Abstract The synthesis of substituted isoxazole–oxazole hybrids by the noncatalytic reaction methyl 2-diazo-2-(alkyl/aryl/hetarylisoxazol-5-yl)acetates with alkyl and aryl cyanides has been reported. According to DFT calculations, proceeds through intermediate formation a nitrile ylide its subsequent cyclization at carbonyl oxygen. acrylonitrile 2-diazo-2-(isoxazol-5-yl)acetate quite differentl...

An unexpected and interesting intramolecular side reaction occurred during the attempted synthesis of glycosyl cyanides upon treatment of 1-O-acetyl-3-azido-3-deoxyallose derivatives with TMSCN and different Lewis acids. Exo-1,2-O-cyanoalkylidene derivatives formed by neighboring group participation and attack of cyanide underwent, after Lewis-acid mediated isomerization to the endo-isomer, int...

Plasma remediation is being investigated for the removal of oxides of nitrogen (NxOy) from atmospheric pressure gas streams. In previous works we have investigated the plasma remediation of NxOy from N2 /O2 /H2O mixtures using repetitively pulsed dielectric barrier discharges. As combustion effluents contain large percentages of CO2, in this paper we discuss the consequences of CO2 in the gas m...

Increasingly, there are severe environmental controls in the mining industry. Because of lack of technological advances, waste management practices are severely limited. Most of the wastes in the milling industrial effluents are known to contain cyanides and it is recognized that after extraction and recovery of precious metals, substantial amounts of cyanide are delivered to tailings ponds. Th...

This paper presents a number of new additions to the charge transfer multiplet calculations as used in the calculation of L edge X-ray absorption spectra of 3d and 4d transition metal systems, both oxides and coordination compounds. The focus of the paper is on the consequences of the optimized spectral simulations for the ground state, where we make use of a recently developed projection techn...

Non-steroidal , anti-i nfl ammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of medications that possess analges ic and anti-pyretic activit ies 1-5.
