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 …
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 …

A Polarographic Study Of Selected Metal Complex Ions Of Several P-Tosyl Amino Acids, Joseph Martin Reyes
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
A polarographic study of the complexes of selected metal ions and the p-Tosyl derivatives of the amino acids; glycine, glutamic acid and lysine has been made to determine their coordination number, formula, dissociation constant and free energy of formation.
The Synthesis Of Benzyl N-Carbobenzoxy Beta-D-Glucosaminid Uronic Acid Derivatives, Stuart Martin Block
The Synthesis Of Benzyl N-Carbobenzoxy Beta-D-Glucosaminid Uronic Acid Derivatives, Stuart Martin Block
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research is the preparation and characterization of derivatives of benzyl N-carbobenzoxy-β-D-glucosaminiduronic acid. Previously the derivatives of benzyl N-carbobenzoxy-α-D-glucosaminid-uronic acid have been prepared by H. Weidmann and H. K. Zimmerman (32). The procedure upon which both these uronic acid syntheses is based has been developed with the utilization of platinum in the selective catalytic oxidation of both the benzyl α- and β-D-glucuronosides. The applicability of this research is in the development of new intermediates for the preparation of new diamino sugars or other natural products.
Capillary Behavior Of Viscous Liquids, Marvin De Young
Capillary Behavior Of Viscous Liquids, Marvin De Young
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
A major problem confronting every investigator who works with synthetic organic chemistry is that of the crystallization of the products obtained. This problem necessitates extensive attention both on the experimental and on the theoretical level. In order to gain an understanding of the behavior of substances in the liquid state, so as to be better able to manipulate them in procedures intended to induce crystallization from complex mixtures, considerable attention has been given to various models of the liquid state. An understanding of the nature of pure liquids would seem to be an essential prelude to any attempt to understand …
Synthesis Of Benzyl Beta D-Gulopyranosiduronic Acid-(2',3': 4,5)-Oxazolidone-2, Gerald Duane Shryock
Synthesis Of Benzyl Beta D-Gulopyranosiduronic Acid-(2',3': 4,5)-Oxazolidone-2, Gerald Duane Shryock
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Although D-glucosamine has been found as a constituent of some antibiotics (28), very little research has been carried out in the area of synthetic preparations. Dutcher (7) recently reviewed the biochemical importance of this class of amino sugars as a constituent of complex antibiotic substances which compose the streptothricin family. For a complete elucidation of these antibiotics, it becomes necessary to investigate thoroughly the synthesis and reactions of the D-glucosamine compounds. Gross et al. (12) have succeeded in preparing the oxazolidone of α-D-glucosamine as well as some derivatives (13) of this compound. The present work reports an attempt to prepare …

Polarography Of Selected Metal Ions In Anhydrous Aliphatic Diamines, Frederick William Foss Jr.
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
A search of the literature revealed that no study has sought to measure and compare the polarographic solvent properties of the anhydrous aliphatic diamines. In fact, there has been no reported instance of the use of anhydrous 1,3-propanediamine or 1,4-butanediamine in any electro- chemical system.

The Synthesis Of 2,6-Diamino-2,6-Dideoxy-D-Galactose., Lester Vern Smith Jr.
The Synthesis Of 2,6-Diamino-2,6-Dideoxy-D-Galactose., Lester Vern Smith Jr.
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The objectives of this research problem were divided into several parts. The first objective was to develop a practical method of preparing 2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxy-galactose. A second objective was to investigate the derivatives of benzyl-N-carbobenzoxy-α-D-galactosaminide. FInally, the third objective was to lay the groundwork for another possible route for the synthesis of 2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxy-galactose other than the uronic acid route.

The Binary Halides Of Molybdenum(Iv) And Tungsten(Iv) And The Oxochlorides Of Tungsten(Vi), Edward Roy Epperson
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
It was the purpose of this study to investigate the reaction of molybdenum and tungsten dioxides with carbon tetrachloride and bromoform (via the method of Knox and Tyree) to produce anhydrous molybdenum and tungsten tetrachlorides and bromides and to determine whether the method is a reliable one for the synthesis of these compounds. Out of this grew an investigation into the preparation of the oxochlorides of tungsten(VI) using the same preparative technique.
The results of this study are here set forth. An attempt is made to systematize the published material on the synthesis and properties of the binary halides of …
Polarography As A Measure Of Ionic Environment, James Wilburne Larsen
Polarography As A Measure Of Ionic Environment, James Wilburne Larsen
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The present work is a polarographic study of the alkali metals and selected first row transition metals in DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) with tetraethylammonium perchlorate as a supporting electrolyte. DMSO was chosen as a solvent because of its interesting solvent and complexing properties. Tetraethylammonium perchlorate was chosen as a supporting electrolyte because of its lack of complex forming tendencies and because of the wide range of voltages available for polarographic investigation before the supporting electrolyte ions react electrochemically.
One of the problems, particularly in nonaqueous polarography, is the low conductivity of the solutions leading to high cell resistance. As current flows through …
Anomers Of D-Galactosamine Benzoates, Robert Stanley Strong
Anomers Of D-Galactosamine Benzoates, Robert Stanley Strong
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
D-Galactosamine has been known as one of the rarer amino sugars, occurring widely distributed in small concentrations in living organisms. The biological importance of D-galactosamine and its derivatives was thought to justify a study of the chemical properties of this group of compounds. As a result of this study the reactions of D-galactosamine have been found to differ more than previously thought from those of D-glucosamine, the more common amino sugar
For this investigation D-galactosamine hydrochloride was isolated from chondroitin sulfate, a polysaccharide obtained from the cartilaginous tissues of animals. This was changed by appropriate reactions to the 1,3,4,6-tetra-0-benzoyl-N-carbobenzoxy-α-β-D-galactosamine (III). …
Thin Layer Chromatography Of The Platinum Metal Ions, Anthony Paul Trujillo
Thin Layer Chromatography Of The Platinum Metal Ions, Anthony Paul Trujillo
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Recent work in this laboratory has centered about the platinum metals and their complexes. The current activity in thin layer chromatography, and especially the work of Seiler in using the technique for inorganic applications, led to speculation regarding the separation and identification of the platinum metal ions by thin layer chromatography. Specifically, then, the purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to find a suitable adsorbent and solvent system to separate some or all of the platinum metal ions; (2) to find appropriate locating agents, so that once the separation had been accomplished, the ions could be identified.

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The present work consists of two parts. The first part contains the synthesis of 3,4,6-tri-o-benzoyl-D-glucopyranosido-[1,2:41,51]-21-oxazolidone (III) and the study of its chemistry in order to determine whether it could be used as a simultaneous protecting group for C1 and C2 in the preparation of new aminosugars. The second part covers the synthesis and de-o-benzoylation of β-D-glucosaminides. The products thus obtained can be used to prepare new disaccharides. In addition new aminosugar derivatives have been prepared.
Studies In The Behavior Of Certain Cyclic Olefins Toward Divalent Platinum And Palladium, Ernest Sam Juljian
Studies In The Behavior Of Certain Cyclic Olefins Toward Divalent Platinum And Palladium, Ernest Sam Juljian
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The initial program of study for consideration was the extension of cyclooctatetraene complexation to other metals of the transition group. Compounds of (COT) with iron, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten which have been reported in the literature involve carbonyl ligands simultaneously as (COT)M(CO)x with x = 2,3----; only Ag(I) as AgN03 adducts are known. Rhodium (I) is said to form an unstable dimer while ruthenium (I) forms a polymer. (COT)Pt(II) chloride, bromide and iodide have been reported but only the iodide has been studied; only (COT)PdCl2 has been reported recently. It was further conceived that substituted (COT) would …
The Transition Metal Complexes Of Anthranilic Acid And Its Derivatives, Jesse Smith Decker
The Transition Metal Complexes Of Anthranilic Acid And Its Derivatives, Jesse Smith Decker
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Part of this investigation was undertaken to determine the effects of functional group substitution on the ring - as well as on the -NH2 radical - on the formation of metal complexes with the first transition series in the periodic classification of the elements.
The outline of the investigation in this report is as follows: (1) To mind methods for the preparation of the complexes.; (2) To examine the relative ease of formation, and the relative solubility of such chelates in common laboratory reagents.; (3) To determine the relative stabilities by relative molar conductance measurements.; (4) To discover relative …
Controlled-Potential Polarography In Liquid Ammonia: Inorganic Half-Wavepotentials, Ronald Alan Head
Controlled-Potential Polarography In Liquid Ammonia: Inorganic Half-Wavepotentials, Ronald Alan Head
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The literature of polarography is so vast that any new publication in the field is likely to have an impact comparable to that of a raindrop falling on an ocean. If, however, through some alchemy of the imagination, the raindrop transformed to quicksilver and accompanied by discharge of "lightning"; and the "ocean" be a solution under carefully controlled conditions, then the effect may be measurable--even reproducible--and thus subject to rational interpretation. Since Jaroslav Heyrovsky's pioneer work in the early nineteen twenties, many such drops have fallen, bringing the science and art of polarography to its present highly developed state. Though …

High Frequency Titrations In Liquid Ammonia, Jack Charles Hileman
High Frequency Titrations In Liquid Ammonia, Jack Charles Hileman
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
An extensive literature has been established on the use of high frequency conductometric methods in chemical analysis and research. The fact that the instruments respond to chemical changes without having electrodes immersed in the reacting solutions has attracted the attention of many investigators. Until the last few years, practically all of the investigations were concerned with aqueous solutions, with the exception of measurements of dielectric constants.
There seemed no logical reason for not extending the use of the high frequency instruments to the study of Bronsted acid-base reactions, organic syntheses, rates of reaction, and the other commonly studied aspects of …
High Temperature Adsorption Studies On Solid Adsorbents, Julian Joseph Hamerski
High Temperature Adsorption Studies On Solid Adsorbents, Julian Joseph Hamerski
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
It has been found that there exist certain crystalline aluminosilicates which provide regular net-works of channels with diameters no bigger than those of molecules. Such crystals can act as sieves (thus the name "molecular sieves" now marketed by the Linde Air Products Company) and bring about a separation of molecular species by occluding small molecules while not adsorbing larger molecules or molecules with shapes that do not "fit."
The aluminosilicates were termed zeolites first by Baron Cronstedt (1) some 200 years ago. He observed that certain mineral crystals, when heated, appeared to melt and to boil at the same time. …
A Laboratory-Centered General Chemistry Course For College Freshmen, Alexander Vavoulis
A Laboratory-Centered General Chemistry Course For College Freshmen, Alexander Vavoulis
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
In order to give the laboratory-centered course a trial run and to compare it with a lecture-centered course it seemed necessary to the author that both courses should be taught and compared. The latter gave rise to the following hypotheses:
- Students in a laboratory-centered general chemistry course show more favorable attitudes toward chemistry than do students in a lecture-centered course.
- Students in a laboratory-centered course show as good a subject-matter mastery as students in a lecture-centered course.
