α-Oxo Ketene Dithioacetals Chemistry-A Facile Route to the Synthesis of Fused Heterocyclic Compounds

Q-Oxo ketene dithioacetals and related compounds are versatile synthons in organicsynthesis'-'. The substitution reaction of or-oxo ketene dimethylthio acetals with diamineis one of the impel'tant applications for the synthesis of corresponding a-oxo ketenecyclic N, N-acetals. Junjappa and co-workers described this reaction ill a review'.However, since some kinds of ketene dimethylthio acetals are not easy to prepare, themethod melltioned above is limited. Zhu and co-workers had successfully…

Sol-gel derived nanocrystalline and mesoporous barium strontium titanate prepared at room temperature

Perovskite-type barium strontium titanate(BST) thin films and powders with nanocrystalline and mesoporous structure were prepared by a straightforward particulate sol-gel route at room temperature. The prepared sol had a narrow particle size distribution of about 20 nm. X-ray diffraction(XRD) revealed that phase composition and preferable orientation growth of BST depended upon the annealing temperature. Transmission electron microscope(TEM) images showed that the crystallite size of the powders decreased w...
