Reaction of 1-germatranol hydrate with carboxylic acids

Reaction of 1-germatranol hydrate with carboxylic acids RCOOH (R = ClCH₂, PhCH=CH, Ph, 2-FC₆H₄, 3-BrC₆H₄, 3-HOC₆H₄, 3-EtOC₆H₄) in protic (CH₃OH, iso-C₅H₁₁OH) and aprotic polar solvent (CH₃CN) is studied. 1-Acyloxygermatranes RC(O)OGe(OCH{in2}CH{in2}){in3}N are formed in yields from 11 to ~100 % depending on the nature of the acid, solvent, duration of the process and the method of its completion. The reaction is the most effective in acetonitrile. Its topochemical completion (heating of the reaction residue in a vacuum) increases the yield of 1-acyloxygermatranes.     

Acylation of 1-methoxy-3-methyl-1-triazene 2-oxide

Chlorides and anhydrides of carboxylic (including dicarboxylic) acids react with salts of 1-methoxy-3-methyl-1-triazene 2-oxides to give the corresponding 3-acyl-1-methoxy-3-methyl-1-triazene 2-oxides.     

Acetylenic derivatives of betulonic acid amide as a new type of compounds possessing spasmolytic activity

Efficient and versatile synthetic procedures towards novel derivatives of betulonic acid via Mannich reaction, Sonogashira cross-coupling, and copper(i)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cyclo-additions were developed. Introduction of secondary amines (Mannich reaction) into betulonic acid amides led to derivatives possessing marked spasmolytic activity, which is not characteristic of the triterpene fragment.     

Crystal associates of 18-crown-6 and polyfluoro(het)arylenediamines: structure,properties, and selectivity of formation

The new group of objects in crystal engineering, namely, 1 : 1 associates of polyfluoro(het)arylenediamines and 18-crown-6, being supramolecular 1D assemblies, is considered. Diamine isomerism is shown to serve as a design tool for control of the supramolecular architecture, and the nature of the aromatic framework and location and volume of substituents determine linear dimensions of the elementary unit in an assembly. A linear dependence of the enthalpy of melting of co-crystals on the length of the assembly unit is observed in the series of the meta-(het)arylenediamine and 18-crown-6 associates. The effect of selective co-crystallization of polyfluoroarylenediamines with crown ether is used in practice for the isolation of high-purity compounds from mixtures of products of the non-selective amination of basic polyfluoroarenes.     

Interaction of amorphous and crystalline nickel nanoparticles with hydrogen

Nickel nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of highly oriented pyrolytical graphite by laser electrodispersion and precipitation from a solution of reverse micelles. The particles were studied using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy as well as Auger spectroscopy. The elemental composition of the nanoparticles and specific features of the electronic structure of their surface were determined. Adsorption of molecular hydrogen was also studied.

Exact solutions to magnetogasdynamic equations in Lagrangian coordinates

The Lie group of point transformations, which leave the equations for a simplified model of one dimensional ideal gas in magnetogasdynamics invariant, are used to obtain some exact solutions for the governing system of hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Similarity variables which reduces the governing system of PDEs into system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are determined through the transformations. The resulting ODEs are solved analytically to obtain some exact solutions that exhibits space-time dependence. Further, we study the propagation of weak discontinuity through a state characterized by one of the solutions.
