Gleichverteilung und Quadratwurzelschnecke

A new proof of a theorem of W. Neiss is given that the rays of the Quadratwurzelschnecke are uniformly distributed mod 2 . The exact order of the discrepancy of the sequence is determined. Multidimensional generalizations of this sequence are also considered. It is shown that the Quadratwurzelschnecke is something like a roulette.

Der quadratfreie Kern der Eulerschen φ-Funktion

It is shown by a simple induction that any square-free natural number is the square-free kernel of Euler's -function of infinitely many natural numbers. Furthermore every square-free natural number >1 is the square-free kernel of Euler's -function of infinitely many square-numbers.     

Synthesis of 2‐Dihydrooxadiazolinyl Chromones

Reactions of the substituted 2‐formyl chromones with aroylhydrazines gave corresponding 2‐(aroylhydrazonomethylidyne) chromones. Then 2‐(3′‐acetyl‐5′‐aryl‐2′,3′‐dihydro‐1′,3′,4′‐oxadiazol‐2′‐yl) chromones were prepared by these 2‐(aroylhydrazonomethylidyne) chromones under refluxing with Ac₂O. All target compounds were characterized through elemental analysis and IR, ¹H NMR, MS.     

The Mitsunobu Reaction: Origin,Mechanism, Improvements,and Applications

The Mitsunobu reaction is a widely used and versatile method for the dehydrative oxidation–reduction condensation of an acid/pronucleophile usually with a primary or secondary alcohol that requires the combination of a reducing phosphine reagent together with an oxidizing azo reagent. The utility of this reaction stems from the fact that it is generally highly stereoselective and occurs with inversion of the stereochemical configuration of the alcohol starting material. Furthermore, as carboxylic acids, phenols, imides, sulfonamides, and other compounds can be used as the acid/pronucleophile, this reaction is useful for the preparation of a wide variety of functional groups. This Focus Review of the Mitsunobu reaction summarizes its origins, the current understanding of its mechanism, and recent improvements and applications.     

Carbonyldinitrosyltris(fluorosulfato)tungstate(II) and ‐Molybdate(II) Anions: Synthesis,Spectroscopy, and Density Functional Theory Calculations

Carbonyldinitrosyltris(fluorosulfato)tungstate(II) and ‐molybdate‐(II) anions, [fac‐M(CO)(NO)₂(SO₃F)₃]^? (M=W, Mo), which are novel weakly coordinating anions that contain a metal carbonyl/nitrosyl moiety, have been generated in fluorosulfonic acid and completely characterized by multinuclear NMR, IR, and Raman spectroscopy as well as ESI mass spectrometry. ESI MS measurements performed for the first time on a superacidic solution system unambiguously reveal the formation of the monoanionic, mononuclear W and Mo complexes formulated as [M(CO)(NO)₂(SO₃F)₃]^? (M=W, Mo). Multinuclear NMR spectroscopic studies at natural abundance and ¹³C and ¹⁵N enrichment clearly indicate the presence of one CO ligand, two equivalent NO ligands, and two types of nonequivalent SO₃F^? groups in a 2:1 ratio. The IR and Raman spectra reveal that the two equivalent NO ligands have a cis conformation, thus indicating a fac structure. Density functional calculations at the B3LYP level of theory predict that these anions have a singlet ground state (¹A′) with a C_s symmetry along with C–O and N–O vibrational frequencies that are in agreement with the experimental observations. Mulliken population analysis shows that the monovalent negative charge is dispersed on the bulky sphere, the surface of which is covered by all the negatively charged O and F atoms with charge densities much lower than SO₃F^?, suggesting that [fac‐M(CO)(NO)₂(SO₃F)₃]^? (M=W, Mo) are weakly nucleophilic and poorly coordinating anions.     

Stationary phase evaluations of quantum rate constants

We compute the quantum rate constant based on two extended stationary phase approximations to the imaginary-time formulation of the quantum rate theory. The optimized stationary phase approximation to the imaginary-time flux-flux correlation function employs the optimized quadratic reference system to overcome the inaccuracy of the quadratic expansion in the standard stationary phase approximation, and yields favorable agreements with instanton results for both adiabatic and nonadiabatic processes in dissipative and nondissipative systems. The integrated stationary phase approximation to the two-dimensional barrier free energy is particularly useful for adiabatic processes and demonstrates consistent results with the imaginary-time flux-flux correlation function approach. Our stationary phase methods do not require calculation of tunneling paths or stability matrices, and work equally well in the high-temperature and the low-temperature regimes. The numerical results suggest their general applicability for calibration of imaginary-time methods and for the calculation of quantum rate constants in systems with a large number of degrees of freedom.     

Folded chain crystals as micro-phases

Summary A thermodynamic treatment of homo-polymer systems out of linear chains with folded chain crystals is developed outgoing from appropriate models for single component systems. An expansion of thermodynamics to multi-micro-phase systems the structure of which is partially or totaly frozen is indispensable. General properties of melt crystallized homopolymers with folded chain crystals can be recognized indeed when the thermodynamic formalisms developed are applied.

Zusammenfassung Das Schmelzen in polymeren Einteilchensystemen mit Faltungskristallen einheitlicher Dicke kann thermodynamisch als Umwandlung 1. Ordnung in einer Richtung behandelt werden, wenn die Faltungslänge bis zur Umwandlungstemperatur konstant bleibt (Faltungslänge als innerer Zusatzparameter). Eine wesentliche begriffliche Erweiterung ist für eine phänomenologische Beschreibung mit den Mitteln der Thermodynamik unumgänglich, wenn eine Faltungskristallit-Dickenverteilung existiert, weil dann prinzipiell nur noch partielle Koexistenz bestimmter Fraktionen metastabiler autonomer Mikrophasen mit der Schmelze möglich ist. Partielles Aufschmelzen und Rektistallisation können so dann auch in Betracht genommen werden. Die entwickelten Konzeptionen bewähren sich in der Anwendung auf bekannte Experimente.

Über 1-Alkyl-bzw. 1-Aryl-dihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinthione

The title compounds7 are formed in a general reaction by heating β-isothiocyanoketones3 with primary amines in inert solvents, or by thermal elimination of water from tetrahydro-6-hydroxy-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones5, also in inert solvents. The 1-alkyl compounds can also be prepared under similar conditions from α,β-unsaturated ketones by reaction with alkylammonium rhodanides. The NMR-spectra show that the 1-substituted dihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones are in tautomeric equilibrium with the tetrahydro-6-methylene-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones13. The reactivity of 1-alkyl and 1-aryldihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones is similar to that of dihydro-4,4,6-trimethyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethione7 j, although their ring stability is certainly less.
