A new reaction of phosphorylated N-sulfonylimines with hydrophosphoryl agents involving C → N transfer of phosphoryl groups

Hydrophosphoryl nucleophilic agents add to the CN bond of N-sulfonyltrichloroacetimidoylphosphonates to give unstable C,C-diphosphorylated adducts, which undergo competitive 1,2-C → N phosphorotropic rearrangement and dehydrochlorination with the formation of aza-Perkow reaction products, C,N-diphosphorylated dichlorovinylsulfonamides. This is the first reliably identified case of an aza-Perkow transformation for acid phosphites and their initial nucleophilic attack at the C atom of the azomethine bond in the aza-substrates.     

Inclusive production of vector mesons in π+ p interactions at 250 GeV/c

We report on a study of ρ⁰, ρ⁺, ω, \(\bar K^{*0} (892)\) andK ^*0 (892) inclusive production in π⁺ p interactions at 250 GeV/c, for ρ⁺, \(\bar K^{*0} (892)\) for the first time in a π⁺ p experiment. The data are compared withK ⁺ p data in the same experiment, with results of other experiments and with quark-parton models. Interesting differences are found between ρ^+,0 and ω production.     

Physicochemical aspects of the development of new functional materials based on heterosubstituted titanates of rare-earth elements with the Perovskite structure

In the example of titanates of rare-earth elements with the perovskite structure, relationships have been established for the influence of heterovalent substitution in the cation sublattices, through which the electrophysical properties within a single structural type can be controlled over a broad range, from microwave dielectrics to cationic conductors and semiconductors.

Angular dependence of Bose-Einstein correlations in interactions of π+ andK + mesons with protons and nuclei at 250 GeV/c

The angular dependence of Bose-Einstein correlations is studied in interactions of ⁺ andK ⁺ mesons with protons and nuclei at 250 GeV/c. The pion source is found to be elongated along the interaction axis in the c.m.s., with the ratioa between transverse and longitudinal dimension equal to 0.55±0.06 for the case of proton, 0.53±0.13 for the case ofAl and 0.33±0.21 for the case ofAu target. For meson-proton interactions, indication for an increase of the elongation is found with increasing event multiplicity, pair momentum and particle transverse momentum.Now at UIA, Wilrijk, Belgium     

Direct vinylation of glucose derivatives with acetylene

Vinyl ethers, promising chiral carbohydrate synthons, have been synthesized by the addition of glucose acetals (1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose, methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-d-glucopyranoside, 1,2-O-cyclohexylidene-α-d-glucofuranose, methyl α-d-glucopyranoside) to acetylene under atmospheric and elevated pressures in an autoclave in the presence of superbase catalytic systems (KOH-DMSO, t-BuOK-DMSO). The complete vinylation of 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose and methyl α-d-glucopyranoside has been realized under elevated pressure of acetylene in the system KOH-THF as well.     

Facile syntheses of unsolvated UI3 and tetramethylcyclopentadienyl uranium halides

In the course of comparing the reaction chemistry of (C5Me5)3U, 1, and its slightly less crowded analogue (C5Me4H)3U, 2, new syntheses of UI3, (C5Me4H)3U, (C5Me4H)3UCl, 3, and (C5Me5)3UCl, 4, have been developed. Additionally, (C5Me4H)3UI, 5, and (C5Me4H)2UCl2, 6, have been identified for the first time. A facile synthesis of unsolvated UI3 is reported that proceeds in high yield with inexpensive equipment from iodine and hot uranium turnings. Both UI3 and UI3(THF)4 react with KC5Me4H in toluene to make unsolvated (C5Me4H)3U in higher yield than in previous reports that involve reduction of tetravalent (C5Me4H)3UCl, 3. A more atom-efficient synthesis of complex 3 is also reported that proceeds from reduction of t-BuCl, PhCl, or HgCl2 by 2. Similarly, (C5Me4H)3U reacts with PhI or HgI2 to generate (C5Me4H)3UI. These studies also provided a basis to improve the synthesis of (C5Me5)3UCl from 1 by employing t-BuCl or HgCl2 as the halide source. Like (C5Me5)3UCl, the (C5Me4H)3UCl complex reacts with HgCl2 to form (C5Me4H)2 and (C5Me4H)2UCl2, 6, but unlike (C5Me5)3UX (X = Cl or I), the less substituted (C5Me4H)3UX complexes do not reduce t-BuCl or PhX. The synthesis of 6 from (C5Me4H)MgCl x THF and UCl4 is also included.     

Stereoselective electrocatalytic transformation of arylidene- or alkylidenemalononitriles and malonate into alkyl (1R,5R,6R)* 6-substituted 5-cyano-4,4-dialkoxy-2-oxo-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-1-carboxylates

Electrolysis of arylidene- or alkylidenemalononitriles and malonate in alcohol in an undivided cell in the presence of sodium halide as mediator results in the stereoselective formation of alkyl (1R,5R,6R)* 6-substituted 5-cyano-4,4-dialkoxy-2-oxo-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-1-carboxylates in 50-70% yields.     

Synthesis of nanosized (Li,La){Ti,Nb,Ta}O3 particles using the sol-gel method

Nanoparticles of lithium titanate, niobate, and tantalate with the structure of defect perovskite were synthesized using the Pechini method. The formation of single-phase lithium lanthanum titanate was shown to occur at 700°C. The average particle size was d ～ 15 nm. For niobate and tantalate, the formation of the perovskite phase started at 900°C; the average particle size in this case was 50–100 nm.
