Regioselective synthesis of the 3,4-dihydrofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidin-2(1H)-one skeleton: a new class of compound

We hereby report the first preparation of the 3,4-dihydrofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidin-2(1H)-one skeleton formed by two controlled Curtius rearrangements of the corresponding acyl azides, prepared from 2-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)furan-3-carboxylate via the hydrazide. Rearrangement of the acyl azides followed by trapping by nucleophiles and intramolecular trapping provided the target compounds.     

Approximate analytical solutions of the effective mass Dirac equation for the generalized Hulthén potential with any <Emphasis Type="Italic">κ</Emphasis>-value

The Dirac equation, with position-dependent mass, is solved approximately for the generalized Hulthén potential with any spin-orbit quantum number κ. Solutions are obtained by using an appropriate coordinate transformation, reducing the effective mass Dirac equation to a Schrödinger-like differential equation. The Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used in the calculations to obtain energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions. Numerical results are compared with those given in the literature. Analytical results are also obtained for the case of constant mass and the results are in good agreement with the literature.     

Boundary effects in local inflation and spectrum of density perturbations

We observe that when a local patch in a radiation filled Robertson–Walker universe inflates by some reason, outside perturbations can enter into the inflating region. Generally, the physical wavelengths of these perturbations become larger than the Hubble radius as they cross into the inflating space and their amplitudes freeze out immediately. It turns out that the corresponding power spectrum is not scale invariant. Although these perturbations cannot reach out to a distance inner observer shielded by a de Sitter horizon, they still indicate a curious boundary effect in local inflationary scenarios.     

4-(2-Methylphenyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinazoline-2,5-dione (I) and 4-(4chlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinazoline-2,5-dione (II)

The crystal and molecular structures of the title compounds have been determined by x-ray structure analysis. The compounds (I) and (II) crystallize in space groups P2₁2₁2₁ and 12/a respectively. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined to R = 0.058 and R = 0.046. The saturated pyrimidine-2-one ring in both structures deviates from the planarity. There are two intermolecular hydrogen bonds in (I) and (II). The configuration at C4 in (I) is S.     

Synthesis and spectral properties of new hetarylazo indole dyes

A series of new hetarylazo indole dyes were synthesized by azo coupling of 2-phenyl-, 2-methyl-, and 1-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-indole with diazonium salts derived from 5-methylsulfanyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine, 1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine, 5-methylisoxazol-3-amine, and 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol. The dyes were characterized by the IR spectra, electronic absorption spectra in the UV and visible regions, and ¹H NMR and mass spectra. The effects of solvent nature, acidity of the medium, temperature, and concentration on the electronic absorption spectra in the visible region and the dependence of the color of the dyes on the nature of heterocyclic fragment were examined.

Molecular weight effect on latex film formation induced by solvent vapor: an optical transmission study

Vesicular electrokinetic chromatography was used to investigate solute partitioning from the aqueous phase into dihexadecyl hydrogen phosphate (DHP) vesicles. Retention factors of neutral solutes are related to their partition coefficients between the aqueous phase and vesicles (K(vw)). The K(vw) of the aromatic test solutes were readily obtained from the slopes of the linear relationships between retention factors versus DHP concentrations. The technique offers the advantages of speed, automation, and small sample size for determination of partition coefficients. The K(vw) values of 43 uncharged solutes were measured at below as well as above the phase transition temperatures. The logarithms of partition coefficients (log K(vw)) of solutes at 71 degrees C (above T(c)) were slightly higher than those at 36 degrees C (below T(c)). The solvation characteristics of DHP were also studied using linear solvation energy relationships at the two temperatures.     

Synthesis, characterization and spectroscopic properties of some new phenylazo-6-aminouracil

In this study, a series of new 5-phenylazo-6-aminouracil dyes were prepared by linking m-,p-nitroaniline, m-,p-chloroaniline, m-,p-anisidine, m-,p-toluidine, m-,p-cyanoaniline, p-ethoxyaniline, p-phenoxyaniline, p-ethylaniline, p-acetamidoaniline, p-acetylaniline, p-carboxyaniline and aniline to 6-aminouracil. The prepared dyes were characterized by UV-vis, FT-IR, ¹H NMR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. The effect of acid and base upon the UV-vis spectra of these dyes were investigated. In addition, the solvatochromic behaviors and substituent effects in various solvents were evaluated.      

Synthesis, spectral and thermal properties, and crystal structure of catena-poly-μ-ethylenediamine(dipicolinato)zinc(II) trihydrate, {[Zn(dipic)(μ-en)]·3H2O}n

A novel metal–organic coordination polymer framework formulated as {[Zn(dipic)(μ-en)]·3H₂O} _n (1) (catena-poly-μ-ethylenediamine(dipicolinato)zinc(II) trihydrate) has been synthesized and characterized by spectral method (IR), elemental analysis, thermal analysis (TG, DTG, DTA) and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P−1. The asymmetric unit contains three hydrogen-bonded water molecules and the Zn atom is five-coordinated by three N and two O atoms. In fact, it is a new one-dimensional zinc complex with the peculiarity of having the ethylenediamine ligand very unusually acting as bridge to form polymeric chains. In the crystal structure, intramolecular O–H···O and intermolecular O–H···O and N–H···O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of a supramolecular structure, in which they seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
