Determination Of The Rate Of Formation Of Hcn, Mitchell Hull Nov 1977

Determination Of The Rate Of Formation Of Hcn, Mitchell Hull

Honors Theses

Nitric oxide is a major air pollutant arising from fossil fuel combustion, yet the fuel contribution to its formulation is uncertain. Since, in combustion, fossil fuels undergo disintegration before oxidation takes place, the study of the pyrolsis of a model constituent of fossil fuels can shed light on NO formation. The rate of inert pyrolytic disappearance of pyridine and the rate of formation of the principal Nitrogen-containing pyrolytic product, HCN, was studied in an inert atmosphere. The rate constant for the formation of HCN and its temperature dependence were determined.

Comparisons Between Oriented Film And Solution Tertiary Structure Of Various Nucleic Acids, Douglas R. C. Priore Jul 1977

Comparisons Between Oriented Film And Solution Tertiary Structure Of Various Nucleic Acids, Douglas R. C. Priore

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

It was desired to help establish whether or not the tertiary structure of a biomolecule is the same in a cry­stal (or an oriented film) as it is in solution. Generally it is accepted that the structures in these diverse environ­ments are similar, if not identical. By comparing the extinction coefficients obtained from oriented film data to those obtained from solution data it was hoped that this question might further be resolved. To this end an electric dichroism instrument built in our lab was used to measure the dichroic signal so as to calculate, with the help of the ultraviolet …

Kinetics And Stoichiometry Of The Aquation Reaction Of Pentaaquodihalomethyl Chromium(Iii) Ions, Mohammad Javaid Akhtar Jan 1977

Kinetics And Stoichiometry Of The Aquation Reaction Of Pentaaquodihalomethyl Chromium(Iii) Ions, Mohammad Javaid Akhtar

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This study was designed to provide information about the mechanisms of pentaaquodihalomethyl chromium(III) ions (halo chloro, bromo and iodo).

...

Mechanisms based on carbonium ion, carbeno and carbenoid type intermediates are proposed. A mechanism based on the nucleophillic attack (SN2) of water on the carbon center leading to a metal-formyl type intermediate is suggested as best fitting all the criteria observed in these studies.

Production of 2-alkyl or 2-cycloalkyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxy pyrimidines by first reacting diketene and lower alkanoic or cycloalkanoic acid amides in the presence of catalytic amounts of Lewis bases or Lewis or Bronsted acids, followed by treating the N-acetoacetyl (lower) alkanoic or cycloalkanoic acid amide intermediates with ammonia in the presence of acid catalysts.
