Carvone epoxidation by system “hydrogen peroxide-[Mn2L2O3][PF6]2 (L = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane)-carboxylic acid”: a combinatorial approach to the process optimization?

Summary Epoxidation of natural terpene (+)-carvone by the system consisting of a catalyst, oxalic acid (co-catalyst) and H₂O₂ (70% aqueous solution; oxidant) was studied and factorial design methods were applied for the optimization of this reaction. A dinuclear manganese(IV) complex [LMn(O)₃MnL](PF₆)₂ (L = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) was used as a catalyst, and acetonitrile was employed as a solvent. An analysis by methods of the complete 2⁴ factorial design showed that an increase in the catalyst concentration gives a strong positive effect on the carvone conversion and selectivity. Hydrogen peroxide has a smaller positive effect on the conversion, but at high concentration, H₂O₂ leads to some decrease in the selectivity. An increase in the oxalic acid concentration has a beneficial effect on the conversion, but does not affect the selectivity.     

Remote sensing in an optically dense environment by using two-photon excited fluorescence and a single multimode fiber optic

The feasibility of remote sensing by means of two-photon excited molecular fluorescence was investigated by using a single 115-m multimode optical fibr.Because of modal dispersion and reflecton of Rayleigh scatter, time-resolved detection ws required to resolve the weak fluorescence from the relatively intense laser background. The bare-ended probe, which both delivered the excitation and collected the fluorescence emission, was employed to detect an analyte in an optically dense environment. For a fixed amount of fluorophore, the solvent was continuously changed from 90% (w/w) ethanol (non-absorbing) to 100% acetone (absorbing). The result was a flurorescence signal constant to within 5%. Quantitation via one-photon excitatation using a 50-cm optical fiber demonstrated the characteristic inner filter roll-off of optically dense systems. Because of th elarge attenuation of the waveguide in the ultraviolet range, remote sensing via one-photon excited fluorescence proved impossible. However, linear calibration plots for the nonlinear excitation process were obtained from micromolar to near saturation levels. Sources of interference were isolated, and the extension to a single-mode fiber was made.     

Combinatorial synthesis of benztropine libraries and their evaluation as monoamine transporter inhibitors

A combinatorial synthesis of benztropine analogues is presented. Radical azidonation of 3-benzyloxy-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester 3 to 3-(1-azidobenzyloxy)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester 4 was used as a key step in the synthesis. This step was optimized by adding 10% DMF to the reaction. Reaction of 4 with phenyl magnesium bromide followed by Boc removal and N-methylation gave benztropine 1. Reaction of five-component Grignard reagents with 4 was used to create a two-dimensional library of 25 N-normethylbenztropine analogues. Further reaction of this library with five alkyl bromides was carried out to create a three-dimensional library containing 125 compounds. Screening of the libraries towards binding and inhibition of uptake of the human dopamine (hDAT), serotonin (hSERT) and norepinephrine transporters (hNET) was carried out. None of the synthesized compounds were found to be stronger than benztropine, and none were selective for inhibition of binding over monoamine uptake.     

Stereochemical features of the physical and chemical interactions of singlet oxygen with enecarbamates

Oxazolidinone-substituted enecarbamates represent a mechanistically rich system for the study of stereoelectronic, steric, and conformational effects on stereoselectivity and mode selectivity in (1)O(2) [2 + 2] and ene reactions. Photooxygenation of these enecarbamates with (1)O(2) leads to diastereomerically pure dioxetanes that decompose to yield an oxazolidinone carbaldehyde and one of the two enantiomers of methyldesoxybenzoin in enantiomeric excess. Stereoselectivity originates at the allylic stereocenter, a result supported by quenching studies, computational analysis, and deuterium solvent isotope effects. [reaction: see text]     

A measurement of the lifetimes of Ξ0 and Λ hyperons

The mean lifetimes of the Λ and Ξ⁰ hyperons have been measured in a short neutral beam at the CERN Proton Synchrotron. Λ and Ξ⁰ decays have been identified by measuring their decay products in a magnetic spectrometer and in a lead glass hodoscope. The experimental results, based on 53 000 Λ decays and 6300 Ξ⁰ decays are

From the result for τ_Ξ⁰ together with existing data on τ_Ξ^? we obtain a violation of the $\text{ΔI =}\text{1}\text{2}$ rule in non-leptonic Ξ decays.     

Calculation of the transport properties of carbon dioxide. III. Volume viscosity, depolarized Rayleigh scattering, and nuclear spin relaxation

Transport properties of pure carbon dioxide have been calculated from the intermolecular potential using the classical trajectory method. Results are reported in the dilute-gas limit for volume viscosity, depolarized Rayleigh scattering, and nuclear spin relaxation for temperatures ranging from 200 to 1000 K. Three recent carbon dioxide potential energy hypersurfaces have been investigated. Calculated values for the rotational collision number for all three intermolecular surfaces are consistent with the measurements and indicate that the temperature dependence of the Brau-Jonkman correlation is not applicable for carbon dioxide. The results for the depolarized Rayleigh scattering cross section and the nuclear spin relaxation cross section show that calculated values for the generally more successful potentials differ from the observations by 9% at about 290 K, although agreement is obtained for nuclear spin relaxation at about 400 K.     

Simultaneous determination of ondansetron and tropisetron in human plasma using HPLC with UV detection

A rapid and sensitive HPLC method for the simultaneous quantitation of ondansetron and tropisetron, two serotonin (5-HT) receptor antagonists frequently used in treatment and prevention of nausea and emesis, is described. The procedure involves liquid-liquid extraction of human plasma with dichloromethane coupled with reversed-phase HPLC and UV detection. The lower limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.62 ng/mL for ondansetron and 1.25 ng/mL or tropisetron. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation ranged from 1.5 to 7.5% and 5.3 to 13.7%, respectively. The sensitivity and precision were sufficient for determination of plasma concentrations after therapeutic administration of both drugs and the method can be used for the estimation of pharmacokinetic parameters.     

Coordination Chemistry of Acrylamide: 1. Cobalt(II) Chloride Complexes with Acrylamide – Synthesis and Crystal Structures

The molecular structures of blue dichloro‐tetrakis(acrylamide) cobalt(II), [Co{O‐OC(NH₂)CH=CH₂}₄Cl₂] ( 1 ) and pink hexakis(acrylamide)cobalt(II) tetrachlorocobaltate(II), [Co{O‐OC‐(NH₂)CH=CH₂}₆][CoCl₄] ( 2 ), characterized by single X‐ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy and elemental analyses, are described. The coordination of Co^II in 1 involves a tetragonally distorted octahedral structure with four O‐donor atoms of acrylamide in the equatorial positions and two chloride ions in the apical positions. The second complex 2 in ionic form contains Co^II cations surrounded by an octahedral array of O‐coordinated acrylamide ligands, accompanied by a [CoCl₄]^2? anion.     

HoClTe2O5: Ein tellurdioxidreiches Holmium(III)‐Chlorid‐Oxotellurat(IV)

HoClTe₂O₅: A Telluriumdioxide‐rich Holmium(III) Chloride Oxotellurate(IV) While attempting to synthesize anionically derivatized holmium oxotellurates by reacting holmium chloride (HoCl₃) with tellurium oxide (TeO₃; molar ratio 1 : 3, 800°C 10 d) in evacuated silica ampoules, transparent, greenish yellow and coarse single crystals of holmium(III) chloride oxotellurate(IV) HoClTe₂O₅ (triclinic, P1; a = 762.07(6), b = 796.79(6), c = 1010.36(8) pm, α = 100.987(4), ß = 99.358(4), γ = 91.719(4)°; Z = 4) were obtained. The crystal structure contains eightfold coordinated (Ho1)³⁺ (only surrounded by oxygen atoms) and sevenfold coordinated (Ho2)³⁺ cations (surrounded by one chloride and six oxide anions). Each sort of holmium polyhedra convenes independently to chains along [100] by edge‐sharing which again combine alternately via O6 and O9 to form ²{[Ho₂O₁₀(Cl1)]^15—} layers parallel (001). Each of the four crystallographically different Te⁴⁺ cations are surrounded by three close oxygen atoms (d(Te—O) = 188 — 195 pm) and always one more situated further away. The stereochemical activity of the non‐bonding electron pairs (“lone pairs”) leads to ψ¹‐trigonal bipyramidal coordination figures. The ψ¹‐tetrahedral [TeO₃]^2— basic units form discrete [Te₂O₅]^2— doubles with ecliptic conformation which are arranged in a fish‐bone pattern parallel to (001) on both sides of the ²{[Ho₂O₁₀Cl]^15—} layers. The coherence of the ²{[Ho₂(Cl1)Te₄O₁₀]⁺} layers is exclusively maintained via Cl2—Te1 contacts with an extraordinary long distance of 335 pm. As (Cl1)^— belongs to the coordination sphere of (Ho2)³⁺ and (Cl2)^— is only surrounded by Te⁴⁺, the compound should be correctly named holmium(III) chloride oxochlorotellurate(IV) Ho₂Cl[Te₄O₁₀Cl] (Z = 2).
