TL;DR: The data suggest that nickel transport is not dependent on the membrane potential or on intracellular ATP, but is coupled to proton movement.
Abstract: Methanobacterium bryantii, grown autotrophically on H2-CO2, transported nickel against a concentration gradient by a high-affinity system (Km = 3.1 microM). The system had a pH optimum of 4.9 and a temperature optimum of 49 degrees C with an energy of activation of 7.8 kcal/mol (ca. 32.6 kJ/mol). A headspace of H2-CO2 (4:1, vol/vol) was required for maximum rate of transport. The system was highly specific for nickel and was unaffected by high levels of all monovalent and divalent ions tested (including Mg2+) with the sole exception of Co2+. Kinetic experiments indicated that accumulated nickel became increasingly incorporated into cofactor F430 and protein. Nickel transport was inhibited by nigericin, monensin, and gramicidin but not by carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydrazone, carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenyl hydrazone, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, valinomycin plus potassium, or acetylene. The ineffectiveness of carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydrazone, carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenyl hydrazone, and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide may be related to difficulties in the penetration of these compounds through the outer cell barriers. Nickel uptake was greatly stimulated by an artificially imposed pH gradient (inside alkaline). The data suggest that nickel transport is not dependent on the membrane potential or on intracellular ATP, but is coupled to proton movement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of substitutions on the absorption spectrum of 2-naphthol has been examined, and it has been found that the absorption band at 510 nm corresponds to the azo form and the shoulder at 610 nm correspond to the hydrazone tautomeric form.
Abstract: Studies on UV/Vis Absorption Spectra of Azo Dyes. VI. The Effect of Substituents on the Color of Derivatives of 1-Phenylazo-2-naphthols The absorption spectrum of 1-(4′-diethylaminophenylazo)-2-naphthol has been examined, and it has been found that the absorption band at 510 nm corresponds to the azo form and the shoulder at 610 nm corresponds to the hydrazone tautomeric form. Substituents in 3-position of 2-naphthol which have a free proton (e.g. OH, COOH, CONHR) stabilize the hydrazone tautomeric form by an intramolecular hydrogen bonding between substituent and hydrazone oxygen. Substituents which have not a free proton (e.g. OCH3, COOCH3, CONR1R2) have little influence on the absorption spectrum. The relative intensities of the two bands of the tautomeric forms are dependent on: — the electron attracting or electron releasing effect of the substituent R in CONHR — the hydrogen bonding acidity of the substituents in 2′-position if R in CONHR is a phenylring — the hydrogen bonding acidity of the solvent. The effect of substituents in the phenylazo subsystem is also discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction of thionyl chloride with a series of para-substituted acetophenone semicarbazones, which gives 1,2,3-thiadiazoles, involved an electrophilic attack.
Abstract: The reaction of thionyl chloride with a series of para-substituted acetophenone semicarbazones, which gives 1,2,3-thiadiazoles, involved an electrophilic attack. The rates correlated with the substituent σ+ constants and gave a Hammett ρ value of –0.55. The reaction had a low activation energy and a high negative entropy in the solvents thionyl chloride and carbon tetrachloride (ΔE‡ 9.46 kcal mol–1; ΔH‡, 8.8 kcal mol–1; ΔS‡–43.3 cal K–1 mol–1 for p-methylacetophenone semicarbazone in SOCl2). The rates of reaction of the semicarbazones were the same as the rates of appearance of the cyclised products, and there were no long-lived intermediates. The stoicheiometry of the reaction involved equimolar proportions of SOCl2 and of semicarbazone and the reaction was first-order in both reagents. Along with 4-aryl-1,2,3-thiadiazoles the final products were carbon dioxide, ammonium chloride, and hydrogen chloride. The mechanism proposed involves an ordered transition state with an approach of the electrophile above the plane of the hydrazone E-isomer via complexation with the conjugated π–n electron system. Tautomeric non-hydrazone forms of the semicarbazone are not involved in the rate-determining step.

TL;DR: Raman spectra of two hydroxy azoic model compounds: 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyazobenzene and 2,6-dimethyltimethyl-4,hydroxymethyl-azobenenzene are compared in this article.
Abstract: Raman spectra of two hydroxy azoic model compounds: 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyazobenzene and 2,6-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyazobenzene are compared. These compounds exist as the pure azo and pure hydrazone forms respectively, thus allowing the assignment of numerous Raman Bands characteristic of each tautomer. The usefulness of Raman spectroscopy for investigating azo-hydrazone tautomerism is illustrated by a study of 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-azobenzene which is clearly proved to exist entirely in the azo form.

TL;DR: 1,2 exo-Diiodo-norbornane (4) was prepared from norcamphor hydrazone by oxidative iodination and subsequent rearrangement of the 2,2-diio-bicyclo [2.2.1]heptane (2).
Abstract: 1,2 exo-Diiodo-norbornane (4) was prepared from norcamphor hydrazone by oxidative iodination and subsequent rearrangement of the 2,2-diiodo-bicyclo [2.2.1]heptane (2). The stable α-iodohydrazone 11 was obtained from 1-iodo-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one (10), which itself was prepared from 1-iodo-norbornene (5). Subsequent treatment of 11 with iodine lead to 1,2,2-triiodo-norbornane (12) and l,2-diiodo-norborn-2-ene (13). 1,2 endo-Diiodo-norbornane (14) was obtained by stereoselective reduction of 12 with tribtityltinhydride or by reaction of 13 with diimide.

TL;DR: It is concluded that HH are inactive, except when hydrolyzed to H, and the hydrolysis of certain HH, including HAH and H acetaldehyde hydrazone, in vivo may be nearly complete.
Abstract: The hypothesis that the pharmacologically active hydralazine hydrazones (HH) are endogenously hydrolyzed to parent hydralazine (H) was tested in a series of in vitro and in vivo systems. The stable hydrazones H alpha-ketoglutaric acid hydrazone and H pyruvic acid hydrazone did not hydrolyze to H in vitro (buffer or plasma), were inactive in vivo and did not generate urinary metabolites of parent H. By contrast, the labile HH, H acetaldehyde hydrazone and acetone hydrazone (HAH) generated H in vitro. H acetaldehyde hydrazone produced in vitro effects that were equipotent to the H concentration measured in the dose solutions. When administered to conscious rats and rabbits, the labile hydrazones reduced blood pressure. This effect was more gradual in onset than that of H. The hypotensive effects of HH were significantly greater than predicted by the amount of H contained in the dose solutions. Metabolic studies were conducted with the labile HH, HAH. After administration of HAH to rabbits, the proportional excretion of the urinary H metabolite, H pyruric acid hydrazone, was equal to that observed after the administration of H. We conclude that HH are inactive, except when hydrolyzed to H. The hydrolysis of certain HH, including HAH and H acetaldehyde hydrazone, in vivo may be nearly complete. Differences in the pharmacodynamic properties between labile HH and H may be related to the time course of generation of H, sequestration of hydrolysis in physiologically inactive sites or other unrecognized mechanisms.

TL;DR: The mechanism of these and related reactions of (1) with other S-nucleophiles are discussed in this article, where aqueous sodium hydroxide is used to convert 1-acetyl-to 2-phenyl-5-R-1,3,4-thiadiazoles.
Abstract: The reaction of 1-chloro-1,4-diphenyl-2,3-diazabutadiene (1) with 1-acetyl- and with 1-benzoyl-thiosemicarbazide yields initially the hydrochlorides of N2-acetyl- and N2-benzoyl-Δ2-1,3,4-thiadiazoline-4-carboxamide hydrazone (4a, b) which are converted by aqueous sodium hydroxide into the corresponding free bases (5a, b) and thence by cyclodehydration into 4-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-Δ2-1,3,4-thiadiazolines (6a, b). Treatment of (1) with thioacetamide, thionicotinamide, or the thiobenzamides 4-XC6H4CSNH2(where X = H, MeO, and Cl), leads at 20–95 °C to 2-phenyl-5-R-1,3,4-thiadiazoles (9a–e)(where R = Me, 3-pyridyl, or 4-XC6H4). The reaction of (1) with guanidine leads, via the hydrochloride, to 3-amino-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole. The mechanism of these and related reactions of (1) with other S-nucleophiles are discussed.

Journal ArticleDOI
Abstract: Oxidation of bis-(4-nitrophenylhydrazone)s of 1,3-diketones containing an α-CH between the hydrazone chains resulted in cyclisation with fragmentation, giving pyrazoles. The reaction is considered to involve dehydrogenation of the conjugated tautomeric enamine form of the bis-hydrazone, giving a cis-azo-hydrazonoalkene intermediate. When the postulated azo-hydrazonoalkene intermediate had trans-stereochemistry, unfavourable for cyclisation, as in the oxidation of cyclohexa-1,3-dione bis-(4-nitrophenylhydrazone), the azo-alkene was stable and was the main product. When the conjugated enamine tautomeric form of the 1,3-bis-hydrazone could not exist, as with 3,3-dimethylpentane-2,4-dione bis-(4-nitrophenylhydrazone), pyrazoles were not formed and the hydrazone chains behaved as isolated monohydrazones.

Final R = 0.049 for 1228 independent reflections. The title compound, DBTYH, consists of a 2,4-dinitrobenzaldehyde moiety and a tetrazole moiety bridged by a hydrazone chain. Each molecule is hydrogen-bonded to three other molecules through four hydrogen-bond linkages (two acceptor and two donor) centered on the tetrazole ring. The entire molecule is approximately planar with the exception of one nitro group which is rotated 39 ° out of the plane of the benzene ring and has a short C H . . . O distance that could indicate a weak intramolecular hydrogen bond. The crystal was automatically recentered every 428 reflections, with four standard reflections checked after each 102 measurements. Of the resulting 1701 independent reflections, 1228 reflections with F > 3a(F) were used in the refinement. Lorentz-polarization corrections were applied; decay and absorption corrections were not necessary. The structure was solved with MULTAN (Declercq, Germain, Main & Woolfson, 1973) using 141 reflections (Emi n = 1.75) and three general phase relationships.
