Oxidation Of 1-(2-Hydroxybenzyl)-2-Naphthols

Condensation of salicyl alcohol with 2-naphthols (9a-d) furnishes 1-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-2-napthols (6a-d). Methylation of 6a gives the dimethyl ether 11, which has also been prepared by Grignard reaction of 2-methoxyphenylmagnesium bromide with 2-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde followed by reduction with AlCl3-LiAlH4. Compounds 6a-d undergo facile oxidation with either K3Fe(CN)6 or KOBr to give spironaphthalenones 12a-d. Surprisingly, no reaction occurs with either DDQ or o-chloranil.

Oxidation of Quinolinols - Synthesis of Spirodienones Containing Nitrogen

Reaction of 6-quinolinol with formaldehyde and sodium sulphite gives the bisquinolinol (1b). Similar reaction of 6-quinolinol with sodium 2-hydroxy1-naphthylmethanesulphonate gives 1c. Oxidation of 1b with K3Fe(CN)6 or KOBr gives the spiroquinolinone 2b, while oxidation of 1c with K3Fe(CN)6 results in the formation of spirodienones 2c and 2d, and the dispiroketones 7b and 7c. Oxidation of 1c with DDQ, however, results in only the spirodienones 2c and 2d. The spirodienone 2d and the bromospiroquinolinone 2e are formed in the reaction of 1c with KOBr.

Oxidation Of Spiroalcohols With 2,3-Dichloro-5,6-Dicyano-1,4-Benzoquinone (Ddq) .4. Structure Of A Novel Dioxepin Derivative

DDQ oxidation of the spiroalcohol 7a gives exclusively a compound to which the 13a-methyl-13aH-7a, 15-methano-15H-dinaphtho[2,1-b:2',1'-e][1,4]-dioxepin structure 8a has been assigned on the basis of two-dimensional homonuclear (H-1-H-1) and heteronuclear (H-1-C-13; FUCOUP) correlation spectroscopy experiments. Similar oxidation of spiroalcohols 7b-h gives the dioxepin derivatives 8b-h.

Synthesis Of (+/-)-2-Isopropyl-5,6-Dimethylbicyclo[3.2.1]Oct-6-En-8-One

Methanolic hydrogen chloride cyclization of the triketone 8, prepared from the Mannich base 7 and 2-methylcyclopentane-1,3-dione, gives ketones 9 and 10. NaBH4 reduction of 9 followed by Grignard reaction with CH3MgI affords the diol 12. Catalytic hydrogenation of 12 followed by PCC oxidation yields the ketoalcohol 13. Dehydration of 13 with SOCl2/pyridine results in a 1:1 mixture of the endo-14 and exo-15 olefins, separated by chromatography.

Tandem Michael reaction. Synthesis of bridged diketones

Addition of NaOMe, NaOEt, or NaOPr(i) to dispironaphthalenone 1 resulted in the formation of diketones 4a-c and 5a-c. The structure assigned to 4a was confirmed by conversion to the known hemiacetal 3. Similar addition of carbon nucleophiles like diethyl malonate, dimethyl malonate, methyl cyanoacetate, and ethyl cyanoacetate afforded diketones 4d-g. Formation of these compounds has been rationalized.

Thermal decomposition of zirconyl oxalates I. Barium zirconyl oxalate

Conditions for the preparation of stoichiometric barium zirconyl oxalate heptahydrate (BZO) have been standardized. The thermal decomposition of BZO has been investigated employing TG, DTG and DTA techniques and chemical and gas analysis. The decomposition proceeds through four steps and is not affected much by the surrounding gas atmosphere. Both dehydration and oxalate decomposition take place in two steps. The formation of a transient intermediate containing both oxalate and carbonate groups is inferred. The decomposition of oxalate groups results in a carbonate of composition Ba2Zr2OsCO3, which decomposes between 600 and 800 ~ and yields barium zirconate. Chemical analysis, IR spectra and X-ray powder diffraction data support the identity of the intermediate as a separate entity.

Die thermische Zersetzung von BZO wurde unter Einsatz der TG-, DTG- und DTA, sowie der chemischen und Gasanalyse untersucht. Die Zersetzung verläuft über vier Stufen und wird von der umgebenden Gasathmosphäre nicht besonders beeinflusst. Sowohl die Dehydratisierung als auch die Oxalatzersetzung erfolgt in zwei Stufen. Die Bildung einer intermediären Übergangsverbindung mit sowohl Oxalat- als auch Carbonatgruppen wirken hierbei mit. Die Zersetzung der Oxalatgruppen ergibt ein Carbonat der Zusammensetzung Ba2Zr2O5CO3, das zwischen 600 und 800° zersetzt wird und Bariumzirconat ergibt. Die Angaben der chemischen Analyse, der IR-Spekren und der Röntgen-Pulver-Diffraktion unterstützen die Identität der Intermediärverbindung als eine separate Einheit.On a standardisé les conditions de préparation de l'oxalate heptahydraté de zirconyle et de baryum (BZO) stoechiométrique. On a étudié la décomposition thermique de BZO par TG, TGD et ATD ainsi que par analyses chimiques et analyses des gaz. La décomposition a lieu en quatre étapes et n'est pas trop influencée par l'atmosphère ambiante. La déshydratation et la décomposition de l'oxalate ont lieu en deux étapes. Il se forme un composé intermédiaire de transition contenant à la fois les groupes oxalate et carbonate. La décomposition des groupes oxalate fournit un carbonate de composition Ba2Zr2O5CO3 qui se décompose entre 600 et 800° pour fournir du zirconate de baryum. L'analyse chimique, les spectres IR et la diffraction des rayons X sur poudre, apportent les preuves de l'existence d'un composé intermédiaire comme entité séparée.

A new model for the breakage frequency of drops in turbulent stirred dispersions

A model of drop breakage in turbulent stirred dispersions based on interaction of a drop with eddies of a length scale smaller than the drop diameter has been developed. It predicts that, unlike the equal breakage assumed by earlier models, a large drop reduces in size due to stripping of smaller segments off it through unequal breakage. It is only when the drop nears the value of the maximum stable drop diameter that it breaks into equal parts. This new model of drop breakage, coupled with the pattern of interaction of drops with eddies of different sizes existing in the vessel, has been used to evaluate not only the breakage frequency, but also the size distribution of the daughter droplets(which was hitherto assumed). The model has been incorporated in the population balance equation and the resulting cumulative size distributions compared with those availble in the literature.

Bubble formation at closely spaced orifices in aqueous solutions

A filter cloth with 182 holes per 10−4 m2 has been used to generate air bubbles both in pure water and in aqueous solutions of electrolytes and non-electrolytes at various air flow rates. Potassium bromide and ammonium perchlorate were the electrolytes used, while the non-electrolytes were isopropanol, urea and glycerol. Bubble diameters and their size distribution were measured from photographs. The role of solutes in affecting bubble sizes and their distribution compared to that of pure water is discussed in the light of a hypothesis. This hypothesis assumes that if the final bubble diameter is less than the inter-orifice distance, then bubbles do not coalesce; on the other hand, if it is greater, then coalescence occurs when tf greater-or-equal, slantedti+ts, but does not occur when t
