The Reaction Of Substituted Benzenesulfonyl Azides With N,N-Diethylaminoprop-L-Yne, Frederick Warren Stanley Dec 1970

The Reaction Of Substituted Benzenesulfonyl Azides With N,N-Diethylaminoprop-L-Yne, Frederick Warren Stanley

Masters Theses

When aryl sulfonyl azides substituted with electron releasing groups reacted with N,N-diethylaminoprop-l-yne, the products were found to be l-substituted-4-methyl-5-diethylamino-l,2,3-triazoles. However, when the aryl substituents were electron withdrawing, the products were α-diazo amidines.

In solution, the triazoles were found to exist in equilibrium with an α-diazo tautomer. NMR provided a quantitative method of measuring the percentage of triazole and α-diazo amidine tautomer. The equilibrium was measured in various solvents.

The structures of the compounds were proven by chemical degradation to a N,N-diethyl-N'-arylsulfonyl-propion-amidine.

Baseline Response Rate And The Effect Of A Stimulus Which Precedes Response-Independent Reinforcement, William M. Arnold Dec 1970

Baseline Response Rate And The Effect Of A Stimulus Which Precedes Response-Independent Reinforcement, William M. Arnold

Masters Theses

The relationship between baseline response rate and the effect of presenting a stimulus followed by response-independent reinforcement on baseline response rate was investigated in this study. Six pigeons were divided into two equal groups, one of which was conditioned to key peck on a VI-DRH schedule of food reinforcement, the other on a VI-DRL schedule of food reinforcement. Once responding had stabilized, a tone was introduced seven times during each session followed by a response-independent food reinforcement. The results indicated no change in the response rate of the VI-DRH group during the tone, and acceleration of responding during the tone …
