Synthesis of mevalonolactone (hiochic acid lactone) employing asymmetric epoxidation as the key-step

(R)( — )-Mevalonolactone (hiochic acid lactone)of 91–93%e.e. was synthesized from an achiral starting material employing the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation as the key-step.     

Vibrational spectra of cyclobutanecarbonyl chloride and bromide and their α-deuterated compounds

The IR spectra of cyclobutanecarbonyl chloride and bromide and their α-deuterated compounds have been recorded in the vapor, liquid and crystal states. The Raman spectra have also been measured in the liquid state. Comparison of the spectra in the liquid phase with those in the crystal phase reveals that these acyl halides exist in a conformational equilibrium in the liquid state. Tentative vibrational assignments are proposed on the basis of the isotope effect and previous published results for other simple cyclobutane compounds.     

General theory of vibrational mode mixing and frequency shifts in resonance raman scattering

A general formalism is given for treating vibrational mode mixing, frequency shifts, and atomic equilibrium position shifts under electronic excitation in resonance Raman scattering. The theory is exact for first-order scattering at T = 0 K for all linear and quadratic electron-phonon coupling strengths. Numerical results illustrating mode mixing are presented.     

The infrared and Raman spectra of pyromellitic dianhydride

The infrared and Raman spectra of solid state samples of pyromellitic dianhydride have been measured. The infrared—Raman mutual exclusion rule has been observed and the frequencies have been tentatively assigned on the basis of D_2h symmetry. The values of the CO and skeletal ring stretching frequencies have been interpreted in terms of a conjugated π-system.     

Application of multiconfigurational many-body perturbation theory to the calculation of ionization potentials,electron affinities and excitation energ

Multiconfigurational many-body perturbation theory is applied to the problem of calculating ionization potentials, electron affinities, and excitation energies. H₂O, C₂H₄, and H₂ are studied, with correlation corrections through third order and inclusive of certain higher-order terms. Results are compared with those by other many-body theoretical methods.     

Assignment of photoelectro bands for naphthalene and anthracene by penning ionization electron spectroscopy

The Ne¹(³P₂) Penning electron spectra and the Ne I photoelectron spectra were measured in the gas phase. The observed systematic differences in their relative intensities were interpreted in terms of the electron distributions of the relevant molecular orbitals and used for assignment of the deep π bands, π₁ (12.4 eV) for naphthalene, and π₂ (11.9 eV) and π₁ (12.8 eV) for anthracene.     

A thermal lensing study of a photolysis of di-t-butyl peroxide

A photolysis of di-t-butyl peroxide (BOOB) was studied by using a thermal lensing technique. This technique is found to be applicable to the determination Of the rate Constants of the decay of t-butoxy radical (BO ) and the hydrogen abstraction reaction.
