Solid state infrared curves (O‐H and C‐H stretching region) are given for 5, n‐dihydroxyflavones, where n is 2′, 3′, 4′, 6, 7 and 8. In chloroform solution spectra of 3,5‐dihydroxyflavone and 3‐hydroxy‐5‐methoxyflavone, the 3‐OH stretching band appears at 3400 and 3334 cm−1, respectively, indicative of a stronger hydrogen bond in the latter substance. Solid state and solution carbonyl bands are presented for twenty‐six flavone derivatives which contain a hydroxyl, methoxyl or acetoxyl group at the 5‐position. The solution spectra (dioxane or carbon tetrachloride) of fourteen flavone derivatives containing a free 5‐hydroxyl group show carbonyl bands at 1655±2 cm−1. Eleven flavones in which the 5‐hydroxyl is blocked (carbon tetrachloride solution) give spectra with flavone carbonyl bands at 1653±3 cm−1. The high resolution chloroform solution spectrum of 3, 5‐dihydroxyflavone possesses a multi‐peaked carbonyl band with midpoint at 1641 cm−1. The chloroform solution spectrum of 3‐hydroxy‐5‐methoxyflavone has a very strong band at 1616 cm−1, with shoulder at 1646 cm−1. Spectral data of this and a previous paper support the postulate that in 4′‐hydroxyflavone the flavone carbonyl oxygen is the donor atom in an intermolecular hydrogen bond. Certain details of synthesis, and analytical data, are given for 3, 5‐dihydroxyflavone.
A new column for gas chromatography permits operation in the temperature range from 150°to over 400°C. The column packing is an inorganic salt eutectic on firebrick. A typical composition is a mixture of sodium, potassium, and lithium nitrates supported in a conventional manner on crushed insulating brick. The melting
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.
