Ethylene glycols have been found to allow activation of purified preparations of human plasminogen. The activity of the enzyme formed, plasmin, was measured using TAMe (p-toluene-sulphonyl-L-arginine methyl ester) as a substrate. In 50% (v/v) solutions of these compounds at pH 7.6 and 30 °C, plasmin accumulated faster in diethylene and triethylene glycols than in glycerol, but in ethylene glycol no plasmin was found. When lower concentrations of ethylene glycol (from zero to 50%) and shorter times of incubation were used, plasmin was found. With equimolar solutions (4.3 M) of glycerol and the three glycols, only diethylene glycol showed a fast rate of accumulation of plasmin. A 50% triethylene glycol solution partially inhibited the rate of spontaneous activation but stabilized the plasmin formed and therefore enzyme accumulated. At room temperature more plasmin accumulated than at higher temperatures when plasminogen was incubated in 50% triethylene glycol solution, and no plasmin was found when plasminogen was incubated at pH 7.6, 30 °C, in 50% solutions of propylene glycols, several ethers of the ethylene glycols, several polymers of various glycols, and dioxane.

The simple vinyl alkyl ethers are readily prepared from the β-bromo-ethyl ethers by the action of solid sodium hydroxide. Besides the vinyl ethers, the dialkyl ethers of diethylene glycol are formed in these reactions. β-Bromo-ethers are obtainable from the mono-ethers of ethylene glycol through the use of phosphorus tribromide. The constants of several vinyl ethers are given for the first time. The preparation of vinyl methyl ether, a gas at room temperature, and of vinyl n-butyl ether, b.p. 93.3 °C., is described.

AbstractCarbide-derived carbons (CDCs) are a growing class of nanostructured carbon materials with properties that are desirable for many applications, ranging from electrical energy to gas storage. However, the synthesis of CDCs often requires high temperatures and/or pressures, as well as toxic chemicals. In this report, we demonstrate environmentally friendly synthesis of a carbon-rich layer on the surface of SiC by anodic etching at room temperature in a highly diluted solution of hydrofluoric acid in ethylene glycol. In our opinion, the carbon-rich layer was formed thanks to the fact that we have used the etching conditions in which the rate of removal of carbon from SiC has become significantly lower compared with the silicon removal rate. More specifically, we have created an environment for SiC anodic etching where there is little water. In such conditions, silicon is still being removed from SiC, thanks to the direct dissolution, whereas the carbon removal rate is significantly reduced, due to the fact that carbon can be lost only by oxidation, but there is not enough water to oxidize carbon as in solutions with plenty of water. Thus, a carbon-rich layer is created on the etched SiC surface.
