(Received 1 December 1997)
The Peng-Robinson-Stryjek-Vera equation of state (PRSV EOS), coupled with the Wong-Sandler mixing rules (WS), was employed to correlate the vapour-liquid equilibria (VLE) and liquid molar excess enthalpy (HE) data of ten binary systems exhibiting various complexities (asymmetric systems, systems with polar and associated components, etc.). In the WS mixing rule the NRTL qeuation was incorporated, vhereby the nonrandomness parameter a12 and the second virial coefficient binary interaction parameter k12 were treated as constants. The Ohta approach was used for the generation of the parameters t12 and t21 in the VLE and HE calculations. The obtained VLE results can, in most cases, be considered very good, whereas the HE results may be generally regarded as acceptable.

Key words: vapour-liquid equilibria, liquid excess enthalpy, cubic equations of state, mixing rules, binary mixtures

The rate constants for 10 trans-substituted b-aroylacrylic acids in their reaction with diazodiphenylmethane (DDM) were determined in ethanol at 30 °C. The intention was to study the transmission of electronic effects of substituents on the phenyl nuclei to the carboxylic group reaction center, through the -C(=O)-CH=CH-group. The obtained rate constants were analyzed with the classical Hammett equation and the extended Hammett and Taft equation. It was possible, using Taft's relationship, to effect the separation of the overall polar effect into inductive and resonance components. The pattern of transmission through the observed conjugated system has been discussed. Conformational variations caused by variable substituents in an aromatic ring were calculated using the MNDO-AM1 semiempirical method. The inclusion of a calculated conformational effect considerably improves the regression.

Key words: b-aroylacrylic acids, diazodiphenylmethane, Hammett equation.

A comparative study of the reactions of thiophene-2-carboxanilides and related compounds

RAGAB A. EL-SAYED

Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Al Azhar University, Nasr City, Cairo, Egypt

(Received 8 December 1997)
The p-chloro, p-bromo derivatives of thiophene-2-carboxanilide react with chlo-rosulfonic acid to give the corresponding sulfonyl chlorides 1,16,31, which react with some nucleophilic reagents to give the amino acid derivatives 2-6, 17-21, and 32-36. Some of the corresponding methyl esters 7-9, 22-24 and 37-39 were prepared. Hydrazinolysis of these methyl esters yielded the hydrazides 10-12, 25-27 and 40-42. Coupling reactions of some amino acid derivatives with amino acid methyl ester hydrochloride in THF-Et3N medium, using the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide DCC-method, gave the desired dipeptide methyl esters 13-15, 28-30 and 43-45. The spectral data of the compounds are briefly discussed.

Key words: thiophene-2-carboxanilides, p-chloro, p-bromo derivatives, amino acids.

(Received 19 March 1997, revised 19 January 1998)
Coordination compounds of Zn(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) with N1-[5-nitro-furfurylidene]-N2-[b-isatin]azine were prepared. Their structure were established to be [ZnLCl2]·H2O, [CuLCl2]·H2O and [NiL2Cl2]·2H2O using elemental analysis, as well as, AA, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, FTIR, UV/VIS and 1H-NMR spectroscopic methods. The central ions, zinc and copper are in a tetrahedral, while nickel is in a octahedral environment. The spectral studies indicated complexation through the nitrogen and oxygen atom of the isatin part of the ligand. The coordination compounds were tested for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus D, Proteus vulgaris and Escherichia coli.

Key words: azine, Zn(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes, spectral characterization, antibacterial activity.

(Received 30 July 1997, revised 27 January 1998)
The results of coprecipitation and sorption of strontium by amorphous and crystalline hydroxyapatite are presented. Coprecipitation experiments, performed over a wide range of experimental conditions, have confirmed that strontium is incorporated into hydroxyapatite by the isomorphous substitution of calcium. Adsorption on the surface of well crystallized hydroxyapatite follows a Langmuir adsorption isotherm with a monolayer capacity of 1.5×10-4 mol g-1.

Key words: hydroxyapatite, strontium, coprecipitation, sorption.
