Synthesis and Structures of the Novel Pyridoxal Oxime Derivatives

Novel pyridoxal oxime derivatives were prepared and characterized by means of IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of the 3-hydroxy-4-hydroxyiminomethyl-5-hydroxymethyl-1,2-dimethylpyridinium iodide 1 and 3-hydroxy-4-hydroxyiminomethyl-5-hydroxymethyl-1,2-dimethylpyridinium chloride monohydrate 2 were determined by X-ray analysis. The both compounds crystallize in the triclinic crystal system, space group P . Crystal data: 1 a = 6.286(2) Å, b = 8.748(4) Å, c = 11.736(4) Å, = 104.02(3)°, = 94.70(3)°, = 107.44(6)°, V = 589.0(4) ų, Z = 2, R = 0.0526; 2 a = 6.8980(5) Å, b = 8.6409(6) Å, c = 11.1777(6) Å, = 111.138(5)°, = 93.114(6)°, = 105.158(5)°, V = 591.57(7) ų, Z = 2, R = 0.0492. The bond distances and angles in both structures agree very well. The main difference between these structures was observed in the orientation of the hydroxymethyl group with respect to the pyridinium ring. In the both structures intramolecular hydrogen bond forming six-membered ring were observed. The intermolecular OsI hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure of the compound 1 form dimers. In the crystal structure of compound 2, the water molecules and chlorines build eight-membered rings, which are also connected to pyridinium cations by OsCl and OsO intermolecular hydrogen bonds forming a three-dimensional network.     

Computation of Fourier transform quantities in Hartree–Fock calculations for simple crystals

An efficient method is presented to compute the Fourier transforms of lattice sums over Slater-type orbital products that arise in crystal Hartree–Fock calculations. Introduction of one-dimensional integral representations for the Fourier transforms of the STO 'S enables a separation of the three infinite sums under the (two-dimensional) integral sign. This, in turn, makes it possible to calculate and store quantities associated with the three Fourier transform vector components separately. The orbital transform integrations are then performed numerically. The method is very advantageous when lattice sum transforms are needed for a large number of transform vectors. Formulas and results are presented for simple-cubic crystals when 1s, 2s, and 2p Slater orbitals are involved.     

Screening for unknown compounds in complex matrices analysed by liquid chromatography: An overview

Rapid scanning UV/visible spectrophotometry, video fluorimetry, mass spectrometry and electrochemical characterization hold great promise for structure elucidation of components of complex mixtures separated by HPLC. As technology continues to improve, newer techniques, such as Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy, are emerging as alternative or complementary methods of detection.     

Slater-orbital molecular integrals by numerical Fourier-transform methods. II. Four-center integrals over is orbitals

The four-center nonplanar electron repulsion integrals over 1s Slater-type atomic orbitals are considered by a numerical Fourier-transform method. It is shown that the highly oscillating integrand appearing in the Fourier inversion formula could be successfully treated by using Tchebyscheff quadrature. The resulting formulas are thoroughly discussed with particular emphasis on their numerical features and convergence properties. It follows that the aforementioned integrals may be calculated with a good accuracy with a moderate amount of computing time.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure Determination of 6-(N-Isopropyl)Amidino-2-Methylbenzothiazole Hydrochloride Monohydrate and 2-Amino-6-(N-Isopropyl)Amidinobenzothiazole Hydrochloride

Two novel substituted amidino-benzothiazoles 6-(N-isopropyl)amidino-2-methylbenzothiazole 4 and 2-amino-6-(N-isopropyl)amidinobenzothiazole 6 were prepared in multistep synthesis in form of hydrochloride salts. They were characterized by means of IR, ¹H, and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The crystal structures have been also determined by X-ray analysis. Both compounds crystallize as colorless prisms in the triclinic crystal system, space group P . Crystal data: (4) a = 8.741(4) Å, b = 9.602(7) Å, c = 9.946(2) Å, = 63.94(3)°, = 79.18(2)°, = 79.68(3)°, V = 732.1(6) ų, Z = R = 0.0396; a = 8.106(1) Å, b = 9.148(2) Å, c = 9.291(2) Å, = 104.83(1)°, = 103.36(2)°, = 90.62(1)°, V = 646.2(2) ų , Z = 2, R = 0.0376. The bond distances and angles in both structures are almost similar. Between these two structures was found the difference in the orientation of the 6-(N-isopropyl)amidino moiety with respect to the benzothiazole ring. In the crystal structures of the both compounds the intermolecular hydrogen bonds form three-dimensional networks.     

Synthesis and structural studies of C-5 aryl- and C-6 alkyl-substituted pyrimidine derivatives

C-5 and C-6 disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives 2–7 were synthesized. Introduction of the aryl rings at C-5 of pyrimidine moiety in 5 and 6 was performed using palladium-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling reaction. The novel C-6 fluorophenylalkylated 5-phenylpyrimidine derivative (7) was prepared by lithiation of 5-phenylpyrimidine (6) and subsequent reaction of thus obtained organolithium intermediate with p-fluoroacetophenone. The structures of 3, 4 and 6 were determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Both methoxy groups in these structures adopt a synperiplanar conformation with respect to the N1 and N3 atoms of the pyrimidine ring. The molecules of 3 and 4 are linked through weak Br···Br interactions into zig-zag chains. The molecules of 6 are assembled into layers by one C–H···O hydrogen bond, C–H···π and aromatic π···π stacking interactions.     

Nuclear photodisintegration without effective charges

It is explicitly shown that the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn electric dipole sum rule, for he case of nuclear photodisintegration, separates into a contribution due to dipole absorption by the nucleus as a whole, and a contribution representing excitation of the internal degrees of freedom (Bethe-Levinger sum rule). The concept of the “effective charge”, often employed in this connection, is not utilized in our derivation, and is seen to be not essential.     

Pharmaceutical analysis beyond compendial requirements

Recent ICH recommendations on test procedures and acceptance criteria for new drug substances of synthetic chemical origin and new drug products produced from them (Q6A) sets the frame for registration of new chemical entities. These requirements are automatically applied by all pharmaceutical companies to products in late developmental phases. Furthermore, and justifiably so, they do not provide any guideline for setting specifications other than those for residual solvents and residues of heavy metal catalysts. During development of new chemical entities, ICH requirements represent a minimum beyond which additional testing has to be carried out in order to accumulate a body of scientific data which may ultimately permit simplified testing. This information is furthermore needed for drafting of registration files. This presentation will provide information on salt and polymorph selection, as well as morphology of particles. The need for more sophisticated techniques for assay of trace impurities by LC/MS will be illustrated with examples of alkylating agents. Complementary information from techniques such as CE, orthogonal to HPLC, is often needed to ensure absence of additional impurities. Finally, beyond compendial characterisation of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, a commonly used excipient, by size exclusion chromatography with triple detection will be described.     

Two‐Dimensional Boron Hydride Sheets: High Stability,Massless Dirac Fermions,and Excellent Mechanical Properties

Two‐dimensional (2D) boron sheets have been successfully synthesized in recent experiments, however, some important issues remain, including the dynamical instability, high energy, and the active surface of the sheets. In an attempt to stabilize 2D boron layers, we have used density functional theory and global minimum search with the particle‐swarm optimization method to predict four stable 2D boron hydride layers, namely the C2/m, Pbcm, Cmmm, and Pmmn sheets. The vibrational normal mode calculations reveal all these structures are dynamically stable, indicating potential for successful experimental synthesis. The calculated Young's modulus indicates a high mechanical strength for the C2/m and Pbcm phases. Most importantly, the C2/m, Pbcm, and Pmmn structures exhibit Dirac cones with massless Dirac fermions and the Fermi velocities for the Pbcm and Cmmm structures are even higher than that of graphene. The Cmmm phase is reported as the first discovery of Dirac ring material among boron‐based 2D structures. The unique electronic structure of the 2D boron hydride sheets makes them ideal for nanoelectronics applications.     

Unavoidable collections of balls for censored stable processes

We study avoidability of collections of balls in bounded C^1,1$C^{1,1}$ opens sets for censored α  -stable processes, α∈(1,2)$\alpha \in (1,2)$. The results are analogous to the ones obtained for Brownian motion in Gardiner and Ghergu (2010) [11]. On the way we derive a Wiener–Aikawa-type criterion for minimal thinness with respect to the censored stable processes.
