SYNTHESES A L'AIDE D'HETEROCUMULENES. 6. CYCLOADDITION DIPOLAIRE-1,3 ENTRE LA DIPHENYLNITRILIMINE ET LES ISOCYANATES D'AROXYSULFONYLE ET DE TRICHLORO-2,2,2-ETHOXYSULFONYLE

Abstract

In accordance with a [2 + 3] cycloaddition, aroxy and 2,2,2-tri-chloroethoxysulfonyl isocyanates react with diphenylnitrilimine, to furnish, in high yield, the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazolines and 1,2,4-triazolines. The latter are formed too by a direct addition of α-chlorobenzylidene-phenylhydrazine to these heterocumulenes, followed by a dehydrohalogenation of the intermediates.

La cycloaddition [2 + 3] des isocyanates d'aroxy et de trichloro-2,2,2-éthoxysulfonyle sur la diphénylnitrilimine, fournit les oxadiazolines-1,3,4 et les triazolines-1,2,4 correspondants avec de hauts rendements. Ces měmes hétérocycles sont obtenus par une voie différente: addition directe de l'α-chlorobenzylidène-phénylhydrazine sur ces hétérocumulènes, suivie d'une déhydrohalogénation des intermédiaires ainsi formés dans la première étape de la réaction.     

A Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for the Redundancy Allocation Problem

The Redundancy Allocation Problem generally involves the selection of components with multiple choices and redundancy levels that produce maximum system reliability given various system level constraints as cost and weight. In this paper we investigate the series–parallel redundant reliability problems, when a mixing of components was considered. In this type of problem both the number of redundancy components and the corresponding component reliability in each subsystem are to be decided simultaneously so as to maximise the reliability of system. A hybrid algorithm is based on particle swarm optimization and local search algorithm. In addition, we propose an adaptive penalty function which encourages our algorithm to explore within the feasible region and near feasible region, and discourage search beyond that threshold. The effectiveness of our proposed hybrid PSO algorithm is proved on numerous variations of three different problems and compared to Tabu Search and Multiple Weighted Objectives solutions.     

The Kinematics and the Full Minimal Dynamic Model of a 6-DOF Parallel Robot Manipulator

In this paper we present a particular architecture of parallel robots which has six-degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) with only three limbs. The particular properties of the geometric and kinematic models with respect to that of a classical parallel robot are presented. We show that inverse problems have an analytical solution. However, to solve the direct problems, an efficient numerical procedure which needs to inverse only a 3 × 3 passive Jacobian matrix is proposed. In a second step, dynamic equations are derived using the Lagrangian formalism where the joint variables are passive and active joint coordinates. Based on the geometrical properties of the robot, the equations of motion are derived in terms of only nine coordinates related by three kinematic constraints instead of 18 joint coordinates. The computational cost of the dynamic model obtained is reduced by using a minimum set of base inertial parameters.     

Addition of various unsaturated alcohols to sulfonylisocyanate derivatives: Synthesis of new unsaturated N-sulfonyl carbamates

The synthesis of new unsaturated N-sulfonylcarbamates by the addition of unsaturated alcohols to aroxy(alkoxy)sulfonylisocyanates is reported. The reaction is carried out at room temperature in the presence or absence of solvent, depending on the nature of the starting alcohol. The products were obtained in good yields and characterized with IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR and HRMS analyses.     

Boundary‐fitted non‐linear dispersive wave model for regions of arbitrary geometry

A vertically integrated non‐linear dispersive wave model is expressed in non‐orthogonal curvilinear co‐ordinate system for simulating shallow or deep water wave motions in regions of arbitrary geometry. Both dependent and independent variables are transformed so that an irregular physical domain is converted into a rectangular computational domain with contravariant velocities. Thus, the wall condition for enclosures surrounding a typical physical domain, such as a channel, port or harbor, is satisfied accurately and easily. The numerical scheme is based on staggered grid finite‐difference approximations, which result in implicit formulations for the momentum equations and semi‐explicit formulation for the continuity equation. Test cases of linear wave propagation in converging, diverging and circular channels are performed to check the reliability of model simulations against the analytical solutions. Cnoidal waves of different steepness values in a circular channel are also considered as examples to non‐linear wave propagation within curved walls. In closing, remarks concerning versatility and practical uses of the numerical model are made. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis of Highly Fluorinated Aryl N-Acylsulfamates and Evaluation of Their Surfactant Properties

Abstract

Reaction of highly fluorinated carboxylic acids with aroxysulfonylisocyanates in the presence of triethylamine allowed the preparation of the corresponding highly fluorinated aroxy-N-sulfonylsulfamates. The reaction proceeds with good yield in toluene at room temperature or more rapidly in the same solvent at 60 °C. Surface tension measurement at the air/water interface showed that these compounds constitute new excellent nonionic surfactants exhibiting high surface activity in the range of the best nonionic fluoro surfactants, already described in the literature. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) has been calculated from the surface tension measurements on surface aqueous solutions.     

INTRODUCTION DE SYSTÈMES CAGE DANS LES MOLÉCULES D'INTÉRĚT BIOLOGIQUE. 2. ALKYLATION DES ESTERS SULFAMIQUES AU MOYEN D'UN DÉRIVÉ DE L'ADAMANTANE

Abstract

Sulfamic esters of the general type R[sbnd]O[sbnd]SO₂[sbnd]NH₂ were alkylated under solid-liquid, liquid-liquid phase transfer catalysis conditions and by noncatalytic procedure, in homogeneous medium, in the presence of an equimolar amount of triethylamine, by means of a 1-adamantyl bromomethyl ketone. According to the procedure and the nature of R, these reactions yield the N-monoalkyl, N-dialkyl derivatives or a cleavage of the O[sbnd]SO₂ bond with formation of the O-alkylation products.

Selon la méthode utilisée et la nature du radical R. on aboutit à des dérivés N-monoalkylés, N-dialkylés ou à la scission de la liaison O[sbnd]SO₂ avec formation de produits de O-alkylation.     

Visible photoluminescence in porous GaAs capped by GaAs

A typical porous structure with pores diameters ranging from 10 to 50 nm has been obtained by electrochemical etching of (1 0 0) heavily doped p-type GaAs substrate in HF solution. Room temperature photoluminescence (PL) investigations of the porous GaAs (π-GaAs) reveal the presence of two PL bands, I₁ and I₂, located at 1.403 and 1.877 eV, respectively. After GaAs capping, the I₁ and I₂ PL bands exhibit opposite shift trends. However, the emission efficiency of these two bands is not strongly modified. Low temperature PL of capped porous GaAs versus injection levels shows that the I₁ PL band exhibits a red shift while the I₂ PL band exhibits a blue shift with increasing injection levels. The I₂ PL band intensity temperature dependence shows an anomalous behaviour and its energy location shows a blue shift as temperature increases. The observed PL bands act independently and are attributed to electron – hole recombination in porous GaAs and to the well-known quantum confinement effects in GaAs nanocrystallites. The I₂ PL band excitation power and temperature dependencies were explained by the filling effect of GaAs nanocrystallites energy states.     

Staudinger–Vilarassa reaction versus Huisgen reaction for the control of surface hydrophobicity and water adhesion

Surface modifications are keys for a great number of applications. In order to perfectly control the surface properties, it is important to control the modification pathways. Two general pathways can be described in order to introduce modification on surfaces: the post‐strategies and the ante‐strategies. In this work, we focus on the comparison between the Huisgen and the Staudinger–Vilarrasa reaction for both post‐surface and ante‐surface modifications. Here, we focused on the possibility to use both two reactions to obtain superhydrophobic and oleophobic properties. This work includes monomer synthesis, surface modifications with alkyl, aryl or perfluoroalkyl chain. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
