Synthetic analogs ofPeganum alkaloids. I. Synthesis of methoxy- and hydroxy-substituted deoxyvasicinones and deoxypeganines
Abstract6-Methoxy-, 7-methoxy-, and ′8-methoxydeoxyvasicinones have been synthesized by the reaction of substituted (3-methoxy-, 4-methoxy-, and 5-methoxy-) anthranilic acids with α-pyrrolidone. The demethylation of these compounds has given the corre-sponding hydroxy-substituted analogs of deoxyvasicinone, and the reduction of the products obtained with zinc in hydrochloric acid has given the hydroxy- and methoxy- analogs of deoxypeganine. 8-Hydrooxydeoxypeganine dimethyl-, ethyl-, and butylcarbamates have been obtained by the carbamoylation of 8-hydroxydeoxypeganine.
Über die Konstitution eines Nebenalkaloides aus Adhatoda vasica Nees
Das in der vorangehenden Mitt. vonE. Spath undF. Gandini-Kesztler beschriebene Nebenalkaloid wird auf synthetischem Wege mit dem 6-Hydroxy-peganin identifiziert. Die phenolische OH-Gruppe steht also, bezogen auf Formel III, nicht an der Stelle, welche dem CH3O des Harmins entspricht.
Selective etching of InP in NaF solution
Abstract The crossing porous structure of InP has been obtained by electrochemical etching in NaF solutions. The behavior of the periodic oscillation occurs at different potential ranges for the different concentrations of solutions, and it will disappear with the concentration of the solution decreased. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image shows that the pores have two directions on the surface and are perpendicular to each other. The two directions are assigned to [0 1 1] and [ 0 1 ¯ 1 ], respectively. The SEM image of the cross-section also shows that the two directions are assigned to [1 1 1]B and [ 1 1 ¯ 1 ¯ ]B. Both are due to the selective etching of F− ions. The crossing porous structure of InP is a very promising feature for the three-dimensional structure of III–V compound semiconductors for photonic band gap materials.
