Results from Super-Kamiokande and K2K

Results from Super-Kamiokande-I’s entire 1496 live days of solar neutrino data are presented, including the absolute flux, energy spectrum, zenith angle (day/night) and seasonal variation. The possibility of MSW and vacuum oscillations is discussed in light of these results. Results from the first 1289 days of Super-K-I’s atmospheric neutrino analysis are also presented, including the evidence for ν_μ →ν _τ oscillations, against ν_μ → ν_sterile oscillations, and the current limits on proton decay. Finally, results based on 56 × 10¹⁹ protons on target are given for the K2K long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment.     

Structures of deoxypeganine salts

The structures of deoxypeganine (DOP) hydrochloride and oxalate were solved by x-ray structure analysis. An infinite chain along the crystallographic c axis was formed in the crystal structure of DOP oxalate. A molecular framework consisting of Cl anions and DOP cation protonated at N1 was found in the structure of unhydrated DOP hydrochloride. The molecular packing of the “host” (DOP cation) was pseudoisostructural in the studied ion-molecular crystals but differed from other known DOP salts. The “guest” molecules (acid anions) in the studied and known DOP salts formed different intermolecular contacts. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 280–283, May–June, 2006.     

Synthesis, tautomeric states and crystal structure of (Z)-ethyl 2-cyano-2-(3H-quinazoline-4-ylidene) acetate and (Z)-ethyl 2-cyano-2-(2-methyl-3H-quinazoline-4-ylidene) acetate

The new compounds (Z)-ethyl 2-cyano-2-(3H- and 2-methyl-3H-quinazoline-4-ylidene) acetate (1 and 2, respectively) were synthesized by multi-step reactions. The structures in a solution have been determined by (1)H-NMR spectroscopy and in the crystal form by X-ray analysis. Molecule 1 crystallized in a primitive monoclinic cell, space group capital ER, P2(1/c). The cell dimensions are a=7.970(6) A, b=7.061(2) A, c=20.537(7) A, beta=97.69(5) degrees , V=1145.3(10) A(3). Molecule 2 crystallized in a triclinic cell, space group P-1, the cell dimensions are a=8.196(5) A, b=8.997(6) A, c=9.435(4) A, alpha=74.22(4) degrees, beta=89.75(4) degrees , gamma=74.07(5) degrees , V=641.9(6) A(3). In both compounds the presence of intra-molecular NH---O=C hydrogen bonding between the nitrogen atom in position 3 of the quinazoline ring and a carbonyl group of the ethyl cyanoacetate residue was proven by quantum-chemical, (1)H-NMR and X-ray methods.     

Crystal Structures of Hydrochlorides of 2,3-Pentamethylene-3, 4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one

The crystal structures of hydrate (1) and anhydrate (2) forms of 2,3-pentamethylene-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one hydrochloride have been determined by X-ray structure analysis. Crystal data of 1 are 2(C₁₃H₁₄N₂O)*3(HCl)*4.5 (H₂O), triclinic P?1, Z=2, a=8.004(5), b=13.129(7), c=15.725(7) Å, α=106.45(4), β=92.61(4), γ=97.98(5), R=0.0652 and 2 are C₁₃H₁₄N₂O*HCl, monoclinic C2/c, Z=8, a=21.360(4), b=5.954(1), c=21.263(4), β=117.89(3), R=0.0556. The crystal of the hydrate form 1is unstable. This form collapses easily with evaporation of H₂O and part of HCl molecules from crystals. By recrystallizing destroyed form has been obtained stable crystal form 2.     

Insight into the chemical bonding and electrostatic potential: A charge density study on a quinazoline derivative

2,3-Trimethylene-3,4-dihydroquinazoline shares the heterocyclic core with natural compounds and synthetic drugs. The hydrochloride of the compound forms excellent dihydrate crystals which have allowed us to collect high-resolution X-ray diffraction data and obtain the experimental charge density. The solid may be understood as built up from pairs of heterocyclic cations and chloride anions; a direct hydrogen bond links the halide to the formally cationic pyrimidine NH group. The hydrate water molecules interact with the anions, forming an infinite chain along the crystallographic a axis between the stacks of the heterocyclic cations. Based on the experimental charge density, a dipole moment of 16.1 Debye is calculated for a pair of the hydrogen-bonded quinazolinium cation and the chloride anion in the extended crystal structure.     

Alkaloids from Arundo donax. XVII. Structure of the Dimeric Indole Alkaloid Arundaphine

The newdimeric alkaloid arundaphine, a tryptamine-tryptamine base, was isolated from roots and rhizomes of Arundo donax (Poaceae). Spectral data and an x-ray structure analysis established its structure as 1-[3-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-4-indolyl]-3-hydroxy-3-(2-methylaminoethyl)-2-indolinone.
