The trimethylsilyl ethers of alditols with 3, 4, 5 and 6 carbon atoms were investigated. The mass spectra are unusually clearly correlated with the structures. The predominant fragmentations are cleavages in the carbon chain and rearrangement loss of trimethylsilanol. The spectra are closely related to those of the methyl ethers. A spectrum unambiguously identifies a compound as an alditol and ...

cyanide is one of the major environmental pollutants in industrial wastewater. entrance of it to existence environmental contains very health hazardous. the cyanide can be removed from aqueous solutions in many ways, but most of these methods are expensive. in the present study, novel magnetic nanoparticle modified with a polydentate ligand is used to remove cyanide. the procedure is efficient ...

addition of potassium cyanide to a mixture of schiff base and lithium perchlorate afforded a-aminonitriles in high yields. addition of potassium cyanide to a methanolic solution of schiff base and phosphoric acid afforded a-aminonitriles. when the reaction mixture was refluxed it gave a-amino acids in high yields.

An efficient method for the cocyclotrimerization of bicyclic alkenes and benzynes catalyzed by palladium phosphine complexes to give the corresponding norbornane anellated 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene derivatives is described. Bicyclic alkenes 1a-i undergo [2 + 2 + 2] cocyclotrimerization with benzynes generated from precursors 2a-d [2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl triflate (2a), 4,5-dimethyl-2-(trimethyl...

The rearrangement of tris(trimethylsilyl)silyltrimethylgermane 1 to give tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)germane 2 was investigated as a typical example for Lewis acid catalyzed Wagner-Meerwein-type rearrangements of polysilanes and polygermasilanes. Direct 29Si NMR spectroscopic evidence is provided for several cationic intermediates during the reaction. The identity of these species was verified by i...

We used high-resolution glass capillary columns to study the trimethylsilyl derivatives of some acidic metabolites found in pooled urine specimens form control and postpartum subjects. About 30 compounds were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-computer techniques. In general, open tubular capillary columns effect better resolution of trimethylsilyl derivatives of organic acids t...

Ten bacterial strains that utilize cyanide (CN) as a nitrogen source were isolated from cassava factory wastewater after enrichment in a liquid media containing sodium cyanide (1 mM) and glucose (0.2% w/v). The strains could tolerate and grow in cyanide concentrations of up to 5 mM. Increased cyanide levels in the media caused an extension of lag phase in the bacterial growth indicating that th...

Background: Cyanide poisoning is frequently lethal, Because of the early onset of severe symptoms and difficulty in the diagnosis. Case: The case was a 29-year-old boy who collapsed suddenly after taking a bottle of beer in a bar. Samples, such as peripheral blood, stomach contents, bile fluid, urine and mouth swabs, were prepared using standard autopsy procedure and were subjected to analysis...

BACKGROUND Biodegradation of free cyanide from industrial wastewaters has been proven as a viable and robust method for treatment of wastewaters containing cyanide. RESULTS Cyanide degrading bacteria were isolated from a wastewater treatment plant for coke-oven-gas condensate by enrichment culture technique. Five strains were able to use cyanide as the sole nitrogen source under alkaline cond...
