Protolytic reactions of 3,3'-dimethylnaphthidine and 3,3'-dimethoxybenzidine

The dissociation constants of diprotonated 3,3'-dimethylnaphthidine (DMN) and 3,3'-dimethoxybenzidine (DMB) have been determined spectrophotometrically. They are: pK(a1) = 2.62 +/- 0.03, pK(a2) = 3.33 +/- 0.09 for DMN: pK(a1) = 2.83 +/- 0.07, pK(a2) = 4.05 +/- 0.12 for DMB. The molar absorptivities (l.mole(-1).cm(-1)) of all forms of the indicators have been also determined: epsilon(B) = 1.68 x 10(4), epsilon(BH(+)) = 9.34 x 10(3), epsilon(BH(2+)(2)) = 1.80 x 10(3) at 300 nm for DMB; epsilon(B) = 7.33 x 10(3), epsilon(BH(+)) = 3.73 x 10(3), epsilon(BH(2+)(2)) = 0 at 330 nm for DMN.     

Five-membered-ring-substituted 1-methyl-1H-indeno[1,2-b]pyridines

1-Methyl-1H-indeno[1,2-b]pyridine and 1-methyl-1H-5-(, -dicarbomethoxyvinyl)-(formyl, acetyl)indeno[3,2-b]pyridines were obtained by treatment of N-methyl-4-azafluorenium iodide, as well as mixtures of it with acetylenedicarboxylic ester, dimethylformamide (DMF), and phosphorus oxychloride or acetic anhydride, with bases. 4-Azafluoronenone was used to synthesize 9-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4-azafluoren-9-ol, which was reduced to 9-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4-azafluorene, and 1-methyl-1H-5-(p-methoxyphenyl)indeno[3,2-b]pyridine was obtained from the methiodide of the latter.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1382–1386, October, 1981.     

The determination of traces of ammonium-nitrogen in aqueous solution by optical emission spectrometry with a high-frequency inductively coupled argon plasma source

A method for the determination of low levels of ammonium ion in solution by optical emission spectrometry with an inductively coupled argon plasma source operated at 27 MHz is presented. The ammonium ion is oxidized with sodium hypobromite in alkaline medium, the evolved nitrogen is passed into the argon plasma, and the NH emission intensity produced in the plasma at 336.0 nm is monitored. A practical detection limit of 0.1 μg N ml^-1 for 5-ml aqueous sample solutions has been obtained. The method has been applied to the determination of the exchangeable ammonium content of soil samples.     

Synthesis of derivatives of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines condensed with tetrahydropyran and tetrahydrothiopyran

Methods have been developed for obtaining derivatives of W-amino(oxo)-, 8,10-dioxo-, and 10-amino-8-oxo(thio)pyrano(thiopyrano) [4,3:4,5]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine on the basis of 3-amino(benzylamino)-4-cyano (carbamoyl)pyrano(thiopyrano)[3,4-c]-pyridines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1683–1687, December, 1993.     

New approach to the synthesis of 3-amino-1,2-benzothiazine 1,1-dioxides

The possibility of obtaining 3-amino-1,2-benzothiazine 1,1-dioxides by nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom in 5-nitro-2-chlorobenzenesulfonamides by carbanions generated from substituted acetonitriles was studied.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 264–266, February, 1992.
