Base Effects on the Thermal Decomposition of Sec-butyllithium Solutions
The pyrolysis of sec-butyllithium in solution was studied in an attempt to understand the loss of stereo-specificity and the atypical kinetics that have been reported. Additionally, the effect of added lithium alkoxides was studied to determine their effects on the highly reactive sec-butyllithium substrate.
Cycloadditions of Dichloroketene
An investigation of the cycloaddition behavior of dichloroketene with various types of olefins seemed in order to determine if dichloroketene behaved similarly to dialkylketenes. It was anticipated that a study of this type would indicate the reactivity of dichloroketene to various types of olefinic compounds and thus establish if the ease of cycloaddition with dichloroketene parallels the nucleophilicity of the olefin as it does in dialkylketenes.
Preparation of Alkoxy Derivatives of 2-Chloro-1,4-Naphthoquinone and 2-Chloro-5(8?)- Nitro-1,4-Naphthoquinone
This paper studies the the synthesis of certain alkoxy compounds of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone that can be considered chemotherapeutic agents.
Preparation of Styrl Derivatives of 2,3-dimethyl-4,9-dioxo-1(2-propyl)-naphth[2,3-d]
A series of compounds were prepared by condensing 2,3-dimethyl-4,9-dioxo-1-(2-propyl)-naphth[2,3-d] imidazolium iodide with various aromatic aldehydes.
Reductions of 3,6-diphenyl-s-tetrazines
In the course of attempting to prepare 3,6-bis(hydroxy-methyl)-s-tetrazine via the reduction of 3,6-bis(carboxy)-s-tetrazine with lithium aluminum hydride, it became apparent that the tetrazine ring was cleaved.
Self-diffusion of Pb210 and Cl36 in Molten PbCl2-KCl Mixtures in the Region of the Compound 2PbCl2-KCl
The specific goal of the investigation was the measurement, as a function of temperature, of the self-diffusion coefficients of Pb210 and Cl36 in PbCl2-KCl compositions in the region of the first compound, and to calculate from these data the activation energy necessary for the diffusion of these ions.
Synthesis and Infrared Spectra of Substituted Phthalimidines
A number of N-substituted-3-hydroxy-3-phenylphthal-imidines and some of the isomeric amides have been prepared in order to study changes in the infrared spectra of these compounds due to structural changes in the molecule, particularly with reference to a hydroxyl band at 3.0µ and a carbonyl band at 5.75µ.
Synthesis of Polyaldehydes
Part one of this thesis concerns the polymerizability of some α,β-unsaturated monaldehydes and also relates the synthesis of some new polyaldehydes which have not been reported in the literature. Part two concerns the polymerization of glyoxal, the simplest dialdehyde, and the structure elucidation of this new polymer.
Synthesis of Selected 2-imidazolines
Since Djerassi and Scholz found that 2-(aryloxy-methyl)imidazolines and their hydrochloride salts exhibit vasoconstrictive properties, the 1,2-(I) 1,3-(II) and 1,4-bis-(2-imidazolinylmethoxy) benzene (III) analogs (Fig. 1, p.2) were chosen for synthesis in order to test them for their effective vasoconstrictive characteristics and for whatever other physiological properties they might exhibit.
Synthesis, Stability, and Reactions of Dichloroketene
The primary objective of this work was to prepare dichloroketene.
