Reaction of esters of thio acids of trivalent arsenic with organomagnesium compounds

Conclusions Depending on the molar ratios, the esters of the thio acids of trivalent aresnic are alkylated by organomagnesium compounds to give the corresponding tertiary arsines or the esters of the thio acids of trivalent arsenic.Deceased.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 963–965, April, 1972.     

Production of new lagochilin derivatives

The tetrahydric alcohol Lgochilin belongs to the 9,13-epoxylabdane series of diterpenoids. It is produced by many species of plants of the Lagochilus genus and can be used as the starting material for the synthesis of new compounds with a broad spectrum of physiological action [1, 2]. Many lagochilin derivatives possess hemostatic (3, 4) and antiviral properties. Lagochilin derivatives with aromatic hydroxaldehydes and naphthaldehydes have been synthesized, and the cytotoxic effects of the compounds synthesized in cell cultures have been studied.Tashkent State University, (fax (3712) 46 24. 42.

Carbohydrates of cultivated varieties ofAlthea rosea

The polysaccharides of three cultivated varieties ofAlthea rosea have been investigated. The amounts of water-soluble polysaccharides and pectin substances in various organs of the plant have been determined. It has been shown that the maximum amount of water-soluble polysaccharides and pectin substances is present in the flowers. Their monosaccharide compositions have been studied. The physicochemical characteristics of the pectin substances are given.     

Formation of furan derivatives in the course of the Stevens rearrangement of ammonium salts containing 4-allyloxy(phenoxy)-2-butynyl group

Ammonium salts containing phenacyl group in combination with 4-allyloxy(phehoxy)-2-butynyl group, when treated with a suspension of potassium hydroxide in benzene, undergo the 3,2-Stevens rearrangement with the formation of allenic amino ketones which under the reaction conditions give the furan derivatives.     

Electroreduction of cerium ions on silver electrode in halide melts at 973 K

The mechanism of electroreduction of cerium ions in equimolar KCl-NaCl melt is explored at 973 K. The effect of the anionic composition of the melt on the electroreduction of cerium ions is studied. It is shown that the electrodeposition of metal cerium from halide melts on a silver electrode is the primary electrochemical process that occurs at potentials more positive than those corresponding to the supporting-electrolyte decomposition. The electroreduction of chloride complexes of cerium on a silver electrode in the melt in both steady-and non-steady-state polarization modes at rates below V ≤ 0.5 V/s is limited by the diffusion delivery; at higher polarization rates, the charge-transfer stage predominates.     

Vibrational spectra of cyclopropenes. II. IR spectra of 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropenes

The IR spectra were measured and the vibrational problem was solved for the 1,2-dimethyl-3-phenylcyclopropene (I) and 1,2-diphenylcyclopropene (II) molecules. The forms of the normal vibrations were determined, and the vibrations associated with vibrations of the exo- and endocyclic bonds of the ring were distinguished. It was shown that substitution at the double bond of cyclopropene leads to a change in the form of the symmetrical vibration of the ring in comparison with the vibration of unsubstituted cyclopropene. It was shown that a significant hypsochromic shift of the band of the symmetrical ring vibration in 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropenes in comparison with cyclopropenes that do not contain substituents at the C^1,2 atoms is due chiefly to the kinematic effect of the substituent. It was found that the introduction of substituents at the double bond of the ring leads to a decrease in the force constant of the double bonds.St. Petersberg University.

An investigation of the alkaloids of Lolium cuneatum

Summary In addition to three known alkaloids, the seeds ofL. cuneatum have yielded N-formylloline, N-acetylnorloline, and the new alkaloids N-methylloline and N-formylloline methiodide.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Telomerization of ethylene with 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane in the presence of iron pentacarbonyl and isopropyl alcohol

Conclusions Polychlorinated hydrocarbons containing the CCl₃ group can be used as telogens in the telomerization of olefins in the presence of iron pentacarbonyl and i-C₃H₇OH. The formation of the telomer homologs in high yield obeys the general rules that were established for the given initiating system.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2837–2839, December, 1971.     

Synthesis of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-N-methylaminoacids from oxazolidine-5-one derivatives

Hydrogenolysis of 3-benzyloxycarbonyloxazolidine-5-one and 3-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-benzyloxazolidine-5-one by Et₃SiH in the presence of F₃.CCO₂H is demonstrated to be a convenient method for preparing substituted N-methylaminoacids. In contrast with catalytic hydrogenation on Pd/C catalyst, the benzyloxycarbonyl is not removed and the methyl is not lost using this method.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 681–683, May, 1992.
