Synthesis of 5-substituted furans on the basis of the reactions of 1,3-alkadiynes with Β-dicarbonyl compounds

The reaction of 1,3-hexadiyne, 1,3-heptadiyne, and 1,3-octadiyne with acetylacetone and acetoacetic ester in the presence of manganese(III) and copper(II) acetates proceeds with the participation of both triple bonds and leads to substituted 5-alkynyl- and 5-(5-furyl)furans: in the case of 5-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,3-hexadiyne the terminal triple bond participates selectively in the process as a result of the effective protection of the disubstituted triple bond by the dimethylhydroxymethyl group.Communication 148 in the series Reactions of unsaturated compounds; see [1] for Communication 147.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 738–742, June, 1989.     

Almost Everywhere Convergence of Greedy Algorithm with Respect to Vilenkin System

In this paper, we prove that for any ε ∈ (0, 1) there exists ameasurable set E ∈ [0, 1) with measure |E| > 1 ? ε such that for any function f ∈ L¹[0, 1), it is possible to construct a function \(\tilde f \in {L^1}[0,1]\) coinciding with f on E and satisfying \(\int_0^1 {|\tilde f(x) - f(x)|dx < \varepsilon } \), such that both the Fourier series and the greedy algorithm of \(\tilde f\) with respect to a bounded Vilenkin system are almost everywhere convergent on [0, 1).     

Nonlinear approximation of functions from the class L r with respect to the Vilenkin system

In this paper we prove that for any function f from the class L ^r on [0, 1) one can find a function g from the same class (which differs from f on a set of arbitrarily small measure) whose greedy algorithm with respect to the Vilenkin system converges to f.     

On the maximum size of a k-zero-free set in an abelian group

A subset A of elements in an abelian group G is called k-zero-free if the equation x ₁ + x ₂ + ... + x _k = 0 has no solution in A. A k-zero-free set A in G is called maximal if A ∪ {x} is k-zero-free for no x ∈ G\A. Some bounds for the maximum size of a k-zero free set are obtained. In particular, we determine the maximum speed of a k-zero-free arithmetic progression in the cyclic group Z _n and find the upper and lower bounds for the maximum size of a k-zero-free set in an abelian group G. We describe the structure of a maximal k-zero-free set A in the cyclic group Z _n provided that gcd(n, k) = 1 and k|A| ≥ n + 1.     

Model of micropolar thin shell oscillations

The paper gives the equations of a general applied two-dimensional theory for the dynamics of micropolar elastic thin shells with independent fields of motion and rotation that completely take into account all rotation-shift and related deformations. Problems on free and forced oscillations of micropolar elastic shells are studied on the basis of this general theory. Special features for the dynamic behavior of shells made of a micropolar elastic material are revealed on the basis of numerical analysis.

Synthesis and structure of 1-(buta-1,3-dien-2-yl)pyrazoles and their behavior in Diels-Alder reactions

A convenient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of cis-and trans-isomeric 1-(buta-1,3-dien-1-yl)-1H-pyrazoles by reaction of the corresponding pyrazoles with β-methylacrolein diethyl acetal and subsequent 1,4-cleavage of the nucleophilic substitution products. The behavior of the title compounds in Diels-Alder reactions with maleic anhydride has been studied. According to the ¹H NMR data, 1-(buta-1,3-dien-1-yl)-1H-pyrazole is a mixture of cis and trans isomers. Butadienylpyrazoles having methyl groups in the pyrazole ring do not react with maleic anhydride.     

Enolate Stabilization by Anion–π Interactions: Deuterium Exchange in Malonate Dilactones on π‐Acidic Surfaces

Of central importance in chemistry and biology, enolate chemistry is an attractive topic to elaborate on possible contributions of anion–π interactions to catalysis. To demonstrate the existence of such contributions, experimental evidence for the stabilization of not only anions but also anionic intermediates and transition states on π‐acidic aromatic surfaces is decisive. To tackle this challenge for enolate chemistry with maximal precision and minimal uncertainty, malonate dilactones are covalently positioned on the π‐acidic surface of naphthalenediimides (NDIs). Their presence is directly visible in the upfield shifts of the α‐protons in the ¹H NMR spectra. The reactivity of these protons on π‐acidic surfaces is measured by hydrogen–deuterium (H–D) exchange for 11 different examples, excluding controls. The velocity of H–D exchange increases with π acidity (NDI core substituents: SO₂R>SOR>H>OR>OR/NR₂>SR>NR₂). The H–D exchange kinetics vary with the structure of the enolate (malonates>methylmalonates, dilactones>dithiolactones). Moreover, they depend on the distance to the π surface (bridge length: 11–13 atoms). Most importantly, H–D exchange depends strongly on the chirality of the π surface (chiral sulfoxides as core substituents; the crystal structure of the enantiopure (R,R,P)‐macrocycle is reported). For maximal π acidity, transition‐state stabilizations up to ?18.8 kJ mol^?1 are obtained for H–D exchange. The Brønsted acidity of the enols increases strongly with π acidity of the aromatic surface, the lowest measured pK_a=10.9 calculates to a ΔpK_a=?5.5. Corresponding to the deprotonation of arginine residues in neutral water, considered as “impossible” in biology, the found enolate–π interactions are very important. The strong dependence of enolate stabilization on the unprecedented seven‐component π‐acidity gradient over almost 1 eV demonstrates quantitatively that such important anion–π activities can be expected only from strong enough π acids.
