Copolymerization reactivities and conductivities of some living polymers of p-substituted styrenes

A kinetic study in tetrahydrofuran of the addition of 1,1-diphenylethylene on para-substituted styrylcarbanions (with Cs⁺ as counterion) has given the reactivities of free ions and ion-pairs. For both species, the addition rate constant increased in the following sequence for the substituent of the phenyl ring: pH < p-CH₃ <p-CH₃O. It was also shown that in the same solvent, the dissociation constants of the polystyryl ion-pairs decreased with the electron-donating power of the substituent.     

Etude de la reactivite des coumarines—I : Regioselectivete des reactifs de grignard engages avec la coumarine

The various products obtained by the action of organomagnesium, compounds on coumarin result from 1.2-1.2 di-addition (phenolic alcohols) or 1.2–1.4 di-addition (ketophenols) or 1.4 mono-addition (dihydrobenzopyrones). The results show the importance of the nature of the halogen component of the Grignard reagent. A theoretical model allows regioselectivity of coumarine in relation to the group R and the halogene X to be evaluated.     

Magydardiendiol,diterpenoid with a new skeleton from magydaris panacifolia (umbelliferae).

Three new diterpenoids with a substituted α-cyclogeraniol skeleton have been isolated from the umbelliferae $\text{Magydaris panacifolia}$ (Vahl) Lange, for which the names of magydar-2,13-dien-11,17-diol, $\text{1}$, magydar-2,10 (20), 13-trien-17-ol, $\text{2}$, and magydar-2,10(20), 13-trien-17-yl acetate, $\text{3}$, are proposed. The structures of these substances have been deduced from spectroscopic and chemical data.     

Condensation metallosupramolecular polymers containing main-chain 2,2′-bipyridine and 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties

Methods of preparing diverse metallosupramolecular polymers containing 2,2′-bipyridine and 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties in main chains and their properties have been considered and analyzed. It has been shown that these polymers offer new possibilities for the design of materials possessing valuable specific characteristics.     

Tetrajodterephtalsäure-derivate als Röntgen-Kontrastmittel

New monoamides and diamides of tetraiodoterephthalic acid have been synthesized for evaluation as X-ray contrast agents. Solubility, toxicity, bilitropism, urotropism, and in some cases cholecystographic quality of these compounds are given.
