Synthesis of perfluoroheptanal by ozonolysis of perfluoro-1-octene

Perfluoro-1-octene was used as a model for developing a method for the preparative ozonolysis of perfluoro-1-alkenes to the corresponding perfluoro-nor-alkenals. Perfluoroheptanal was synthesized.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1146–1147, June, 1994.

Crystal structure of a tetrabromo derivative of cyclopropyldihydroarglabin and its antifungal activity

A tetrabromo derivative of arglabin was synthesized stereoselectively. The molecular structure of the new compound was established using PMR and 13C NMR spectra and an x-ray structure analysis. Its antifungal activity was demonstrated. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 253–254, May–June, 2006.     

Synthesis of thiadiazabicyclane and bis-1,3,5-dithiazinane by cyclothiomethylation of aliphatic diamines with CH2O and H2S

Cyclocondensation of aliphatic diamines with CH₂O and H₂S (1:3:2 ratio, 0 °C) was carried out to give thiadiazabicyclanes and dithiadiazabicyclanes (1:6:4 ratio), which were previously difficult to synthesize. Symmetric α,ω-bis-1,3,5-dithiazinanes were synthesized at 80 °C by this reaction. The stereochemistry of thiadiazabicyclanes was assigned by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and by theoretical DFT calculations, and of bis-dithiazinanes by X-ray diffraction study in the solid state.     

Finite-element modeling of the heat mode of autoclave hardening of a three-layer panel

Results of finite-element modeling and experimental measurements of temperatures in the course of autoclave hardening of a three-layer panel of the wing of a T-50 aircraft, which is composed of upper and lower load-bearing panels made of carbon plastics and honeycomb from aluminum foil, are given. It is shown that the actual temperature values at various sections of the panel of wing differ from the theoretical ones by less than 90%.     

Analysis of the temperature field of cylindrical flow based on an on-the-average exact solution

The temperature field in a well is constructed on the basis of an on-the-average exact solution, which allows investigation of problems of subterranean thermodynamics and heat and mass transfer. The problem is represented in the form of a sequence of problems of a mixed type, whose solutions give corresponding asymptotic-expansion coefficients and the form of the remainder term and the functions taking into account the presence of the boundary layer, for which analytical solutions are also found. It is shown that the proposed modified asymptotic method provides vanishing of the solution of the averaged problem for the remainder term.

Multibubble sonolysis and sonoluminescence in molten elementary sulfur and sulfur—styrene mixture

The effect of saturation with argon, as well as styrene and iodine additives on the temperature dependence of multibubble sonoluminescence intensity in molten sulfur at 120–230 °C was studied. The shape of the temperature dependence with a maximum at 170–200 °C is determined by the viscosity variations related to the changes in the molecular structure of molten elemental sulfur. At high temperatures, cyclooctasulfane (S₈) molecules break to radical products, which then undergo polymerization that can be slowed down by the additives. Sulfurization of styrene during sonolysis of a sulfur—styrene mixture resulting in products of the thiophene series was detected. Unlike thermal sulfurization that affords 2,5-diphenylthiophene as a major product, sonochemical sulfurization results mainly in 2,4-diphenylthiophene. The mechanism of 2,4-diphenylthiophene formation initiated by the reaction of styrene molecules with S⁺ ions produced upon fragmentation of S₈ within cavitation bubbles is proposed. The glow of electronically excited S⁺* ions is responsible for the band with a maximum at 560 nm in the sonoluminescence spectrum of molten sulfur, which is suppressed by the styrene additive.     

Multicomponent heterocyclization of hydrazine,hydrogen sulfide,and formaldehyde

Multicomponent heterocyclization of hydrazine, hydrogen sulfide, and formaldehyde gave previously unknown bi-, tri-, and tetracyclic nitrogen- and sulfur-containing heterocycles. 3,7-Dithia-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane, 4,9-dithia-1,2,6,7-tetraazatricyclo[5.3.1.1^2,6]dodecane, and 4,9,14-trithia-1,2,6,7,11,12-hexaazatetracyclo[10.3.1.1^2,6.1^7,11]octadecane were obtained selectively, depending on the reaction temperature (0–60 °C).Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.
