Zur Hemmung der katalytischen Jodwirkung auf das system Cer(IV)-sulfat—arsenige Säure

Zusammenfassung Die Hemmung der katalytischen Jodwirkung auf die Redoxreaktion Cer(IV)-sulfat—arsenige Säure wird hinsichtlich ihrer Vorund Nachteile bei analytischer Anwendung untersucht. Brucinacetat gibt mit Ceriion in schwefelsaurer Lösung nachFischl eine quantitativ auswertbare Farbreaktion. Kritische Untersuchungen hierzu ergeben, daß die Lösungen zur vollen Entwicklung und Stabilität der orangeroten Farbe (Absorptionsmaximum 470 nm) mindestens 10 bis höchstens 12 Min. auf 105° zu erhitzen sind. Die Anwendung auf die Jodbestimmung im Blutserum nachSpitzy, Reese undSkrube bietet infolge methodischer Komplizierung keinen besonderen Vorteil.

Summary The inhibition of the catalytic action of iodine on the redox-reaction ceric sulphate—arsenious acid was investigated with regard to the advantages and disadvantages in its analytical application. Brucine acetate gives, according toFischl, a quantitative colour reaction with ceric ions in sulphuric acid. Critical investigations carried out show that the solution only develops a stable, orange-red colour (absorption maximum 470 nm) between 10 and 12 minutes heating. Application of this procedure to the determination of iodine in blood serum by the method ofSpitzy, Reese, andSkrube introduces complications and has, therefore, no special advantage.

Résumé Etude des avantages et des inconvénients de l'emploi en chimie analytique de l'inhibition de l'effet catalytique de l'iode sur la réaction d'oxydo-réduction cerium(IV)-sulfate—acide arsenieux. Avec les ions cériques l'acétate de brucine donne, en solution sulfurique, d'aprèsFischl, une réaction colorée susceptible d'être employée pour une détermination quantitative. Des recherches critiques ont montré que les solutions devaient être chauffées pendant au moins 10 min. et au plus 12 min. à 105° pour développer complètement la couleur rouge orangé et obtenir sa stabilité (maximum d'absorption à 470 nm). L'application à la détermination de l'iode dans le sérum sanguin d'aprèsSpitzy, Reese etSkrube n'offre aucun avantage particulier du fait de la complication de la méthode.

     

Kristallisierte Komplexe von tertiären Phosphinoxiden und Arsinoxiden mit Phenolen

Zusammenfassung Die Umsetzung von Triphenylphosphinoxid und Triphenylarsinoxid mit Phenolen führt zu kristallinen Addukten, nicht zu Verbindungen mit fünfbindigem Phosphor oder Arsen. Die Phenylgruppen des Phosphinoxids können mit Methylgruppen substitutiert sein, nicht aber mit Cl, NH₂, NO₂ oder COOH. Statt des Phenylrestes kann außerdem Cyclohexyl vorhanden sein. Das Endprodukt bei der Umsetzung von Triphenylphosphin mit Tetrachlororthochinon wurde ebenfalls im Gegensatz zu früheren Formulierungen als Addukt von (C₆H₅)₃PO und Tetrachlorbrenzcatechin erkannt.

The reaction of triphenylphosphine oxide and triphenylarsine oxide with phenols leads to crystalline adducts and not to compounds with pentavalent phosphorus or arsenic. The phenyl groups of triphenylphosphine oxide can be substituted by methyl groups, though not by Cl, NH₂, NO₂, or COOH. Furthermore, the phenyl groups are exchangeable for cyclohexyl groups. Contrary to previous conclusions, the product of the reaction of triphenylphosphine with tetrachloro-o-quinone was identified as an adduct of (C₆H₅)₃PO and tetrachloropyrocatechol.

     

New methodologies for the preparation of porphodimethenes and their conversion to trans-porphyrins with functionalized naphthyl spacers

The MacDonald [2 + 2]-type condensation of readily available 5-aryl-substituted dipyrromethanes with acenaphthenequinone leads to the trans-syn- and anti-porphodimethenes, which in turn can be converted to the alpha,alpha- and alpha,beta-porphyrin atropisomers, respectively. Treatment of the metalated or unmetalated porphodimethenes with KOH or NaOMe in THF followed by protonation with HCl results in a ring opening of the acenaphthenone and formation of the trans-8-carboxynaphthylporphyrins or their esters (NaOMe) after oxidation. Alternatively, the porphyrin formation can be accomplished by reaction of the porphodimethenes with acids in the presence of water or methanol. Reaction with NaBH(4) in a THF--methanol mixture yields the corresponding dialcohols in nearly quantitative yields. Sixteen different building blocks were prepared in order to evaluate the generality of this new synthetic approach, with Ar = 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2); 2,6-Cl(2)C(6)H(3); 2,6-F(2)C(6)H(3); 3,4-tBu(2)C(6)H(3); 3,4,5-(MeO)(3)C(6)H(2); 4-BrC(6)H(4); 4-MeC(6)H(4); and 4-MeOOCC(6)H(4) at the meso positions. The synthesized porphodimethenes and porphyrins have been fully characterized, and the X-ray structure analyses of three representative derivatives are presented.     

Studies on the determination of diacetyl guanfubase A concentration in rabbit plasma and pharmacokinetics

A gas chromatographic method for monitoring diacetyl guanfubase A in plasma is described. The procedure involved a single solvent extraction of drug from rabbit plasma into ethyl acetate with guanfubase A as an internal standard. The extract was analyzed subsequently on a gas chromatograph equipped with a hydrogen flame ionization detector. The recovery was 86.43% +/- 6.90% (+/- SD); the RSD of within-day and between-day was 2.81%-5.26% and 5.22%-8.24%, respectively; the regression line was linear over the concentration range of 25-200 micrograms/mL, the limit of detection was 10 micrograms/mL. No endogeneous interference was found in chromatograms of the biological samples. This method was applied to the pharmacokinetic study of diacetyl guanfubase A in rabbits.     

Synthesis and reactivity of dimeric Ar'TlTlAr' and trimeric (Ar"T1)3 (Ar', Ar" = bulky terphenyl group) thallium(I) derivatives: Tl(I)-Tl(I) bonding in species ligated by monodentate ligands

The synthesis and characterization of three new organothallium(I) compounds are reported. Reaction of (Ar'Li)(2) (Ar' = C(6)H(3)-2,6-(C(6)H(3)-2,6-Pr(i)(2))(2)) and Ar"Li (Ar" = C(6)H(3)-2,6-(C(6)H(3)-2,6-Me(2))(2)) with TlCl in Et(2)O afforded (Ar'Tl)(2) (1) and (Ar' 'Tl)(3) (2). The "dithallene" 1 is the heaviest group 13 dimetallene and features a planar, trans-bent structure with Ar'Tl-Tl = 119.74(14) degrees and Tl-Tl = 3.0936(8) A. Compound 2 is the first structurally characterized neutral, three-membered ring species of formula c-(MR)(3) (M = Al-Tl; R = organo group). The Tl(3) ring has Tl-Tl distances in the range ca. 3.21-3.37 A as well as pyramidal Tl geometries. The Tl-Tl bonds in 1 and 2 are outside the range (2.88-2.97 A) of Tl-Tl single bonds in R(2)TlTlR(2) compounds. The weak Tl-Tl bonding in 1 and 2 leads to their dissociation into Ar'Tl and Ar' 'Tl monomers in hexane. The Ar'Tl monomer behaves as a Lewis base and readily forms a 1:1 donor-acceptor complex with B(C(6)F(5))(3) to give Ar'TlB(C(6)F(5))(3), 3. Adduct 3 features an almost linear thallium C(ipso)-Tl-B angle of 174.358(7) degrees and a Tl-B distance of 2.311(2) A, which indicates strong association. Treatment of 1 with a variety of reagents resulted in no reactions. The lower reactivity of 1 is in accord with the reluctance of Tl(I) to undergo oxidation to Tl(III) due to the unreactive character of the 6s(2) electrons.     

Structure analytical methods for quantitative reference applications

The analytical methods mass spectrometry, UV/Vis, IR, Raman, Fluorometry, XRD, Mössbauer, and NMR used to elucidate chemical structure are evaluated regarding their capabilities to be used as primary analytical techniques in quantitative measurements, considering the criteria in the CCQM definition of primary methods. This includes a review of the respective measurement equations, the evaluation of the measurement uncertainty, and a discussion of evidence for the “highest metrological level”, as obtained from intercomparisons in contest with other methods. It is shown that only few methods fulfill the CCQM criteria. Quantitative NMR spectroscopy is one of them and may be considered as a potential primary method as recommended by CCQM because of being free of empirical factors in the uncertainty budget.

The molecular structure of gaseous CsReO₄ has been studied by matrix isolation IR spectroscopy. The ¹⁸O substitution experiments indicate a bidentate structure of C_2v symmetry in which the perrhenate anion is slightly distorted from the tetrahedral geometry.
