Determination of cadmium by substoichiometric thermal neutron activation analysis

A rapid and selective method has been developed for the determination of cadmium in environmental samples by thermal neutron activation analysis, employing substoichiometric solvent extraction technique. Alcoholic solution of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole /2-HMBT/ has been used for the substoichiometric extraction of Cd/II/ from an aqueous solution of pH 7.0 into methyl iso-butyl ketone /MIBK/.     

Crystal and molecular structures of 2,10-diacetoxy-13-thiabicyclo[7.3.1]-cis-tridec-5-ene and 2,9-dichloro-13-thiabicyclo[8.2.1]-cis-tridec-5-ene sulfoxide

The crystal and molecular structures of 2,10-diacetoxy-13-thiabicyclo[7.3.1]-cis-tridec-5-ene and 2,9-dichloro-13-thiablcyclo[8.2.1]-cis-tridec-5-ene sulfoxide were established. The conformations of the molecules are such that the unshared pairs of electrons of the sulfur atoms are directed to the carboncarbon double bonds of their molecules. It was observed that there are stereochemical conditions for transannular transformations under the influence of polarized molecules and cations.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1628–1632, December, 1977.

Synthesis of N-β- trifluoroethyl derivatives of maleic and citraconic acids

Summary Halogen derivatives of the N-alkylmonoamides and N-alkylimides of maleic and citraconic acid containing the strongly electronegative group CF₃ in the alkyl radical, previously unreported in the literature, have been synthesized.
