Five optically active imidazole derivatives have been synthesized via a facile 4-step reaction sequence starting from commercially available and inexpensive N-Cbz amino acids. While microwave assisted condensation was unsuccessful, the condensation of the corresponding alpha-bromoketones with formamidine acetate in liquid ammonia was revealed to be a useful method for the synthesis of such imid...

OBJECTIVES When implants are inserted, the initial implant stability is dependent on the mechanical stability. To increase the initial stability, it was hypothesized that bone condensation implants will enhance the mechanical stability initially and that the moderately rough surface will further contribute to the secondary stability by enhanced osseointegration. It was further hypothesized that...

We discuss matrix pencils with a double symmetry structure that arise in the Hartree– Fock model in quantum chemistry. We derive anti-triangular condensed forms from which the eigenvalues can be read off. Ideally these would be condensed forms under unitary equivalence transformations that can be turned into stable (structure preserving) numerical methods. For the pencils under consideration th...

A novel method for the synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinolines under the transition-metal-free conditions has been developed. This method involves a novel combination of aromatic nucleophilic substitution and Knoevenagel condensation reactions to give pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinolines.

A Monte Carlo method was developed to simulate multicomponent aerosol dynamics, specifically with simultaneous coagulation and fast condensation where the sectional method suffers from numerical diffusion. This method captures both composition and size distributions of the aerosols. In other words, the composition distribution can be obtained as a function of particle size. In this method, part...

(Diacetoxyiodo)benzene has been used as an efficient catalyst for an improved and rapid one-pot synthesis of biscoumarin derivatives in excellent yield under reflux condition using water as a environmentally benign reaction medium. This aqua mediated Knoevenagel condensation of various aromatic and hetero-aromatic aldehydes with 4-hydroxycoumarin using catalytic amount of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene...

A condensation of various isatins with indole derivatives has been carried out in the presence of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH) as catalyst at 50 °C in ethanol in order to form 3,3-bis(indolyl) oxindoles. The products were obtained within 20-90 min by 70-96% yields. The efficacy of the procedure has been confirmed by catalyzing the condensation reaction of pyrrole which was used as ...
