Light particle coincidences with gross structure in energy spectra from the40Ca+40Ca collision

Proton and pion spectra from relativistic heavy ion collisions are calculated in the framework of a hydrochemical model. An explanation of the striking absence of the delta decay pion peak in the observed pion spectra is suggested.     

Etude en Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire du Carbone-13 de N-Aryl Pyrazolines-2 Diversement Substituées. Effets de Substituant et Etude Conformationnelle

The ¹³C chemical shifts of 1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline and 25 N-nitrophenyl-2-pyrazolines, with different substituents on the heterocyclic ring, have been assigned. These values are discussed as a function of the steric and electronic nature of the various substituents. The steric effects produced conformational modifications, both in the nitrophenyl and 2-pyrazoline moieties, which explain some of the chemical shifts.     

Proton Elastic Scattering of23,25F

Proton elastic scatterings of neutron-rich nuclei ²³F and ²⁵F have been measured for the first time at 289 and 298 MeV/nucleon, respectively, using the MUST2 silicon strip detector array and RIBF facility at RIKEN. The differential cross section of ²⁵F was found to be smaller than the calculation with the global potential by Koning and Deraloche. The small cross section of ²⁵F can be well reproduced by an optical model calculation with a shallow and long-tail potential.     

A complete ridge-line potential for complex fragment emission

Cross sections were measured for fragments (4<><27) from=" the=" 5.0,6.2,6.9,8.0,10.2=" and=" 12.7=">⁶³Cu+¹²C reactions. Excitation functions were constructed for each Z value, and a nearly complete set of mass-asymmetric barriers has been obtained for⁷⁵Br. There is excellent agreement between the experimentally determined barriers and the finite-range model calculations, while there is strong disagreement with the liquid-drop model calculations.This work was supported by the Director, Office of the Energy Research, Office of High Energy and Nuclear Physics, Division of Nuclear Physics, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC03SF00098.     

Morphology and surface heterogeneities in synthetic goethites

In the framework on a study of the acido-basic and sorption properties of iron oxides, a thorough characterization of two types of goethite powders was performed in several laboratories joined in a common project. Chemical analysis by ICPAES; high-resolution SEM, TEM, and AFM observations; XRD with line width analysis; and argon and nitrogen sorption isotherms were used for that purpose. The main crystallographic faces of goethite particles could be identified as {001}, {101}, and {121}, and their abundance correlated with the distribution of low-pressure argon adsorption local isotherms. These results will be very useful for further studies on the relationship between surface reactivity in aqueous solution and orientation of solid surfaces.     

Preparation d'olefines trisubstituees bifonctionnelles par voie photochimique

∝-methyl ∝-functionalized (CO₂CH₃, CN, CH₂OH and CH₂Cl) cyclopentanones $\text{2}$ when irradiated by UV light give title compounds : 5-substituted 4-hexen 1-al $\text{4}$ as a mixture of E and Z isomers. A comparison of the photochemical behaviour of this cyclopentanones and a simple and efficient chemical transformation of the isomers Z in the more demanded isomers $\text{4}$ E are described.     

Synthèse de composés cyclopentaniques chiraux,di, tri et tétrasubstitués. Application à la synthèse de dérivés Oxa-13-prostanoïques

The cyclopentenecarbaldehyde 1a , acetals 2a , 2b and the cyclopentenone 2c have been transformed through regio and stereocontrolled reactions into a variety of enantiomerically pure substituted cyclopentanes. Using appropriately selected Wittig reagents, aldehyde 1a furnished the condensation products 3 , 4 , 5 . Michael addition of diethyl malonate on the α,β-unsaturated aldehyde 1a under phasetransfer conditions led efficiently to 7 . Reduction of the cyclopentenone 2c gave 21 in high yield. The cyclopentenes 2a , 2b and 23 , submitted to hydroboration-oxidation furnished the cyclopentanols 10 , 13 and 24 , respectively, in 30, 70 and 50% yields, reflecting the substitution pattern of the starting alkenes. The salient feature of these reactions is the stereospecificity due to the chiral centre of the molecules 1a , 2a , 2b and 2c , leading to compounds with two, three and four asymmetric centres. The straightforward synthesis of 11α-hydroxy-13-oxaprostanoic acid 20 is described and an approach towards the preparation of 9α, 11α-dihydroxy-13-oxaprostanoic acid 34 is also presented. The structure of these products has been determined by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy.     

Structural requirements in chiral diphosphine-rhodium complexes—XI: Asymmetric homogeneous hydrogenation of z-α-acylaminocinnamic acids and esters with (1s, 2s)-trans-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl) cyclohexane/rhodium(i) complexes

Z-α-acylaminocinnamate esters were hydrogenated with neutral rhodium(I) complexes containing (1S, 2S)-trans-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclohexane. Increasing the steric bulk of the alcohol moiety of the ester function results in increased enantioface differentiation in favor of the re-si prochiral face to yield an excess of the S-amino acid derivatives. In the series of N-acetylphenylalanine ester products (resulting from hydrogenation of Z-α-acetamidocinnamate esters) the optical purity increased from 1% ee-(R) [Me]; 20% ee-(S) [Et]; 47% ee-(S) [i-Pr]; to 58% ee-(S) [t-Bu]. Increasing the steric bulk of the acyl function (NHCOR, where R is an alkyl moiety) favors the reduction of the si-re prochiral face [in the methyl ester substrates] to yield an excess of the R-amino acid derivatives. In the series of N-acylphenylalanine methyl ester products (resulting from hydrogenation of Z-methyl α-acylaminocinnamates) the optical purity increased from 1% ee-(R) [Me]; 13% ee-(R) [i-Pr]; to 15% ee-(R) [t-Bu and 1-adamantyl]. The α-formamido and α-benzamido substrates gave hydrogenation products having 22% ee-(R) [H] and 35% ee-(R) [Ph]. In the corresponding free acids, increasing the steric bulk of the acyl function (NHCOR, where R is an alkyl moiety) results in almost no change in the optical purity of the reduction products. In the series of N-acylphenyl-alanine products (resulting from hydrogenation of Z-α-acylaminocinnamic acids) the optical purity was 35% ee-(S) [Me]; 31% ee-(S) [i-Pr]; 33% ee-(S) [t-Bu]; and 35% ee-(S) [1-adamantyl]. The α-benzamido substrate gave a hydrogenation product having 8% ee-(S).
