Silaboration of [1.1.1]Propellane: A Storable Feedstock for Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane Derivatives

The silaboration of [1.1.1]propellane enables direct introduction of B and Si functional groups onto the bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) scaffold in high yield under mild, additive‐free conditions. The silaborated BCP can be obtained on a gram‐scale in a single step without the need for column‐chromatographic purification, and is storable and easy to handle, providing a versatile synthetic intermediate for BCP derivatives. We also describe various conversions of the C?B/C?Si bonds on the BCP scaffold, including development of a modified Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction at the highly sterically hindered bridgehead sp³ carbon center of the BCP skeleton using a combination of highly activated BCP boronic esters, copper(I) oxide, and a PdCl₂(dppf) catalyst system.

Generalized Sobolev's phi function for the resolvent of a Milne-type integral equation with a degenerate kernel

It is well known in the field of radiative transfer that Sobolev was the first to introduce the resolvent into Milne's integral equation with a displacement kernel. Thereafter it was shown that the resolvent plays an important role in the theory of formation of spectral lines. In the theory of line-transfer problems, the kernel representation in Milne's integral equation has been used to provide an approximate solution in a manner similar to that given by the discrete ordinales method.In this paper, by means of invariant imbedding we show how to determine an exact solution of a Milne-type integral equation with a degenerate kernel, whose form is more general than the Pincherle-Gourast kernel. A Cauchy system for the resolvent is expressed in terms of generalized Sobolev's Φ- and Ψ-functions, which are computed by solving a system of differential equations for auxiliary functions. Furthermore, these functions are expressed in terms of components of the kernel representation.     

On the resolvent of Milne's integral equation for a spherical,isotropically-scattering medium

Recently, determination of the resolvent kernel of Milne's integral equation for a spherical, isotropically-scattering medium with internal sources has been made by several authors (cf. Heaslet and Warming;⁽¹⁾Nagirner;⁽²⁾Wilson and Sen⁽³⁾). In this paper, it is shown how to compute the resolvent kernel of the above Milne's equation in terms of the modified Sobolev's Φ-function, which is reduced to the angular integration of the source function in the diffuse radiation field by a finite slab. In other words, once the X- and Y-functions of a slab with twice the optical radius of the sphere have been computed and a Cauchy system for the source function has been solved, the resolvent kernel under consideration can be determined by integration of the modified Sobolev Φ-function.
