IN the course of work carried out in this laboratory on the constitution of complex mould metabolic products-many of which are polybasic acids, or otherwise highly oxygenated compounds, very sensitive to the action of heat or mild reagents-the need for a neutral, chemically inert, non-hydroxylic liquid of extensive solvent powers and of convenient freezing-point just below room temperature, has...

The efficiency of a recently proposed novel global optimization method, energy landscape paving (ELP), is evaluated with regard to the problem of crystal structure determination from simulated X-ray diffraction data comprising integrated diffraction intensities. The new approach has been tested using the example of 9-(methylamino)-1H-phenalen-1-one 1,4-dioxan-2-y1 hydroperoxide solvate (C14H11N...

[reaction: see text] C(2)-Symmetric P-(2-X-aryl)-2,5-dialkylphospholanes (X = dioxolan-2-yl or dioxan-2-yl), designed on the basis of a working model for asymmetric induction, are effective ligands for the Ni(II)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrovinylation of styrenes. Excellent yields (>99%), selectivities for the desired 3-arylbutenes (>99%), high S/C ratios (>1200), and ee's (up to 91%) have been r...

In dioxan-chloroform medium the acceptor chloranilic acid forms 1:1 molecular complexes with the alkaloids atropine, pilocarpine and strychnine, with maximum absorption at 535, 527.5 and 535 nm respectively. Conformity with Beer's law allows the use of the complexes for the assay of these drugs.

Abstract Alkalimetalldihydrogenantimonide [M(L) x SbH 2 ], kurz: Alkalimetallantimonide (M=Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs; 1 : L=pmdta; L=Kronenether), wurden aus Stiban und n ‐Butyllithium, M(hmds) (hmds=Hexamethyldisilazan) bzw. MO t Bu hergestellt. Wir haben einen allgemein anwendbaren Syntheseweg für diese Verbindungen entwickelt die erhaltenen auf ihre Stabilität in Abhängigkeit vom verwendeten Alkalim...
