XY-ZH compounds as potential 1,3-dipoles. Part 63: Silver catalysed azomethine ylide cycloaddition—the synthesis of spiro homoserine lactone analogues

A range of room temperature 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of imines of 2-amino-γ-lactone and thiolactone, catalysed by a combination of AgOAc or Ag₂O with NEt₃ or DBU, are described. The spiro lactones/thiolactones are formed regio- and stereoselectively as single cycloadducts in good yield via the syn dipoles and an endo-transition states.     

Parametric study of catalytic reforming process?

Summary A parametric study of catalytic reforming process in a pilot plant was carried out by varying the pressure, H₂/HC ratio, and space velocity. The results show that lower aromatics and higher hydrogen yields can be accomplished by increasing the space velocity in existing reformers, which will also result in better C₅⁺yield.     

Synthesis of the southern furan segment of furanocembranoids

Abstract

A convergent synthesis of the southern furan segment of novel furanocembranoids from Croton oblongifolius has been accomplished involving silver-catalyzed cyclization of alkynyl diol as the key step towards 2, 5-disubstituted furan ring formation.     

Production of carrier-free scandium radioisotopes from a neutron-irradiated potassium titanium oxalate target

Summary Extraction of scandium and calcium radioactivities with 1% HDEHP in benzene from nitric acid solution was investigated. The effect of potassium titanium oxalate concentration on the extraction from 1.5M nitric acid was studied. From the data obtained, two procedures based on batch solvent extraction and extraction chromatography were developed for separation and production of radioscandium from a neutron-irradiated potassium titanium oxalate target. The radiochemical purity of the separated scandium radioactivities was more than 98%.

Zusammenfassung Die Extraktion der Aktivitäten des Scandiums und Calciums aus salpetersaurer Lösung mit 1% Diäthylhexylphosphorsäure in Benzol wurde untersucht. Der Einfluß der Kalium-Titanoxalat-Konzentration auf die Extraktion aus 1,5-m Salpetersäure wurde geprüft. Auf Grund der Ergebnisse wurden zwei Verfahren zur Trennung und Gewinnung von Radio-Scandium aus einem neutronenbestrahlten Kalium-Titanoxalat-Target ausgearbeitet, die auf einmaliger Extraktion mit dem Lösungsmittel bzw. auf Extraktionschromatographie beruhen. Die radiochemische Reinheit der Sc-Aktivitäten war besser als 98%.

     

Die Veresterungsgeschwindigkeiten der Monoaminobenzoesäuren und der 1- und 2-Pyridinkarbonsäuren in Glykol und Glyzerin

Zusammenfassung Es werden die Veresterungsgeschwindigkeiten der Monoaminobenzoesäuren und der 1- und 2-Pyridinkarbonsäuren bei 25° mit Chlorwasserstoff als Katalysator sowohl in wasserfreiem als auch in wasserhaltigem Glykol und in wasserfreiem Glyzerin gemessen, die derm- und derp-Aminobenzoesäure und der 2-Pyridinkarbonsäure (Nikotinsäure) auch in wasserhaltigem Glyzerin. Die Abhängigkeit der monomolekularen Geschwindigkeitskonstanten vom Wassergehalt (w) des Mediums und dem Überschuß der Konzentration der Salzsäure über die der organischen Säure, bzw. ihres Esters (C) wird für die drei zuletzt genannten Säuren durch Formeln dargestellt. Diese Geschwindigkeitskonstanten nehmen durchwegs sowohl in wasserfreiem als auch in wasserhaltigem Glykol und Glyzerin nicht nur rascher als die Konzentration der gesamten Salzsäure, sondern auch als die des obigen Überschusses, d. h. der freien Salzsäure, zu.FürC=1/3 sind beiw=0.03 die Geschwindigkeitskonstanten derm- und derp-Aminobenzoesäure und der Nikotinsäure in Äthylalkohol um 20–30 %, die der Anthranilsäure um 70%, die der Pikolinsäure um 130% größer als in Glykol, beiw=0.7 dagegen die der drei ersteren Säuren um 35–50% kleiner.In Glykol sind die Konstanten bei der Anthranilsäure und den Pyridinkarbonsäuren kleiner als in Glyzerin, bei den übrigen wie bei den früher untersuchten Säuren aber größer.Die sterische Wirkung der Aminogruppe in Orthostellung ist in Glykol größer, in Glyzerin kleiner als in Äthylalkohol.Unter gleichen Bedingungen Bind die Konstanten der Veresterungsgeschwindigkeit der Nikotinsäure in Glykol und Glyzerin etwa viermal, in Äthylalkohol nur etwa zweimal größer als die der Pikolinsäure.     

UV-vis, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopic studies of some mono- and bis-azo-compounds based on 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene and aniline derivatives

The absorption spectra of mono- and bis-azo-derivatives obtained by coupling the diazonium salts of aromatic amines and 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene have been studied in six organic solvents. The different absorption bands have been assigned and the effect of solvents on the charge transfer band is also discussed. The diagnostic IR spectral bands and 1H NMR signals are assigned and discussed in relation to molecular structure. Also, semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations using the atom superposition and electron delocalization molecular orbital (ASED-MO) theory have been performed to investigate the molecular and electronic structures of these compounds. According to these calculations, an intramolecular hydrogen bonding is essential for stabilization of such molecules.     

Flow injection determination of ergonovine maleate with amperometric detection at the Kel-F-graphite composite electrode

The Kel-F-graphite electrode was used for the electrochemical detection of ergonovine maleate in a flowing stream. It was found useful in the analyte concentration range 0.5-20 mug ml , with a detection limit of 50 ng ml (1.1 x 10(-7)M). A procedure was developed for assay of ergonovine maleate in tablets, and the results obtained agreed with those given by the official U.S. Pharmacopeia method.     

Kinetic Spectrophotometric Determination of Ritodrine Hydrochloride in Dosage Forms

A simple and sensitive kinetic method was developed for the determination of ritodrine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations. The method is based upon a kinetic investigation of the oxidation reaction of the drug with alkaline potassium permenganate at room temperature for a fixed 12.5 min; the absorbance of the colored permenganate ion was measured at 609 nm. The absorbance concentration plots were rectilinear over the range of 1.6–11.2 μg mL^?1 (r = 0.9992) with a minimum detectability of 0.096 μgmL^?1 (2.88 × 10^?7 M). The different experimental parameters affecting the development and stability of color were carefully studied and optimized. The determination of ritodrine hydrochloride by the fixed concentration and rate constant methods is also feasible with the calibration equations obtained, but the fixed time method has been found to be more applicable. The proposed method was applied successfully to the determination of ritodrine hydrochloride in tablets and ampoules with average recoveries of 100.37 ± 0.93% and 100.42 ± 0.87%, respectively. The results obtained were in good agreement with those obtained using a reference method for comparison. A proposal of the reaction pathway is also presented.     

Beta-N-cyanoethyl acyl hydrazide derivatives: a new class of beta-glucuronidase inhibitors

Eight new beta-N-substituted acyl hydrazides along with their corresponding acyl derivatives were synthesized and screened for in vitro beta-glucuronidase inhibition and found to be active against the enzyme. All of these compounds were found to be noncompetitive inhibitors except for N'-(2-cyanoethyl)-4-hydroxy benzohydrazide (10), which was found to be an uncompetitive inhibitor. Structure-activity relationship studies indicated that the benzyloxy group present in compounds 12 and 13 is responsible for the beta-glucuronidase inhibition activity.     

Polarographic behaviour and determination of spironolactone

The polarographic behaviour of spironolactone in Britton-Robinson buffers containing 40% methanol as a solubilizer was studied. Over the pH range 3-12 a cathodic wave was produced. The wave was characterized as irreversible, diffusion-controlled and partially affected by adsorption phenomena. The number of electrons involved in the reduction was found by coulometric measurements at a controlled potential. A method was developed for the determination of spironolactone in tablets and the results obtained were in agreement with those obtained by the B.P. 1988 method. The mechanism of the electrode reaction is discussed.AvH scholar: 1989–1991
