Bemerkungen zur Synthese von 3-Aminotoluol-5-sulfonsäure und 2-Aminotoluol-3-sulfonsäure

Some comments on the synthesis of 3-aminotoluene-5-sulfonic acid and 2-aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid. Sulfonation of 3-nitrotoluene ( 5 ) yields predominantly the unsymetrical isomer 5-nitrotoluene-2-sulfonic acid ( 7 ), and lesser amounts of 5-nitrotoluene-3-sulfonic acid ( 6 ), previously reported as the major product. The desired 5-aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid ( 3 ) was synthesized in preparative amounts from 6-aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid (4) via the following sequence of reactions: diazotation and Sandmeyer replacement of 6-chlorotoluene-3-sulfonic acid ( 13 ), nitration of the sulfonyl chloride 14 under suitable conditions to give isomer free 6-chloro-5-nitrotoluene-3-sulfonyl chloride ( 15 ), hydrolysis to the sulfonic acid 16 and finally, simultaneous hydrogenolysis and reduction to 3 . The isomeric 7 was unequivocally prepared from 2-amino-5-nitrotoluene ( 9 ) via two routes: (1) diazotation, Sandmeyer thiocyanatation to 5-nitro-2-thiocyanatotoluene ( 10 ), Na₂S reduction to the di(2-methyl-4-nitro-phenyl)-disulfide ( 11 ), treatment with nitric acid and chlorine to give 5-nitrotoluene-2-sulfonyl chloride ( 12 ) and finally alkaline hydrolysis to 7 ; (2) Meerwein's SO₂ treatment of the diazonium salt derived from 9 leads directly to 12 and thence to 7 . 2-Aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid ( 1 ) was prepared from the key intermediate 3-amino-2-nitrotoluene ( 18 ) via the same two routes used to prepare 7 from 9 . Both reaction sequences provided 2-nitrotoluene-3-sulfonly chloride, the hydrolysis product of which was reduced to 1 . Intermediate 18 was prepared in the following four steps from m-toluic acid ( 19 ): nitration to the 2-nitroderivative ( 20 ), whose acid chloride ( 21 ) was converted to 2-nitro-m-toluamide ( 22 ), and Hoffmann rearrangement to 18 .     

Organic synthesis on the microgram scale. III separation and purification of steroids

Summary This paper describes techniques for separation and purification of steroids on the thin-layer plate. Two or more operations can be performed on the same plate in order to avoid loss of material and product.When a steroid diketone (progesterone) is treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine on silica gel, three products are obtainable. These compounds can be readily purified on the same thin-layer plate and converted to the parent steroid by means of stannous chloride in dilute hydrochloric acid.

Zusammenfassung Trennung und Reinigung von Steroiden auf der Dünnschichtplatte werden beschrieben. Zwei oder mehr Operationen lassen sich, um Substanzverluste zu vermeiden, auf derselben Platte ausführen.Wird ein Diketosteroid (Progesteron) mit 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazin auf Kieselgel behandelt, so erhält man drei Reaktionsprodukte, die auf derselben Platte leicht gereinigt und mit Zinn(II)-chlorid in verd. Salzsäure in das entsprechende Ausgangssteroid zurückverwandelt werden können.

     

Eine neue Methode zur volumetrischen Bestimmung von Phosphit und Hypophosphit nebeneinander

Zusammenfassung Zur Bestimmung von phosphoriger und von unterphosphoriger Säure in Bädern zur stromlosen Herstellung von Metallüberzügen werden zwei neue Methoden beschrieben.Unterphosphorige Säure wird mit Silberperchlorat oxydiert und der Überschuß an Silberionen mit Natriumchlorid zurücktitriert. Die Summe von phosphoriger Säure und unterphosphoriger Säure wird bromatometrisch in 0,11 N salzsaurer Lösung bestimmt. Zur Erfassung der phosphorigen Säure eignet sich das von Norkus, Lunjackas u. Carankute beschriebene jodometrische Verfahren.

Summary Two new methods are described for the determination of phosphorous and hypophosphorous acid in bath solutions for the production of metal coatings without current. Hypophosphorous acid is oxidized with silver perchlorate and the excess of silver ions is back-titrated with sodium chloride. The sum of phosphorous and hypophosphorous acid is determined bromatometrically in 0.11 N hydrochloric acid solution. Phosphorous acid can be determined by the iodometric procedure according to Norkus, Lunjackas and Carankute.

Effects of target gas in collision-induced dissociation using a double quadrupole mass spectrometer and radiofrequency

Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of polyatomic ions sampled from an rf-powered glow discharge is examined by using three target gases including atomic (Ar and Xe) and molecular species (N2). Collisions with these targets in the first quadrupole of the double quadrupole system result in the loss of discharge species by dissociation, symmetric and asymmetric charge exchange, and scattering, each to varying degrees. These processes are seen to be a function of the relative mass, size... and ionization potentials of the target species, as well as the collision center-of-mass energies. In light of the comparisons, xenon appears to be the best collision target for both CID and charge exchange because of its relatively low ionization potential and high dissociation efficiency of polyatornic species. Evidence for both symmetric and asymmetric charge exchange is presented for Ar and Xe target gases.     

Analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by ion trap tandem mass spectrometry

An ion-trap mass spectrometer with a wave board and tandem mass spectrometry software was used to analyze gas chromatographically separated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by using collision-induced dissociation (CID). The nonresonant (multiple collision) mode was used to determine the conditions for CID ionization of 18 PAHs. Unlike in electron impact (EI) analysis, the relative abundances of progeny ions of isomers were statistically different (using Student’s t-test) in CID analysis, thus making isomer identification by CID possible. For comparison, CID and EI were applied to the analysis of used motor oil. CID analysis was shown to be more sensitive than EI analysis of the used motor oil. Precision at the 10-ppb level for EI and CID showed relative standard deviations of 5. 2 and 7. 7%, respectively.
