Convenient and Industrially Viable Process for Preparation of Zolmitriptan

The present invention provides a convenient and industrially viable process for preparation of zolmitriptan. The invention specifically relates to a method for obtaining (S)‐4‐(4‐hydrazinobenzyl)‐1,3‐oxazolidin‐2‐one hydrochloride of desired purity by separation and isolation in a particular pH range to give higher yield and purity.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Catalytic Behavior of Methoxy- and Dimethoxy-substituted Pyridinium-Type Ionic Liquids

Synthesis of methoxy-substituted pyridinium-type ionic liquids from a nontoxic and easy method is described. Catalytic behaviors of synthesized ionic liquids were investigated with various concentrations for the Mannich reaction. We have observed that methoxy- and dimethoxy-substituted pyridinium bromides showed better catalytic behavior than other ionic liquids.     

Algorithms for sampling a quantum microcanonical ensemble of harmonic oscillators at potential minima and conical intersections

Algorithms are presented for sampling quantum microcanonical ensembles for a potential energy minimum and for the conical intersection at the minimum energy crossing point of two coupled electronic states. These ensembles may be used to initialize trajectories for chemical dynamics simulations. The unimolecular dynamics of a microcanonical ensemble about a potential energy minimum may be compared with the dynamics predicted by quantum Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) theory. If the dynamics is non-RRKM, it will be of particular interest to determine which states have particularly long lifetimes. Initializing a microcanonical ensemble for the electronically excited state at a conical intersection is a model for electronic nonadiabatic dynamics. The trajectory surface-hopping approach may be used to study the ensuing chemical dynamics. A strength of the model is that zero-point energy conditions are included for the initial nonadiabatic dynamics at the conical intersection.     

Primer extension reactions as a tool to uncover folding motifs within complex G-rich sequences: analysis of the human KRAS NHE

We employed primer extension reactions to uncover folding motifs in a nuclease hypersensitive element (NHE) with a complex guanine pattern, located in the human KRAS promoter. We also identified and characterized a new G-rich motif of 21 nt capable of forming a parallel G-quadruplex that is disrupted by protein UP1.     

Ruthenium(II) hydrazone Schiff base complexes: synthesis, spectral study and catalytic applications

Ruthenium(II) hydrazone Schiff base complexes of the type [RuCl(CO)(B)(L)] (were B=PPh(3), AsPh(3) or Py; L=hydrazone Schiff base ligands) were synthesized from the reactions of hydrazone Schiff base ligand (obtained from isonicotinoylhydrazide and different hydroxy aldehydes) with [RuHCl(CO)(EPh(3))(2)(B)] (where E=P or As; B=PPh(3), AsPh(3) or Py) in 1:1 molar ratio. All the new complexes have been characterized by analytical and spectral (FT-IR, electronic, (1)H, (13)C and (31)P NMR) data. They have been tentatively assigned an octahedral structure. The synthesized complexes have exhibited catalytic activity for oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde and cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone in the presence of N-methyl morpholine N-oxide (NMO) as co-oxidant. They were also found to catalyze the transfer hydrogenation of aliphatic and aromatic ketones to alcohols in KOH/Isopropanol.     

Novel two step synthesis of bis/Mono 1-aryl-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylic acid

Some novel compounds of bis/mono 1-aryl-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylic acid are synthesized by the hydrolysis of two different synthesized esters, they are ethyl-1-aryl-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylate and ethyloxo(1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)acetate. The ethyl-1-aryl-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylate is resistant to get hydrolyzed, whereas the ethyloxo(1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl) acetate undergoes hydrolysis process and converts the ester to title compound. All the synthesized compounds are characterized by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, mass and elemental analysis.The ethyl-1-aryl-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylateis optimized by DFT B3LYP method and the HOMO and LUMO energy is 5.14?eV and also there is a formation of a weak bond between O₁₈ and C₈ as observed from the AIM analysis result.     

Measuring fluorescence to track a quantum emitter's state: a theory review

We review the continuous monitoring of a qubit through its spontaneous emission, at an introductory level. Contemporary experiments have been able to collect the fluorescence of an artificial atom in a cavity and transmission line, and then make measurements of that emission to obtain diffusive quantum trajectories in the qubit's state. We give a straightforward theoretical overview of such scenarios, using a framework based on Kraus operators derived from a Bayesian update concept; we apply this flexible framework across common types of measurements including photodetection, homodyne, and heterodyne monitoring and illustrate its equivalence to the stochastic master equation formalism throughout. Special emphasis is given to homodyne (phase-sensitive) monitoring of fluorescence. The examples we develop are used to illustrate basic methods in quantum trajectories, but also to introduce some more advanced topics of contemporary interest, including the arrow of time in quantum measurement, and trajectories following optimal measurement records derived from a variational principle. The derivations we perform lead directly from the development of a simple model to an understanding of recent experimental results.
