Centrality dependence of charged particle multiplicity in Au-Au collisions at square root of (s)NN = 130 GeV

We present results for the charged-particle multiplicity distribution at midrapidity in Au-Au collisions at square root of [s(NN)] = 130 GeV measured with the PHENIX detector at RHIC. For the 5% most central collisions we find dN(ch)/d eta(vertical line eta = 0) = 622+/-1(stat)+/-41(syst). The results, analyzed as a function of centrality, show a steady rise of the particle density per participating nucleon with centrality.     

Isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones and 1,6-naphthyridin-5(6H)-ones by an N-acylation-SNAr sequence

A new synthesis of 2,3-dialkyl-4-carbomethoxyisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones and 6,7-dialkyl-8-carbomethoxy-1,6-naphthyridin-5(6H)-ones is reported. The process involves treatment of a β-enaminoester with 2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoyl chloride, 2-fluorobenzoyl chloride or 2-chloronicotinoyl chloride followed by heating in the presence of base. The conversion, which proceeds by an N-acylation-S_NAr reaction sequence, affords 50–86% yields when R¹ is n-alkyl but ≤30% yields when R¹ is α-branched.     

Quantum logics and convex geometry

The main result is a representation theorem which shows that, for a large class of quantum logics, a quantum logic,Q, is isomorphic to the lattice of projective faces in a suitable convex setK. As an application we extend our earlier results [4], which, subject to countability conditions, gave a geometric characterization of those quantum logics which are isomorphic to the projection lattice of a von Neumann algebra or aJ B W-algebra.     

Λ0 hyperon polarization in inclusive production by 24 GeV protons on platinum

We report a search for Λ⁰ polarization in inclusive production by 24 GeV protons on platinum made on data taken at CERN. These data show Λ⁰ polarization of the same direction and magnitude and with the same p_T dependence as found at 300 GeV at Fermilab.     

N‐phenyl‐substituted pyrrolidines,piperidines and azabicyclics by a tandem reduction‐double reductive amination reaction

N‐Phenyl‐substituted pyrrolidines and piperidines have been synthesized by catalytic reduction of nitrobenzene in the presence of 4‐ and 5‐oxoaldehydes, respectively. The process involves reduction of the aromatic nitro group to give the N‐phenylhydroxylamine or aniline followed by reductive amination with the two carbonyl functional groups. Monocyclic systems are generally formed in high yield and are easily purified. The method has also been extended to the synthesis of fused N‐phenylazabicyclics from 2‐(3‐oxo‐propyl)cycloalkanones. A high degree of diastereoselectivity for the trans‐fused product is observed in substrates having an ester group α to the cycloalkanone carbonyl. Bicyclic precursors lacking this ester group give mixtures of cis and trans products. Finally, contrary to previous reports, we have demonstrated that aniline can be substituted for nitrobenzene in these reactions.     

The hydroxide complex of Pseudomonas aeruginosa heme oxygenase as a model of the low-spin iron(III) hydroperoxide intermediate in heme catabolism: 13C NMR spectroscopic studies suggest the active participation of the heme in macrocycle hydroxylation

13C NMR spectroscopic studies have been conducted with the hydroxide complex of Pseudomonas aeruginosa heme oxygenase (Fe(III)-OH), where OH(-) has been used as a model of the OOH(-) ligand to gain insights regarding the elusive ferric hydroperoxide (Fe(III)-OOH) intermediate in heme catabolism at ambient temperatures. Analysis of the heme core carbon resonances revealed that the coordination of hydroxide in the distal site of the enzyme results in the formation of at least three populations of Fe(III)-OH complexes with distinct electronic configurations and nonplanar ring distortions that are in slow exchange relative to the NMR time scale. The most abundant population exhibits a spin crossover between S = (1)/(2) and S = (3)/(2) spin states, and the two less abundant populations exhibit pure, S = (3)/(2) and S = (1)/(2), (d(xy)())(1) electronic configurations. We propose that the highly organized network of water molecules in the distal pocket of heme oxygenase, by virtue of donating a hydrogen bond to the coordinated hydroxide ligand, lowers its ligand field strength, thereby increasing the field strength of the porphyrin (equatorial) ligand, which results in nonplanar deformations of the macrocycle. This tendency to deform from planarity, which is imparted by the ligand field strength of the coordinated OH(-), is likely reinforced by the flexibility of the distal pocket in HO. These findings suggest that if the ligand field strength of the coordinated OOH(-) in heme oxygenase is modulated in a similar manner, the resultant large spin density at the meso carbons and nonplanar deformations of the pophyrin ring prime the macrocycle to actively participate in its own hydroxylation.     

Amberlyst-15 Catalyzed Addition of Phenols to α,β-Unsaturated Ketones

Amberlyst-15 has been used to catalyze regioselective additions of phenols to α,β-unsaturated ketones in yields of 20–90%. The reaction is superior to the analogous reaction employing concentrated sulfuric acid in affording greater yields and purer products with a minimum of laboratory operations.
