A series of 2,3-dicarboxy derivatives of oxidation degree DO(d.c.) 0.13 to 0.90 was prepared by a two-stage oxidation of corn starch and amylose. The activity coefficient γCa2+ of calcium counterions was estimated in solutions of calcium salts of these carboxy derivatives in a 3.00 mmol (COOCa0.5)l-1 concentration by a metallchromic indicator (tetramethylmurexide) method. A loss of electrostatic free enthalpy, Δ(Gel/N)KCa, due to the exchange of Ca2+ → 2K+ cations was determined by potentiometric titrations of the investigated polyacids and pectinic acids of various linear charge density of the macromolecule employing potassium and calcium hydroxides. 2,3-Dicarboxy derivatives of starch and amylose show a considerably strong binding of calcium ions even at low oxidation degree of the starting polysaccharides in contrast to solutions of the corresponding pectinates and carboxymethyl derivatives of cellulose and amylose. The strong bond of calcium ions to 2,3-dicarboxy derivatives of starch and amylose is ascribed to a favourable spatial arrangement of two neighbouring carboxyl groups at C(2) and C(3) of the oxidized D-glucose units due to a flexibility of the macromolecule chain at sites of the pyrane ring cleavage.

Using a two-step oxidation of pectic acid (85% of D-galacturonan in the preparation) a series of 2,3-dicarboxy derivatives (Na+ form) was prepared containing 4.2 to 8.5 mmol of carboxyl groups per gram (COOH g-1). After the centrifugation of the diluted suspensions of the Ca-salts of these polyacids the activity of the calcium counterions (aCa2+) was determined using the metallochromic indicator (tetramethylmurexide) and the activity coefficient γCa2+ was calculated. Using potentiometric titrations of polyacids with potassium and calcium hydroxides the decrease in electrostatic free enthalpy, Δ(Gel/N)KCa, of the cation exchange Ca2+ → 2 K+ was determined. In the course of the oxidation, degradation of the macromolecules took place, characterized by the limit viscosity number [η]. In spite of the considerable degradation, preparations with higher oxidation degrees display a high selectivity in the exchange of cations Ca2+ → 2 K+, similar to that determined recently by us in 2,3-dicarboxy derivatives of starch and amylose. The strong binding of Ca2+ ions to the investigated substances is also documented by very low activity coefficient values, γCa2+, ranging from 0.057 to 0.037.

The values of activity coefficients γCa2+, determined earlier in solutions of calcium oligoguluronates and oligogalacturonates of various polymerization degree n, were interpreted. Values γCa2+ corresponding to an intramolecular Ca2+ bond to a polymeric chain of L-guluronan and D-galacturonan were obtained by extrapolation of functions γCa2+ = f(1/n) and γCa2+ = f((n-2)/n) to lim n → ##h. The γCa2+ values were compared with those determined in solutions of calcium salts of O-acetyl derivatives of pectic acid and D-mannuronan. In molecular disperse solutions the Ca2+ ions are bound to L-guluronan and D-galacturonan by an electrostatic bond. The course of the above-mentioned functions leads to the conclusion that both terminal uronic acid units in polyuronates under study bind Ca2+ ions less firmly than do the inner units in the macromolecule chain. The linear course of the function γCa2+ = f((n-2)/n) for L-guluronan proves the additivity of contribution of the terminal and inner uronic acid units to the total activity of Ca2+ counterions bound to L-guluronan.

Calcium ions in the concentration range 5-100 mM inhibit auxin-induced cell elongation and wall extensibility of plant stems. Inhibition of wall extensibility requires that the tissue be living; growth inhibition cannot be explained on the basis of cross-linking of carboxyl groups of cell wall uronides by calcium ions. In this study, ultrastructural evidence was sought for an interaction of calcium ions with some component other than the wall at the cell surface of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) hypocotyls.

Aziridine ring cleavage reactions of five N-nosylepimines (2-6) having D-talo, D-galacto, D-manno, and D-allo configurations with potassium hydrogendifluoride under various reaction conditions have been performed. The cleavage regioselectively afforded diaxial isomers of vicinal amino-fluoro derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-gluco- and mannopyranose 7-11 in 51-94% yields. Removal of 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl protecting group with benzenethiol has been attempted in the case of compound 10.

The 5-arylazo-1-methyl-2-benzyl-2-imidazolin-4-ones (1 a-c) undergo ring cleavage with 1% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution affording α-arylhydrazono-phenacetyl-sarcosine amide (2). Prolonged heating of 1 and 2 with the same reagent yields the cyanamide (3). On the other hand, when 1 a-c were refluxed with acetic acid the triazinones (4) were obtained. The latter adds one mole of Grignards reagent to yield the 5-hydroxy-1,2,4-triazine derivatives (5).

The interaction of sulfonate-containing aromatic poly- and copolyamides with acrylonitrile copolymers with N,N-dimethyl-N,N-diallylammonium chloride (DMDAAC) and N,N-diethylaminoethylmethacrylate (DEAEM) in organic and water-organic solutions was studied. It was shown that as a result of macromolecular reactions interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPEC) forms. They are stabilized mainly by electrostatic forces. To characterize the interpolyelectrolyte complexes composition the φ parameter was used, that defines as the ratio of corresponding functional groups molar concentrations of interacting polyelectrolytes. The transformation degree in interpolymer reactions θ was calculated as the ratio of the salt bonds number between polyions to their maximum possible number. It was shown that the main factors determining the composition and structure of forming interpolyelectrolyte complexes are linear charge density of polyelectrolytes, the nature and composition of the solvent in which interpolymer reactions occurs. It is possible to obtain IPEC, the composition of which for the same polycation will vary from φ = 2.5 to φ = 1.0, changing these factors. It was found that at the complexation process is not accompanied by a change in the phase state of the interpolymer system, when the concentration of units with sulfonate groups in the macromolecular polyamide chain 5 mol.%. It was found that the introduction of polycation leads to the formation of IPEC structures in the form of particles with an average size of ~217.7 nm for poly-4,4'-(2-sodium sulfonate) – diphenylaminisophthalamide and ~248.1 nm in the case of poly-4,4'-(2-sodium sulfonate) -diphenylaminterephthalamide. It was shown that the decrease in the polymer content of units with sulfonate groups is accompanied by a decrease in the transformation degree from 0.65-0.66 to 0.18. It was found that the studied complexes can be transferred to the solution by increasing its ionic strength. The result obtained during this work can serve as a base for the development of for the manufacturing technology of film and membrane materials based on sulfonate-containing aromatic poly- and copolyamides.

The chemistry of bis(trimethylsilyl)aminoisocyanide (1) is determined by three reactive centres of the system : the hydrolyzable Si–N-bond, the oxidizable carbon in the formal oxidation state two, the additionable double bond system. Reactions of the oxygen stable compound 1 with halogens X2 or sulfenyl halides RSX as oxidizing agents gives compounds of type (Me3Si)2NNCX2 or (Me3Si)2NNCX(SR). Heterocumulenes such as CO2, CS2, RNCS (R = (Me3Si)2N), SO2 add to 1, leading to heterocycles, which decompose at higher temperatures by ring cleavage. With other heterocumulenes such as PhNCO, Me3SiNSO, Me3SiNSNSiMe3 products are found, the formation of which could be explained by reaction paths including the building and cleavage of heterocycles.
