Comparison of theory and experiment for excited singlet states of the H2 molecule

This paper presents a survey of published and unpublished ab initio calculations of the vibrational structures of the ten lowest electronic singlet states of the hydrogen molecule up to the H(n = 1) + H(n = 2) dissociation limit. The data are based on adiabatic potential functions (clamped-nuclei electronic energies and nuclear-mass-dependent diagonal corrections). Nonadiabatic coupling has been treated ab initio within the five states. of ¹Λ symmetry (X,EF, GK, HH?) and ¹Σ I.¹Π_g. The accuracies of the theoretical energies are determined by comparisons with experimental data for H₂, HD, and D₂. The level shifts and predissociation probabilities of the excited ¹Σ states, generated by nonadiabatic coupling with the discrete and continuous vibrational structure of the ground state, and radiative properties have also been calculated.

Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of acids and phenols in distilled alcohol beverages. Application of anion-exchange disk extraction combined with in-vial elution and silylation

A GC-MS protocol for profiling spirits, based on 19 acids and phenolic compounds, has been proposed and evaluated. The method combined a simple preconcentration procedure based on solid-phase (anion-exchange) disk extraction, and in-vial elution and silylation of the analytes. The derivatized extract was directly injected into the GC-MS system. These analytes were: C6, C8, C10, C12 acids, pyruvic acid, 2-furoic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, glutaric acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, vanillin, syringaldehyde, coniferaldehyde, vanillic acid and gallic acid. The profiles of six different spirits were found reproducible from day-to-day with <20% RSD for measurements of most of the analytes at different concentrations. Recoveries of individual analytes appear to be affected by the level of tannins in the spirits, and they varied from sample to sample. The method of standard addition was used to quantify age-related analytes. Good linearity of response with correlation coefficients in the range of 0.992-0.999 was obtained. The results of the study indicate that for spirits of the same brand but of different ages, the amounts of these analytes appear to increase with the ageing period.     

Molecular characteristics of the inhibition of human neutrophil elastase by nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) are known as clinically effective agents for treatment of inflammatory diseases. Inhibition of cyclooxygenase has been thought to be a major facet of the pharmacological mechanism of NSAIDs. However, it is difficult to ascribe the antiinflammatory effects of NSAIDs solely to the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Human neutrophil elastase (HNElastase; HNE, EC 3.4.21.37) has been known as a causative factor in inflammatory diseases. To investigate the specific relationship between HNElastase inhibition and specificity of molecular structure of several NSAIDs, HNElastase was purified by Ultrogel AcA54 gel filtration, CM-Sephadex ion exchange, and HPLC (with TSK 250 column) chromatography. HNElastase was inhibited by aspirin and salicylate in a competitive manner and by naproxen, ketoprofen, phenylbutazone, and oxyphenbutazone in a partial competative manner, but not by ibuprofen and tolmetin. HNElastase-phenylbutazone-complex showed strong Raman shifts at 200, 440, 1124, 1194, 1384, 1506, and 1768 cm(-1). The Raman bands 1194, 1384, and 1768 cm(-1) may represent evidences of the conformational change at -N=N-phi radical, pyrazol ring, and -C=O radical of the elastase-drug complex, respectively. Phenylbutazone might be bound to HNElastase by ionic and hydrophobic interaction, and masked the active site. Inhibition of HNElastase could be another mechanism of action of NSAIDs besides cyclooxygenase inhibition in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Different inhibition characteristics of HNE-lastase by NSAIDs such as aspirin, phenylbutazone-like drugs and ineffective drugs could be important points for drawing the criteria for appropriate drugs in clinical application.     

Synthesis of racemic and optically active Δ1- and Δ6-3,4-cis-tetrahydrocannabinols1

Three syntheses of the hitherto unknown (±)-Δ⁶-3,4-cis-THC 4a and the first total synthesis of optically active Δ¹- and Δ⁶-cis-THC's are described. These syntheses utilize a stereospecific intramolecular epoxide opening by phenolate anion; an acid catalyzed equilibration of Δ¹- and Δ⁶-cis-THC acetates; and a kinetically controlled dehydration. The use of HPLC, GLC and NMR for the separation and identification of closely related THC's is discussed.

Polychlorinated compounds and their use for the gas-chromatographic determination of elements in the ng-rangeI. Polychlorinated xanthates and their use for the determination of nickel

Ten chelates of polychlorinated xanthates were investigated by thin-layer chromatography. Their R_f-values were determined on silica gel and aluminium oxide for several different eluents. At 200° C the xanthates pyrolize momentarily and reproducibly to the corresponding alcohol, allowing the perchlorinated ligands to be utilized for the determination of metals by electron capture gas-chromatography.Combining thin-layer chromatography and the pyrolyzing technique nanogram amounts of mixtures of metals can be determined.

Production of phosphorylated mercaptals of chloral

Conclusions By reaction between dialkyl phosphorous acid chlorides and 2,2,2-trichloro-1-hydroxyethyl alkyl sulfides (hemimercantals of chloral) the corresponding phosphites were obtained. These phosphites can be oxidized to phosphates; they react with sulfur forming the corresponding thiophosphates.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1159–1161, May, 1970.     

Analytical application and spectrophotometric study of the scandium-indoferron complex

A new spectrophotometric method for microgram amounts of scandium with indoferron is described. The molar absorptivity is 960 l.mole⁻¹.mm⁻¹ at 600 nm. Uranium and the rare earths do not interfere, if present in amounts less than 50 μg. Scandium in silicate rocks can be determined by the procedure after separation of the scandium by a three-stage ion-exchange Chromatographic technique. The acid dissociation constants of indoferron and conditional formation constants of the 1:2 complex have been determined spectrophotometrically.     

Chemistry of thienopyridines. VII. Mechanistic studies on the synthesis of thieno[2,3-c] pyridine by thermolytic cyclization

A study was made of the formation of thieno[2,3-c]pyridine (1) from hydrogen sulfide and 4-vinylpyridine in a flow system at 630°. 2-(4-Pyridyl)ethanethiol and bis-2-(4-pyridyl)ethyl sulfide were found to be likely intermediates. Based on these studies, there was devised a two-step practical preparative method for I (optimum overall yield 58%) which consists of preliminary conversion of 4-vinylpyridine to benzyl 2-(4-pyridyl)ethyl sulfide and subsequent thermolysis (at 605°) of this substance.
