The presence of a 17ß-hydroxyl group endows the simple androstane molecule with the ability to produce growth of the uterus, vagina, and prostate of the female hypophysectomized albino rat. It appears that hydrogen atoms at position 17 are of critical importance since related compounds with a ketone group at this site are inactive. Monofunctional steroids with a hydroxyl or a ketone group at position 3 likewise are devoid of activity. If a phenolic A-ring is present in monofunctional steroids the 17ß-hydroxyl group is not obligatory for growth. Proliferation of the uterus and vagina were found to follow the administration of 17-desoxyestradiol.

Hydrogen Rearrangement

An interesting rearrangement has been observed in the mass spectra of a series of N-benzoyl-2-hydroxyalkylamines. The hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group is transferred to the N-benzoyl portion of the molecular ion and the bond between positions 1 and 2 in the N-alkyl group is cleaved. A rearrangement ion, observed at m/e 135, is formed along with a neutral aldehyde or ketone. When the hydroxylic hydrogen is replaced by a trimethylsilyl substituent, the latter group is transferred with comparable efficiency. Differences in the relative importance of this rearrangement in the mass spectra of a series of related compounds with decreasing substitution at position 2, have been explained by differences in the stabilities of the neutral molecules formed along with m/e 135 and by the occurrence of a double hydrogen rearrangement which competes if hydrogen atoms are present in a relationship gamma and delta to the carbonyl group.

Spruce sawdust was chlorinated under various conditions in an attempt to procure a homogeneous lignin chloride. Success finally attended the use of methyl alcohol as a medium for chlorination. The lignin chloride, which was dissolved by the alcohol during the chlorination and subsequently precipitated by the addition of water, was cream white in color, and analysis showed it to be an alcohol lignin.A homogeneous fraction (No. 2) was obtained from the re-chlorinated product, and it proved to be a chlorinated analogue of Hibbert's monomethylated methyl alcohol lignin, the formulas of the two products being C42H22O6Cl13(OH)2(OCH3)7, and C42H32O6(OH)3(OCH3)7. The molecular weight and the presence of the two hydroxyl groups were confirmed by acetylation, when 2.0 acetyl groups entered the molecule. Eleven of the chlorine atoms in Fraction 2 have evidently replaced ten hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl group by simple substitution in methyl alcohol lignin, leaving two chlorine atoms which have apparently entered to saturate a double bond. Seven of these chlorine atoms have been shown to be readily removable either by an alkali or by acid reduction. The other six, because of their stable union with the molecule, are surmised to be joined to an aromatic nucleus or at least to some type of ring structure. The product has been shown to react stoichiometrically within limits as narrow as could be expected for such a large molecule.

Rate Limiting

The process of producing active vacancies on a hydrogen-terminated diamond surface is the most important rate-limiting stage in CH4/H2 and CH4/H2/CO2 atmospheres. Hydrogen atom and the hydroxyl group can bone to the hydrogen atom on the diamond surface and create an active vacancy. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to study the extraction reaction by two reactants both hydrogen atom and the hydroxyl group. The result indicated that the hydroxyl group could reduce the energy required for diamond surface activation. What is more, the activation rate of the surface by the hydroxyl group was livelier at low temperature, while the activation rate of the hydrogen atom predicts on the contrary. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Raman spectra demonstrated that the introduction of CO2 in the CH4/H2 atmosphere could reduce the deposition temperature and raise the deposition rate at low temperature.

Infrared spectral studies show that the carbonyl group of the esters of steroid hydroxyl groups are stabilized near the adjacent alkyl hydrogen atoms; this energy of stabilization appears to be more than that of hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl and a nearby hydroxyl group.

AbstractA new crystal structure oftert-butanol and water crystallizing as the decahydrate is reported. The crystallization of the mixture in the desired molar ratio was performed in a capillary placed directly on a goniometer of a single crystal diffractometer at 200 K and ambient pressure using focused IR laser radiation. The crystals were grown while the melting zone formed by the IR laser was moved along the capillary. Usually the crystallization process should be long enough (hours) in order to obtain a good quality single crystal. However, in the case oftert-butanol decahydrate, such a long process led to separation of the ice and alcohol. Only fast crystallization taking tens of seconds allowed crystallization of the desired crystalline phase. In the decahydratetert-butanol molecules are located in channels formed by water molecules. Hydroxyl groups are anchored to the water framework via hydrogen bonds. All water molecules in the structure have hydrogen atoms disordered equally over two sites; the hydroxyl group is likewise disordered. This effect is observed at both, 200 K and 100 K. Raman spectra recorded for the crystalline phase suggest dynamic disorder at higher temperature, converting to static at lowerT. The decahydrate oftert-butanol, together with already known itsdi- andhepta-hydrates, display similar features to those observed for series oftert-butylamine hydrates. The latter structures behave as frozen steps of amine hydration observed as crystal structures leading, at maximum dilution, to hexagonal ice. Hydrates oftert-butanol nicely follow this tendency completing the relationship found for thetert-butylamine: water system.

An analysis of configurational effects on the 13C chemical shifts of bicyclic compounds of the 1,6-anhydrohexopyranose and 2,7-anhydroheptulopyranose type is presented. As with other saturated ring Systems, strong upfield shifts are found in association with an axial orientation of the substituents, although in this respect 13C nuclei of the anhydro ring appear to exhibit atypical behaviour. Deshielding changes characterize a syn-diaxial orientation of hydroxyl groups, and also of a hydroxyl group with respect to the bridgehead bonds. No appreciable effects of antiperiplanar hydroxyl groups on 13C chemical shifts have been detected. Possible interrelationships between 13C or 1H chemical shifts and steric interactions are discussed with reference to the relative stability of isomeric anhydrosugars and C—H bond polarization. Some characteristics of one-, two-, and three-bond 13C–1H coupling are described, and are shown to be of value in several instances for the assignment of 13C signals. The 1H-coupled signal for methylenic C-6 of 1,6-anhydrides is commonly non-first order, in contrast to the simpler pattern exhibited by methylenic C-1 of 2,7-anhydrides.

The hydroxyl stretching frequencies of some 2,4-cis and 2,4-trans flavan-4-ols, thiaflavan-4-ols, and related compounds have been measured in dilute carbon tetrachloride solution. Characteristic frequencies are observed at 3626�2 cm-1 (free hydroxyl), 3616�1, and 3597�2 cm-1. The 3616 and 3597 cm-1 bands are assigned to pseudo-axial and pseudo-equatorial hydroxyl groups respectively. Evidence is presented to show that the frequency shifts arise from differences in the interaction of the hydroxyl group with the π-electrons of the fused benzene ring, and that these flavans and thiaflavans exist in half- chair, rather than sofa conformations.

In this study, a new cobalt arsenate belonging to the alluaudite supergroup compounds with the general formula of Co3(AsO4)0.5+x(HAsO4)2−x(H2AsO4)0.5+x[(H,□)0.5(H2O,H3O)0.5]2x+ (denoted as CoAsAllu) was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Its crystal structure was determined by a room-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis: space group C2/c, a = 11.6978(8), b = 12.5713(7), c = 6.7705(5) Å, β = 113.255(5)°, V = 914.76(11) Å3, Z = 2 for As6H8Co6O25. It represents a new member of alluaudite-like protonated arsenates and the first alluaudite-like phase showing both protonation of the tetrahedral site and presence of the H2O molecules in the channels. In the asymmetric unit of CoAsAllu, one of the two Co, one of the two As and one of the seven O atoms lie at 4e special positions (site symmetry 2). The crystal structure consists of the infinite edge-shared CoO6 octahedra chains, running parallel to the [101¯] direction. The curved chains are interconnected by [(As1O4)0.5(H2As1O4)0.5]2− and [HAs2O4]2− tetrahedra forming a heteropolyhedral 3D open framework with two types of parallel channels. Both channels run along the c-axis and are located at the positions (1/2, 0, z) and (0, 0, z), respectively. The H2 and H4 hydrogen atoms of O2H2 and O4H4 hydroxyl groups are situated in channel 1, while the uncoordinated water molecule H2O7 at half-occupied 4e special positions and hydrogen atoms of O6H6 hydroxyl group were found in channel 2. The results of the magnetic investigations confirm the quasi one-dimensional structure of divalent cobalt ions. They are antiferromagnetically coupled with the intrachain interaction parameter of J ≈ −8 cm−1 and interchain parameter of J’ ≈ −2 cm−1 that become effective below the Néel temperature of 3.4 K.

We carried out first principles calculations to show that polymerizable structures containing hydroxyl (alcoholic chain) and amino groups are suitable to form stable complexes with dibenzothiophene (DBT) and its alkyl derivates. These sulfur pollutants are very difficult to eliminate through traditional catalytic processes. Spontaneous and exothermic interactions at 0 K primarily occur through the formation of stable complexes of organosulfur molecules with monomeric structures by hydrogen bonds. The bonds are formed between the sulfur atom and the hydrogen of the hydroxyl group; additional hydrogen bonds are formed between the hydrogen atoms of the organosulfur molecule and the nitrogen atoms of the monomers. We vary the number of methylene groups in the alcoholic chain containing the hydroxyl group of the monomer and find that the monomeric structure with four methylene groups has the best selectivity towards the interaction with the methyl derivates with reference to the interaction with DBT. Even this study does not consider solvent and competitive adsorption effects; our results show that monomeric structures containing amino and hydroxyl groups can be used to develop adsorbents to eliminate organosulfur pollutants from oil and its derivates.

: In this letter the newly introduced approach based on the radial distribution function (RDF) weighted by the number of va-lence shell electrons is applied for a series of HIV-1 protease enzyme and its complexes with inhibitors to evaluate the influ-ence of hydrogen atoms on the performance of the model. The multiple linear regression method was used for the selection of the relevant descriptors. Two groups of residues having dominant contribution to the RDF descriptor are identified as relevant for the inhibition. In the first group are residues like Arg8, Asp25, Thr26, Gly27 and Asp29, which establish direct interaction with the inhibitor, while the second group consists of the amino acids at the interface of the two homodimer sub-units or with the solvent. The crucial motif pointed out by our approach as the most important for inhibition of the enzyme’s activity and present in all inhibitors is hydroxyl group that establish hydrogen bond with Asp25 side chain. Additionally, the comparison to the model without hydrogen showed that both models are of similar quality, but the downside of the current model is the need for the determination of residues’ protonation states.
