Both acids 3deld succinic acid, m.p. 185°, upon catalytic reduction (see Section 111,150), thus establishing their structures. Maleic and fumaric acids are examples of compounds exhibiting cis-trans isomerism (or geometric isomerism). Maleic acid has the cm structure since inter alia it readily 3delds the anhydride (compare Section 111,93). Fumaric acid possesses the trans structure it does not form an anhydride, but when heated to a high temperature gives maleic anhydride. 

This is an alternative experiment to the actual preparation of the ester and will give the student practice in conducting a distillation under diminished pressure. Commercial ethyl acetoacetate generally contains inter alia some ethyl acetate and acetic acid these are removed in the following procedure. 

Method 1. Treat 2 0 g. of the mixture of amines with 40 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution and add 4 g. (3 ml.) of benzenesulphonyl chloi de (or 4 g. of p-toluenesulphonyl chloride) in small portions. Warm on a water bath to complete the reaction. Acidify the alkaline solution with dilute hydrochloric acid when the sulphonamides of the primary and secondary amines are precipitated. Filter off the solid and wash it with a little cold water the tertiary amine will be present in the filtrate. To convert any disulphOnamide that may have been formed from the primary amine into the sulphonamide, boil the solid under reflux with 2 0 g. of sodium dissolved in 40 ml. of absolute ethyl alcohol for 30 minutes. Dilute with a little water and distil off the alcohol filter off the precipitate of the sulphonamide of the secondary amine. Acidify the filtrate with dilute hydrochloric acid to precipitate the derivative of the primary amine. Recrystallise the respective derivatives from alcohol or from dilute alcohol, and identify them inter alia by a determination of the m.p.

Hydrolysis of mixtures of dialkyldichlorosilicanes and alkyltrichloro-silicanes leads inter alia to cross-linked silicones of the type ... 

Qualitative analysis for the elements. This includes an examination of the effect of heat upon the substance—a test which inter alia will indicate the presence of inorganic elements—and quahtative analysis for nitrogen, halogens and sulphur and, if necessary, other inorganic elements. It is clear that the presence or absence of any or all of these elements would immediately exclude from consideration certain classes of organic compounds. 

Group VI. Concentrated sulphuric acid provides a simple test for the diflferentiation inter alia between (a) saturated paraffin and cyclic hydrocarbons and also simple aromatic hydrocarbons and (b) unsaturated hydrocarbons. 

The polyhydric alcohols of Solubility Group II are liquids of relatively high boiling point and may be detected inter alia by the reactions already described for Alcohols (see 6). Compounds containing two hydroxyl groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms (1 2-glyeols), a-hydroxy aldehydes and ketones, and 1 2-diketones may be identified by the periodic acid test, given in reaction 9. 

The conversion of acetylenes into acetyl ides, M-C=C-R (M = Li, Na, K, MgBr), by means of alkyllithium or Grignard reagents in organic solvents or by alkali metal amides in liquid ammonia is well documented (for practical examples see ref. 1, for review articles consult inter alia refs. 2-5). 

The stability of most acetylides, M-Ce8R, in organic solvents, even at room temperature or in liquid ammonia, allows a great variety of synthetic operations to be performed under different conditions (see inter alia refs. 1-5). Lithium... 

High vacuum distillation gave a crystalline product, containing small amounts of impurities, inter alia some 2-butynoic acid. Crystallization from a 3 1 mixture of pentane and diethyl ether at low temperature gave the pure acid, m.p. 77°C, in 38-45 yields. 

As mentioned above (Section 2.13.2.1.3), bipyrimidine photoproducts can arise, probably by reaction between two radicals. Thus, irradiation of an aqueous solution of 5-bromouracil (ill R=Br) in the absence of oxygen produces a variety of products including uracil, barbituric acid, 5-carboxyuracil (111 R = CO2H), several non-pyrimidine compounds and, as a stable end-product, the biuracil (114 R = H). A similar product (114 R = Me) is formed from 5-bromo-l,3-dimethyluracil (ilS). When two such related uracil derivatives are irradiated together, a mixed bipyrimidine product is formed, inter alia (B-76MI21302). 

The phleomycin, bleomycin and related families are widespectrum antibiotics containing the pyrimidine (987) in addition, they have antineoplastic activity and bleomycin is already in clinical use for certain tumours. They were isolated about 1956 from Streptomyces verticillus, and in addition to the pyrimidine portion the molecules contain an amide part (R ) and a complicated part (R ) consisting of polypeptide, an imidazole, two sugars, a bithiazole and a polybasic side chain which can vary widely phleomycin and bleomycin differ by only one double bond in the bithiazole section (78MI21303). The activity of such antibiotics is increased by the addition of simple heterocycles (including inter alia pyrimidines and fused pyrimidines) and other amplifiers (82MI21300). 

A variety of ring syntheses have been devized which depend on carbanion addition to an activated double bond. The examples depicted in Scheme 74 illustrate the use of inter alia cyano and nitro groups which are subsequently eliminated. In appropriate instances the inclusion of additional eliminable groups ensures the formation of fully aromatized products. 

The conversion of furans by oxidative acetylation or methoxylation to 2,5-diacetoxy- or 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofurans respectively, and their subsequent hydrogenation to the corresponding tetrahydrofurans, provides a useful source of protected 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds capable of conversion inter alia into the other five-membered heterocycles [Pg.142]

The stability of isothiazole derives from the fact that it has an aromatic delocalized ir-electron system. The NMR chemical shifts, which depend, inter alia, on ring currents, and the high stability of the molecular ions in mass spectrometry, are typical of aromatic compounds, and X-ray measurements confirm the partial double bond character of all the bonds of the ring. 

The wide use of microhardness testing recently prompted Oliver (1993) to design a mechanical properties microprobe ( nanoprobe would have been a better name), which generates indentations considerably less than a micrometre in depth. Loads up to 120 mN (one mN 0.1 g weight) can be applied, but a tenth of that amount is commonly used and hardness is estimated by electronically measuring the depth of impression while the indentor is still in contact. This allows, inter alia, measurement... 

In the words of a recent paper on MSE education (Flemings and Cahn 2000), chemistry departments have historically been interested in individual atoms and molecules, but increasingly they are turning to condensed phases . A report by the National Research Council (of the USA) in 1985 highlighted the opportunities for chemists in the materials field, and this was complemented by the NRC s later analysis (MSE 1989) which, inter alia, called for much increased emphasis on materials synthesis and processing. As a direct consequence of this recommendation, the National Science Foundation (of the USA) soon afterwards issued a formal call for research proposals in materials synthesis and processing (Lapporte 1995), and by that time it can be said that materials chemistry had well and truly arrived, in the... 

A series of papers on the pharmacological action of akuammine has been published by Raymond-Hamet in which it is established inter alia that the alkaloid has a local anaesthetic action almost equal to that of cocaine.
