<p>The torquoselectivity of conrotatory ring opening of 3-carbomethoxycyclobutene is controlled by p<sub>C1C2</sub>→s*<sub>C3C4</sub> and s<sub>C3C4</sub>→p*<sub>CO</sub> interactions in the transition state in a 4-electron process as opposed to only s<sub>C3C4</sub>→p*<sub>CO</sub> interaction in an apparently 8-electron event in 3-carbomethoxy-1,2-benzocyclobutene. The ring opening of 3-carbomethoxy-1,2-benzocyclobutene is sufficiently endothermic. We therefore argue that the reverse ring closing reaction is faster than the forward ring opening reaction and, thus, it establishes an equilibrium between the two and subsequently allows formation of the more stable species <i>via</i> outward ring opening reaction. Application of this argument to 3-dimethylaminocarbonyl-1,2-benzocyclobutene explains the predominantly observed inward opening.</p>

Two new processes occur in a superconducting film when it is used as a detector of X-rays. One of these processes is the scattering of the X-ray by a single electron which gives rise to the broadening of the X-ray line. Another process describes the breaking of a Cooper pair by the X-ray which also contributes to the width of the X-ray. The line arising from the single electron process depends on T4 whereas that arising from the pair breaking process varies almost as T6 at low temperatures. Lines occur at ℏωq ± 2Δ, and at ℏωq where ℏωq is the energy of the X-ray and 2Δ is the gap of the superconductor.

The redox behavior of various C-substituted nitrones was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile. These included C-methoxynitrones (MeO)CR = N(O)t-Bu with R = C6H5(1a), p-MeOC6H4 (1b), p-NO2C6H4 (1c), and H (1d) and nitrones YCH = N(O)t-Bu with Y = n-BuS (2a), CN (2b), and C6H5NH (2c). All gave anodic peaks which can be identified as oxidations of the nitrone function. Controlled potential electrolysis of 1a at 1.05 V (SCE) showed that its oxidation was a one-electron process. Reduction of 1a occurs stepwise at −2.08 and at −2.47 V, the same potential for reduction of methyl N-tert-butylbenzimidate (MeO)CPh = Nt-Bu. With electrochemical windows of ca. 3 V, all of the nitrones studied appear suitable for spin-trapping experiments.
