Radiolysis Of The Extract From The Sawdust Of The Ponderosa Pine, Mervin B. York

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Portions of an acetone-hexane (1:4) extract of Ponderosa pine sawdust were exposed to gamma and ultraviolet radiation. The three solutions, including the original, were checked for antibiotic activity on: Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus. Results indicated that each solution inhibited the growth of the bacteria.

The three solutions were separated into fractions by 'column' chromatography on silica gel, using chloroform-carbon tetrachloride (1:1) as the elutant and then 10-20-50-80% ethanol in the chloroform- carbon tetrachloride mixture and finally 100% ethanol. Ten fractions were obtained from each sample and these were each tested on the bacteria. Results indicated a number …

Secondary Reactions And Partial Rate Factors In The Sulfonation Of Chlorobenzene And Toluene, Ernest Arthur Brown

Theses and Dissertations

The sulfonation of chlorobenzene, chlorobenzene-benzene, and toluene-benzene mixtures by sulfur trioxide in liquid sulfur dioxide at -12.5° C. was studied to obtain isomer distribution and relative rate data. The isomer distribution for the reaction on chlorobenzene was determined by an isotope dillution technique. Relative rate experiments were conducted by sulfonating C14 labeled benzene in competition with nonradioactive chlorobenzene and toluene and the count rate of the products was used to determine product composition. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was also used to investigate variations in isomer distributions as a function of sulfur trioxide concentration. The apparent relative rates of sulfonation (kX/kB) as calculated …

A Qualitative Study Of The "Bohlmann Band", John Alfred Richman Jr.

Master's Theses

This thesis is concerned with a qualitative study of the "Bohlmann Band", a result of C-H stretching frequencies, which is often observed in the 3.57 to 3.70 μ region in the infrared absorption spectra of amines. The appearance of this band is characteristic of tertiary amines although a few exceptions have been encountered.

Synthesis Of Hydroxy Tetronic Acid, Phyllis Elaine Hoar

Senior Scholar Papers

A Historical Introduction is given as background material to the problem of the existance of an ?-hydroxy-?-substituted tetronic acid as the intermediate in the oxidation of tetronic acids to ?-diketones. Three schemes are proposed by which this intermediate may be synthesized, starting with ethyl acetoacetate. In the first scheme the ?-substituted tetronic acid is oxidized by lead tetraacetate to the ?-acetoxy-?-substituted compound. In the second and third schemes, the lead tetraacetate oxidation can be applied to the ?-substituted acetoacetic ester, or the ?-substituted acetoacetic ester can be chlorinated with sulfuric chloride and then converted to the ?-acetoxy ester. Experimental work …

Experiments On The Inactivation Of Zinc By The Mineral Fractions Of The Soil, John J. Hassett

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Zinc deficiency, in many cases, is closely related to organic matter decomposition. DeRemer and Smith (1964) studied the effects of decomposing sugar beet tops on the reactions of Zn⁶⁵ in a Portneuf soil. They found that with time the Zn⁶⁵ associated with lime minerals, exchangeable, and water soluble fractions of the soil decreased, while that found with the organic and mineral fractions increased. This increase in the mineral fraction is of particular interest, since the majority of the Zn⁶⁵ was found to be with this fraction after a period of time. They also showed that the increase …

Some Observations On The Chemical Behavior Of Carrier-Free Iodine-131 And Dilute Carrier Iodine0127, Manning S. Reynolds

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Unexpected behavior by very small amounts of iodine has been noted by biochemical, medical, and ecological workers. It also has been shown that mild oxidation of carrier-free iodide-131 produced previously unknown species of iodine compounds. It was of interest to determine whether such species also result from the reduction of iodate.

While studying the formation of carrier-free iodate-131 by perchloric acid oxidation of iodide-131 at elevated temperatures, it was found that the acid is not directly responsible for the formation of iodate. Instead, the oxidation is accomplished by a volatile material (thought to be chlorine dioxide) formed only in perchloric …

A Modern Philosopher's Stone, Grant Gill Smith

Faculty Honor Lectures

Alchemists, the forerunners of chemists, for more than a millennium sought the "Philosopher's Stone"-the transmuting agent that could change imperfect base metals such as lead and tin to the noble metals, gold and silver, and also serve as the Elixir of Life to heal the infirmities of man and prolong his existence on earth.

Where alchemy failed, chemistry, in little more than a century, has succeeded in finding the "Philosopher's Stone," for it is now not only possible to transmute one metal into another and heal many of man's infirmities, but scarcely a facet of man's life has not been …

Phalaris Staggers : Prevention By Cobalt Bullets, Bryan J. Gorddard, P. P. Mann, A. J. Hadlow

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

FARMERS in the south west of Western Australia are familiar with the use of cobalt for the prevention of ill-thrift and deaths due to cobalt deficiency in sheep and cattle.

Less common is the use of cobalt for the prevention of chronic phalaris poisoning, known as phalaris staggers.

This condition is well known in eastern Australia, but only isolated cases have been recorded in W.A. no doubt due to the relatively small area sown to phalaris in this state.

Palladium And Platinum Complexes Of Substituted Cycloolefins, Gerald Brady Mccauley

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Much of the fundamental work on complexation of cycloolefins by platinum metals has been laid down by several workers and ranges from complexes of butadiene those of cyclododecatriene. The work here was chiefly a continuation of research on cycloolefin complexes which appear in papers by Kuljian and Frye (30,31,44). Most of this work on the complexes of cyclic seven, eight, and twelve carbon ligands was repeated here to insure a more complete laboratory background and for verification of previously reported literature data on these compounds. These compounds were used a s basis for comparison to original compounds developed in the …

The Effects Of Shearing Time And Stocking Rate On Wool Production, R J. Lightfoot

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE results of the first experiment comparing "autumn" versus "spring" shearing over a two-year period were published in 1960.

In this experiment the autumn-shorn ewes cut heavier greasy fleeces (even though they also reared considerably more lambs) with less tender wool, resulting in a higher average return per head from this group.

The autumn-shorn wool carried more seed, was less attractive and contained relatively more pieces than did the spring-shorn wool.

A Study Of The Formation Of Cyclic Allenes From 2,3-Dibromocycloalkenes, Michael John Millam

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This investigation was undertaken in an attempt to form strained cyclic allenes and to study their chemistry. The method chosen for the attempted formation of strained cyclic allenes was the determination of the corresponding 2,3-dibromocycloalkene. 2,3-Dibromocyclononene was synthesized during the course of this investigation so that its debromination to the 1,2-cyclononadiene, which is the smallest stable, 1,2-cycloalkadiene, could be studies as model for the debromination of smaller 2,3-dibromocycloalkenes was initiated. The formation of 1,2-cyclohexadiene was attempted by the debromination of the 2,3-dibromocyclohexene. Evidence for the presence of this unstable intermediate was sought via the use of trapping agents.

A Comparative Study Of Inductive Influence On The Hydrolysis Of Beta-Thioglucopyranosides By Beta-Thioglucosidase And Beta-Glucosidase, Robert W. Miller Jr.

All Master's Theses

A series of phenyl-D-thioglucopyranosides were prepared and characterized in order to determine the absolute specificity of the .B-thioglucosidase and B-glucosidese enzyme systems toward the th1oglucosidic bond. The specificity of B-glucosidase of almond emulsin toward oxygen linkage seems to be absolute, since no hydrolysis was observed by this enzyme system toward the phenyl-D-thioglucopyranosides. The P-th1oglucosidase system was found to hydrolyze only two of the thioglucopyranosides. It was apparent that only where the electron-attracting substituents in the phenyl group were strong enough to greatly weaken the strength of the sulfur linkage, as in the case of the nitro group, would there be …

Infrared Spectra And Magnetic Properties Of Fluorine Substituted Copper (Ii) Alkanoates, Jose G. Rodriguez

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this study was to prepare some selected copper(II) fluorcalkanoates, investigate their magnetic susceptibilities, study the infrared spectra of these salts and compare these properties to those of the unfluorinated copper(II) alkanoates….

The experimental data obtained indicate that the copper(II) trifluoroacetate, perfluoropropanoate and perfluorosuccinate does not form a binuclear cage structure. Copper(II) 3-(trifluoromethyl) butanoate with a magnetic moment of 1.4 should possess a binuclear case structure similar to copper( II) acetate monohydrate. The structure for copper( II) perfluoroglutarate monohydrate with a magnetic moment of 1.63 B.M. should have a structure somewhere between the two aforementioned structures"--Abstract, page ii.
