Azonia polycyclic quinones,o-diazo-oxides and related products

4α-Azoniaanthracene-5,6- and 5,8-dione salts have been prepared by nitric acid oxidation of their respective diols, and are shown to function as either an electrophilic dienophile or a diene component in Diels-Alder-type reactions. Several azonia o-quinones have been treated with tosylhydrazine in methanol saturated with hydrogen chloride to give unusually stable o-diazo-oxides. A four-step dehydroxylation procedure is detailed for the conversion of .5,6-dihydroxy-4α-azonia-anthracene salts to new 5-hydroxy-4α-azoniaanthracene salts.     

Absolute branching fraction measurements of exclusive D+ semileptonic decays

Using data collected at the psi(3770) resonance with the CLEO-c detector at the Cornell e+e- storage ring, we present improved measurements of the absolute branching fractions of D+decays to K0e+ve, pi0e+ve, K*0e+ve, and p0e+ve, and the first observation and absolute branching fraction measurement of D+ --> omega e+ve. We also report the most precise tests to date of isospin invariance in semileptonic D0 and D+ decays.     

Decay pathways and entry-state population in (α, xnγ) and (3He, xnγ) reactions on 150Nd

Exclusive neutron spectra and angular distributions have been measured by n-γ coincidence techniques for $\text{(α, x}\text{n}\text{γ)}\text{and}\text{(}{}^3\text{He}\text{, x}\text{n}\text{γ)}$ reactions on ¹⁵⁰Nd in the 25–44 MeV range. The results show that pre-equilibrium processes dominate low-energy light-ion induced reactions at certain beam energies. Analysis of the yrast γ-ray cascades in the residual nuclei shows that a well-defined minimum entry-state spin exists in final nuclei populated by pre-equilibrium processes. This in turn implies the existence of a minimum classical impact parameter for these reactions. These results are discussed in terms of phenomenological models of the reaction mechanisms.     

One-pot tandem decarboxylative allylation-Heck cyclization of allyl diphenylglycinate imines: rapid access to polyfunctionalized 1-aminoindanes

1-Aminoindanes are generated from allyl diphenylglycinate imines employing a "one-pot" palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation-Heck cyclization cascade. Variation of both the aryl and allyl moieties leads to a diverse range of polycyclic imines, amenable to the synthesis of natural products and other biologically relevant small molecules.     

Measurement of the eta-meson mass using psi(2S) --> etaJ/psi

We measure the mass of the eta meson using psi(2S) --> etaJ/psi events acquired with the CLEO-c detector operating at the CESR e(+)e(-) collider. Using the four decay modes eta --> gamma gamma, 3pi(0), pi(+)pi(-)pi(0), and pi(+)pi(-)gamma, we find M(eta) = 547.785 +/- 0.017 +/- 0.057 MeV, in which the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This result has an uncertainty comparable to the two most precise previous measurements and is consistent with that of NA48, but is inconsistent at the level of 6.5 sigma with the much smaller mass obtained by GEM.     

Bromoporphyrins as versatile synthons for modular construction of chiral porphyrins: cobalt-catalyzed highly enantioselective and diastereoselective cyclopropanation

5,10-Bis(2',6'-dibromophenyl)porphyrins bearing various substituents at the 10 and 20 positions were demonstrated to be versatile synthons for modular construction of chiral porphyrins via palladium-catalyzed amidation reactions with chiral amides. The quadruple carbon-nitrogen bond formation reactions were accomplished in high yields with different chiral amide building blocks under mild conditions, forming a family of D2-symmetric chiral porphyrins. Cobalt(II) complexes of these chiral porphyrins were prepared in high yields and shown to be active catalysts for highly enantioselective and diastereoselective cyclopropanation under a practical one-pot protocol (alkenes as limiting reagents and no slow addition of diazo reagents).     

Synthesis of s-triazines bearing three different substituents

Reaction of N′-acyl-N,N-dimethylamidines with hydrogen sulfide in acetic acid gave N-thioacylbenzarmides in almost quantitative yields. S-Ethylation of the N-thioacylbenzamides with iodoethane gave N-aroylthio-imidates in excellent yields. Reaction of the N-aroylthioimidates with acetamidine, benzamidine, or guanidine in ethanol gave s-triazines in 60–93% yield.     

Monitoring radioactive compounds in high-performance liquid chromatographic eluates: fraction collection versus on-line detection

This study compared two methods of monitoring radioisotopes in high-performance liquid chromatographic eluates (on-line radioactivity detector versus fraction collection and counting). Testing was accomplished by pumping solutions of tritiated water in acetonitrile--water mixture through the detector or to the fraction collector. At most solvent compositions, the detector's counting efficiency and detection limits were poorer than those of the scintillation counter. However, the reproducibility of the detector data was superior at acetonitrile concentrations of less than 50%. This was attributed to the difficulty in collecting fractions of small equal volumes at the lower organic solvent concentrations in short time intervals. We conclude that on-line monitoring with homogeneous detection is the preferred method for detecting radiolabeled compounds in high-performance liquid chromatographic eluates.
