A new simple route to deoxyamino sugars from non-sugar material: synthesis of d-tolyposamine and 4-epi-d-tolyposamine and formal synthesis of d-vicenisamine

A new, simple strategy has been formulated for the synthesis of deoxyamino sugars from a non-sugar starting material. Starting from the enantiomerically pure diol obtained from ethyl sorbate by Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, the synthesis of two types of 2,3,4,6-tetradeoxy-4-amino sugars—d-tolyposamine and 4-epi-d-tolyposamine—, and formal synthesis of 2,4,6-trideoxy-4-amino sugar—d-vicenisamine—were performed.     

NMR study of prssure-induced magnetic transition in EuSe

The zero-field ¹⁵³Eu NMR in EuSe has been observed as a function of the pressure up to 14 kbar in the temperature range between 1.7 and 4.2 K. A sequent magnetic phase transition of NSNS-NNS-NNSS-NNN occurs with pressure at 1.7 K. In the NNSS state (2.0 ? P ? 4.8 kbar) the NMR frequency v is insensitive to the pressure. In the ferromagnetic state (P ? 4.8 kbar) v depends remarkably on the pressure, and the exchange interaction between the nearest Eu neighbours J₁ is shown to increase rapidly with decreasing the Eu-Eu distance. The pressure dependences of the Eu hyperfine field suggest that the magnetic moment of a Eu²⁺ ion in the ferromagnetic state under pressure is smaller than the ideal saturation value at 0 K.     

Pressure effect on the anomalous electrical conductivity of magnetite

The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of magnetite was measured under hydrostatic pressure up to 18.4 kbar. It is found that the temperature of the conductivity maximum in the high temperature phase is more rapidly reduced by pressure (dT_m/dP = -4.1 K/kbar) than the Verwey temperature (dT_v/dP = -0.27 K/kbar). The discontinuous change of the conductivity at T_v appears to increase with applied pressure as a result of a lowering of T_m.     

Chirality control in oligothiophene through chiral wrapping

[structure: see text] Mixing oligothiophenes and polysaccharides, such as amylose and schizophyllan, affords novel inclusion complexes, in which oligothiophene guests adopt twisted conformation in the chiral channel created by left- or right-handed helical wrapping with the polysaccharide host polymers, leading to optical activity.     

First enantioselective synthesis of salinipostin A,a marine cyclic enol-phosphotriester isolated from Salinispora sp

Salinipostins are cyclic enol-phosphotriesters isolated from a marine-derived Salinispora sp. as antimalarial compounds. Herein, the first enantioselective synthesis of salinipostin A was achieved. Organocatalyst-mediated asymmetric cyclopropanation and regioselective cyclopropane ring opening were the key steps.     

Phase-sensitivity measurement of a 10-sensor array with erbium-doped fiber amplifier telemetry

We report what are believed to be the first measurements of the phase sensitivity of a fiber sensor array using multiple low-gain remotely pumped amplifiers with an interferometric sensor inserted. The measured phase sensitivities for individual rungs average 5.7 microrad(rms)/ radicalHz and exhibit no dependence on rung number, in agreement with predictions.     

Base-mediated cyclization reaction of 2-alkynylphenylphosphine oxides: synthesis and photophysical properties of benzo[b]phosphole oxides

The base-mediated intramolecular cyclization reaction of 2-alkynylphenylphosphine oxides affords benzo[ b]phosphole oxides, which show intense blue-green fluorescence. Benzo[ b]phospholes are also prepared by the reduction of benzo[ b]phosphole oxides.     

Weak-type Estimates and Potential Estimates for Elliptic Equations with Drift Terms

We consider divergence form elliptic equations with a strongly singular drift term ?d i v(A?u)+b??u=μ in a domain \({\Omega } \subset \mathbb {R}^{n}\) (n≥3). We give a weak-type \(L^{1} - L^{n / (n - 2), \infty }\) estimate for a solution to the Dirichlet problem with homogeneous boundary condition. Moreover, we give a two-sided pointwise potential estimate for a weak solution and its applications.     

The Wolff potential estimate for solutions to elliptic equations with signed data

In this note, we obtain sharp bounds for the Green’s function of the linearized Monge–Ampère operators associated to convex functions with either Hessian determinant bounded away from zero and infinity or Monge–Ampère measure satisfying a doubling condition. Our result is an affine invariant version of the classical result of Littman–Stampacchia–Weinberger for uniformly elliptic operators in divergence form. We also obtain the L ^p integrability for the gradient of the Green’s function in two dimensions. As an application, we obtain a removable singularity result for the linearized Monge–Ampère equation.     

Consecutive disilanylsilylene to silyldisilene rearrangements

Thermolysis of 2,3-benzo-1,4-diphenyl-7-silanorbornadiene derivatives 1 in the presence of 2,3-dimethylbutadienes gave the trapping products of the corresponding bissilylene, disilenylsilylene, and a tetrasila-1,3-butadiene, via a consecutive disilanylsilylene to silyldisilene rearrangement.
