Synthesis of Six-Membered Compounds by Environmentally Friendly Cyclization Using Indirect Electrolysis

[Ni(cyclam)](ClO(4))(2)-catalyzed indirect electroreduction of olefinic bromides produced six-membered compounds in low to high yields. The synthetic intermediate 49 of Ipecac and Corynanthe alkaloids was obtained in 88% yield in a highly stereoselective manner. Lactam 66, the synthetic precursor of tacamonine, was prepared in 49% yield as a mixture of two diastereoisomers. The electrolysis of the bromoacetates gave the debrominated compounds in good yields.     

Snytheses of analgesics. Part XXXVII. An alternative synthesis of 1,2,3,4, 5, 6-hexahydro-8-hydroxy-2,6-methano-6, h-dimethyl-3-phenethyl-3-benzazoeine [studies on the syntheses of heterocyclic compounds. Part DXXI]

Acid treatment of the alkylated products of (Va, Vb, and VIII) of piperidinols IVa and IVb, and tetrahydropyridine VII with β-bromoethylbenzene, afforded 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-8-hydroxy-2,6-methano-6,1 1-dimethyl-3-phenethyl-3-benzazocine (la) in good yield. Piperidinols Va and Vb were also obtained from the reaction of N-(3-methyl-3-pentenyl)-β-phenethylamine (IIb) with methyl 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-epoxypropionate.     

Magnetic behavior of Fe0.2Mg0.8TiO3 and Fe0.3Mg0.7TiO3 probed by Mössbauer timescale

Magnetization and Mössbauer measurements have been made on a diluted antiferromagnets Fe_xMg_1?xTiO₃ with x=0.2, 0.3 and 0.7. It has been demonstrated that this system exhibits a spin glass or a reentrant spin glass like behavior in the samples with x around the percolation concenrration x_c≈0.25. It has been shown that various sizes of magnetic clusters are formed well above the transition temperatures determined by the magnetization measurements in the samples with x near x_c. The behavior of Fe_0.2Mg_0.8TiO₃ is discussed as a typical cluster glass.     

Systematics of Mössbauer parameters in Fe57-doped titanate and germanate ilmenites

The Mössbauer spectra of ilmenite (FeTiO₃), Fe²⁺-doped ilmenites, MTiO₃ (M = Cd, Mn, Zn, Co, Mg and Ni) and MGeO₃ (M = Mn, Zn and Mg), have been studied from 4.2 K to room temperature. Systematic variations in the isomer shift and quadrupole splitting at room temperature are correlated with the change in ionic radii of the host M ions and the c/a ratio of the host crystal, respectively. The quadrupole splittings show a remarkable temperature variation; the magnetic ilmenites show either a sudden increase or a sudden decrease of quadrupole splittings below the Néel temperature, depending on the orientation of the spin axis with respect to the c axis.     

Novel methylation. III. Methylation of tertiary amines such as pyridine and isoquinoline with alkyl carboxylates

The alkylation of tertiary amines, namely, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, triethylamine, pyridine and isoquinoline with various alkyl carboxylates was investigated. This reaction afforded the corresponding quarternary ammonium salts, e.g., methylation of 2-dimethyl-aminoethanol with methyl salicylate.     

Syntheses of analgesics. Part XXX.. Conformational studies of diastereoisomeric quaternary ammonium salts of 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexahydro-2,6-methano-3-benzazocines

The configuration of the quaternary ammonium salts (Va and Vb) from 3-benzyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-8-hydroxy-6,11-dimethyl-2,6-methano-3-benzazocine. (II) and 3-methyl-2-butenyl bromide was determined spectroscopically. Moreover, configurational studies on 3-benzyl (VIa and VIb) and 3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)benzazocinium bromides (VIIa and VIIb) were also achieved.     

Cluster-glass like behavior of the diluted antiferromagnet Fe0.26Zn0.74F2

The temperature variations of magnetizations and Mössbauer spectra of the diluted antiferromagnet Fe_0.26Zn_0.74F₂ have been studied. It has been shown that the temperature variation of the Mössbauer spectra is nicely explained in an aspect of dynamical behavior of the antiferromagnetic (AF) clusters. By combining the results of the magnetization and Mössbauer measurements, it is inferred that the spin-glass like freezing of the AF clusters, but not individual spins, occurs atT _f=9.7 K.
