Tricyclic heteroaromatic ring systems II A convenient synthesis of 1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolines

Various quinol-4-yl hydrazones on heating in high boiling solvents undergo cyclizations to give lH-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolines in good yields. Some of these pyrroloquinolines were alkylated to provide their N-alkyl derivatives.     

Separation of human alloalbumin variants by isoelectric focusing

A technique for the separation of human alloalbumin variants by means of isoelectric focusing in the presence of 8M urea and 60 mM L-serine is described. The potential usefulness of this technique in the detection and classification of genetic heterogeneity at the albumin locus is demonstrated by the differentiation of three human alloalbumin variants of European origin.     

Microbial hydroxylation of sclareol by Rhizopus stolonifer

Incubation of sclareol with Rhizopus stolonifer affords in high yield a mixture of triols with 18-hydroxy-sclareol as the main component.     

Arylindoles. III. Mannich reaction of 1-arylindoles

1-Phenyl-, and 1-nitrophenylindoles when subjected to Mannich reaction conditions gave the corresponding 3-dialkylaminomethyl derivatives ( IIc-IIk ) in good yields.     

Sparkle/AM1 structure modeling of lanthanum (III) and lutetium (III) complexes

The sparkle/AM1 model for the quantum chemical prediction of coordination polyhedron crystallographic geometries from isolated lanthanide complex ion calculations, defined recently for Eu(III), Gd(III), and Tb(III) (Inorg. Chem. 2005, 44, 3299) is now extended to La(III) and Lu(III). Thus, for each of the metal ions we chose a training set of 15 complexes that possess various representative ligands of high crystallographic quality (R factor < 0.05 Angstroms) and oxygen and/or nitrogen as coordinating atoms. In the validation procedure we used a set of 60 more La(III) coordination compound structures, as well as 15 more Lu(III) coordination compound structures, all of high crystallographic quality. For both the 75 La(III) compounds and the 30 Lu(III) compounds, the Sparkle/AM1 unsigned mean error, for all interatomic distances between the metal ions and the ligand atoms of the first sphere of coordination, is 0.08 Angstroms, thus comparable to the accuracy normally achievable by present day ab initio/ECP calculations, while being hundreds of times faster.     

The Convergence Analysis of the Decomposition Method for the (1+1)-Parabolic Problem in Nonuniform Media

A modified Adomian decomposition method is used to find approximate solutions for the reaction diffusion convection equation in nonuniform medium, i.e., with space-dependent coefficients. In this approach, the solutions are found in the form of a convergent power series with easily computed components. Convergence analysis of modified Adomian series solution for a class of these type of PDEs is discussed.
