(Received 10 September 1998)
A convenient synthesis (in seven steps) of the 14a-hydroxy-5a-cholestan-3b-yl acetate (8, Scheme 2) is described. The synthesis starts from cholesteryl acetate (1) and involves the following transformations: (i) bromination/dehydrobromination of cholesteryl acetate (1); (ii) partial hydrogenation of the D5-bond in the obtained 7-dehydrocholesteryl acetate (2); (iii) migration of the D7-double bond in the thus formed compound 3 to the D8(14)-position; (iv) isomerisation of the D8(14)-unsaturated product 4 to the D14-analogue 5 (v) epoxidation of the D14-bond in 5; (vi) lithium aluminium hydride reduction of the 14a-,15a-epoxide 6; and (vii) partial acetylation of the 3b-hydroxyl function in the obtained diol 7 producing the final product 8. The total yield of the synthesis is ca. 18%.

Key words: 7-dehydrocholesteryl acetate, partial hydrogenation, D7-bond migration, 14a,15a--epoxy-5a-cholestan-3b-yl acetate, 14a-hydroxy-5a-cholestan-3b-yl acetate.

(Received 22 May, revised 24 September 1998)
Chiral oxazolines have been used as chiral auxiliaries in cycloaddition reactions of azomethine ylides generated from imines. Although cycloadducts were isolated in good yields, the stereoselectivity varied depending on the auxiliary structure. It has been demonstrated that a careful choice of the oxazoline auxiliary and the dipolarophile could lead to a high diastereoselectivity.

Key words: oxazolines, azomethine ylides, cycloadditions.

(Received 17 July 1998)
This paper presents the synthesis of a series of arylamine Mannich bases derived from 2-hydroxy-5-methylacetophenone by means of an amine-exchange reaction between 3-(dimethylamino)-1-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methylphenyl)propan-1-one and variously substituted arylamines in an ethanol-water mixture. The reaction proceeds smoothly and offers access with good yields to the desired products, thus proving the applicability of this indirect method of arylaminomethylation in the case of ortho-hydroxyacetophenones. The structures of the newly prepared substances were ascertained by elemental analysis, IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, as well as mass spectroscopy.

Key words: Mannich bases, amine-exchange reaction, arylamines, barylaminoketones, ortho-hydroxyacetophenones.

(Received 10 August 1998)
A simple one-pot procedure for the synthesis of the 5,6-seco-steroidal acids 9a,b in described in this paper. It consists of the epoxidation of the D5-steroids, i.e., cholesteryl acetate (8a) and 17-oxo-aandrost-5-en-3b-yl acetate (8b) with peracetic acid (generated in situ by the H2WO4/H2O2 system), followed by the CrO3/H2SO4 oxidation of the thus formed epoxides. The 5,6-seco-steroidal acids 9a,b (obtained in about 90% and 77% yield, respectively) are transformed to the corresponding B-norsteroids by the known method (Beayer-Villiger oxidation and subsequent thermolysis of the respective blactones).

This paper discusses the influence of different terminal groups on the conformation of polydimethylsiloxanes in dilute solutions. The steric factor, which reflects the flexibility in the unperturbed state, shows that the introduction of different end groups results in the chains becoming less flexible as compared to polydimethylsiloxanes.

Key words: polymer solution, polysiloxanes, flexibility.

The reaction of ethanolic solutions of 2-acetylpyridine S-methylisothiosemicarbazone with different salts of iron(II, III), nickel(II), cobalt(II), and copper(II) gave mono(ligand), and in the case of iron and nickel also bis(ligand) complexes of different compositions, in which the ligand is coordinated either in the neutral, monoanionic, or mixed form. A bidentate coordination of the neutral and a tridentate coordination of the monoanionic form were postulated. The molar conductivities and IR spectra indicate that, in addition to the organic ligand, the acid anions are in some cases involved in the coordination. The bis(ligand) complexes have an octahedral geometry, whereas for the mono(ligand) complexes a tetra- or penta-coordination is supposed. Magnetic measurements showed that the title ligand, even in the presence of iodide, can stabilize the higher oxidation states of iron and copper.

Key words: complex, iron(III), nickel(II), cobalt(II), copper(II), 2-acetylpyridine S-methylisothiosemicarbazone.

(Received 11 June, revised 8 September 1998)
A new cobalt(III) complex cis-[Co(acac)cyclam](ClO4)2 (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, acac = 2,4-pentanedione ion) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic, 1H- and 13C-NMR and mass spectroscopy. Thermal decomposition studies were also performed and the thermal stability region determined. The spectroscopic data are consistent with a folded conformation of the macrocycle around the cobalt atom, which is hexa-coordinated in a distorted octahedral arrangement. The acac ion joins symmetrically through both the oxygen atoms, the two remaining sites at the cobalt atom acting as a bidentate ligand.

Key words: cobalt(III), cyclam, acetylacetonate, synthesis, complexes.

(Received 24 August 1998)
If the interruption of conjugation at a pair of carbon atoms of a benzenoid hydrocarbon, in the para position to each other, increases the Kekul‚ structure count, then these sites are said to be topologically activated. Oxidation, Diels-Alder addition, etc. usually occur at topologically activated sites. The rules determining the existence and location of toplogically activated sites in polyacenes and benzo-annelated polyacenes are established.

Key words: benzenoid hydrocarbons, Kekulé‚ structures, reactivity.

(Received 18 April, revised 2 September 1998)
The effects of adsorption of boron containing molecules on the optical properties and reactivity of colloidal silver particles (4 nm diameter) were studied. The absorption spectra of silver particles surface modified by tetraalkoxyborones are significantly different from that of the primary silver sol. A decrease and broadening of the surface plasmon absorption band are accompanied with the formation of a distinct long-wavelength absorption band. The Fermi potential of silver particles complexed on their surface by tetraethoxyborone is shifted towards a negative potential, and lies between -0.2 and + 0.153 V.

Key words: silver sol, surface modification, tetraalkoxyborones, Fermi level.

A. V. TRIPKOVIC, K. Dj. POPOVIC and D. M. DRAZIC

ICTM-Institute of Electrochemistry, University of Belgrade, P.O.Box 815, YU-11001 Belgrade, Yugoslavia

(Received 9 October 1998)
The oxidation of methanol was studied on the low-index planes of platinum in sodium hydroxide solution, from the viewpoint of the influence of OHad species. The OHad species originate during the reversible process of OH ion electrosorption. The existence of some other kinds of oxygen containing species, adsorbed at higher potentials and irreversibly desorbed, are postulated for the (110) plane. The activity of the surface in the oxidation of methanol is determined by its coverage with OHad species. The other kind of species, found on the (110) surface, are inactive in this reaction. The OHad species are the reactive intermediates in the proposed reaction.

Key words: methanol oxidation; low-index planes of platinum; sodium hydroxide solution; OH ion electrosorption; influence of OHad species; reaction mechanism.
