Preparation of chiral pyrrole derivatives by the Paal-Knorr reaction

A new approach has been developed for the synthesis of N-alkylpyrroles with a chiral substituent at the nitrogen atom by the Paal-Knorr reaction using esters of amino acids as the source of chirality.     

Quasi-isentropic compressibility of deuterium and helium at pressures of 1500–5000 GPa

The quasi-isentropic compressibilities of deuterium and helium plasmas are measured in the pressure range 1500–5000 GPa at densities up to 8 g/cm³ using spherical experimental devices and an X-ray complex consisting of three betatrons and a multichannel optoelectronic system for taking X-ray images. The experimental results demonstrate the possibilities of high-energy-density experimental physics to reproduce the extreme states of substance typical of the Universe under laboratory conditions using the energy of traditional condensed explosives.     

A method for calculating self-resonant magnetoacoustic heating

The authors introduce a method for studying magnetoacoustic heating by the imposition of a constant external magnetic field on an inductively heated device. They obtain asymptotic expressions for the potential and shift vectors. An algorithm is given for determining the optimal control of the heating process.Translated from Matematicheskie Metody i Fiziko-Mekhanicheskie, Polya, No. 29, pp. 41–44, 1989.
