Imidazotetrazines as Weighable Diazomethane Surrogates for Esterifications and Cyclopropanations

Diazomethane is one of the most versatile reagents in organic synthesis, but its utility is limited by its hazardous nature. Although alternative methods exist to perform the unique chemistry of diazomethane, these suffer from diminished reactivity and/or correspondingly harsher conditions. Herein, we describe the repurposing of imidazotetrazines (such as temozolomide, TMZ, the standard of care for glioblastoma) for use as synthetic precursors of alkyl diazonium reagents. TMZ was employed to conduct esterifications and metal‐catalyzed cyclopropanations, and results show that methyl ester formation from a wide variety of substrates is especially efficient and operationally simple. TMZ is a commercially available solid that is non‐explosive and non‐toxic, and should find broad utility as a replacement for diazomethane.

BGK and Fokker-Planck Models of the Boltzmann Equation for Gases with Discrete Levels of Vibrational Energy

We propose two models of the Boltzmann equation (BGK and Fokker-Planck models) for rarefied flows of diatomic gases in vibrational non-equilibrium. These models take into account the discrete repartition of vibration energy modes, which is required for high temperature flows, like for atmospheric re-entry problems. We prove that these models satisfy conservation and entropy properties (H-theorem), and we derive their corresponding compressible Navier–Stokes asymptotics.
