New methods for preparing N,N-dialkyltrifluoroacetamides
The customary preparative methods for N,N-dialkyltrifluoroacetamides involve the acylation of an amine by trifluoroacetic acid or its derivatives. The synthesis of N,N-dialkyltrifluoroacetamides by reacting trifluoroacetic anhydride or acid with disubstituted formamides and acetamides is discussed. These reactions were interpreted with the aid of gas chromatographic analysis. Different reaction mechanisms are proposed for the reactions of formamides and acetamides with trifluoroacetic anhydride or acid. The use of the proposed reaction mechanisms for the synthesis of other fluorinated compounds is discussed.

Conceptual design study of a six-man solid electrolyte system for oxygen reclamation
A six-man solid electrolyte oxygen regeneration system (SEORS) that will produce 12.5 lbs/day of oxygen has been designed. The SEORS will simultaneously electrolyze both carbon dioxide and water vapor and be suitable for coupling with a carbon dioxide concentration system of either molecular sieve, solid amine or hydrogen depolarized electrochemical type. The total system will occupy approximately 19 cu ft (34.5 in. x .26 in. x 36 in. high) and will weigh approximately 500 pounds. It is estimated that the total electrical power required will be 1783 watts. The system consists of three major components; electrolyzer, hydrogen diffuser, and carbon deposition reactor. There are 108 electrolysis stacks of 12 cells each in the electrolyzer. Only 2/3 of the 108 stacks will be operated at a time; the remainder will be held in reserve. The design calls for 96 palladium membranes for hydrogen removal to give 60 percent redundancy. Four carbon deposition reactors are employed. The iron catalyst tube in each reactor weighs 7.1 lb and 100 percent redundancy is allowed.

Quantitation of buried contamination by use of solvents
Solubilization studies were carried out on various cured silicone resins. A solvent spectrum was prepared. It was found that complete dissolution of cured silicone resins could be achieved without extensive physical degradation of samples. Based on the solubilization results, amine solvents were selected for spore viability studies.

Polyimidazopyrrolone model compounds.
Study of model reactions between phthalic anhydride and o-phenylenediamine under conditions analogous to the polymerization and post cyclization of dianhydrides with bis(o-diamines) to form polyimidazopyrrolones (Pyrrones). Solid-state thermal conversion of the amide-acid-amine affords a unique dimeric species containing amide, imide, and benzimidazole functions. It was confirmed that melt techniques lead to disproportionation products. The application of these findings to related polymer syntheses is discussed.

Transparent polymeric laminates
Laminate prepared from epoxy-boroxine and phenolphthalein polycarbonate has high mechanical strength at elevated temperature and is resistant to impact, fire, and high-energy thermal radiation. Polycarbonate is prepared by reaction of phenolphthalein with phosgene in presence of amine catalyst and immiscible organic solvent phase.

Quantitation of buried contamination by use of solvents
An investigation was made to determine (1) sporicidal properties of amine solvents that solubilize silicon resins, (2) recovery properties of a silicon potting compound (RTV 41) used in spacecraft, and (3) viability of spores during chemical curing of the potting compound. Results show that: (1) spores do remain viable during RTV 41 silicon potting chemical curing, and (2) spore recovery from cured silicon potting compound RTV 41 is very high when silicon rubber is dissolved in butylamine and series dilution with benzene prior to plate curing.

Quantitation of buried contamination by use of solvents
A method for determining the quantity of buried contamination using solvents is presented. A nonsporocidal method with which high spore recoveries are achievable from silicone coatings and potting compounds was developed. An extension of the method to silicon potting compound RTV 60 is reported. It is stated that spores remain viable during chemical curing of silicone potting compounds and more than ninety percent of the spore population is recoverable by amine dissolution and proper plating techniques.

Biological activity of ionene polymers
Ionene polymers are polyammonium salts with positive nitrogens in the backbone, resulting from the polycondensation of diamines with dihalides or from the polycondensation of halo amines. The mechanism of formation of ionene polymers of different structures and their biological activity is reviewed. The antimicrobial and antifungal properties are compared with low molecular weight ammonium salts. Ionenes were found to combine with DNA by means of ionic bonds to yield similar complexes to those obtained with polyamines (spermine and spermidine). They also combine with nerve cell receptors and exercise a more powerful and longer duration ganglionic blocking action than their monomeric analogs. The antiheparin activity of ionenes and the thromboresistance of elastomeric ionene heparin coatings is described. The enhanced biological activity of ionenes as compared with low molecular weight compounds is attributed to a cooperative effect of a large number of positive charges on the polymeric chains.

Drug effects on neuroendocrine regulation; Proceedings of the International Symposium, Snowmass-at-Aspen, Colo., July 17-19, 1972
Subjects related to the characterization of neuroendocrine systems are discussed, taking into account the need for the precise identification and rigorous description of their operations. Steroid effects on neuroendocrine system performance are considered along with biogenic amine effects on neuroendocrine systems and the influence of drugs of abuse on neuroendocrine behavior. Other topics explored include pituitary-adrenal influences on avoidance and approach behavior of the rat, the adrenocortical mediation of the effects of early life experiences, and the implication of noradrenaline in avoidance learning in the rat. Individual items are announced in this issue.

Interstellar molecules - Origin by catalytic reactions on grain surfaces
To determine the compound distribution formed by surface catalysis, mixtures of CO, D2, and ND2 were heated with nickel-iron or montmorillonite clay catalysts for 49-214 hours at 250 to 300 C. Compounds identified include most of the known polyatomic interstellar molecules, as well as homologous series of acetylenes, dienes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, esters, nitriles, amines, etc., and cyclic compounds such as furans and pyrroles. These homologous series are uniquely characteristic of surface catalysis. A search for the heavier members of these series, predicted to occur at 1/10th to 1/1,000th the abundance of the lightest members, thus comprises a crucial test of this mechanism.

Method of preparing water purification membranes
Allyl amine and chemically related compounds are polymerized as thin films in the presence of a plasma discharge. The monomer compound can be polymerized by itself or in the presence of an additive gas to promote polymerization and act as a carrier. The polymerized films thus produced show outstanding advantages when used as reverse osmosis membranes.

Isomer effects on polyimide properties
The effect of structure variation on the solubility and glass-transition temperature of polyimide polymers is investigated. The addition of alkyl substituents to an aromatic ring in the polymer molecule, the reduction in the number of imide rings per average polymer chain-length, and a variation in the symmetry of the polymer molecule are studied. The synthesis of key intermediates for the preparation of the monomers required in this investigation is reported along with progress made in the synthesis of polyimide-precursor amines that contain functional groups to allow for post-cure cross-linking.

Heat detection and compositions and devices therefor
Temperature change of a substrate such as a microelectronic component is sensed and detected by means of a mixture of a weak molecular complex of an electron donor compound such as an organic amine and an electron acceptor compound such as nitroaromatic compound. The mixture is encapsulated in a clear binder such as a vinyl resin.
