The method used to grow crystals of chrome alum weighing over twelve pounds is described. Various attempts to preserve these crystals are also mentioned. The use of crystal growing as a project for high-school chemistry pupils is suggested.
Since the previously investigated bis(tetrahydroisoquinolines) 1 and bis(benzylamines) 2 may be classified as 1,omega-diaryl-1,omega-alkanediamines, it appeared worthwhile to examine this structural concept as a guideline for predicting significant fibrinolytic activity. The prototype bis compounds 7, 14, 15, and 29-31, which were synthesized for this purpose, incorporate such molecular modifications as replacement of the tetrahydroisoquinoline nuclei of series 1 with tetrahydrobenzazepine (7) and tetrahydropyridoindole (14-15) nuclei. The latter compounds, as well as 29-31 which possess features common to both series 1 and 2, showed good to moderate activity in the standard rat (ip) screen. Significant departures from the 1,omega-diaryl-1,omega-alkanediamine structural concept led to compounds (35 and 40) of weak to moderate activity.
elusion of a + term excludes II as an important species in the rate-determining step unless the transition state is "late and essentially resembles IV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
