Sulfur conclusions

Thus, the presence of a thiamine ring in Cl Sulfur Blue 9 was conclusively proved. The thiamine ring is the fundamental chromophore that accounts for the high color value of both the sulfur dye and Methylene Blue [61-73-4] including their abiUty to form pale yeUow leuco forms on reduction. Methylene Violet (15) is obtained from Methylene Blue (16) by hydrolysis in boiling alkah. 

Discuss the relevance of these observations to the structure of sulfur-stabilized carbanions and rationalize your conclusion about the structure of the carbanions in MO terms. 

At the conclusion of the reflux period, ethanol is removed on a rotary evaporator. Sulfuric acid (200 ml of 2 A solution) is added to the residue, and the mixture is stirred for 3-4 hours. The solid product is collected by filtration, washed with several portions of water, and allowed to dry in the air. It is then dissolved in 150 ml of boiling ethyl acetate, then filtered hot. The filtrate is cooled in ice, affording 16-17 g of 2,5-dicarbethoxy-l,4-cyclohexanedione, mp 126-129° as off-white crystals. 

Sei.f-Tf.ST 8.4B From the phase diagram for sulfur (Fig. 8.8), predict which phase is more dense, liquid sulfur or monoclinic sulfur. Explain your conclusion. 

An analytical chemistry team analyzed a green mineral salt found in the glaze of an ancient pot. When they heated the mineral it gave off a colorless gas that turned limewater milky white. When they dissolved the mineral in sulfuric acid the same colorless gas was released and a blue solution formed. Suggest a possible formula for the compound and justify your conclusion. 

Conclusion. There is no need to multiply examples of the type considered, especially since our knowledge of the principles determining the structures of covalent crystals is still so incomplete that we can offer no explanation for the anomalous manganese radius indeed, even the observed arrangement1) of the bonds formed by sulfur in sulvanite, Om3FS4, was entirely unexpected and has been given only an ad hoc explanation. 

Nucleophilic substitution at RSO2X is similar to attack at RCOX. Many of the reactions are essentially the same, though sulfonyl halides are less reactive than halides of carboxylic acids. The mechanisms are not identical, because a tetrahedral intermediate in this case (148) would have five groups on the central atom. Though this is possible (since sulfur can accommodate up to 12 electrons in its valence shell) it seems more likely that these mechanisms more closely resemble the Sn2 mechanism, with a trigonal bipyramidal transition state (148). There are two major experimental results leading to this conclusion. 

In addition to the chain-like and cyclic species discussed so far the presence of branched rings and chains in sulfur vapor and in liquid sulfur has been discussed [46] but no conclusive experimental evidence for such iso-... 

It has always been assumed that these simple proteins act as electron-transfer proteins. This is also a fair conclusion if we take in account that different proteins were isolated in which the Fe(RS)4 center is in association with other non-heme, non-iron-sulfur centers. In these proteins the Fe(RS)4 center may serve as electron donor/ac-ceptor to the catalytic site, as in other iron-sulfur proteins where [2Fe-2S], [3Fe-4S], and [4Fe-4S] clusters are proposed to be involved in the intramolecular electron transfer pathway (see the following examples). 

The crystallographic structure of the D. vulgaris protein has been reported by Lindley and collaborators (132). The structure was solved to a resolution of 1.7 A. The major findings are consistent with most of the conclusions derived from the Mossbauer work done in the D. desulfuricans protein. The protein was found to contain two distinct clusters of the same nuclearity. Also, one cluster has a mixed N, O, S ligand environment, while the other has a regular iron-sulfur core... 

Secondly, the activation energy for the reaction is unchanged by the addition of sulfur in agreement with studies on supported systems (26,27). This suggests that although the rate is slowed, the mechanism of the reaction is fundamentally unchanged. A similar conclusion was reached In studies of the role of potassium promoters on a Nl(lOO) catalyst (28), although the effect of sulfur and potassium on the individual steps of the reaction are likely quite different (1J, , 28). 

These conclusions have been confirmed by Wood and Roth, who carried out measurements at both constant lengths and at constant elongations using natural rubber vulcanized with sulfur and an accelerator. Their results at constant elongation, to be considered later in connection with the thermodynamics of rubber elasticity at higher elongations, are summarized in Fig. 89. 

In conclusion, Cu on Ti02 or Zr02 show a unique and interesting behaviour since their deNOx activity is promoted and not inhibited by the presence of sulfur in the feed. This effect can hardly be attributed to a selective inhibition of the oxidation of decane, and is better explained by the promotion of a bifunctional mechanism involving the acid sites created on the support by the reaction of SO2. 

Pyrolysis of the parent thiirane oxide 16a monitored by microwave spectroscopy led to the conclusion that the sulfur monoxide is generated in its triplet ground state, although the singlet state ( A) cannot be excluded completely (equation 8). A later study presented evidence, based on the stereoselective addition to dienes of sulfur monoxide generated from thiirane oxide as well as thermochemical data, that the ground state S is formed exclusively ° . ... 

The oxidizing agent (organic peracid) usually attacks the sulfur from the less hindered side of the substrate to produce the less hindered oxidation product as a major isomer Thus, the observed stereoselectivity means the exclusive formation of the rmti-isomer (a). This conclusion was confirmed by NMR analysis (see Section III.B.4.b) and, clearly, can be extended and generalized with respect to larger cyclic sulfoxide systems.
