The Synthesis Of Various Substituted 3-Amino-7-Hydroxy-2,2-Dimethyltetralins And Their Opioid-Related Activities, David Alan Lippman
The Synthesis Of Various Substituted 3-Amino-7-Hydroxy-2,2-Dimethyltetralins And Their Opioid-Related Activities, David Alan Lippman
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
A series of aminotetralones and aminotetralins were synthesized from the common intermediate F, 3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-7-methoxy- 1-tetralone. The final compounds derived from F were simple substituted and/or reduced analogues. The products would allow a progressive structure activity relationship to be drawn based on pharmacological testing.
The common intermediate F was synthesized utilizing a six step procedure starting with p-methoxyphenylacetic acid. The overall yield from the precursor to the F:HC1 was 25%. Compound F was either O-demethylated to form 3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-7-hydroxy-l-tetralone (I) or was dimethylated on the amine and subsequently O-demethylated to yield the 3-dimethylamino-7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-l-tetralone (J). The last major modification was the reduction of …
The Purification And Partial Characterization Of The Surface Polysaccharides From Three Fast-Growing Rhizobium Japonicum Strains, Madhav P. Yadav
The Purification And Partial Characterization Of The Surface Polysaccharides From Three Fast-Growing Rhizobium Japonicum Strains, Madhav P. Yadav
Masters Theses
The fast-growing strains of R. japonicum were originally isolated from China. They are acid-producing Rhizobia and are capable of nodulating soybeans. These isolates share a common host-specificity (Peking soybean) with the slow-growing R. japonicum strains even though their biochemical properties are more closely related to other fast-growing Rhizobium species. The surface polysaccharides from three fast-growing R. japonicum strains--USDA201, USDA205, and HC205--were isolated and partially characterized. Strain HC205 is a nod⁻ mutant of USDA205 which lacks the symbiotic plasmid. These surface polysaccharides consist of extracellular, capsular and lipopolysaccharides (EPSs, CPSs and LPSs). The EPSs from all three strains are very similar …
A Study Of Oxygen Functional Groups In Illinois Coal Fractions, Kenneth R. Osborne
A Study Of Oxygen Functional Groups In Illinois Coal Fractions, Kenneth R. Osborne
Masters Theses
Ferric chloride/acetic anhydride reacted with butyl phenyl ether in acetonitrile at 80° to give a 75.6% yield of p-butoxyacetophenone. Reactions with benzyl aryl ethers gave 30% cleavage. The reaction of benzyl phenyl ether gave 10.3% p-benzyloxyacetophenone as well as cleavage product. Reaction of a pyridine soluble, toluene insoluble fraction (preasphaltene) of an Illinois No. 6 coal with ferric chloride/acetic anhydride in acetonitrile gave a product 94% insoluble in pyridine. The insolubility was ascribed to condensation reactions.
Phenols were measured in coals, preasphaltenes and preasphaltene derivatives by acetylation with acetic anhydride in pyridine. Suggestions for improvement in the method were presented. …

Part I: The Synthesis Of Potential Agrochemicals. Part Ii: The Use Of Gold's Reagent As A Lynch Pin In The Formation Of Five And Six Membered Heterocycles, Keith F. Correia
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This research report focuses on two topics: the synthesis of potential agrochemicals and the use of Gold's reagent as a lynch pin to form five- and six-membered heterocycles. A diacyl hydrazide and two oxadiazoles are prepared for use as possible insecticides. Gold's reagent behaves as a one-atom and two-atom lynch pin when reacted with 1, 4- and 1, 5-dinucleophiles, respectively. Reaction conditions, interpretation of spectral data, and recommendations for further research are provided.
Oxidation Of Valencene To Nootkatone, Tung F. Chen
Oxidation Of Valencene To Nootkatone, Tung F. Chen
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The liquid phase autoxidation of the readily available sesquiterpene valencene to the commercially important perfuming agent nootkatone utilizing gaseous oxygen at atmospheric pressure has been investigated. Catalyst systems involving transition metal salts and complexes, and phase-transfer catalysts have been evaluated under different conditions of valencene concentration, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature, solvent and oxygen flow rate. Of eighteen candidate catalysts for the oxidation of valencene to nootkatone, chlorocarbonylbis (triphenylphosphine) iridium (Vaska's catalyst) demonstrated good activity and appeared to show the best potential for future work.
High Valent Chromium (V) And Chromium (Vi) Complexes, Harry Bennett Davis
High Valent Chromium (V) And Chromium (Vi) Complexes, Harry Bennett Davis
Dissertations and Theses
A new preparative route to the only neutral chromium (V) oxide fluoride, chromium oxide trifluoride, has been accomplished by the reaction of xenon difluoride with chromyl fluoride at high temperature. The chromium oxide trifluoride is produced as crystals which are suitable for single crystal studies. In reactions of chromium oxide trifluoride with alkali and alkaline metal fluorides in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, new chromium(V) oxide fluoride salts were obtained; these salts were not of high purity due to unknown problems. An attempt to prepare chromium oxide tetrafluoride by the reaction of xenon difluoride with chromyl fluoride in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride failed …
A Theoretical And Experimental Examination Of Sodium Chloride Hydration, Debra Conway Modra
A Theoretical And Experimental Examination Of Sodium Chloride Hydration, Debra Conway Modra
Dissertations and Theses
A Hitachi Hu 125C transmission electron microscope in which the standard specimen holder was replaced by an environmental cell was used to observe the hydration of sodium chloride crystals. To observe Kelvin curvature and solubility effects sodium chloride crystals which were 0.1u or smaller were of special interest. An electrohome video system attached to the electron microscope was used to record the sodium chloride hydration for subsequent particle measurement and viewing.
A theoretical model was also developed. Thermodynamic properties such as the Kelvin curvature and solubility effects were considered as well as the kinetic expressions for salt dissolution/recrystalization and water …

A Two Part Research Report: Aromatic Nucelophilic Fluoroal Koxylation Via Cationic Phase Transfer Catalysis And Reactions Of Unsymmetrical Vinamidinium Salts With Organometallic Reagents, Joseph E. Coury
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This report discusses research which was conducted in two areas: the study of aromatic nucleophilic fluoroalkoxylation assisted via cationic phase transfer catalysis and the study of unsymmetrical vinamidinium salts and their reactions with organometallic reagents.
Sodium alkoxides have been successfully used to fluoroalkoxylate activated halo- aryl and heteroaryl substrates under phase transfer catalysis conditions. Optimum reaction conditions incorporated tetra-n-butyl-phosphonium bromide as the catalyst and refluxing toluene as the solvent medium. Different quarternary phosphonium and arrmonium salts have been evaluated as catalysts: also, the effects of activating groups, leaving groups, and nucleophiles have been reported.

The Intermolecular Force Field Of Acetylene-Hcl: The Normal Coordinate And Centrifugal Distortion Analysis Of Two Weakly Bound Rigid Rods, Rebecca S. Lee
The Intermolecular Force Field Of Acetylene-Hcl: The Normal Coordinate And Centrifugal Distortion Analysis Of Two Weakly Bound Rigid Rods, Rebecca S. Lee
Masters Theses
In order to determine the intermolecular force field of C2H2⋅⋅HCl, a normal coordinate analysis appropriate for two weakly bound rigid rods is developed. An exact centrifugal distortion analysis is then carried out on the microwave spectrum of this "T''-shaped hydrogen-bonded π complex. The distortion constants and published matrix-isolated vibrational frequencies are employed in the normal coordinate analysis to obtain the intermolecular force field and refinements in the structural parameters. The following van der Waals force field is found to reproduce the existing spectroscopic constants of C2H2⋅⋅H35Cl … . This study …
A New Method For The Quantitative Determination Of Radon-222 In Natural Waters, Charles Whitlow
A New Method For The Quantitative Determination Of Radon-222 In Natural Waters, Charles Whitlow
Honors Theses
Several studies in the past have shown radon to be present in many natural waters including mineral springs, hot springs, rivers, lakes, and rainwater. A compilation of tables of radon concentration in mineral and hot springs all over the world was published by Kuroda in 1953. Most of this radon comes from radium and uranium minerals which the springs flow over. The radon concentration in lakes is from two major souces [sic]. One source is dissolved radium and the other is the inflow of high radon concentration groundwaters [sic].
Totally Empirical Wavefunctions From X-Ray Diffraction Data, Martin Jeffry Goldberg
Totally Empirical Wavefunctions From X-Ray Diffraction Data, Martin Jeffry Goldberg
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
The interpretation of coherent x-ray diffraction experiments by a quantum model is described. Adjusting the coefficients of an LCAO expansion to best fit measured Bragg intensities results in a totally empirical quantum wavefunction. The quantum model is compared to a multipole expansion. The constraints imposed by quantum mechanics are examined, and several methods of satisfying these constraints while best fitting a wavefunction to measured Bragg intensities are detailed. Application is made to beryllium metal, with a resultant fit R(,1) = .00249. Similar applications to graphite and diamond are outlined. The formalism is extended to explicitly include solid-state effects, and this …
