Magydardiendiol,diterpenoid with a new skeleton from magydaris panacifolia (umbelliferae).

Three new diterpenoids with a substituted α-cyclogeraniol skeleton have been isolated from the umbelliferae $\text{Magydaris panacifolia}$ (Vahl) Lange, for which the names of magydar-2,13-dien-11,17-diol, $\text{1}$, magydar-2,10 (20), 13-trien-17-ol, $\text{2}$, and magydar-2,10(20), 13-trien-17-yl acetate, $\text{3}$, are proposed. The structures of these substances have been deduced from spectroscopic and chemical data.     

The behaviour of alkylcobalt carbonyls under “oxo” conditions

Both normal and secondary alkylcobalt carbonyls are shown not to undergo isomerization under catalytic “oxo” conditions, and the relevance of this obervation for the mechanism of the “oxo” reaction is discussed.     

Minor components with the γ-cyclogeranil geraniol skeleton from Bellardia trixago (L.) all.

Trixagol 1 and fourteen derivatives with the skeleton of γ-cyclogeranil geraniol were isolated from Bellardia trixago, the structures were determined by spectroscopic methods and confirmed by partial synthesis. Furthermore. 3,4-dihydro-γ-ionone, α-ambrinol, β-sitosterol and three flavonoids 5-O-demethyl tangeretin, 5-hydroxy auranetin and 3′-methoxy calycopterin were also isolated.

Subbundles of maximal degree of the normal bundle of algebraic space curves almost complete intersection of special type

Summary LetX⊂P ³ be an irreducible smooth curve which is not a complete intersection. The main result of this paper shows that whenX is an a.c.i. of special type, i.e. its homogeneous ideal is generated by three polynomial of the same degreem, and additionallym>2, the subbundles of maximal degree of the normal bundle ofX inP ³ correspond to the singular points of maximal multiplicity of a plane curve which is the image ofX by a map (the linear system of the surfaces of minimal degree throughX). In particular this normal bundle is stable. The initial case of this family of curves, i.e. form=3, has been studied by E. Ballico-Ph. Ellia with different methods.

Riassunto SiaX⊂P ³ una curva irriducibile e liscia che non è una completa intersezione. Il risultato principale di questa Nota mostra che quandoX è una almost completa intersezione di tipo speciale, cioè il suo ideale omogeneo è generato minimamente da 3 polinomi dello stesso gradom, e, inoltre,m>2, i sottofibrati di grado massimo del fibrato normale diX inP ³ corrispondono ai punti singolari di molteplicità massima di una curva piana che è l’immagine diX tramite una mappa (il sistema lineare delle superficie di grado minimo passanti perX). In particolare questo fibrato normale è stabile. Il caso iniziale di questa famiglia di curve, i.e. perm=3, è stato studiato da E. Ballico-Ph. Ellia con differenti metodi.

Spectra and hadronic couplings of light hermaphrodite mesons

We clarify the discrepancies of previous results for the masses and decay amplitudes of hermaphrodite mesons obtained from QCD sum rules. We study the case of the strange quark within a light quark expansion formalism. We find tht the hermaphrodite masses are much higher than the ones of their ordinary meson partners. Our values of the set of masses and continuum thresholds are compared with some other sum rule results. We analyze the hadronic couplings of the isovector 1^?+ exotic hermaprodite \(\tilde \rho \) using a three-point function sum rule evaluated at the symmetric euclidean point. We find that the \(\tilde \rho \) can be very broad and prefers to decay into ρπ andK ^* K. Its most characteristic decays are the ones into πγ, ηπ and μ′π. The former and the latter are of the order of (3～8) MeV.     

Nickel-Ruthenium Mixed-Metal Carbonyl Clusters Syntheses and Solid State Structures of the Two Tetrahedral Clusters [PPh4][NiRu3(μ3 H)(CO)9(μ-CO)3] and [NEt4]2[NiRu3(CO)8(μ-CO)4]

Redox condensation of [Ru₃H(CO)₁₁]- with Ni(CO)₄, in tetrahydrofuran solution, under a nitrogen atmosphere, yields the tetranuclear anion [NiRu_H(CO)₁₁)-. Subsequent deprotonation with Bu'OK in acetonitrile solution leads to the formation of the related dianion. Both anions have been characterized by spectroscopic techniques, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. [PPh₄][NiRu₃H(CO)₁₂] crystallizes in the triclinic space group PI with unit cell dimensionsof a = 11.842(2) Å,b = 12.335(3) Å, c = 13.3080) Å,a = 91.89(2)°, = 93.35(1)°,y = 96.41(2)°, Z = 2, V= 1926.9(7) Å'. The NiRu₃, metal core of the molecule defines a distorted tetrahedron with nine terminal and three edge bridging carbonyl groups. The hydrido ligand was located by difference Fourier techniques and was found to bridge the NiRu₂ basal triangle at a distance of 0.88(6) A from this plane. Selected average distances and angles are: Ru-Ru = 2.839 Å, Ru-Ni = 2.640 Å, Ru-C, = 1.910 A,Ru-C _b = 2.084 Å, Ni-C _b = 2.022 Å, Ru-H = 1.77 Å, C-0, = 1.135 Å, C-O _b = 1.159 Å, M-C-O, = 176.3°,M-C--O _b = 139.3°;other distances are: Ni-C₁ = l.758(7) Å, Ni-H= 1.85(7) Å. [NEt₄]₂[NiRu₃(CO)₁₂] crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (no. 62) with unit cell dimensions ofa=20.247(5) Å,b = 15.038(4)Å,c = 12.079(3) Å, Z=4, V=3678(2) A'. The molecule contains a tetrahedral NiRu₃ core with eight terminal and four edge bridging carbon monoxide groups which bridge the three Ni-Ru and one Ru-Ru bond. Average distances and angles are: Ru -Ru =2.3050A Ru-Ni 2.648 Å, Ru-C _t = 1.878 Å, Ru-C _b 2.045 Å, Ni-C _b = 2.055 Å, C-O _t = 1.145 Å, C-01,=1.157 Å, M-C-O,= 176.9°, M-C-O _b = 138.6°; other distance is: Ni-C _t = 1.754(10) Å,t = terminal,b = bridging.     

Pyridazine derivatives. Part 40: Reactivity of 5-alkynylpyridazin-3(2H)-ones toward hydrochloric acid

5-Alkynylpyridazin-3(2H)-ones or 5-(2-chloroalkenyl)pyridazin-3(2H)-ones were isolated during the cleavage of the methoxymethyl group in a series of 5-alkynyl-2-methoxymethylpyridazin-3(2H)-ones by treatment with hydrochloric acid. The efficient and selective cleavage of the methoxymethyl group in these compounds can be performed under mild conditions by employing aluminium chloride.
