Diastereoselective formation of 2-aryl-3-arenesulfonyl 4-ethyl-1,3-oxazolidines: An X-ray crystallographic and H NMR study

N-Arylsulfonamides of (R)- and (S)-2-amino-1-butanol, on condensation with aromatic aldehydes produced diastereomerically pure 2-aryl-3-arenesulfonyl 4-ethyl-1,3-oxazolidines. The absolute configurations of one enantiomeric pair have been determined from two fully refined X-ray structures, supplemented by nmr data.     

Precipitation and characterization of uniform submicrometer lead titanate particles. Part II: Reaction mechanism

The chemical mechanism of the precipitation of lead titanium peroxohydroxide particles in a solution of nitrilotriacetate (NTA) complexes of lead and titanium peroxo-hydroxide is envisioned as the interaction between cations of lead hydroxide and anions of polymeric titanium peroxo-hydroxide.     

Einfluß der Dilatation einer ebenen Phasengrenzfläche auf den Stoffdurchgang

The common methods for calculating the mass transfer across liquid-liquid interfaces in technical applications take into account the mass transfer resistances within the bulk phases. The transfer resistance of the interface and a possible coupling between the momentum and the mass transport is not taken into account. In the present paper a survey is given of theoretical approaches which can describe this coupling and the additional mass transfer resistance. A theory is proposed by Hampe which can be used to explain the coupling between momentum and mass transport employing thermodynamics of irreversible processes. On the basis of this work, the influence of the dilatation of a flat interface on the mass transfer is deduced. It is also concluded from this theory that the diffusion coefficients within the bulk phases are coupled near the thermodynamic equilibrium.     

The combination technique and some generalisations

The combination technique has repeatedly been shown to be an effective tool for the approximation with sparse grid spaces. Little is known about the reasons of this effectiveness and in some cases the combination technique can even break down. It is known, however, that the combination technique produces an exact result in the case of a projection into a sparse grid space if the involved partial projections commute.

The performance of the combination technique is analysed using a projection framework and the C/S decomposition. Error bounds are given in terms of angles between the spanning subspaces or the projections onto these subspaces. Based on this analysis modified combination coefficients are derived which are optimal in a certain sense and which can substantially extend the applicability and performance of the combination technique.
