Multiple bond migration with participation of a protophilic agent

The pathways of migration of the multiple bond in propene and propyne molecules involving the hydroxide ion were investigated by theab initio (RHF/6-31+G^* and MP2/6-31+G^*) methods. Stationary points corresponding to stable complexes between the molecules under study and the hydroxide ion and between corresponding carbanions and water molecule were found on the potential energy surfaces of the proton transfer reactions. In the presence of hydroxide ion, migration of the multiple bond can occur by an “intramolecular” mechanism of the proton transfer involving the proton of hydroxide ion bound in the complex with propene or propyne molecule. For the propene system, such a mechanism seems to be quite realistic and more preferable energetically than a traditional two-stage mechanism with a passage of the proton into the medium. For the system with the triple bond, an equal expenditure of energy is required to follow any mechanism (without taking into account the effects of solvation and the interaction with a cation), whereas the formation of the stable [H₂C=C=CH·H₂O]⁻ complex can prevent further transformations.

Meyer-Emery inequalities for norms of stochastic integrals with a parameter

We consider stochastic integrals with a parameter in the components. Inequalities for the functional norms of stochastic integrals are derived, generalizing the known inequalities of M. Emery [1] and P.-A. Meyer [2] to triples of spaces connected by the multiplication operation.Translated from Issledovaniya po Prikladnoi Matematike, Kazan', No. 14, pp. 134–143, 1987.     

Solvatochromism of Heteroaromatic Compounds: X. 2-Phenylpyrrolide Anion

2-Phenylpyrrolide anion was obtained in high-polarity media containing MeONa as an ionizing agent. The bathochromic shift of the long-wave absorption band in going from the neutral to deprotonated form is explained by the difference in the molecular orbital characteristics of the parent molecule and the anion, as well as the by change in the equilibrium conformation on deprotonation. According to ab initio calculations, the conformational rearrangement contributes partly to the observed shift; the greatest contribution is from the destabilization of the highest occupied molecular orbital.     

Laser-induced spatial structures in a chemically active gas-phase medium illuminated by annular diffracting beams

The laws governing the propagation of diffracting beams in a two-component gaseous mixture are investigated on the basis of a computer simulation. It is discovered that several regions with high concentrations of the reaction product form. It is also found that the beam focus can move both in the direction of beam propagation and in the counter direction, and the change in its position can occur abruptly. It is shown that as time goes on, a high concentration of the reaction product is achieved in the central unilluminated region of the medium near the entrance cross section on account of diffusion (i.e., a diffusional concentration growth occurs). This leads to the formation of a dynamic concentration maximum in this region of the medium. Zh. Tekh. Fiz. 68, 8–14 (March 1998)     

Condensation of ketoximes with phenylacetylene

2-Methyl-5-phenyl- and 2,5-diphenylpyrrole and 2-phenyl-, Z-[1-(2-phenylvinyl)]-3-phenyl-, and 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole, and 2,4-diphenyl-3,3-dimethyl-5-hydroxypyrroline have been obtained from the reaction of ketoximes with phenylacetylene, catalyzed by KOH-DMSO.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 485–488, April, 1992.
