The equilibrium constant of adduct formation between some triorganotin chloride of the type R3SnCl (R=C6H5, p-CH3C6H4, n-CH3)CH2)3, C6H5-CH2 and Lewis bases Cl¯, Br¯, and I¯, were measured in 50% v/v ethanol-water solvent spectrophotometrically. The average equilibrium co...

Activation of the moderate carcinogen 6-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (6-CH(3)BP) by one-electron oxidation to form DNA adducts was studied. Iodine oxidation of 6-CH(3)BP in the presence of dGuo produces BP-6-CH(2)-N(2)dGuo, BP-6-CH(2)-N7Gua and a mixture of 6-CH(3)BP-(1&3)-N7Gua, whereas in the presence of Ade the adducts BP-6-CH(2)-N1Ade, BP-6-CH(2)-N3Ade, BP-6-CH(2)-N7Ade and 6-CH(3)BP-(1&3)-N1Ade ar...

The Me₂Si-bridged ansa-Cp/amido half-metallocene, [Me₂Si(η⁵-Me₄C₅)(NtBu)]TiCl₂, termed a "constrained-geometry catalyst (CGC)", is a representative homogeneous Ziegler catalyst. CGC derivatives with the [1,2]azasilinane framework, in which the amide alkyl substituent is joined by the Si-bridge, were prepared, and the catalytic performances of these species was studied. Me₄C₅HSi(Me)(CH₂CH=CH₂)-N...

The chemical syntheses of two new, completely nonhydrolyzable phosphinate analogues of lecithin are described. These have the structures ROCH(2)CH(OR)CH(2)CH(2)P(O)(O(-))CH(2)CH(2)N(+)(CH(3))(3) and ROCH(2)CH(OR')CH(2)P(O)(O(-))CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)N(+)(CH(3))(3), where R = C(18)H(37) and R' = C(16)H(33); each is thus isosteric with lecithin on either side of the phosphorus function. The infrared spe...
