The structure of the cations from 2– and 4-pyrimidones

An infrared spectral investigation of a number of pyrimidine and pyrimidone hexachloroantimonates is reported. Typical aromatic absorption bands found in pyrimidinium salts were absent in the pyrimidone cations. 2-And 4-Pyrimidone hexachloroantimonates, as well as their N-methyl- and N,N'-dimethyl derivatives, exhibit intense carbonyl absorption bands between 1720–1729 cm^?1 (solid state) which corroborates N-protonation of pyrimidones.     

High performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for simultaneous analysis of alkamides and caffeic acid derivatives from Echinacea purpurea extracts

Extracts of the plant Echinacea purpurea are widely used for medicinal purposes. Effective quality control of these extracts requires rapid methods to determine their chemical composition. A new method for analysis of caffeic acid derivatives and alkamides from Echinacea extracts has been developed. With this method, isomeric isobutylamides and 2-methylbutylamides can be distinguished, a capability that previously published methods have lacked. Quantitative analyses carried out with this method on E. purpurea extracts that have been stored for 18 months indicate that they contain caftaric acid, cichoric acid, and undeca-2Z,4E-diene-8,10-diynoic acid isobutylamide at concentrations of 0.7, 0.71 and 2.0mg/mL, respectively.     

The structure of the cations from 2– and 4-pyridones and related pyridines

An infrared spectral investigation of 2– and 4-pyridone hexachloroantimonates and hexachlorostannates is reported. Protonation of these pyridones occurs on oxygen to form the 2- and 4-hydroxypyridinium ions, as witnessed by the presence of both OH and NH stretching bands. Aromatic ring and skeletal frequencies in these cations correlated very well with those found in other 2– and 4-substituted pyridinium hexachloroantimonates included in this study.     

Diffusion Studies on Polystyrene in 1,4-Dioxane

The diffusion behavior of polystyrene with narrow molecular weight distribution at 20℃ in 1, 4-dioxane was investigated by the photon correlation spectroscopy. The cumulant method was employed for the analysis of the intensity-intensity autocorrelation function measured over a wide range of the scattering vector. The diffusion coefficient D was determined as the function of concentration C in the molecular weight range of 3. 0×104-1. 20×106. In a low concentration range, D was found to be linearly dependent on C, which has been found for some other systems. The dependence of D on molecular weight at infinite dilution can be written as an empirical formula D0 = kDM-γ M, the exponent γ(0. 576 ±0. 01) is in good agreement with the result of the scaling theory.
