The solvolysis of 2-phenylethyl-1-C14p-toluenesulphonate in absolute ethanol, glacial acetic acid, 90% formic acid, and anhydrous formic acid gave rise to products which showed rearrangements of the C14-labeled atoms from the C-1 to the C-2 positions to the extent of 0.3%, 5.5%, 40%, and 45%, respectively. The results constitute an unequivocal proof that phenyl participation occurs in the reactions studied. The different degrees of rearrangement found for the different solvent systems are in agreement with the concept that the solvolysis process may have a range of mechanisms between the two extremes of the nucleophilic or SN2 type and the limiting or SN1 type. In the solvolysis in absolute ethanol, a small amount of "unreacted" 2-phenylethyl p-toluenesulphonate recovered from the reaction mixture was found to show isotope position rearrangement of almost the same degree as the ethanolysis product. This finding is tentatively attributed to the phenomenon of internal return involving an ethyl-phenonium p-toluenesulphonate ion-pair.

  The present work involved the synthesis of compound (1) (1-amino-4-methyl-6-phenyl pyrimidine- 2-(1H)-thione). This compound reacts with different aromatic aldehyde using glacial acetic acid as catalytic on absolute ethanol to give a new series of Schiff's bases (2-7). New thiazolidine-4-one were prepared from reactions of Schiff's bases (2,3,4,7) with thioglycolic acid in absolute ethanol giving compounds (8-11). Finally the preparation of new tetrazole derivatives (12-15) by reaction of Schiff's bases (2,3,4,7) with sodium azide in THF. The structure of the synthesized compounds are confirmed by I.R., 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra and some physical  data.

Reaction of quercetin (QR) (1) with bromine under various conditions was studied. Interaction of QR with 2–3 equiv. of bromine in glacial acetic acid at 35–40°C for 2–4 h and 20–22°C for 24 h led to the formation of QR 6,8-dibromide (2) (52–54% yields, 96–98% purity by HPLC). Interaction of QR with 2–5 equiv. bromine in absolute ethanol at 0–5°C and 20–22°C for 24 h led to the formation of 3- O-ethyl-QR-2,3,6,8,5′-pentabromide (3) (95–97% purity by HPLC) the output of which depends on the quantity of bromine. It was shown in MDCK cell culture that compound 2 exhibits a moderate inhibitory activity against pandemic influenza virus A/H1N1/pdm09 (EC50 6.0 μg/mL, CTD50 97.7 μg/mL, SI 16). Compound 3 was inactive.

Polycaprolactone nanofibers were prepared using five different solvents (glacial acetic acid, 90% acetic acid, methylene chloride/DMF 4/1, glacial formic acid, and formic acid/acetone 4/1) by electrospinning process. The effect of solution concentrations (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) and applied voltages during spinning (10 KV to 20 KV) on the nanofibers formation, morphology, and structure were investigated. SEM micrographs showed successful production of PCL nanofibers with different solvents. With increasing the polymer concentration, the average diameter of nanofibers increases. In glacial acetic acid solvent, above 15% concentration bimodal web without beads was obtained. In MC/DMF beads was observed only at 5% solution concentration. However, in glacial formic acid a uniform web without beads were obtained above 10% and the nanofibers were brittle. In formic acid/acetone solution the PCL web formed showed lots of beads along with fine fibers. Increasing applied voltage resulted in fibers with larger diameter.

Abstract Trifluoromethyl sulfonic acid in glacial acetic acid has been compared with perchloric acid as a titrant in 4 solvent systems: glacial acetic acid, acetic anhydride, a mixture of both, and acetone. The comparison was limited to the determination of halides of nitrogenous bases with and without the use of mercury(II) acetate reagent. The results of the visual titrations showed that both acids are comparable tit rants. However, trifluoromethyl sulfonic acid proved to be superior to perchloric acid in potentiometric titrations carried out in acetic acid-acetic anhydride mixtures. Moreover, the nonoxidizing properties exhibited by trifluoromethyl sulfonic acid proved advantageous over perchloric acid in the visual detection of end points in the titration of phenothiazine derivatives in anhydrous acetic acid, using crystal violet indicator.

Abstract In Polypliidy and Maturation of Rat Megakaryocytes, by O’Dell and Jackson (Blood 32: No. 1, July, 102-110, 1968), there appeared two typographical errors. Page 103, line 10 should read "The smears were air-dried for at least one hour and then fixed in Carnoy’s fixative (6 parts absolute ethanol: 3 parts chloroform: 1 part glacial acetic acid) for 45 min." Page 108, Table 3, the second row of figures, horizontally, should read "8, 39, 22, 12, 3."

Abstract A modification of the Andrellos procedure for identification of afiatoxin B1 was studied collaboratively in 19 laboratories. The procedure, based on the altered chromatographic behavior of the afiatoxin after reactions with trifluoroacetic acid, formic acid/thionyl chloride, and glacial acetic acid/thionyl chloride, was modified by an improved silica gel column cleanup and a clearer definition of sources of difficulty. Each collaborator examined 3 extract samples: two naturally contaminated with 5 μg afiatoxin B1/sample, and one aflatoxin-free extract to which an afiatoxin B2 artifact was added. No false identifications were made. Sixteen laboratories obtained reasonably good results with the trifluoroacetic acid and formic acid/thionyl chloride reagents. Twelve laboratories obtained reasonably good results with the acetic acid/thionyl chloride reagent but there was general difficulty with a side reaction assumed to be caused by inability to maintain anhydrous conditions. The method was recommended for adoption as official, first action.
