Cohomology of groups with metacyclic Sylow -subgroups

We determine the cohomology algebras for all groups with a metacyclic Sylow -subgroup. The complete -local stable decomposition of the classifying space is also determined.

     

The separation of tellurium and selenium by polyurethane foam sorbents

Tellurium and selenium can be sorbed from hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid solution by both polyether and polyester-based polyurethane foam. Although some acid is needed, the substitution of sodium chloride or sodium bromide increases the extraction significantly. Tellurium is extracted rapidly with > 99% sorbed in 2 min from 1.0/5.0M and 2.0/4.0M hydrochloric acid/sodium bromide. Selenium can also be sorbed quantitatively but much more slowly so that a separation is possible based on the relative rates of extraction. The capacity of polyether foam is 3% by weight of tellurium.     

The synthesis of “stretched-out” analogs of lumazine, 6,7-dimethyllumazine and 2-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-6,7-dimethyl-4-pteridinone

The synthesis of pyrazino[2,3-g]quinazolin-2,4-(1H,3H)dione ( 4 ) and its 7,8-dimethyl derivative ( 5 ), as linear benzo-separated lumazines, is reported. Also described is the preparation of 2-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-7,8-dimethylpyrazino[2,3-g]quinazolin-4-one ( 6 ), as a linear benzo-separated analog of a synthetic cofactor for phenylalanine hydroxylase. All of the syntheses began with ethyl 2,4,5-triaminobenzoate ( 8 ) and proceeded through the appropriate derivatives of ethyl 6-aminoquinoxaline-7-carboxylate ( 9, 10 , and 11 ) which were subsequently ring closed to 4, 5 , and 6 .
