Painleve' analysis of a variable coefficient Sine-Gordon equation

In this paper we study a variable coefficient Sine-Gordon (vSG) equation given by theta(tt)-theta(xx)+F(x,t)sin theta=0 where F(x,t) is a real function. To establish if it may be integrable we have performed the standard test of Weiss, Tabor, and Carnevale (WTC). We have got that the (vSG) equation has the Painleve' property (Pp) if the function F(x,t) satisfies a well-defined nonlinear partial differential equation. We have found the general solution of this last equation and, consequently, the functions F(x,t) such that the (vSG) equation possesses the (Pp), are given by F(x,t)=F(1)(x+t)F(2)(x-t) where F(1)(x+t) and F(2)(x-t) are arbitrary functions. Using this last result we have obtained some particular solutions of the vSG equation. (c) 1995 American Institute of Physics.

YETI: An interactive molecular mechanics program for small-molecule protein complexes

YETI, an interactive molecular mechanics program for drug-design applications on small-molecule protein complexes, is described. To model short-range interactions in better agreement with experimental data, its force-field energy expression includes directional potential functions for H-bonds, salt linkages, and metal ligand interactions. The program works on an internal coordinate concept and uses a conjugate-gradient minimizer. YETI is available for distribution through the author. The program has been used to model details of small-molecule binding to the enzyme human carbonic anhydrase I. The impact of the directional potential functions on the geometry of H-bonds and metal-ligand interactions is discussed.     

Acid catalyzed hydrolysis of brotizolam,a thienotriazolodiazepine: Spectroscopic study

The acid catalyzed hydrolysis of the thienotriazolodiazepine, Brotizolam, 2-bromo-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-9-methyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine ( 1 ), has been studied spectrometrically (ir, pmr, cmr, and ms). The cleavage reaction of the azomethine bond is reversible and the open-ring compound is in equilibrium with the ring closed compound (protonated form of the parent drug).     

N,O-heterocyclics. 13. Isoxazolidinium salts as synthons to N,N, O-trisubstituted hydroxylamines

Substituted isoxazolidinium salts react with lithium aluminium hydride to yield open-ring products which have hydroxylamine structures. The bimolecular reaction-mechanism has been investigated by substituent effect and the structure of the products ascertained by spectroscopic methods with the aid of the MIKE technique. The overall process of the ring-opening substitution is controlled by the polarisation of the C? N bond with steric and conformational factors acting mainly at the C-5 position of the nucleus. The mechanism of isoxazolidinium ion reaction defines the use of these synthons towards the synthesis of N,N,O-trisubstituted hydroxylamines and substituted 1,3-amino-alcohols.     

Copper bronze catalyzed Heck reaction in ionic liquids

Heck reaction of aryl iodides and activated aryl bromides catalyzed by copper bronze in tetrabutylammonium bromide as solvent and tetrabutylammonium acetate as base was developed. The effective catalysts are Cu nanoparticles deriving from the reaction of iodobenzene with copper bronze. These nanoparticles are very stable in tetraalkylammonium salts, are easily recycled, and can be stored for months without a loss of catalytic efficiency. [reaction: see text]     

CIS 1,2-functionalization of cyclohexane using selenium intermediates

The trans 1,2-phenylseleno acetate, acetamide, alcohol and nitrile of cyclohexane may be oxidized at selenium by halogens and the phenylseleno moiety displaced by halide to give high yields of 1,2 halide-containing products with cis geometry.
