N-[2(3)-Hydroxyalkylj-4-thiazolidinones have been synthesized by the reaction of 2(3)-vinyloxyalkylamines with mercaptoacetic acid in 24–69 % yield. The structure of the compounds obtained was supported by (R and¹H NMR spectroscopic data.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 677–679, March, 1996.     

Additive telluromolybdates. Structure and catalysis in oxidation

Additive telluromolybdates, MoO₃·2TeO₂ and M^IIO·TeO₂·MoO₃ (M^IITeMoO₆; M^II = Co, Mn, Zn), converted ethyl lactate selectively to pyruvate in a vaporphase fixedbed flow system at 250–300 °C. A synergy in activity was observed for binary TeO₂–MoO₃, and crystalline Te₂MoO₇ was suggested as the active species. The Rietveld analysis of powder XRD patterns of ternary CoTeMoO₆ revealed the layer structure quite different from that of the reference Te₂MoO₇, but tellurium was again located adjacent to molybdenum linked through lattice oxygen.     

Polyfluorinated hydrazones in organic synthesis

A preparative one-step method for the synthesis of 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-4-trifluoromethylpentane-2,3-dione dihydrazone from perfluoro-4-methylpent-2-ene and hydrazine hydrate has been developed. Oxidation of this dihydrazone with bromine in water gives 3-diazo-1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-4-trifluoromethylpentane-2-one. The same product is obtained from 3-hydrazono-1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-4-trifluoromethylpentane-2-one under similar conditions.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Nitropyrazoles

The double Vilsmeier formylation of theC-methyl group in pyrazole derivatives has been shown to occur when a nitro-group is in the adjacent position of the ring. A method for the synthesis ofC-(diformylmethyl)nitropyrazoles based on this reaction has been developed.For the previous communication, see Ref. 1; for Part 2, see Ref.2 Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Physico-chemical studies on the chelation behaviour of biologically active 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde semicarbazone (HNAS) with some lanthanons

Summary The chelation behaviour of the complexes of La³⁺, Ce³⁺, Pr³⁺, Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺, Eu³⁺, Gd³⁺, Y³⁺, Tb³⁺, Dy³⁺, Ho³⁺ with biologically active 2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde semicarbazone (HNAS) has been studied potentiometrically in 75% (v/v) dioxane-water medium at various ionic strengths. The method of Bjerrum and Calvin, as modified by Irving and Rossotti has been used to find out the values of n andpL. The formation constants of metal chelates and the values ofS _min have been calculated. The order of formation constants of chelates was found to be: La³⁺3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+.

Importance of the isopropylidene terminal of geranylgeranyl group for the formation of tetraether lipid in methanogenic archaea

Labeling experiments using several deuterated lipids were pursued to study the biosynthesis of macrocyclic isoprenoidal lipids of thermophilic methanogenic archaea, Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus. The isopropylidene terminal of geranylgeranyl group of monomeric precursor appeared to be important for the CC bond formation at the hydrophobic end in the macrocyclic lipids. A mechanism involving a radical trigger at the allylic methyl group is proposed for this CC bond formation.     

Nanowire‐Based Electrochemical Biosensors

We review recent advances in biosensors based on one‐dimensional (1‐D) nanostructure field‐effect transistors (FET). Specifically, we address the fabrication, functionalization, assembly/alignment and sensing applications of FET based on carbon nanotubes, silicon nanowires and conducting polymer nanowires. The advantages and disadvantages of various fabrication, functionalization, and assembling procedures of these nanosensors are reviewed and discussed. We evaluate how they have been used for detection of various biological molecules and how such devices have enabled the achievement of high sensitivity and selectivity with low detection limits. Finally, we conclude by highlighting some of the challenges researchers face in the 1‐D nanostructures research arena and also predict the direction toward which future research in this area might be directed.
