New synthetic methods for spirolactams bearing an α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone or its analogous methylene-lactam have been developed. The allylation of γ-phenylthio-functionalized γ-lactams with 2-(acetoxy)methyl acrylamides was accomplished by using 2.5 equivalents of NaH to give the corresponding adducts in excellent yields. The remaining phenylthio group was substituted with a hydroxy group by treatment with CuBr, and the resulting γ-hydroxyamides were cyclized under acidic conditions to afford the corresponding methylene-lactam-fused spirolactams in high yields. On the other hand, methylene-lactone-fused spirolactams could be delivered from the allyl adducts in high yields through a sequential N-Boc protection/desulfinative lactonization.

A fast and convenient protocol for the synthesis of novel spiro[dihydropyridine-oxindole] derivatives in satisfactory yields was developed by the three-component reactions of arylamine, isatin and cyclopentane-1,3-dione in acetic acid at room temperature. On the other hand the condensation of isatin with two equivalents of cyclopentane-1,3-dione gave 3,3-bis(2-hydroxy-5-oxo-cyclopent-1-enyl)oxindole in high yields. The reaction mechanism and substrate scope of this novel reaction is briefly discussed.

A cationic rhenocene-acetonitrile adduct[Cp2Re(NCMe)](BF4)(1)reacted with an excess of benzene, thiophene, 2-methylthiophene, and pyrrole under UV irradiation to afford the C–H bond activation products[Cp2Re(H)R]BF4(R=phenyl, 2-thienyl, 2-(5-methylthienyl), 2-pyrrolyl) in high yields. In cases of thiophene derivatives and pyrrole,α-C–H bonds are selectively activated. A plausible mechanism involves the photodissociation of acetonitrile from 1 to generate a coordinatively unsaturated rhenocene cation[Cp2Re]+. When 2,5-dimethylthiophene and dibenzothiophene, having noα-C–H bonds, were used as substrates, products of the activation of other C–H bonds were formed first, but they isomerized to thermodynamically more stableη11-S-coordinated complexes in refluxing acetone. On the other hand, irradiation of theη1-S-coordinated complexes reproduced the original C–H bond activation products. Because of the cationic character,[Cp2Re(H)R]BF4were readily deprotonated by triethylamine to give neutral rhenocene derivativesCp2ReR. When R is thienyl or 2-(5-methylthienyl), treatment ofCp2ReRwithHBF4⋅Et2Oand MeI resulted in protonation and methylation to give[Cp2Re(H)R]BF4(R=and[Cp2Re(Me)R]I. Thermolysis of[Cp2Re(Me)R]Iin the presence ofPPh3unexpectedly resulted in migration of R to the Cp ring to give[(2 thienyl C5H4)CpRe(PPh3)]I.

AbstractAsymmetric synthesis of mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes and topologically chiral catenanes has been a long-standing challenge in organic synthesis. Recently, an excellent strategy was developed based on diastereomeric synthesis of rotaxanes and catenanes with mechanical chirality followed by removal of the chiral auxiliary. On the other hand, its enantioselective approach has been quite limited. Here, we report enantioselective preparation of mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes by kinetic resolution of the racemates via remote asymmetric acylation of a hydroxy group in the axis component, which provides an unreacted enantiomer in up to >99.9% ee in 29% yield (the theoretical maximum yield of kinetic resolution of racemate is 50%). While the rotaxane molecules are expected to have conformational complexity, our original catalysts enabled to discriminate the mechanical chirality of the rotaxanes efficiently with the selectivity factors in up to 16.

The EtAlCl2-mediated intramolecular addition of silyl enol ethers to both terminal and internal unactivated alkynes, bearing alkyl and phenyl susbstituents at the alkyne moiety, gave mono- and bicyclic β,γ-unsaturated ketones in good to excellent yields. On the other hand, the silyloxy-substituted cyclic vinylsilanes were obtained in moderate to high yields when the reactions were catalyzed by B(C6F5)3 in the presence of triethylsilane. All the reactions proceeded via endo-fashion exclusively. The mechanisms of these regiospecific Lewis acid-assisted carbocyclizations are proposed.Key words: Lewis acid, silyl enol ethers, carbocyclization, alkynes.

KeywordsReactions of 1-cyano-4-oxo-4H-quinolizine-3-diazonium tetrafluoroborate (1a) and 4-oxo-4Hpyridino[ 1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-diazonium tetrafluoroborate (1b) with aliphatic amines 2a - g were studied. Treatment of heteroaryldiazonium salts 1 with secondary amines 2a - d afforded the corresponding N-alkyl-N’-heteroaryltriazenes 3a - h in high yields. On the other hand, reactions of 1a with aliphatic primary amines 2e - g resulted in an unexpected rearrangements into the corresponding picolinic acid N-alkylcarboxamides 4a - c.

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.

We have become accustomed to differentiating between the scanning microscope and the conventional transmission microscope according to the resolving power which the two instruments offer. The conventional microscope is capable of a point resolution of a few angstroms and line resolutions of periodic objects of about 1Å. On the other hand, the scanning microscope, in its normal form, is not ordinarily capable of a point resolution better than 100Å. Upon examining reasons for the 100Å limitation, it becomes clear that this is based more on tradition than reason, and in particular, it is a condition imposed upon the microscope by adherence to thermal sources of electrons.

Life beyond 1MeV – like life after 40 – is not too different unless one takes advantage of past experience and is receptive to new opportunities. At first glance, the returns on performing electron microscopy at voltages greater than 1MeV diminish rather rapidly as the curves which describe the well-known advantages of HVEM often tend towards saturation. However, in a country with a significant HVEM capability, a good case can be made for investing in instruments with a range of maximum accelerating voltages. In this regard, the 1.5MeV KRATOS HVEM being installed in Berkeley will complement the other 650KeV, 1MeV, and 1.2MeV instruments currently operating in the U.S. One other consideration suggests that 1.5MeV is an optimum voltage machine – Its additional advantages may be purchased for not much more than a 1MeV instrument. On the other hand, the 3MeV HVEM's which seem to be operated at 2MeV maximum, are much more expensive.

Summary: My comment is basically restricted to the situation in which less-able students find themselves and refers only to literature in German. From this point of view I am basically able to confirm Marsh's results. It must, however, be said that with less-able pupils the opposite effect can be found: Levels of self-esteem in these pupils are raised, at least temporarily, by separate instruction, academic performance however drops; combined instruction, on the other hand, leads to improved academic performance, while levels of self-esteem drop. Apparently, the positive self-image of less-able pupils who receive separate instruction does not bring about the potential enhancement of academic performance one might expect from high-ability pupils receiving separate instruction. To resolve the dilemma, it is proposed that individual progress in learning be accentuated, and that comparisons with others be dispensed with. This fosters a self-image that can in equal measure be realistic and optimistic.

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.
