The enantioselective, intermolecular hydroallylation of vinylarenes employing allylic phosphate electrophiles has been achieved through a copper hydride catalyzed process. The protocol described herein can be applied to a diverse set of vinylarene substrates and allows for the installation of the parent allyl group as well as a range of 2-substituted allylic fragments.

This report describes the growth of institutional repositories in Japan and NII’s support projects since 2004. The characteristic features of the process were: (1) the diversity of the partner universities (2) the collaboration between universities and NII, and (3) the fast localization and installation with limited budget.

This work describes the creation of a university computing cluster and its integration with the SURAgrid. The project involved acquiring and installing a cluster and adding software and middleware to integrate the cluster with the grid. The project also contributed to the development of the grid middleware build process and contributed to the grid installation/build manual.

By analyzing and summarizing the process and requirements of cross beam installation, an underwater three-direction positioning equipment is developed. Through three sets of hydraulic cylinders and MGE sliders combining hydraulic synchronizing lifting technique and computer communication technology, precise automatic positioning is achieved. The equipment can be used in positioning other simila...

Unlike typical office buildings, most retail environments aren’t wired for universal network access. Therefore, existing LAN connections usually dictate where retailers can place intelligent systems such as point of sale (POS), kiosks, security cameras and digital signage. When a system move requires dropping a new LAN line, there are two common hurdles: an onerous approval process (IT and Faci...

An efficient copper-catalyzed direct 2-arylation of benzoxazoles and benzoimidazoles with aryl bromides is presented. The CuI/PPh3-based catalyst promotes the installation of various aryl and heteroaryl groups through a C-H activation process in good to excellent yields. The cytotoxicity of obtained 2-aryl benzoxazoles (benzoimidazoles) was also evaluated and 1-methyl-2-(naphthalen-1-yl)benzoim...

Risk ranking of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) for gas and oil wells is a key criterion in the project feasibility, pricing and for introducing a risk management strategy that aims to reduce the number of failures in the installation phase and its negative consequences. HDD is currently widely used in drilling wells in Iran, but research in the area of identification and risks ranking of...
