New method for the synthesis of 6-amino-4-aryl-3,5-dicyano-3,4-dihydropyridine-2(1H)-thiones by recyclization of 4-aryl-2,6-diamino-4H-thiopyranes

Ammonium 6-amino-4-aryl-3,5-dicyano-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates were synthesized by recyclization of 4-aryl-2,6-diamino-3,5-dicyano-4H-thiopyranes in the presence of organic bases. On acidification of the products, the corresponding substituted 3,4-dihydropyridine-2(1H)-thiones were obtained which were used in the synthesis of 2-alkylthio-1,4-dihydropyridines, bis-(pyridyl-2)disulfides and thieno[2,3-b]pyridines.Deceased.T.

Second Quantization of the Stueckelberg Relativistic Quantum Theory and Associated Gauge Fields

The gauge compensation fields induced by the differential operators of the Stueckelberg-Schrödinger equation are discussed, as well as the relation between these fields and the standard Maxwell fields; An action is constructed and the second quantization of the fields carried out using a constraint procedure. The properties of the second quantized matter fields are discussed.     

Reaction of 3,5-diamino-4-nitropyrazole with electrophilic reagents

The interaction of 3,5-diamino-4-nitropyrazole with such electrophilic reagents as acetic anhydride, dimethylformamide acetal, orthoformic ester, and ketones has been studied. Derivatives of pyrazolol[1,5-a]pyrimidines were formed on reaction with 1,3-diketones and some of their properties have been studied.Center for Drug Chemistry, All-Russian Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research Institute (VNIKhFI), Moscow 119815.

An application of radon inversion to diffraction tomography

Basic equations of linear computer tomography are considered; a connection of the mathermatical formulation of problems of computer tomography with problems of integral geometry is indicated; the properties of the Radon transform for even- and odd-dimensional spaces are analyzed, and applications of Radon inversion to problems of diffraction tomography are presented.
