High-vacuum pyrolysis of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethane. IR spectrum of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-chloroethyl radical in an argon matrix

The products of high-vacuum pyrolysis of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethane were studied by matrix IR spectroscopy. The decomposition of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethane was shown to occur predominantlyvia two directions: to form the 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-chloroethyl radical and trifluoromethylcarbene isomerizing to trifluoroethylene. The CF₃CHCl radical has been detected in the matrix for the first time. The bands observed in the IR spectrum were calculated by the quantum-chemical B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) method and assigned to normal vibrations of the radical. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis of 1-Bromo-3-methoxy-4-propoxy-5-iodobenzene——A Novel Efficient Process for the Synthesis of Brominated Aromatic Compound

The reaction of aromatic carboxylic acid with oxalyl chloride gives rise to the corresponding acid chloride which without purification is treated with the sodium salt of mercaptopyridine oxide in the presence of 2,2-azo-bisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), radical initiator to give a brominated aromatic compound. After etherification and oxidation, 5-iodovaniline was converted to trisubstituted benzene carboxylic acid which give 1-bromo-3-methoxy-4-propoxy-5-iodobenzene by this new brominating process with a yield of 74%.     

The Substituent Effects of tert-Butyl Radical Addition to 2-Substituted Allyl Chlorides

The relative rates for the addition reactions of tert-butyl radical to 2-substituted ally chlorides I have een determined. The correlation of log k/k₀, vs. σ_m gives a ρ mvalue of 3.59 with correlation coefficient of 0.930. When the substituent CH₂Cl is excluded, correlation coefficient raises to 0.990 and ρ value becomes 3.39. The large p value and the deviation of relative rate of substituent CH₂C1 are discussed.

Reactions of isomeric 3,6- and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinones with NH3

The interaction of 3,6-di-tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinone (1) and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinone (2) with NH₃ in water—alcohol medium and with (NH₄)₂CO₃ in a solid phase has been studied. Redox processes with participation of a nucleophile of the medium take place for1, while2 reacts with NH₃ at the carbonyl group with transformation of the quinone imide. The mechanism of redox transformation of1 has been proposed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Thermotropic gelation of ovalbumin 1. Viscoelastic properties of gels as a function of heating conditions and protein concentration at various pH values

A study has been undertaken of stress relaxation in ovalbumin thermotropic gels with a concentration of 8–20%, depending on time and temperature of heating (respectively, 20–60 min, 70°–110°C), at pH 2.5–10.0. In all instances, the dependence of the initial gel elasticity modulus on heating has a single maximum. Gelation conditions corresponding to this maximum are considered optimal. Optimal gelation time is 30 min, regardless of pH. On the other hand, the optimal heating temperature depends on pH. To the right and left of the isoelectric point of protein (2.5pH<4.0 and 5.5G) of gels on heating conditions, pH and protein concentration (X ₁,X ₂,X ₃,X ₄), as well as on time of relaxation (t) may be generally described asG(X ₁,X ₁,X ₁,X ₁,t)=G _e(X ₁,X ₂,X ₃,X ₄)f(t), whereG _e is the equilibrium value of the elasticity modulus, and f(t) the relaxation function. Thus, a change in the parameters only affects the value of the equilibrium elasticity modulus, and exerts no effect on the relaxation time spectrum. For this reason, all the relaxation curves obtained may be transformed into two normalized relaxation functions:f(t)=f(t)/f(1)=G(X ₁,X ₂,X ₃,X ₄,t)/G(X ₁,X ₂,X ₃,X ₄, 1)Each of these normalized functions corresponds to one of the homologous groups. Rheological similarity of gels in each homologous group evidently points to their structural similarity. Invariance of the gel relaxationproperties with regard to protein concentration, leads to a concentration dependence of the equilibrium modulus at various pH values. These dependences are curvilinear on a double logarithmic scale. The slope of the curve exceeds 2 in the entire concentration interval studied. In other words, the dependences obtained cannot be described by the usual law of squares. On the other hand, they adequately match Hermans theoretical relation for a network formed by random association of identical polyfunctional particles without cyclization. This simple model evidently gives a true picture of the major regularities of thermotropic gelation for ovalbumin. An agreement between this theory and experiment was achieved for a protein concentration ofC ^*=6.0±1.0% at the gel point regardless of pH. Invariance of gelpoint position with regards to pH demands further confirmation.List of symbols T _h,t _h heating temperature and time - T _h ^* ,t _h ^* optimal heating temperature and time - C protein concentration - C ^* protein concentration in gel-point - G relaxation modulus - G _e equilibrium modulus - f(t) relaxation function - t time of relaxation - f(t) normalized relaxation function - fT _A (t), f _B (t) normalized relaxation functions of groups A and B - G ₁ T _h,t _h-reduced modulus - G ₂ T _h,t _h, pH-reduced modulus - G ₃ C-reduced modulus - b ₁ T _h, t_h reduction parameter of modulus - b ₂ pH reduction parameter of modulus - b ₃ C reduction parameter of modulus - W_g gel-fraction     

HSCCS自由基势能面的理论研究

在CCSD(T)/6-311G(d,f)//MP2/6-311G(d,f) ZPE水平下,计算得到含有8个异构体和11个过渡态的HSCCS自由基体系势能面,讨论了异构体的结构与稳定性及异构体之间的异构化过程.结果表明异构体m1的能量最低,除m1以外,异构体m2和m3的能量也比较低,在MP2水平上,过渡态TS1的能量比异构体m2仅高3.9kJ/mol,而在CCSD(T)水平上,TS1的能量比m2低14.6 kJ/mol,这说明异构体m2可以迅速转化为能量更低的m1.异构体m3的能量比异构体m1高49.99 kJ/mol,可以推断,在合适的实验条件下可以观测到异构体m1.     

Conductive characteristics of radical‐bearing polythiophenes using a microcomb‐shaped electrode

The electric conductivity of π‐conjugated and radical‐bearing polymers, i.e., polythiophenes bearing pendant galvinoxyl and phenoxyl radical groups, was measured using a microcomb‐shaped electrode. The electric conductivity was found to be enhanced by the radical content in the polymer. The infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopies suggested a structural change from an aromatic form to a quinoid one in the polythiophene backbone by the phenoxyl radical generation. The effect of the pendant galvinoxyl radical's unpaired electron on the electric conductivity of the polythiophene was discussed by comparing the conductivity of a radical‐bearing polystyrene and a polythiophene mixed with low‐molecular radical molecules.
