The synthesis of 1,4-diazacycl[3,2,2]azine

The diazaanalog of “cycl[3,2,2]azine”, “1,4-diazacycl[3,2,2]azine” (1,4,7b-triazacyclopent-[cd]indene) and its 2-methyl derivative were prepared. These compounds are subject to facile acid-catalyzed hydrolysis affording substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines.     

Structure of the products of the cyclization in acetic anhydride of β-(2-carboxy-5-chlorophenylamino) propionic acid and its nitrile

-(2-Carboxy-5-chlorophenylamino)propionic acid cyclizes in acetic anhydride to form 4-chloro-2-(2,4-dioxopiperidino)benzoic acid, which subsequently undergoes conversion into its lactone. Under the same conditions, -[acetyl(2-carboxy-5-chlorophenyl)amino]-propionitrile forms 7-chloro-1--cyanoethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-2,4-dione. The structures of the compounds obtained were confirmed by their IR, UV, and PMR spectra. An evaluation of the stability of the ketonic and enolic forms of the compounds obtained on the basis of calculations by Hückel's method has been made.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 7, pp. 879–884, July, 1970.     

Peculiar features of application of pH gradients formed in borate buffer with a polyhydroxy compound for separation of proteins in a free-flow electrophoretic apparatus

The use of pH gradients in borate buffer with a polyhydroxy compound for separation of proteins in a free-flow electrophoretic apparatus is outlined. The composition of the pH gradients, the free-flow apparatus design and its operation, and the main causes of failures in the protein separation are considered.     

The role of dimeric molecules of metalloporphyrins in phototransfer of an electron through liposome membranes

Conclusions Charge separation in solutions of liposomes sensitized by MP at low temperatures and apparently also at 20°C takes place according to a mechanism of two-quantum photoionization of dimeric molecules of the metalloporphyrins.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 277–282, February, 1985.     

Photochemical reduction of organic electron acceptors in aqueous solutions

Conclusions The formation of OH radicals in the photoreduction of aqueous solutions of anthraquinonesulfonic acid as the result of electron transfer from water (OH^–) to a triplet molecule has been demonstrated.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2615–2617, November, 1969.
