The Reaction Of N-Magnesium Halides On Nitriles In The Synthesis Of Amidines, Robert Bauer Jan 1962

The Reaction Of N-Magnesium Halides On Nitriles In The Synthesis Of Amidines, Robert Bauer

Masters Theses

Introduction

Compounds of the amidine class have long been of interest because of their therapeutic and pharmacological properties. Members of this class of compounds have been shown to be effective in combating pathological conditions ranging from virus (11), bacterial (12), and protozoal infections (7) to diseases of the circulatory system (6), neoplasms (5) and hyperglucemia (21), Since many basic nitrogen compounds have been of interest in cancer chemotherapy, such as a variety of amino alcohols shown by the Upjohn Company to have anti-tumoral activity, it was felt that additional investigations into the use of amidines and amino amidines in this …


The Separation Of Germanium From Lead, Cadmium, And Zinc By Ion Exchange, Myra Sue Anderson Jan 1962

The Separation Of Germanium From Lead, Cadmium, And Zinc By Ion Exchange, Myra Sue Anderson

Masters Theses

"The object of this study was to investigate the ion exchange behavior of germanium in order to find a quantitative separation method applicable to the analysis of germanium in zinc ores.

Germanium had been predicted and described as eka-silicon by Mendeleeff, and was discovered by Winkler in 1886. The importance of the metal has increased very much since World War II because of its use as a semiconductor in diodes and transistors.

All commercial scale germanium is now produced as a by-product of base metal processing. Although the United States Bureau of Mines is conducting a program for the recovery …
