Air-stable liquid clathrates. 1. Crystal structure of [NBu4][Br3] and reactivity of the [NBu4][Br3]·5 C6H6 liquid clathrate

[NBu₄][Br₃] interacts with C₆H₆ to form an air-stable liquid clathrate. The tribromide anion reacts with phenol to give para-bromophenol in>95% yield. The HBr which is generated in the reaction combines with the Br^– anion to form [Br-H-Br]^–. The latter forms the basis for a new liquid clathrate, [NBu₄][Br-H-Br]·n C₆H₆. The parent salt, [NBu₄][Br₃], crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c witha=12.983(5),b=10.380(7),c=16.222(6) Å,=93.93(3)°, andD _c =1.47 g cm^–3 forZ=4. The final R value is 0.068 based on 787 observed reflections.     

Analysis of the optical and geometrical isomer distributions in selected propylene glycol acetals

For the first time, relative distributions of optical and geometrical isomers in selected propylene glycol acetals are determined. Resolution of the four acetal isomers possible through the reaction of racemic propylene glycol (PG) with selected aldehydes is demonstrated. The four isomers are ascribed to the presence of syn and anti geometrical isomers for each optically active PG acetal enantiomer. Thus, the (+) and well as (-) enantiomer are found to have a pair of syn and anti geometrical isomers. The ratio of the (+) and (-) isomers in the product remains at an approximate 50:50 ratio, as expected. However, somewhat unexpectedly, the syn/anti geometrical isomer ratio systematically varies with the nature of the substituent comprising the side chain of the aldehyde. Mechanisms involving electronic and minimal steric effects are advanced as possible reasons for the change in the syn/anti PG acetal ratios.     

Divergent and stereocontrolled synthesis of the enamide side chains of oximidines I/II/III, salicylihalamides A/B, lobatamides A/D, and CJ-12,950

[reaction: see text] A unified strategy for the divergent and stereocontrolled introduction of the (E)- and (Z)-enamide side-chains of oximidines I, II, and III, salicylihalamides A and B, lobatamides A and D, and CJ-12,950 is detailed. The synthesis relied on the copper-promoted C-N coupling of (E)- and (Z)-vinyl iodides with a protected maleimide hemiaminal followed by deprotection and reaction of the resulting (E)- or (Z)-enelactam hemiaminals with O-methylhydroxylamine or propylidenetriphenylphosphorane.     

Increasing the RF energy per pulse of an RKO

The Air Force Research Laboratory RKO source has recently demonstrated the ability to convert electron beam power to RF power until the termination of the electron beam pulse, achieving a power of 1.5 GW at an energy of 170 J. These results represent an increase in power of 25-30% in power and energy extracted from this source. This paper discusses the principal research areas encountered in lengthening the RF pulse (FWHM) from 50 ns to the present 120 ns and the associated increase in the RF energy     

Double Molecular Encapsulation of Tetrahydrofuran by an Amphiphilic Calix-[4]-arene

The crystal structure of para-octanoylcalix-[4]-arene·2 tetrahydrofuran complex reveals double inclusion of the guest molecules, one deep in the aromatic cavity and the other held in a four-fingered molecular hand formed by the aliphatic chains, the inclusion changes the molecular packing from a bilayer system in the absence of guest, to a head-to-tail antiparallel chain packing.     

A chemistry home page on the World Wide Web

In this article a brief overview of the World Wide Web (WWW) is given, with some examples of the kind of information and services pertaining to analytical chemistry that can be found there. An existing WWW site that has been set up for analytical chemists is used as a case in point. The article concludes with a brief look at some of the issues raised by publishing on the Internet.
