An efficient synthesis of seine novel analogues of fentanyl, a well known central analgesic, has been developed. Thus, 3,3-dimethyl fentanyl (9) and its 2-oxo derivative 7 were prepared in 9 and 8 steps, respectively. In the first step, fentanyl amine was selectively added to one equivalent of methyl acrylate to afford the corresponding amino-ester 1. N-acylation of this intermediate with dimethyl malonate yielded an amido-ester 2, which was further. subjected to a Dieckmann-type cyclization, to produce a six-membered cyclic intermediate 3a. The cyclization was effected under phase transfer conditions, utilising potassium carbonate as the base and 18-crown-6 as the catalyst. In the next step, acid hydrolysis and decarboxylation furnished the corresponding N-pheilethyl-2,4-dioxo piperidine (4) as a single, pure product. Bialkation of this active methylene derivative with methyl iodide and potassium carbonate in DMSO gave the 3,3-dimethyl derivative 5. After reductive amination of this substrate with aniline and Zn-AcOH acid or NaBH3CN, pure 3,3-dimethyl 4-anilino2-piperidone (6) was obtained. The synthesis of the lactame analogue of fentanyl was completed by N-acylation with propionyl chloride in ethylene chloride. When the reduction of the lactam function was conducted (NaBH4/BF3 Et2O) prior to the acylation, the reduced analogue, 3,3-dimethyl fentanyl (9) was obtained. The method appears to be fairly general for various 4-anilido-2-piperidones and 4-anilido piperidines.

Key words: fentanyl, 2,4-piperidinedione, 3,3-dimethyl fentanyl.

In this work we report the steady-state kinetic parameters for this enzymatic reaction at pH 7.0, and the pH-profile of its catalytic constant. In addition, the minimal chemical mechanism of this reaction is postulated.

Gas chromatographic retention indices (I) for a series of 10 synthesised N-substituted cycloalkylamino s-triazines on DB-1, DB-5 and DB-WAX capillary columns isothermal at 190, 210 and 230oC, and using temperature programmed gas chromatography (TPGC) were determined within a standard deviation of 0.2 i.u. The isothermal data obtained on these columns and TPGC data were compared and a comparison of the retention indices, deltaI and dI/dT values presented as linear regression equation with correlation coefficients greater than 0.9992 within a standard deviation of 0.6 i.u. The best resolution of the N-cycloalkylamino derivatives of s-triazines was obtained using the DB-WAX capillary column.

Key words: gas chromatography, retention indices, N-substituted cycloalkylamino s-triazines, isothermal and TPGC, linear regression.

The recent discovery that the algebraic structure count of phenylenes (PH) coincides with the number of Kekule structures of the corresponding hexagonal squeezes (HS) suggests that there might exist a deep-lying congruence between the topological properties of PH and their HS. In order to gain more information about this congruence we have investigated relations between a few topology-based properties of PH and HS. Very good linear correlation is found for the total-electron energy and HOMO-LUMO separation of PH and HS. In the case of Kekule structure count such a correlation is much weaker.

Key words: phenylenes, hexagonal squeeze

The previously observed high ("unusual") degeneracy of Huckel M0s in certain conjugated-electron systems is rationalised by means of graph spectral theory. Rules are given, enabling the prediction of the degeneracy of MOs in the majority of cases of chemical interest. These generalise previously noticed regularities. It is shown that the high degeneracy of the M0s is not caused by summetry, but rather by certain peculiarities of the connectedness of the respective molecules.

Key words: molecular orbitals, Huckel MOs, orbital degeneracy.

A procedure to evaluate pseudo-equilibrium concentration of hydrogen and iodate ions, the two ionic species important in the Bray-Liebhafsky oscillatory system, is considered. The values of the concentrations are found to be predominantly determined by the equilibrium dissociation reactions of sulphuric and iodic acids, and much less by the dimerization of the iodate ion.

Key words: chemical equilibrium, Bray-Lebhafsky reaction, numerical approximation calculations.

The conditions for the chlorination of antimony(lll) sulphide by calcium chloride in the presence of oxygen were studied, both experimentally and theoretically. The negative values of Gibbs energy change show that the chlorination process of antimony(lll) sulphide by calcium chloride in the presence of oxygen is thermodynamically feasible within the temperature range of 298-773 K. The activation energy of 64 kJ mol-1 was determined. The chlorination process of antimony(III) sulphide is diffusion controlled.

The processes of hydridiiig and dehydriding of both cobalt metal and cobalt doped with 0.02 percent of palladium were investigated in thc range of 30oC to 350oC. Introduction of the dopant substantially increases the ability of hydrogen absorption and decreases its energy of activation. Thermodynamic and kinetic analyses of the processes were performed. The maximum H/Co mole ratio reached in the absorbents was 29.

Key words: cobalt metal, cobalt hydrides, palladium doping, hydrogen storage.

The reactivation process of iron in 0.5 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution was studied by potentiodynamic sweep and holographic microphotography techniques. An anodic peak was observed before the iron was reactivated. This anodic peak is caused by the anodic dissolution of iron in the reactivation process. The holographic microphotography technique proved to be useful in-situ method in studying the dissolution process of the passive film. The reactivation process of iron is influenced by both the passivation time and passivation potential and can be used to study the structure and dissolution process of the passive film in acid solutions.

Key words: iron, passive film, reactivation, dissolution.

(Received I April 1996)
The effects of sulphur-containing compounds on anodic processes on iron and stainless steels have been studied using the electrochemical method. The results show that in the low potential range KSCN can catalyse the anodic dissolution of iron in 0.5 mol dm-3 H2S04. The influence of KSCN decreases with increasing electrode potential. In the corrosion-catalysis process of KSCN, the desorption of KSCN increases with the anodic dissolution current of iron. The catalysis of KSCN on the anodic dissolution of austenitic SS is much stronger than on ferrite SS. KSCN has no influence on the reactivation process of iron in sulphuric acid, while the reactivation potential of ferrite SS is improved notably by KSCN.

Key words: stainless steel, anodic dissolution, thiocyanate, reactivation.
