Benzodiazepine Analogues. Part 15.1 Synthesis of Benzoxathiepine Derivatives

Stepwise cyclisation sequences have provided access to a series of novel 4-phenyl-3, 4-dihydro-1,5-benzoxathiepine-2-ones and 2-and 3-phenyl-4, 1-benzoxathiepine analogues.     

Solid-Phase Synthesis of 2-Aminotetrahydropyrimidines

2-Aminotetrahydropyrimidines were synthesised on solid-phase via a guanidinium intermediate and subsequent displacement of the tosylate by an imine.     

When does every definable nonempty set have a definable element?

The assertion that every definable set has a definable element is equivalent over $\mathsf{ZF}$ to the principle $\mathbf{V}=\mathbf{HOD}$, and indeed, we prove, so is the assertion merely that every Π₂‐definable set has an ordinal‐definable element. Meanwhile, every model of $\mathsf{ZFC}$ has a forcing extension satisfying $\mathbf{V}\ne \mathbf{HOD}$ in which every Σ₂‐definable set has an ordinal‐definable element. Similar results hold for $\mathbf{HOD}(\mathbb{R})$ and $\mathbf{HOD}({\mathrm{Ord}}^{\omega })$ and other natural instances of $\mathbf{HOD}(X)$.     

Differential evolution with enhanced diversity maintenance

Dabco-Catalysed Reactions of Salicylaldehydes with Acrylate Derivatives

Treatment of salicylaldehydes with acrylate derivatives in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) has been shown to afford both coumarin and chromene derivatives, and factors influencing the product distributions have been investigated.
