Crystal and molecular structure of crenatine carbonate

The crystal and molecular structure of 1-ethyl-4-methoxy-9H-pyrido[3,4b]indole (crenatine) carbonate C₁₄H₁₄N₂O·H₂CO₃, (MS, m/z 226)M _R 288.3, a-carboline alkaloid, has been determined from X-ray diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the space group Pbca with cell parameters:a=11.616(4),b=18.450(8),c=12.992(5)Å,V=2784(2)ų,Z=8,D _calc=1.375 g cm^–3, (MoK)=0.71069Å,(Mo K)=0.94 cm^–1,F(000)=1216,R/R _w =8.2/10.3% for 1099 reflections. The ring system of the-carboline nucleus is planar. The title compound shows a two center hydrogen bond between the indole N-H group and the oxygen atom of a carbonate group. The structure does not display hydrogen bonding between-carboline groups but rather a bonding network involving the carbonate group.     

Operator stable laws: Series representations and domains of normal attraction

LetX,X ₁,X ₂,... be i.i.d. random vectors in ^d. The limit laws that can arise by suitable affine normalizations of the partial sums,S _n=X ₁+...+X _n, are calledoperator-stable laws. These laws are a natural extension to ^d of the stable laws on. Thegeneralized domain of attraction of [GDOA()] is comprised of all random vectorsX whose partial sums can be affinely normalized to converge to . If the linear part of the affine transformation is restricted to take the formn ^–B for some exponent operatorB naturally associated to thenX is in thegeneralized domain of normal attraction of [GDONA()]. This paper extends the theory of operator-stable laws and their domains of attraction and normal attraction.     

Rings of regular functions on nilpotent orbits and their covers

Summary LetG be a complex semisimple algebraic group with Lie algebra . Let be a nilpotentG-orbit, its ring of regular functions. We derive a formula for as aG-module and prove some partial results on a cover of . We then relate this formula to various existing multiplicity formulas forK-types in Harish-Chandra bimodules ofG.Supported by National Science Foundation Grant DMS-8505550     

Truncation error bounds for modified continued fractions with applications to special functions

Much recent work has been done to investigate convergence of modified continued fractions (MCF's), following the proof by Thron and Waadeland [35] in 1980 that a limit-periodic MCFK(a _n , 1;x ₁), with andnth approximant

Synthesis and molecular structure of [Al(CH3)2]2[C10H22N4] [Al(CH3)3]2: Condensation product of trimethylaluminum and a multidentate open-chain amine

The crystalline condensation product [Al(CH₃)₂]₂[C₁₀H₂₂N₄][Al(CH₃)₃]₂ is prepared from reaction of the multidentate open-chain amine 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine with trimethylaluminum in methylene chloride. The compound crystallized in the monoclinic space groupC2/c with unit cell parametersa=25.166(12),b=7.268(4),c=17.316(4) Å,=115.3(4)°, andD _c =1.06 g cm^–3 forZ=4. Least-squares refinement based on 1054 observed reflections with intensitiesI 3(I) in the range 2<2<45° led to a finalR factor of 0.053 (R _w =0.064). The title compound resides on a crystallographic center of symmetry with independent Al-N distances of 1.889(5), 2.058(5), and 2.030(5) Å.     

Defect of the five-thirds law using the Wiener-Hermite expansion

Application of the refined Wiener-Hermite expansion with moderate to high Reynolds numbers Re to homogeneous, isotropic turbulence is presented. The results show a defect to Kolmogorov's five-thirds law, increase in the absolute value of the exponent comparable with many theoretical predictions. Midrange spectra up to fluctuation Reynolds numbers of 10⁸ show little, if any, dependence of the defect on Re, as long as the initial spectra do not deviate too far from their equilibrium states. The renormalization scheme has also been proven to have no effect on the final shape of the spectrum.     

Mechanism of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-acylsulfamates

The kinetics of hydrolysis of a series of N-acylsulfamate esters p-XC₆H₄OSO₂NHCOR as models for more complex, biologically important compounds has been examined. Structure-reactivity, solvent-reactivity, thermodynamic data, etc. support a bimolecular mechanism involving water in the transition state (TS).     

The synthesis of 1,4-diazacycl[3,2,2]azine

The diazaanalog of “cycl[3,2,2]azine”, “1,4-diazacycl[3,2,2]azine” (1,4,7b-triazacyclopent-[cd]indene) and its 2-methyl derivative were prepared. These compounds are subject to facile acid-catalyzed hydrolysis affording substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines.     

Functionalization of saturated hydrocarbons. High temperature bromination of octahydropentalene. Part 19

The synthesis and thermal bromination of octahydropentalene was studied. The reaction afforded 1a,3a,4b,6b-tetrabromo-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropentalene (14) with remarkable regio- and stereospecificity. The structure of the product was determined by ¹H and ¹³C NMR data and single X-ray structural analysis. The treatment of octahydropentalene with tenfold bromine gave the octabromopentalene derivative. The formation mechanism of the products is discussed.
