Z. Naturforsch. 54 b, 13-17 (1999); received June 1, 1998 Pyridine, 2-Silyl-pyridine, 2-Germyl-pyridine, 2-Stannyl-pyridine, Molecular Structure 5-Methyl-2-trimethylsilyl-pyridine (1) has recently been prepared via the “in situ” Grignard reaction of 1-bromo-5-methyl-pyridine with magnesium and trimethylchlorosilane in refluxing tetrahydrofuran (thf) and structurally characterized. 2-Trimethylge...

Marrocchi et al. (2005) reported that low-temperature fractions of heavy noble gases were largely removed upon pyridine treatment of the Orgueil CI meteorite. As pyridine is known to induce the swelling of the macromolecular network of organic matter, they concluded that the low-temperature phase Q is macromolecular organic carbon. However, Busemann et al. (2008) showed that pyridine had no sig...

The rapid and continuous progress in trace analysis of metals is associated with development of several new techniques such as spectrophotometry. Thiosemicarbazones have been used as chromogenic reagents in spectrophotometric determination of metals. In this study the synthesis and characterization of pyridoxal thiosemicarbazone (PDT) and 2-acetyl pyridine thiosemicarbazone (2-APT) using IR, MS...

An organism capable of growth on pyridine was isolated from soil by enrichment culture techniques and identified as Micrococcus luteus. The organism oxidized pyridine for energy and released N contained in the pyridine ring as ammonium. The organism could not grow on mono- or disubstituted pyridinecarboxylic acids or hydroxy-, chloro-, amino-, or methylpyridines. Cell extracts of M. luteus coul...

synthesis of some new monocyclic β-lactams containing a quaternary carbon center via a [2+2]cycloaddition reaction is described. the reaction of achiral diphenyl ketene with chiral aldimines derivedfrom chiral 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-o-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosylamine, 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-o-acetyl-β-dglucopyranosylamine and different benzaldehydes resulted in the formation of β-lactams as singlediastereo...

First, Schiff base iminopyridine ligand has been prepared by the condensation between primary amine, dimethylaniline and active carbonyl group of pyridine carboxaldehyde, then related complexes were synthesized in methanol solution. The ligand and metal complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV, IR, 1 H NMR and 13CNMR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic data of metal complexes ind...

Treatment of 4-heptafluoroisopropyl-2-methoxy-3,5,6-trifluropyridine (4 ) with aqueous ammonia in THF gave 2-amino-3,5-difluoro-4-heptafluoroisopropyl- 6-methoxy pyridine (5) in 7 1% yield. Chlorination of this amine with 'ButOCl at -16°C gave an unstable product, namely 2-dichloroarnino-3,5- difluoro-4-heptafluoroisopropyl-6-methoxy pyridine (6). Iodine-catalysed rearrangement of this dic...

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of thiols on gold substrates are potentially important systems for future technologies such as molecular electronics and sensing. Especially in molecular electronics a strong interaction and coupling between the "device" molecules and substrate is crucial. In this context, we present here two series of novel SAM precursors, viz. bidentate oligophenylenes with ei...
