Rapid determination of protein in plant material by flow injection spectrophotometry with trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid

The rapid determination of protein in plant material based on spectrophotometric determination of amino acids in protein hydrolysates with trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid has been adapted to flow injection analysis. With the manifold described, a routine sampling rate of 120 samples/h is possible, though this, as well as sensitivity, can easily be varied. The method was calibrated against the Kjeldahl method and a good correlation was obtained between the two methods over a wide range of protein values for beans.     

The Kissinger law and isokinetic effect: Part II. Experimental analysis

On the basis of copper sulphate pentahydrate thermal dissociation, for analyzed reactions I to IV, 6 thermokinetic equations was discussed. Arrhenius law parameters were determined and the isokinetic effect (IE) and Kissinger law appearing was analyzed. It was found that only dependence resulting from isokinetic effect, in the form k _m=q/T _m, relates to the suitable thermokinetic Eq. (2) and Kissinger law in modified form (14). The confirmation was made that the possibility of determining the averaged activation energy from thermokinetic equations using suitable correction coefficients exists.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Reactions of 5-cyano-1,4,6,9-trioxathia-5-phosphaspiro[4,4]nonanes with compounds containing a labile hydrogen atom

All the investigated reactions of 5-cyano-1,4,6,9-trioxathia-5-phosphaspiro[4,4]nonanes with compounds containing a labile hydrogen atom proceed with the loss of HCN, predominant opening of the oxathiophospholane ring, and formation of 2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane derivatives.A.

Synthesis and properties of functional derivatives ofN′-phosphoryl- andN′-phosphonoyldiazeneN-oxides; molecular structure ofN-(2,2-dimethyl-5-nitro-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-N′-[methoxy(phenyl)phosphoryl]diazeneN-oxide

Methods for the synthesis of polyfunctionalN-phosphoryl- andN-phosphonoyldiazeneN-oxides containing hydroxyl, acetoxyl, and nitrate groups, and dibromoallyl and dibromopropyl fragments have been developed. The molecular structure ofN-(2,2-dimethyl-5-nitro-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-N-[methoxy(phenyl)phosphoryl)diazeneN-oxide was established by X-ray structural analysis.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Calculation of the proton affinities of polyfluorobenzenes and the activation energies for 1,2-hydrogen shifts in their carbocations

Isolated polyfluorobenzene (PFB) molecules and their protonated forms are investigated by the AM1 method with full geometry optimization. The proton affinities of PFB are estimated for different protonated positions. The proton affinity of PFB averaged over all isomers is shown to decrease monotonically as the number of fluorine atoms in the molecule increases. The relative populations of different isomers of arenonium ions (AI) formed by PFB protonation are determined. From the calculated data, the value of ⁺ for the F atom in theipso-position is estimated as 1.00. The activation energies of the 1,2-hydrogen shifts in AI are calculated. The dependences of the proton affinity and the activation energies of 1,2-hydrogen shifts on the number of halogen atoms are found to have distinct characters for PFB and polychlorobenzenes. The physical reasons for these difference are discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 1878–1882, November, 1993.     

Synthesis and reactivity of thieno[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridine-2,3-diamines

It has been established that the interaction of N¹-(2-hydroxyphenylmethylthieno[2,3-b]pyrid-3-yl)arylamides with hydrazine hydrate leads to thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2,3-diamines. It was shown that the reaction of the latter with acetylacetone and acetoacetic ester occurs regioselectively at the amino group in position 3 of the thiophene ring. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1400–1408, September, 2007.     

4-(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N</Emphasis>-Dialkylthiocarbamoylthio)-5-nitropyrimidines as new potential nitric oxide donors

On heating at pH 6.86, 4-(N,N-dialkylthiocarbamoylthio)-5-nitropyrimidines are transformed into dithiolopyrimidines, which are either oxidized to bis(4-dialkylthiocarbamoylpyrimidin-5-yl) disulfides or converted into 4,6-diamino-5-nitropyrimidine derivatives with carbon disulfide elimination. The direction of the reaction is determined by the nature of a substituent in position 2 of pyrimidine and the bulk of the thiocarbamate substituent. Mechanistic schemes for these processes were proposed. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2777–2783, December, 2005.     

Charge equilibria and pK values of 5-carboxypyranomalvidin-3-glucoside (vitisin A) by electrophoresis and absorption spectroscopy

Apparent pK values of the wine pigment, 5-carboxypyranomalvidin-3-glucoside (vitisin A), were determined using UV-vis spectroscopy, viz. pK_a1=0.98 (±0.10), pK_H1=4.51 (±0.03) and pK_H2=7.57 (±0.02). An additional ionisation constant at high pH (pK_a4=8.84±0.06) was established by high-voltage paper electrophoresis. These data in conjunction with previously published pK_a values determined by high-voltage electrophoresis suggest that in wine (pH 3.2-3.8), 5-carboxypyranomalvidin-3-glucoside exists as a complex mixture of hydrated and non-hydrated, partially ionised species with the predominant species being the quinonoidal base (λ_max 498 nm).
