Critical Interest

Although it is recognized that niacin (pyridine-3-carboxylic acid), incorporated as the amide in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), is a cofactor in hydrogen transfer in numerous enzyme reactions in all organisms studied, virtually no information is available on the effect of this vitamin on a cell at the submicroscopic level. Since mitochondria act as sites for many hydrogen transfer processes, the possible response of mitochondria to niacin treatment is, therefore, of critical interest.Onion bulbs were placed on vials filled with double distilled water in the dark at 25°C. After two days the bulbs and newly developed root system were transferred to vials containing 0.1% niacin. Root tips were collected at ¼, ½, 1, 2, 4, and 8 hr. intervals after treatment. The tissues were fixed in glutaraldehyde-OsO4 as well as in 2% KMnO4 according to standard procedures. In both cases, the tissues were dehydrated in an acetone series and embedded in Reynolds' lead citrate for 3-10 minutes.

Gas Phase Basicities

The relative enthalpies of proton transfer δ ΔH0and homolytic bond strengths δDH0(B-H+) were calculated by the MNDO method for the sp and ap conformers of 4-flurobutylamine. The data obtained, along with the experimental gas phase basicities, are compared with the values predicted by the electrostatic theory. It is shown that the substituent polar effects FD on the basicities of amines are predominantly due to interactions in their protonated forms (X-B-H+) and/or radical-cations (X-B+.), those in the neutral species (X-B) playing a minor part. A contribution, which is considerably more significant in the sp conformer than in the ap conformer, arises probably also from substituent effects on the homolytic bond strength DH0(B-H+.

AbstractThe photoelectron (PE) spectra of bis(dialkylamino) acetylenes R2N-C≡C-NR2 and of tetrakis(dialkylamino) allenes (R2N)2C=C=C(NR2)2 with R = CH3, C2H5 exhibit characteristic ionization patterns which are assigned to π radical cation states of the two molecular halves twisted against each other. The low first ionization potentials between 7.0 eV and 7.7 eV stimu­lated attempts to oxidize using AlCl3 in H2CCl2 or D2CCl2. The hyperfine structured ESR spectra observed can be unequivocally assigned to the ethylene radical cations R2N-HC=CH -NR2˙⊕ which are formed from the obviously non-persistent species R2N-C≡C-NR2˙⊕ via a hydrogen transfer. During the oxidation of the dialkylamino-substituted allenes no paramagnetic intermedi­ates could be detected, presumably due to a rapid dimerisation of the allene radical cation (R2N)2C=C=C(NR2)2˙⊕.
