Base Effects on the Thermal Decomposition of Sec-butyllithium Solutions

Description: 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.

Bonding Studies on Organolithium Compounds

Description: This study is concerned with the nature of the relatively unusual bonding which occurs in organolithium compounds as a direct result of the oligomerization and possible explanations for that bonding.

Cycloadditions of Dichloroketene

Description: 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.

Diffusion of Pb210 and Cl36 in the Molten PbCl2-NaCl System

Description: Since 1955 research has been conducted at North Texas State College on diffusion in molten salts. The object of this work was a continuation of the diffusion studies, specifically the diffusion of Pb210 and Cl36 in molten PbCl2-NaCl mixtures.

The Dropping Gallium Electrode in Fused Salts

Description: This paper is an attempt to appraise the usefulness of the dropping gallium electrode (DGE) in fused LiNO3-KNO3, to compare it with the dropping mercury electrode (DME), and to study the DGE in fused LiCl-KCl.

Electrodeless Discharge of Isopropyl Alcohol

Description: Gases at satisfactory pressures fluoresce in the presence of radio frequency radiation (6). Such fluorescent gases have been used to probe fields of radio frequency oscillation and their emission spectra have been recorded and studied. Ions with multiple charges also exist in these gases, (6). In 1941 Oliver (12) observed the fluorescence of an isobutane- isobutene gaseous mix flowing to a pump through a glass tube which was wrapped by a spiral antenna of a sevenmegacycle transmitter. A white d… more

Electronic Effects in Dihaloketenes

Description: The objective of this investigation was to determine the electronic effects of the halogen atoms in dihaloketenes such as dichloroketene and dibromoketene.

Infrared Studies of Anions of Barbituric Acids

Description: As long ago as 1881, it was realized that a functional group of atoms in a molecule would cause an absorption band to appear at a particular frequency in the infrared spectrum of the molecule. In more recent years, the concept of characteristic group frequencies has become firmly established and has resulted in the present widespread use of infrared spectroscopy. There appear to have been relatively few studies of infrared absorption of organic acids as compared with their salts.

Infrared Studies of Anions of Organic Acids

An Infrared Study of some Ω-Phenyl and Ω-Benzoyl Alkanoic Acids

Description: There is no available information in the literature on interaction between carboxyl hydrogen and ω-phenyl groups. Consequently, it was of interest to seek such interactions. Some form of interaction is evident from the study of the spectra of some phenylalkanoic acids and benzoyalkanoic acids.

Naphth [2,3-d] Imidazoline-2,4,9-Triones

Description: The study of some acylurea derivatives of 2-amino-3-alkylamino- and -3-arylamino-1,4-naphthoquinones was undertaken to determine the course of reaction under conditions similar to those used by J. R. Hoover and A. R. Day to prepare 2-alkyl-1H-naphth[2,3-d] imidazole-4.9-diones from 2-acylamino-3-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones.

Organomagnesium Compounds in Benzene Solvent and Their Application in Synthesis of Organoberyllium Compounds

Description: The work reported by D. Bryce-Smith and G. F. Cox, along with several recent publications describing experimental results designed to elucidate the long disputed question of the structure of the Grignard reagent in ether stimulated the work reported here, in an effort to obtain additional evidence of the structure of the organomagnesium complex in benzene solvent. Since the primary objective of this work was to prepare organoberyllium compounds using the organomagnesium complexes in hydrocarbon… more

Preparation of N-Substituted Hydroxylamines from Oxaziridines

Description: In many series of compounds, intensity of biological activity and chemical reactivity are proportional. Generally whenever a alkyl group replaces a reactive hydrogen atom, as would be the case for an N-substituted hydroxylamine as compared to hydroxylamine, the over-all biological activity of the resulting compound is lower than that of its nonalkylated analogue. Since toxicity and physiological activity are not proportional, this comparison can only suggest possible types of derivatives to p… more

Reductions of 3,6-diphenyl-s-tetrazines

Description: 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.

Selective Lipid Absorption

Description: An experiment was designed to study in the same animal any preferential absorption of a free fatty acid in the presence of a triglyceride of the same fatty acid. Rats were administered a mixture of free fatty acid and its triglyceride labeled with carbon-13 and carbon-14 respectively. Each isotope in the fed lipid and in the lipid recovered from the gastrointestinal tract was measured. The isotope effect, if any, was studied by administering a mixture of palmitic acid-1-C13 and palmitic acid-1-… more
