The properties of nuclear matter at zero and finite temperatures

The properties of nuclear matter are studied in the frame of the Brueckner theory. The Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation plus two-body density-dependent Skyrme potential which is equivalent to three-body interaction are used. Various modern nucleon-nucleon potentials are used in the framework of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation, e.g.: CD-Bonn potential, Nijm1 potential, and Reid 93 potential. These modern nucleon-nucleon potentials fit the deuteron properties and are phase shifts equivalent. The equation of state at T = 0, pressure at T = 0, 8, and 12 MeV, free energy at T = 8 and 12 MeV, nuclear matter incompressibility, and the symmetry energy calculation are presented. The hot properties of nuclear matter are calculated using T ²-approximation method at low temperatures. Good agreement is obtained in comparison with previous theoretical estimates and experimental data, especially at low densities.     

New Approach to 4‐ and 5‐Aminopyrazole Derivatives

3‐Oxo‐3‐(pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐propanenitrile 1 coupled with aromatic diazonium salts to yield the corresponding 2‐arylhydrazones 2a–c. The latter products reacted with chloroacetonitrile and ethyl chloroacetate to yield 4‐aminopyrazole derivatives 5a–f. Reaction of 2 with hydrazine hydrate led to formation of 5‐amino‐4‐arylazopyrazole 6a–c. Compound 1 reacted also with trichloroacetonitrile to yield enamine 7, which in turn reacted with hydrazine hydrate to yield 5‐amino‐3‐(pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐pyrazole‐4‐carbonitrile 8.     

Expression of Hepatoma-derived growth factor family members in the adult central nervous system

Background  

Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) belongs to a polypeptide family containing five additional members called HDGF related proteins 1–4 (HRP-1 to -4) and Lens epithelial derived growth factor. Whereas some family members such as HDGF and HRP-2 are expressed in a wide range of tissues, the expression of others is very restricted. HRP-1 and -4 are only expressed in testis, HRP-3 only in the nervous system. Here we investigated the expression of HDGF, HRP-2 and HRP-3 in the central nervous system of adult mice on the cellular level by immunohistochemistry. In addition we performed Western blot analysis of various brain regions as well as neuronal and glial cell cultures.     

Facile synthesis of thiadiazolo [2,3-b] quinazoline derivatives via the Japp-Klingemann Reaction

Diazotized anathranilic acid and its methyl ester react with substituted α-thiocyanatoacetoacetanilides3a–c to give in both cases the corresponding thiadiazolo [2,3-b] quinazolines6a–c, respectively. A mechanism is proposed and it is substantiated by synthesis of6a from N-(2-car?yphenyl)-C-phenylcarbamoyl hydrazidoyl chloride8a or its N-(2-methoxycarbonylcarbonylphenyl) analogue8d.     

A one step synthesis of thiadiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline derivatives

Diazotized anthranilic acid and its methyl ester react with substituted phenacyl thiocyanates 3 to give in both cases the corresponding thiadiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolines 7a-e . A mechanism is proposed and it is substantiated by alternate synthesis of 7a from the hydrazidoyl chlorides 9a,b and potassium thiocyanate.     

Microwave‐Assisted Synthesis of Novel Bis(thiazoles) Incorporating Piperazine Moiety

Novel bis(hydrazinecarbothioamide) was prepared by the reaction of 1,4‐bis[(3‐formyl‐4‐hydroxyphenyl)methyl]piperazine with thiosemicarbazide. The bis(hydrazinecarbothioamide) was used as a building block for construction of a novel bis(thiazolyl)piperazines via its cyclocondensation with a series of each of α‐halocarbonyl compounds and hydrazonoyl halides in dimethylformamide in the presence of triethylamine as a catalyst under microwave irradiation. The structure of the newly bis(thiazolyl)piperazine derivatives is elucidated via the spectral data as well as elemental analyses.     

Experimental and theoretical electronic absorption spectra of 2,4‐diphenyl‐1,5‐benzothiazepine and its derivatives: Solvatochromic effect and time dependent density functional theory approach

Electronic spectra of 2,4‐diphenyl‐1,5‐benzothiazepine and some of its derivatives in 1,2‐dichloromethane and ethanol are investigated experimentally and theoretically using the time dependent density functional theory (TD‐DFT) method at the B3LYP/6‐311G** level of the theory. The origin of the spectrum of the parent compound is found to be an additive one. The observed ultra violet (UV) spectra in both solvents show two bands S1 in the range between 312–334 nm and S2 in the range between 248–272 nm. The solvent effect is investigated experimentally and theoretically and a blue shift is observed, which is explained in terms of a hydrogen bond model between the solvent and the most negative site of the solute (N atom). This theoretical model is robust in reproducing the experimental blue shift and calculating the hydrogen bond energy and hydrogen bond length. The extent of delocalization and charge transfer processes of the studied compounds is estimated and discussed in terms of natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and second order perturbation interactions (E²) between donors and acceptors. The effect of substituents of the studied compounds in both solvents shows a noticeable red shift attributed to hyperconjugation effects of the π electron systems of the different moieties.     

Synthesis of novel bis(chromenes) and bis(chromeno[3,4-C]pyridine) incorporating piperazine moiety

Novel bis(2-oxo-2H-chromene) as well as bis(2-imino-2H-chromene) derivatives incorporating piperazine moiety were prepared by the cyclocondensation reaction of bis(2-hydroxybenzaldehyde) with two equivalents of each of the appropriate β-ketoesters or acetonitrile derivatives. The bis(2-imino-2H-chromene-3-carbothioamide) derivative was used as a key synthon for construction of novel bis(3-(4-substituted thiazol-2-yl)-2H-chromen-2-one) derivatives via its cyclocondensation with a series of the appropriate α-halocarbonyl derivatives. Moreover, the bis(2-hydroxybenzaldehyde) reacted with four equivalents of the appropriate acetonitrile derivatives to afford the corresponding bis(3H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine) derivatives. Elucidation of the structure of the novel bis(chromenes) bearing piperazine nucleus was established by the spectral data and elemental analyses.     

Facile one-pot,three-component synthesis of novel bis(heterocycles) incorporating thieno[2,3-b]thiophenes via Michael addition reaction

A synthesis of novel series of bis(2-amino-3-cyano-4H-chromene), bis(2-amino-3-cyanopyrano[3,2-c]chromene), bis(6-amino-5-cyano-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole), and bis(2,7-diamino-3,4,6-tricyanopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine) derivatives linked to thieno[2,3-b]thiophene core via ether or ester linkages was reported. The formation of the target compounds presumably proceeds through a three component reaction of the appropriate bis(aldehyde) with 2 M of each of malononitrile and the corresponding active methylene compounds namely; dimedone, 4-hydroxycoumarine, 5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one, or cyanomethylpyrazole in dioxane at reflux in the presence of piperdine as a basic catalyst. The chemical structures of the new compounds were elucidated by several spectral tools.

A series of pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines were prepared via oxidative cyclization of aldehyde N-(1,3-diphenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)hydrazones. Dimroth rearrangement of such a series yielded pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines.
