Synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines from difluoroboron chelates of aroylacetones

A convenient method was developed for the synthesis of derivatives of 6H-pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine-7-thione and 7-aminopyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine from difluoroboron chelate complexes of aroylacetones, amide acetals, and thiosemicarbazide or aminoguanidine.

Synthesis and Structure of Some 2-Trifluoromethyl-substituted Hetarylmethylidene(or propylidene)anilines

The reaction of furan, thiophene, pyridine, and also furylacryloyl aldehydes with 2-trifluoromethylanilines has been studied in the presence of molecular sieves and a series of new heterocyclic aldimines has been synthesized. The molecular and crystalline structure of some of them were determined by X-ray structural analysis.     

Molecular Structure of Selenophenes and Tellurophenes. (Review)

The results of X-ray diffraction investigations of compounds containing selenophene and tellurophene fragments are reviewed and analyzed. The structural features of unsubstituted selenophene and tellurophene and their mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted derivatives and also the structure of the complexes of selenophenes and tellurophenes with transition metals are discussed.     

Phase Behavior of Methane-Pentane Mixture in Bulk and in Porous Media

The adiabatic calorimetry method is used to measure the isochoric heat capacity and the dew-bubble curves for the methane-normal pentane mixtures in bulk for three different mixture compositions of n-pentane. The near-critical behavior of the mixture heat capacity indicates that at low n-pentane concentrations, this system is close to the special point of the critical locus. The effect of porous medium has been investigated for one of the mixtures studied in bulk. It has been shown that in porous medium the essential shift of the dew-bubble curve takes place. In our opinion this shift is caused by the formation of wetting film on the surface of porous medium. The estimation of film thickness resulting from the data obtained yields the value 7–8 nm.     

Mechanism of formation of 3-methyl derivatives of imidazo[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]thiazoles and their benzo analogs in the reactions of 2-mercaptoimidazole and 2-mercaptobenzimidazole with 1,3-dichloroacetone under phase-transfer catalysis conditions

The mechanism of the unexpected formation of 3-methyl derivatives of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles in the system 2-mercaptoimidazole–1,3-dichloroacetone–solid K₂CO₃–solid KI–18-crown-6–toluene has been studied. The structure of 3-methyl[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazole has been confirmed using X-ray structural analysis.

Forward coherent inelastic Mössbauer scattering of synchrotron radiation

A theoretical analysis is presented of the possibilities of satisfying the conditions of phase matching (PM) in the coherent inelastic Mössbauer scattering (CIMS, which is scattering accompanied by the creation or annihilation of phonons) of synchrotron radiation (SR) and the conditions under which the maximum intensity of CIMS obtains are studied. Of the two types of CIMS — 1) participation of phonons in a scattering event only in the stage of absorption or only during re-emission of a photon, and 2) participation of phonons in both stages of scattering — PM is possible only in the first. The process in which phonons participate only at the photon absorption stage leads to efficient conversion of the SR from a wide spectral line into a narrow line, determined by the width of the Mössbauer transition. Photons of this type of CIMS effectively possess a higher penetrating power than the standard Mössbauer radiation, and their spectral distribution is shifted somewhat in the direction of low frequencies.
