Rates Of Deuterium Exchange From Deuterated M-Dichlorobenzene In Methanolic Sodium Methoxide Solutions, Rita Rose Boggs
Rates Of Deuterium Exchange From Deuterated M-Dichlorobenzene In Methanolic Sodium Methoxide Solutions, Rita Rose Boggs
Honors Theses
Rate constants were determined for deuterium exchange fro.m m-diohlorobenzene-2-d in 0.5 to 5 molar methanolic sodium methoxide solutions at 80.3° C.
Since this is a base catalyzed reaction, an attempt was made to correlate the rates with the appropriate basicity parameter. The methoxide ion concentration was an entirely inadequate parameter since a plot of log k1 against log [OCH3] showed a linear variation with a slope of 2.40. Significant correlation would demand a slope of unity. The D0 function provided correlation for all kinetic runs except those of sodium methoxide concentrations higher than 4.05 M. The H_ function failed to …

Thermal And Photochemical Decompositions Of The Chloride Salt Of Ortho-Diazoiumphenlyacetic Acid, John Oliver Rosser
Thermal And Photochemical Decompositions Of The Chloride Salt Of Ortho-Diazoiumphenlyacetic Acid, John Oliver Rosser
Honors Theses
Ortho-nitro-phenylacetic was synthesized, diazotized, and subjected to thermal and photochemical decomposition. Indazole is formed when the diazonium chloride salt was thermally decomposed in water. When carbon tetrachloride was used as a solvent, a lactone-like product was formed. When an excess of pyridine in carbon tetrachloride was used no decomposition took place. Photochemical decompositions using a mercury vapor lamp resulted in a combination. of products when methanol was used as solvent and indazole when water was the solvent.

Synthesis Of Hydroxy Tetronic Acid, Phyllis Elaine Hoar
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
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
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 …

Polarography, James Mccarty
Polarography, James Mccarty
Honors Theses
Jaroslav Heyrovsky invented the technique of polarography about 1920 at Charles University in Prague. With proper use one can obtain both qualitative and quantitative analyses of solutions of electro-oxidizable or electro-reducible substances at concentrations.
The key part of a polarography is the dropping mercury electrode. This consists of a fine bore capillary tube connected to a large reservoir of mercury. Each tiny drop which falls from the capillary has approximately the same surface area and takes about the same time to form and fall. The greatest advantage is that each drop is actually a new electrode, and there is consequently …
A Study Of The Formation Of Cyclic Allenes From 2,3-Dibromocycloalkenes, Michael John Millam
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.
Synthesis Of N-Methyl-D-Gulosamine And Methyl Ethers Of N-Methyl-D-Gulosamine, Hazrat Mohammed Noorzad
Synthesis Of N-Methyl-D-Gulosamine And Methyl Ethers Of N-Methyl-D-Gulosamine, Hazrat Mohammed Noorzad
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
A great variety of amino sugars has been found in antibiotics among these D-gulosamine in the striptomyces group. In the same group, .an N-methylated amino-sugar, N-methyl-L~ glucosamine has been isolated. Although N-methyl-0-gulosamine .has not been found in nature until now, its ultimate discovery would not be surprising in this context. In the present work this amino-sugar and some important derivatives are prepared for the first time, starting from D-glucosamine, a pure benzyl· 3-0-acetyl-2-benzyloxycarbonylamido-2-deoxy-~-D-glucopyranoside (X) was obtained by a series of kno~n processes. Benzyl 3-0-acetyl~-methylsulfonyl-2-deoxy-~-D-glucopyranoside (XIII) and some of its derivatives were obtaine.d from (X). An attempt was made to obtain …
Studies In Coprecipitation Of Trace Amounts Of Elements, Gerald Delano Schucker
Studies In Coprecipitation Of Trace Amounts Of Elements, Gerald Delano Schucker
Masters Theses
"A new approach to preconcentration of trace amounts of elements has been demonstrated whereby traces of metals tied up as chelates are coprecipitated on a column of solid organic material. Complete coprecipitation was found to occur within very narrow pH ranges, thereby allowing separation as well as concentration of the elements by careful adjustment of acidity and concentration of chelating agent. The separation is based on the difference in stability constants of the metal chelates. Preliminary studies with different physical forms of the carrier precipitate, indicate adsorptive processes could play a significant role in the mechanism of the column-coprecipitation process. …
The Synthesis Of Methyl-2-Acetamido-3,4,6-0-Triacetyl Alpha-D-Talosaminide, Mohammad Saleem Choudhary
The Synthesis Of Methyl-2-Acetamido-3,4,6-0-Triacetyl Alpha-D-Talosaminide, Mohammad Saleem Choudhary
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Amongst the very many different kinds of amino sugars, theones that have aroused the most interest are the 2-amino 2-deoxy hexoses which are found in such well known antibiotics as streptomycin and neomycine (2). There are so far about forty-three antibiotics which are known to contain different aminosugars (6).
Aminosugars exhibit the same properties as other reducing aldohexoses, e. g. reduction of silver and cupric salts, oxidation to hexonic acids, reduction to alcohols and formation of glycosides.
The object of this project is to synthesize methyl N-acetyl α-D-talosaminide which has previously been prepared by Jeanloz (3) following a different route. …

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

Special Studies In Biochemical Instrumental Methods, Parvin Waymack
Honors Theses
Two useful methods of biochemical analysis are infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy. The occurrence of absorption bands in the infrared region can be predicted for some of the simpler molecules. Theoretically, in order for a molecule to absorb radiation it must possess a vibrational or rotational frequency the same as that of the electromagnetic radiation, and a change in the magnitude and/or direction of the dipole moment must take place. The change in dipole moment may be caused by asymmetrical vibration or asymmetrical rotation of the molecule.
Chronopotentiometry Of Metals, Lana Sue Legrand
Chronopotentiometry Of Metals, Lana Sue Legrand

For a long time now the general characteristics of potential-time curves in constant current electrolysis have been known and studied. In 1901 Sand derived his equation giving a relationship for the transition time, providing that the solution is unstirred and linear diffusion is the controlling factor.
Calcium Carbonate Determinations, James Phelan
Calcium Carbonate Determinations, James Phelan
Honors Theses
Calcium compounds are abundant in nature. The carbonate ion may exist in many varieties, such as aragonite and limestone. Of major importance in the following discussion, however, is calcite. Calcium carbonate may well be of animal origin, prime examples being sea shells, coral, and chalk. Dolomite, on the other hand, is a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium. Calcium in natural waters exists mainly as a bicarbonate, Ca(HCO3)2, which is temporary hardness, or as a sulfate, which is permanent hardness.
From determinations made periodically (every two weeks) since August 1966, a decrease has been found in the calcium content as …
Ternary Phase Diagram Determinations Concerning Potassium Electrolyte Influence On Aqueous Solutions Of Dioxane Or Tetrahydrofuran, John Albert Mcnaney
Ternary Phase Diagram Determinations Concerning Potassium Electrolyte Influence On Aqueous Solutions Of Dioxane Or Tetrahydrofuran, John Albert Mcnaney
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
For the graphical representation of the mutual, partial solubilities of a·ternary system, a diagram is generally employed which is based upon the equilateral triangle, whose properties are especially felicitous for this-purpose.
In this study, the phase diagrams for the following systems were determined: potassium acetate-water-dioxane, potassium acetate-water-tetrahydrofuran, potassium benzoate-water-dioxane, potassium benzoate-watertetrahydrofuran, potassium chloride-water-tetrahydrofuran, and potassium hydroxide-water-dioxane.
The systems, potassium acetate-water-dioxane and potassium hydroxidewater-dioxane, were investigated at 25° and 85°. This study indicates that they are, to a slight degree, temperature dependent. When these systems were plotted on a mole-percentage basis, it was found that both potassium compounds have about the …
Palladium And Platinum Complexes Of Substituted Cycloolefins, Gerald Brady Mccauley
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 …
Study Of Resonance Effects In Allenic And Related Systems, Robert Andrew Steinkamp
Study Of Resonance Effects In Allenic And Related Systems, Robert Andrew Steinkamp
Doctoral Dissertations
"In order to investigate the possibility of resonance effects through a non-coplanar substituted acetylene, synthesis of bis-(2,5,8-trimethyl-l-naphthyl)-acetylene was attempted. Condensation of acetylene with 2,5,8-trimethyl-l-tetralone to yield an acetylenic glycol followed by dehydration and dehydrogenation was expected to yield the desired non-coplanar acetylene. Comparison of its ultraviolet spectrum with that of di-l-naphthyl-acetylene would have suggested the true nature of the acetylene pi cloud. The acetylene condensation was unsuccessful, however.
Substituted allenes, which contain one sp hybridized carbon atom, were then successfully synthesized for a similar analysis of potential resonance effects. A series of para-substituted 4-phenyl-2-methylbutadienoic acids were synthesized and their pKa's …

The structural investigation was done on the basis of stoichiometric relationships, infrared spectra and magnetic moments"--Abstract, pages ii-iii.
A Study Of The Complexes Of Diketocyclobutenediol, Stewart Michael Condren
A Study Of The Complexes Of Diketocyclobutenediol, Stewart Michael Condren
Masters Theses
"In this study of the complexes of diketocyclobutenediol, squaric acid, the following original compounds were prepared: zirconyl squarate, indium (III) squarate; titanium (III) squarate, ruthenium (III) squarate, tungsten (VI) squarate, vanadium (III) squarate, and niobium (V) squarate, where squarate refers to the dianion of diketocyclobutenediol. Metal analyses were made on all of these except the ruthenium. However, only three of these metal analyses, namely those for titanium (III) squarate, indium (III) squarate, and zirconyl squarate, warrented [sic] further investigation. Carbon and hydrogen analyses were then made for these three compounds. From the percentage compositions, possible structures were proposed.

The Separation Of Optical Isomers By Gas Chromatography, Donald Ellis Carpenter
Masters Theses
"The purpose of this investigation was to study the separation of optical isomers by gas chromatography. An optically inactive solid support was coated with an optically active substrate. Racemic compounds were used as samples. The optically active packing materials tried were d-tartaric acid, d-diethyl tartrate, sucrose, d-camphoric acid, d-camphor-10-sulfonic acid, α -methyl-D-glucoside and L-(α)-glutamic acid.
Racemic compounds that were tried included 2-butanol, 3-methyl- 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-octanol, 2-bromooctane, 2-methoxy-octane, methyl-2-bromobutyrate, and 3-methylhexane.
It was found that racemic compounds could be separated by using an optically active material for packing in the gas chromatographic columns. Racemic 2-butanol, 3-methyl-2-butanol, and 2-methyl-1- butanol were …
Infrared Spectra And Magnetic Properties Of Fluorine Substituted Copper (Ii) Alkanoates, Jose G. Rodriguez
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.
