TL;DR: The analysis of a coffee concentrate is described: 202 constituents have been identified, 154 of which for the first time as mentioned in this paper, some of these compounds are new chemicals; their synthesis is described.
Abstract: The analysis of a coffee concentrate is described: 202 constituents have been identified, 154 of which for the first time. Some of these compounds are new chemicals; their synthesis is described. Most identifications are based upon mass spectrometry combined in many cases with IR. spectrometry and comparison with reference compounds. MS. and IR. data are given in detail. The analysis shows that a large number of minor constituents is present, many of which could not be identified.

TL;DR: In this article, the acid-catalysed reaction of isopropenyl ether with tertiary acetylenic carbinols to give β-ketoallenes in high yields is described.
Abstract: The novel acid-catalysed reaction of isopropenyl ether with tertiary acetylenic carbinols to give β-ketoallenes in high yields is described. Upon treatment with bases, these allenes readily undergo isomerization to conjugated dienones. This reaction sequence results in an economic synthesis of pseudo-ionones and pseudo-irones from dehydrolinalool and its homologs.

TL;DR: The N-Oxide aliphatischer Amine hingegen zeigen zusatzlich zu diesen beiden Zerfallsmoglichkeiten noch M+-18-Pike as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Beim Vergleich der Massenspektren verschiedener N-Oxide ergeben sich bezuglich der Pike M+-16 und M+-17 bei denjenigen aromatischer Amine allgemein gultige Verhaltensweisen. Die N-Oxide aliphatischer Amine hingegen zeigen zusatzlich zu diesen beiden Zerfallsmoglichkeiten noch M+-18-Pike. Wenig intensive Molekular-Ionenpike, thermische Abspaltung von O und H2O und das ganzliche Fehlen von M+-16-, M+-17- und M+-18-Piken konnen neben den beiden Folgeprodukten der Cope-Reaktion in hohem Masse den massenspektrometrischen Nachweis dieser Verbindungsklasse erschweren.

TL;DR: The structure and properties of leucoflavin derivatives obtained through flavinsensitized photodecarboxylation of phenylacetate ions were described in this paper, where the photoreduction of flavin was shown to be a quantitative photoalkylation, the benzyl residue entering either position 5 (nitrogen) or the bridge position 4a (carbon), depending on the conditions.
Abstract: Structure and properties of leucoflavin derivatives obtained through flavinsensitized photodecarboxylation of phenylacetate ions are described. The photoreduction of flavin with phenylacetate as donor is shown to be a quantitative photoalkylation, the benzyl residue entering either position 5 (nitrogen) or the bridge position 4a (carbon) of the flavin nucleus, depending on the conditions. The isomers were isolated, and identified by IR., NMR., and elementary analysis. The benzyl residue migrates from N(5) to C(4a) upon heating.

TL;DR: The crystal structures of Mn5O8 and Cd2Mn3O8 were determined from single crystal and high-resolution X-ray powder data as discussed by the authors, and they have very similar monoclinic unit cells.
Abstract: The crystal structures of Mn5O8 and Cd2Mn3O8 are determined from single crystal and high resolution X-ray powder data. Both structures have very similar monoclinic unit cells, space group C–C2/m, and are isotypic: Hence, the true formula of Mn5O8 is MnMnO8. The crystal structure consists of pseudohexagonal MnIV sheets (bc) with similar oxygen sheets on either side, giving a distorted octahedral coordination to the MnIV. As every fourth MnIV is missing in these “main layers”, their composition becomes Mn3O8, and chains of coordination octahedra linked by common edges become distinct. Above and below the empty MnIV sites are either MnII or CdII completing the composition MnMnO8 or Cd2Mn3O8 respectively. Examples of similar “double layer” structures are given.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3d-Patterson-Synthese, gefolgt von mehreren 3D-Fourier-und -Differenz-fourier synthesen und Kleinste-Quadrate-Verfeinerungen, was bestimmt (R=8,5%).
Abstract: Naphtalin-chromtricarbonyl kristallisiert in 2 Modifikationen: (a) als Schindeln mit a=12,37, b=6,58, c=7,36 A, α=107°22′, β=96°44′, γ=92°50′, P1 oder P, Z=2, und (b) als Nadeln mit a=13,98, b=11,71, c=6,87 α, P212121, Z=4. Von letzterer wurde mittels einer 3d-Patterson-Synthese, gefolgt von mehreren 3d-Fourier-und -Differenz-Fourier-Synthesen und Kleinste-Quadrate-Verfeinerungen die vollstandige Struktur bestimmt (R=8,5%). Die C-C-Abstande im ebenen Naphtalinring von 1,375-1,447 α weisen gegenuber denjenigen im Naphtalin selber (1,364-1,427 A) keine wesentliche, durch den Cr(CO)3-Komplex bedingte Auflockerung auf. Keine Carbonylgruppe liegt in der «langen» Spiegelebene der Naphtalinmolekel, sondern jede ist aus ihr herausgedreht. Die zwischenmolekularen Abstande von 3,34-3,71 A fallen in den Bereich schwacher (CH…O)-Wechselwirkungen.

TL;DR: In this paper, 17 substances were shown to be present in the aroma of black tea and the total number of substances now identified to 187 was brought up to 187, with many of these new aromatic constituents present only in traces.
Abstract: 17 substances were shown to be present in the aroma of black tea. This brings the total number of substances now identified to 187. Many of these new aromatic constituents are present only in traces. Nevertheless they possess an appreciable olfactive intensity whose flowery and/or fruity characteristics are found in many perfumed black teas such as: Kenya, Darjeeling, Ceylan, China and Oolong. The components were identified by GC/MS. and their presence in the aroma verified by GC.

TL;DR: In this paper, a flameless atomic absorption method for the determination of small amounts of mercury in solutions is described, where the mercury is amalgamated quantitatively on a copper wire and subsequently vaporized in an absorption cell which is placed in the light path of a commercial atomic absorption instrument.
Abstract: A flameless atomic absorption method for the determination of small amounts of mercury in solutions is described. The mercury is amalgamated quantitatively on a copper wire and subsequently vaporized in an absorption cell which is placed in the light path of a commercial atomic absorption instrument. The mercury vapor can be quantitatively determined by its absorption of the 253.7 nm mercury line. The method has a detection limit of 0.2 ng and is therefore about 10000 times more sensitive than atomic absorption analysis using flame atomization.
