next neighboured ring. Indium has therefore the coordination number six.     

Synthese von 8-Alkylamino-8-aryl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexathiocan-7-thionen

Zusammenfassung Durch gemeinsame Einwirkung von primären aliphat. Aminen und Schwefel auf Methylarylketone in Methanol bei Raumtemp. erhält man in meist guten Ausbeuten 8-Alkylamino-8-aryl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexathiocan-7-thione (1a-h). Die Umsetzung von 1,4-Diacetylbenzol mit n-Propyl-bzw. n-Butylamin und Schwefel liefert Phenylen-1,4-di-hexathiocanderivate (3 a, b).Bei der Reaktion von Acetophenon mit 3-N,N-Diäthylaminopropylamin und Schwefel entstehen neben dem 8-(3-N,N-Diäthylaminopropylamino)-8-phenyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexathiocan-7-thion (1e) 51% einer Verbindung der Summenformel C₁₅H₂₂N₂S₂ (2), der die Struktur der (3-N,N-Diäthylaminopropylimino)-phenyldithioglyoxylsäure zugeordnet wird.1 e läßt sich durch Behandlung mit wäßr. Natriumsulfit-Lösung zu2 abbauen,2 durch Reaktion mit Schwefel wieder in1 e überführen.

Synthesis of 8-alkylamino-8-aryl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexathiocan-7-thiones (Joint action of elemental sulfur and gaseous ammonia upon ketones, LXXVIII: Action of sulfur and amines on acetophenone, IX)

8-Alkylamino-8-aryl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexathiocan-7-thiones (1a toh) are obtained mostly in good yields by the concomitant action of primary aliphatic amines and sulfur upon methyl aryl ketones in methanol at room temperature. Reaction of 1,4-diacetyl benzene and sulfur with n-propylamine or n-butylamine respectively leads to phenylene-1,4-dihexathiocane derivatives (3 a, b).Besides 8-(3-N,N-diethylaminopropylamino)-8-phenyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexathiocan-7-thione (1 e), which is obtained by reaction of acetophenone with 3-N,N-diethylaminopropylamine and sulfur, a product with the formula C₁₅H₂₂N₂S₂ (2) is isolated in 51% yield, to which the structure (3-N,N-diethylaminopropylimino)phenyl dithioglyoxylic acid is assigned. By treatment of1 e with aqueous sodium sulfite solution2 is obtained, which can be transformed back into1 e by reaction with sulfur.

Zur komplexchemie von 4-zentren-π-systemen : XII. Glyoxaldiiminkomplexe: 1H-nmr-spektren und long range-kopplungen

Glyoxaldiimines (I) RN=CHCH=NR show in the NMR a downfield shift of glyoxalic protons (H_gly) when complexed to

(II: M = Mo, W), but increasing high field shifts when going to

(III) and

complexes (IV). In the tungsten complexes II H_glyW coupling satellites are resolved (J(WH) ≈4–6 Hz); in the phosphine compounds III, IV long range PH_gly coupling is clearly visible. Mechanisms of spinspin interaction are briefly discussed in connection with the EPR results on monoanionic radicals of II–IV.

Crystal field in rare-earth fluorides—I. Molecular orbital calculation of PrF3 parameters

Crystal field parameters have been calculated, using ab initio LCAO-MO theory, for the ion pair Pr³⁺—F⁻ at five metal ligand distances appropriate to Pr³⁺:LaF₃. The parameters are found to be twice as large as in PrCl₃, but with only half the distance dependence. In the absence of precise Pr³⁺:LaF₃ experimental parameters only qualitative agreement with experiment can be recorded. However, very good numerical agreement is obtained with the experimental covalency parameters for Yb³⁺:CaF₂, which provides a check on the methods adopted for calculating energy denominators.
