Schwinger boson mapping of SO(8) fermion model

The Schwinger representation of the SO(8) fermion pair algebra in terms ofd and quasispin vector (u, s, v) bosons is used in deriving a microscopic boson coherent state having both particle-hole and pair excitations. The coherent state is the exact boson image of the HFB variational solution. We can study the shape phase transition and pairing behaviour of the nuclear ground states using the coherent states.

Substituted 2‐acetylphenyl 5‐methyl‐3‐phenylisoxazole‐4‐carboxylate 3a , 3b , 3c , 3d , 3e , 3f , 3g , 3h were converted into 1‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐3‐(5‐methyl‐3‐phenylisoxazole‐4‐yl)propane‐1,3‐dione 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d , 4e , 4f , 4g , 4h by Baker–Venketaraman transformation. Further, the cyclodehydration of diketone 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d , 4e , 4f , 4g , 4h with glacial acetic acid in conc. HCl at reflux gave corresponding substituted 2‐(5‐methyl‐3‐phenylisoxazole‐4‐yl)‐4H‐chromen‐4‐one 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f , 5g , 5h . The corresponding 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f , 5g , 5h react with hydrazine hydrate in presence of glacial acetic acid in ethanol at reflux to furnish 2‐(5‐5(5‐methyl‐3‐phenylisoxazole‐4‐yl)‐1H‐pyrazole‐3‐yl)phenol 6a , 6b , 6c , 6d , 6e , 6f , 6g , 6h . The structures of all newly synthesized compounds have been confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, mass spectral data, as well as elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds have been screened for their antimicrobial activity. Some of the compounds show better antimicrobial activity as compared with the reference drugs Streptomycin, Ampicillin, Gentamycin, Cefixime, and Ketoconazole.     

A Simple Strategy for the Preparation of 6-Substituted 3H-Benzoxazol-2-ones and 3H-Benzothiazol-2-ones

The double metallation of 6-bromo-3H-benzothiazol-2-one and 6-bromo-3H-benzoxazol-2-one with methyl magnesium bromide and alkyllithium bases is described. Alkylation with a variety of electrophiles occurs at the 6-position of the heterocycles in good yields.      

Diabolic pair transfer and oscillating behavior of backbending in rotating nuclei

Quantum effects generate “channels” which guide a nucleus from ground state to scission. We present here the channels of²⁵⁸Fm and relate them to the measured kinetic energies of the fission products, to the mass asymmetry and to the relative abundance of the various fission components. The microscopic reason is discussed.     

Arylbenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">h</Emphasis>][1, 6]naphthyridine Derivatives: Synthesis and Photophysical Properties

Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling was successfully used for C5-arylation in 4-amino-2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde using arylbornic acid and tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium catalyst in water. Friedländer condensation reaction on 4-amino-2-chloro/2-arylquinoline-3-carbaldehyde and aromatic ketones gave novel aryl and diarylbenzo[h] [1, 6]naphthyridines in good yields. Fluorescence quantum yields were increased by introducing C2 and C5 π donor aryl benzo[h][1, 6]naphthyridines derivatives.

Syntheses of New Unsymmetrical 2,5‐Disubstituted‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoles and 1,2,4‐Triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazoles Bearing Thieno[2,3‐c]pyrazolo Moiety

New series of (thieno[2,3‐c]pyrazolo‐5‐yl)‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles 10a , 10b , 10c and (thieno[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐5‐yl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazol‐3(2H)‐yl)ethanones 6a , 6b , 6c has been synthesized from thieno[2,3‐c]pyrazole‐5‐carbohydrazide 3 by multistep reaction sequence. (5‐Aryl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazol‐2‐yl)‐1H‐thieno[2,3‐c]pyrazoles 4a , 4b , 4c were also synthesized from thieno[2,3‐c]pyrazole‐5‐carbohydrazide 3 by cyclization with various aromatic carboxylic acids. The hydrazide 3 was obtained by reaction of thieno[2,3‐c]pyrazole‐5‐carboxylate 2 with hydrazine hydrate in good yield, and compound 2 was obtained by the reaction of 5‐chloro‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐4‐carbaldehyde 1 and 2‐ethyl thioglycolate in presence of sodium alcoholate in good yield.     

New Synthesis and Reactions of Ethyl 5‐amino‐4‐cyano‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxylate

Synthesis of ethyl 5‐amino‐4‐cyano‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxylate 5 has been achieved via abnormal Beckmann rearrangement of o‐chloroaldehyde 1 . Reaction of o‐aminocarbonitrile 5 with concentrated H₂SO₄ furnished expected o‐aminocarboxamide pyrazole 6 . Key intermediates o‐aminocarbonitrile 5 and o‐aminocarboxamide 6 were successfully utilized for the synthesis of pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives. The replacement of Cl in o‐chlorocarbonitrile 3 with secondary amine furnished new synthon 13 , which was further used for the synthesis of polysubstituted heterocycles. The obtained new products were well characterized by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and mass spectra.     

Liquid–liquid extraction of uranium(VI) using cyanex 272 in toluene from sodium salicylate medium

Liquid–liquid extraction and separation studies of uranium have been carried out from sodium salicylate media using cyanex 272 in toluene. Uranium was quantitatively extracted by 1 × 10⁻³ M sodium salicylate with 5 × 10⁻⁴ M cyanex 272 in toluene. The extracted uranium(VI) was stripped out quantitatively from the organic phase with 1.0 M hydrochloric acid and determined spectrophotometrically with arsenazo(III) at 660 nm. The effect of concentration of sodium salicylate, extractant, diluents, metal ion and strippants has been studied. Separation of uranium(VI) from other elements was achieved from binary as well as from multicomponent mixtures. The method was extended for the separation and determination of uranium(VI) in geological samples. The method is simple, rapid and selective with good reproducibility (approximately ± 2%).
