High resolution high field rodent cardiac imaging with flow enhancement suppression

A method that incorporates cardiorespiratory-gated 2DFT spin-echo imaging with blood flow enhancement suppression is described which enables high resolution microimaging of the rodent heart. This methodology was applied to obtain in vivo cardiac mouse and rat images with in-plane resolutions of 100–200 μm using high field vertical bore magnet systems. Suppression of intraventricular blood flow enhancement was achieved using a combined spin-echo/gradient-refocussed sequence to dephase magnetization from flowing spins prior to imaging.     

Wave reflection and transmission in beams containing delamination and inhomogeneity

This paper presents an analytical approach using higher order plate theories to determine wave reflections from and transmissions through a damaged region in a beam. The damaged region is either treated as two split beams or as an inhomogeneity. The reflection ratios and transmission ratios are found to depend strongly on the frequency of the incident flexural waves, as well as the size of the damage, which gives rise to strong stop/pass band behaviour. Using the spectral analysis method, the transient wave propagation in a beam with a part-through delamination is predicted and compared with experimental results, indicating a good agreement in the phases and amplitudes of both the reflected and transmitted waves.     

Several convenient methods for the synthesis of 2-amido substituted furans

Several new methods for the synthesis of differently substituted 2-amidofurans are described. The thermolysis of furan-2-carbonyl azide results in a Curtius rearrangement and the resulting furanyl isocyanate was trapped with various organometallic reagents. A second method consists of a C-N cross-coupling reaction of a bromo-substituted furan with various amides, carbamates, and lactams. The CuI-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between furanyl bromides and amides furnished 2- and 3-substituted amidofurans in 45-95% yield. The third protocol used involves the reaction of cyclic carbinol amides with triflic anhydride. The reaction proceeds under very mild conditions to provide alpha-(trifluoromethyl)sulfonamido-substituted furans in high yield. The resulting iminium ion derived from the reaction of the hydroxy pyrrolidinone with Tf(2)O undergoes a facile ring opening as a consequence of the adjacent hydroxyl group to produce an imino triflate intermediate. Subsequent cyclization of this highly electrophilic imine with the oxygen atom of the adjacent carbonyl group leads to an imino dihydrofuran that reacts further with another equivalent of Tf(2)O to give the observed product.     

Adiabatic and nonadiabatic dynamics in the CH3(CD3)+HCl reaction

The scattering dynamics leading to the formation of Cl (2P(3/2)) and Cl* (2P(1/2)) products of the CH(3)+HCl reaction (at a mean collision energy =22.3 kcal mol(-1)) and the Cl (2P(3/2)) products of the CD(3)+HCl reaction (at =19.4 kcal mol(-1)) have been investigated by using photodissociation of CH(3)I and CD(3)I as sources of translationally hot methyl radicals and velocity map imaging of the Cl atom products. Image analysis with a Legendre moment fitting procedure demonstrates that, in all three reactions, the Cl/Cl* products are mostly forward scattered with respect to the HCl in the center-of-mass (c.m.) frame but with a backward scattered component. The distributions of the fraction of the available energy released as translation peak at f(t)=0.31-0.33 for all the reactions, with average values that lie in the range =0.42-0.47. The detailed analysis indicates the importance of collision energy in facilitating the nonadiabatic transitions that lead to Cl* production. The similarities between the c.m.-frame scattering and kinetic energy release distributions for Cl and Cl* channels suggest that the nonadiabatic transitions to a low-lying excited potential energy surface (PES) correlating to Cl* products occur after passage through the transition state region on the ground-state PES. Branching fractions for Cl* are determined to be 0.14+/-0.02 for the CH(3)+HCl reaction and 0.20+/-0.03 for the CD(3)+HCl reaction. The difference cannot be accounted for by changes in collision energy, mass effects, or vibrational excitation of the photolytically generated methyl radical reagents and instead suggests that the low-frequency bending modes of the CD(3)H or CH(4) coproduct are important mediators of the nonadiabatic couplings occurring in this reaction system.     

Thermal effects of contamination,adsorbed water and annealing on the DTA of powdered quartz

During the grinding of quartz, water is adsorbed from the atmosphere, but this water gave no detectable thermal effect on DTA because it was evolved uniformly up to 1000°. However, in conjunction with an iron contaminant, the adsorbed water was involved in an oxidation reaction causing noticeable thermal effects for quartz powdered in a vibration mill constructed of steel parts. When powdered so finely that the - inversion peak at 573° had disappeared, annealing caused a partial redevelopment of the peak but recrystallization of disrupted quartz was too small an effect to give any detectable exothermic peak on DTA.

Zusammenfassung Während des Vermahlens von Quartz wird Wasser aus der Atmosphäre adsorbiert, jedoch ergab dieses Wasser keinen nachweisbaren thermischen Effekt in der DTA, da es bis zu 1000° gleichmässig freigesetzt wird. Im Zusammenhang mit einer Eisen-Verunreinigung wurde jedoch das adsorbierte Wasser in eine Oxidationsreaktion einbezogen, welche beim in einer aus Stahlteilen gefertigten Vibrationsmühle zerpulvertem Quartz nachweisbare thermische Effekte verursachten. Wenn so fein pulverisiert wurde, daß der --Inversions-Peak bei 573° verschwunden war, verursachte eine Wärmebehandlung eine teilweise Wiederentwicklung des Peaks, jedoch war die Rekristallisation des zerstörten Quartzes zu geringfügig um einen nachweisbaren exothermen Peak in der DTA-Kurve zu ergeben.

Résumé Lors du broyage du quartz, il se produit une adsorption de l'eau atmosphérique mais cette eau ne donne pas d'effet thermique décelable par ATD car elle se dégage régulièrement jusqu'à 1000°. Cependant, en présence de fer comme contaminant, l'eau adsorbée intervient dans une réaction d'oxydation qui donne des effets thermiques perceptibles dans le cas de quartz pulvérisé dans un vibrobroyeur en acier. Si le quartz est en poudre assez fine pour que le pic d'inversion - à 573° disparaisse, le recuit provoque la réapparition partielle du pic. La recristallisation du quartz est cependant trop faible pour donner un effet exothermique décelable par ATD.

Electronic and steric effects in thermal denitrosation of N-nitrosoamides

N-Alkyl-N-nitrosoamides undergo competitive reactions whose rates are dependent upon the interplay of a number of factors. There already exists a significant body of work delineating the effects of pH on the partitioning of the nitrosoamides along their deaminative (-N(2)) and denitrosative (-"NO(+)") pathways. In this paper, the issue of pH dependence is discussed with particular attention to nitrosoamide decompositions in nonaqueous media. The role of the acidity of the medium in the partitioning of the nitrosoamide between deamination and denitrosation and in the choice of deaminative pathways is revisited. In nonaqueous media under near-neutral conditions, the partitioning's pH dependence is evidently accompanied by a sensitivity to structural features in the nitrosoamide. Thus, diminution of steric crowding around the N-nitroso moiety as well as the presence of strongly electron-withdrawing acyl units (i.e., those derived from strong acids, e.g., tosyl and trifyl) increase the relative yield of amides by encouraging the denitrosative pathway. A mechanism for thermal denitrosation of nitrosoamides under near-neutral conditions is proposed in which rapid protonation at the acyl O rather than slow protonation at the amidic N is the first step in the reaction profile. A rate-limiting, bimolecular reaction between the O-conjugate acid and adventitious nucleophiles at the nitrosyl group then occurs followed by rapid tautomerization to amide.     

Discrete and dipole-mode gap solitons in higher-order nonlinear photonic lattices

We investigate the formation of fundamental discrete solitons and dipole-mode gap solitons in triangular photonic lattices imprinted in photorefractive nonlinear media. These lattices are strongly affected by the photorefractive anisotropy, resulting in orientation-dependent refractive index structures with reduced symmetry. It is demonstrated that two different orientations of the lattice wave enable the formation of fundamental discrete solitons in the total internal reflection gap. Furthermore, it is shown that one lattice orientation additionally supports dipole-mode solitons in the Bragg reflection gap. The experimental results are corroborated by numerical simulations using the full anisotropic model. PACS 42.65.Tg; 42.65.Wi; 42.70.Qs     

Planar chiral (η5-cyclohexadienyl)- and (η6-arene)-tricarbonylmanganese complexes: synthetic routes and application

Planar chiral arenetricarbonylchromium complexes have been intensively investigated and they have been applied as valuable building blocks for asymmetric synthesis and as ligands for asymmetric catalysis. In contrast, in the field of the isoelectronic cationic [(η(6)-arene)Mn(CO)(3)](+) complexes, until these last 10 years, very few studies were published involving nonracemic planar chiral cationic complexes and their potential applications, certainly because of the difficult access to enantiopure starting material. In 2009, however, the discovery of the first resolution of such compounds opened a new area for their application in the field of organic as well as of organometallic enantioselective syntheses. We felt it important to write a review on this subject to give an up-to-date summary of the methodologies used to prepare enantiomerically pure planar chiral neutral [(η(5)-cyclohexadienyl)Mn(CO)(3)] and cationic [(η(6)-arene)Mn(CO)(3)](+) complexes as well as their potential in enantioselective synthesis.     

Enzymatic desymmetrization of a meso polyol corresponding to the C(19)-C(27) segment of rifamycin S

The stereoselective acylation of meso polyol 2 by vinyl acetate (solvent and acyl donor) in the presence of porcine pancreas lipase gave the corresponding monoester 5 in good yield (76%) and high enantiomeric purity (ee > 98%). The enzymatic reaction was also highly regioselective for a primary alcohol end group, and the two unprotected secondary alcohols were not involved. Compound 5 corresponds to the C(19)-C(27) fragment of rifamycin S.
