Quantal theory of Coulomb absorption in heavy-ion scattering

The component in the heavy-ion optical potential due to the Coulomb coupling to inelastic channels has been calculated using the on-energy-shell approximation for the intermediate-channel Green's functions. Closed expressions were derived for the Coulomb polarization potential representing coupling to all orders in the K = 0 rotational band. As a test of this general aproach for coupling to higher states, elastic-scattering calculations were performed with a truncated expression which included reorientation in the 2⁺ state and coupling to the 4⁺ state to all orders. Comparison with coupled-channels calculations indicate the increasing importance of off-shell effects with increasing coupling strength. An analytical estimate of offshell effects is presented. Limits on the range of validity of the optical-potential approach are determined.

Synthesis of substituted 4H-thiazolo[4,5-b][1]benzothiopyran-4-ones as possible schistosomicidal agents

Summary Interaction of ethyl 2-acetamido-5-bromothiazole-4-carboxylate (2) with 2-methyl-5-chlorothiophenol (3) afforded the thioether4, which was hydrolysed to the corresponding carboxylic acid5. Attempted cyclization of5 to6 yielded the decarboxylated product7. On the other hand, interaction of 2-acetamido-5-bromothiazole (9) with thiosalicylic acid (10) yielded the thioether11, which was cyclized to compound12. Acid hydrolysis of12 yielded the amino derivative13, which was reacted with certain selected alkyl halides using sodium hydride to afford compounds14–18.

Zusammenfassung Die Reaktion von Ethyl 2-Acetamido-5-bromthiazol-4-carboxylat (2) mit 2-Methyl-5-chlorthiophenol (3) ergab den Thioether4, der zur entsprechenden Carbonsäure5 hydrolysiert wurde. Die versuchte Cyclisierung von5 zu6 ergab das Decarboxylierungsprodukt7. Andererseits ergab die Reaktion von 2-Acetamido-5-bromthiazol (9) mit Thiosalizylsäure (10) den Thioether11, der zu Verbindung12 cyclisiert werden konnte.

Heterocycles from nitrile oxides. II . 1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-ones

Condensation of arylnitrile oxides with α-amino acid esters, other than those of glycine and analine, has been found to constitute a synthetic route to the hitherto unknown 1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-ones 7. α-Amino alcohols yield with nitrile oxides the corresponding acyclic N-(arylhydroxamoyl)amino alcohols, which are also accessible by borohydride reduction of compounds 7 . In contrast, the adducts formed from nitrile oxides and α-amino acids are unstable; they decompose readily into the aldehyde, derived from the amino acid, together with the aldoxime, derived from the nitrile oxide. Both decomposition products are also formed when compounds 7 are subjected to mild hydrolysis.     

9-Imino(amino)-10-sila-2-azaanthracenes

9-Imino derivatives of dihydrosilaazaanthracenes were obtained from 10,10-diorganosila-2-azaanthrones. It was shown by PMR spectroscopy that they exist in the form of Z and E isomers. The azomethines were reduced to secondary amines, from which the N-acyl derivatives were obtained.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 126–129, January, 1989.     

Factors affecting the ultramicro-determination of tryptophan,kynurenine and their derivatives

The factors affecting the ultramicrodetermination of tryptophan and kynurenine were investigated by paper electrophoresis, paper chromatography and spectrophotometry. The electrolyte used in electrophoresis influences the mobility, the separation and the ultraviolet spectra of tryptophan and kynurenine. The pre-treatment of filter paper for chromatography did not influence the R_F of tryptophan and kynurenine, but interfered with their quantitative determination. The effect of ultraviolet irradiation of d-, l-, and dl-tryptophan as well as d-, l-, and dl-kynurenine was studied.     

An inter-laboratory comparison study for the determination of copper and lead from the wastewater of printed circuit board manufacturing industry in Pakistan

This inter-laboratory comparison study was arranged for 28 laboratories from different public and private sector organizations in Pakistan having wastewater testing capabilities aimed at improving the quality and comparability of test results. This national inter-laboratory study was started in December 2003 and completed in July 2004. Laboratories were invited to analyze the wastewater collected from printed circuit board (PCB) industry for lead and copper contamination. The samples fulfill the criteria for homogeneity and stability as done by the reference laboratory. The results obtained from participating laboratories were analyzed in terms of Hampel Test for outliers, while the performance evaluation of the participating laboratories was done on the basis of Z-score. An assigned value derived from the participant's results was compared with a reference value provided by a reference laboratory. Overall >50% of the participating laboratories have shown good performance in this PT-program     

Crystal structure,shape analysis and bioactivity of new LiI,NaI and MgII complexes with 1,10‐phenanthroline and 2‐(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)acetic acid

Reactions of 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) and 2‐(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)acetic acid (dcaH) with M_n(CO₃) (M = Li^I, Na^I and Mg^II; n = 1 and 2) in MeOH yield the mononuclear lithium complex aqua[2‐(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)acetato‐κO](1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ²N,N′)lithium(I), [Li(C₈H₅Cl₂O₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)] or [Li(dca)(phen)(H₂O)] ( 1 ), the dinuclear sodium complex di‐μ‐aqua‐bis{[2‐(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)acetato‐κO](1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ²N,N′)sodium(I)}, [Na₂(C₈H₅Cl₂O₂)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)₂] or [Na₂(dca)₂(phen)₂(H₂O)₂] ( 2 ), and the one‐dimensional chain magnesium complex catena‐poly[[[diaqua(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ²N,N′)magnesium]‐μ‐2‐(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)acetato‐κ²O:O′] 2‐(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)acetate monohydrate], {[Mg(C₈H₅Cl₂O₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂](C₈H₅Cl₂O₂)·H₂O}_n or {[Mg(dca)(phen)(H₂O)₂](dca)·H₂O}_n ( 3 ). In these complexes, phen binds via an N,N′‐chelate pocket, while the deprotonated dca^? ligands coordinate either in a monodentate (in 1 and 2 ) or bidentate (in 3 ) fashion. The remaining coordination sites around the metal ions are occupied by water molecules in all three complexes. Complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The Li⁺ ion adopts a four‐coordinated distorted seesaw geometry comprising an [N₂O₂] donor set. Complex 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with half a molecule in the asymmetric unit, in which the Na⁺ ion adopts a five‐coordinated distorted spherical square‐pyramidal geometry, with an [N₂O₃] donor set. Complex 3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁, with one Mg²⁺ ion, one phen ligand, two dca^? ligands and three water molecules in the asymmetric unit. Both dcaH ligands are deprotonated, however, one dca^? anion is not coordinated, whereas the second dca^? anion coordinates in a bidentate fashion bridging two Mg²⁺ ions, resulting in a one‐dimensional chain structure for 3 . The Mg²⁺ ion adopts a distorted octahedral geometry, with an [N₂O₄] donor set. Complexes 1 – 3 were evaluated against urease and α‐glucosidase enzymes for their inhibition potential and were found to be inactive.
