A simple and efficient method for the allylation of heteroarenes catalyzed by PdCl2

The PdCl₂-catalyzed allylation of heteroarenes is presented. Various heteroarenes including O-, N-, and S-based ones were allylated efficiently with a rich range of allylic acetates in the presence of only 2 mol % of PdCl₂, without the need of bases/acids, additives, and external supporting ligands. In addition, the reactions were carried out under mild and simple conditions just by stirring the two reactants and catalyst in CH₂Cl₂ at 60 °C. Moreover, the by-product produced was non-toxic acetic acid. Thus, the method presented in this work provides a general, clean, and operationally simple approach for the functionalization of heteroarenes. Finally, a preliminary mechanistic study suggested that the Pd(II) may be reduced in situ by the heteroarenes to Pd(0), which serves as the active metal center to catalyze the following allylations of heteroarenes via a Tsuji–Trost pathway.     

Adaptive generalized functional synchronization of chaotic systems with unknown parameters

A universal adaptive generalized functional synchronization approach to any two different or identical chaotic systems with unknown parameters is proposed, based on a unified mathematical expression of a large class of chaotic system. Self-adaptive parameter law and control law are given in the form of a theorem. The synchronization between the three-dimensional R6ssler chaotic system and the four-dimensional Chen＇s hyper-chaotic system is studied as an example for illustration. The computer simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the method proposed.

List star edge coloring of k-degenerate graphs

A star edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that every connected 2-colored subgraph is a path with at most 3 edges. Deng et al. and Bezegová et al. independently show that the star chromatic index of a tree with maximum degree $\Delta$ is at most $?\frac{3\Delta }{2}?$, which is tight. In this paper, we study the list star edge coloring of $k$-degenerate graphs. Let $c{h}_{st}^{\prime }\left(G\right)$ be the list star chromatic index of $G$: the minimum $s$ such that for every $s$-list assignment $L$ for the edges, $G$ has a star edge coloring from $L$. By introducing a stronger coloring, we show with a very concise proof that the upper bound on the star chromatic index of trees also holds for list star chromatic index of trees, i.e. $c{h}_{st}^{\prime }\left(T\right)\le ?\frac{3\Delta }{2}?$ for any tree $T$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. And then by applying some orientation technique we present two upper bounds for list star chromatic index of $k$-degenerate graphs.     

The 1:1 resonance in Hamiltonian systems

Two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems with an elliptic equilibrium at the origin are characterised by the frequencies of the linearisation. Considering the frequencies as parameters, the system undergoes a bifurcation when the frequencies pass through a resonance. These bifurcations are well understood for most resonances $k:l$, but not the semisimple cases $1:1$ and $1:?1$. A two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system can be approximated to any order by an integrable normal form. The reason is that the normal form of a Hamiltonian system has an additional integral due to the normal form symmetry. The latter is intimately related to the ratio of the frequencies. For a rational frequency ratio this leads to $S^1$-symmetric systems. The question we wish to address is about the co-dimension of such a system in $1:1$ resonance with respect to left-right-equivalence, where the right action is $S^1$-equivariant. The result is a co-dimension five unfolding of the central singularity. Two of the unfolding parameters are moduli and the remaining non-modal parameters are the ones found in the linear unfolding of this system.
