In the phase transfer system solid calcium carbonate-acetonitrile, per acetate alpha-D-glucosaminilchloride glycosilate easily deprotoned isatine-3-oximes hydroxyl groups. It was found that the presence in the reaction mixture a catalytic amounts of 15-crown-5 accelerated the process twice. Obtained O-beta-D-glucosaminides were identified with 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Features of synthesized compound's NMR spectra are discussed in comparison with those of another N-acetylglucosamine 1-O-derivatives. The biological activity of the some oximes with different substituents in isatin residuum has been studied in a test of inhibition of bioluminescence of marine luminescent bacteria Photobacterium leiognathi Sh12. The nature of N-substituent of isatin fragment and 5-substituent of isatin main structure is compared with glycosides ability to suppress bacterial luminescence.

This study reports the chemical vapor deposition of amorphous boron carbonitride films on Si(100) and SiO2 substrates using a trimethylamine borane and nitrogen mixture. BCxNy films with different compositions were produced via variations in substrate temperature and type of gas-phase activation. The low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) methods were used. The “elemental composition—chemical bonding state—properties” relationship of synthesized BCxNy was systematically studied. The hydrophilicity, mechanical, and optical properties of the films are discussed in detail. The composition of films deposited by the LPCVD method at temperatures ranging from 673 to 973 K was close to that of boron carbide with a low nitrogen content (BCxNy). The refractive index of these films changed in the range from 2.43 to 2.56 and increased with temperature. The transparency of these films achieved 85%. LPCVD films were hydrophilic and the water contact angles varied between 53 and 63°; the surface free energy was 42–48 mN/m. The microhardness, Young’s modulus and elastic recovery of LPCVD films ranged within 24–28 GPa, 220–247 GPa, and 70–74%, respectively. The structure of the PECVD films was close to that of hexagonal boron nitride, and their composition can be described by the BCxNyOz:H formula. In case of the PECVD process, the smooth films were only produced at low deposition temperatures (373–523 K). The refractive index of these films ranged from 1.51 to 1.67. The transparency of these films achieved 95%; the optical band gap was evaluated as 4.92–5.28 eV. Unlike LPCVD films, they were very soft, and their microhardness, Young’s modulus and elastic recovery were 0.8–1.4 GPa, 25–26 GPa, and 19–28%, respectively. A set of optimized process parameters to fabricate LPCVD BCxNy films with improved mechanical and PECVD films with high transparency is suggested.
