The photooxygenation of 4a,8b-dihydrobiphenylene affords an endoperoxide. NEt3-catalyzed rearrangement of this endoperoxide gave the corresponding hydroxy enone, while the CoTPP-catalyzed rearrangement afforded a bisepoxide. MnO2 oxidation of hydroxy enol leads to 4a,8b-dihydrobiphenylene-1,4-dione. The NIBS bromination of this dione produces mono- and dibromides. NEt3-supported elimination of monobromide and zinc elimination of dibromide afforded the target compound, 1,4-biphenylenequinone, which was trapped as the dimer and cycloadducts with cyclopentadiene and anthracene, respectively. Furthermore, 1,4-biphenylenequinone was generated upon oxidation of biphenylene-1,4-diol with bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodobenzene (PIFA). The stability and reactivity of the title compound is discussed.

A new and stereospecific synthesis of an inositol analogue: bis-homoinositol Kara, Y; Balcı, Metin (2003-03-17) The photooxygenation of trans-8-(acetyloxy)bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,4-dien-7-yl acetate afforded the bicyclic endoperoxide. Reduction of the endoperoxide with thiourea followed by acetylation gave the corresponding tetraacetate. The KMnO4 oxidation of the tetraacetate followed by acetylation gave dihydroxytetraacetate Ammonolysis of tetraacetate afforded the bis-homoinositol, bicyclo[4.2.0]octane-2,3,4,5,7,8-hexol.
Challenges in line-of-balance scheduling Arditi, David; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat; Suh, Kangsuk (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2002-11-01) The line-of-balance ~LOB! method of scheduling is well suited to projects that are composed of activities of a linear and repetitive nature. The objective of this study is to set down the basic principles that can be used in the development of a computerized LOB scheduling system that overcomes the problems associated with existing systems and creates solutions to problems encountered in the implementation of repetitive-unit construction. The challenges associated with LOB scheduling include developing an a...
A stable carbonyl-pyrazine-metal(0) complex: Synthesis and characterization of cis-tetracarbonylpyrazinetrimethylphosphitetungsten(0) Alper, Fatma; Kayran, Ceyhan; Özkar, Saim (2006-06-01) Pentacarbonylpyrazinetungsten(0), (CO)(5)W(pyz), is not stable in solution in polar solvents such as acetone or dichloromethane and undergoes conversion to a bimetallic complex, (CO)(5)W(pyz)W(CO)(5) plus free pyrazine. These three species exist at equilibrium. Using the quantitative H-1 NMR spectroscopy, the equilibrium constant could be determined to be K-eq = (5.9 +/- 0.8) x 10(-2) at 25 degrees C. Introducing a second pyrazine ligand into the molecule does not stabilize the complex, as CiS-W(CO)(4)(pyz)...
A theoretical study on camptothecin-AM1 treatment Türker, Burhan Lemi (2001-08-13) Camptothecin (irinotecan), a new cytotoxic agent having antitumor activity and especially used in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancers is considered for AM1-RBF type semiempirical quantum chemical treatment together with some analogs of camptothecin. The structural properties and energetics of these molecules have been compared. The structures arising from monoprotonation of camptothecin at various sites are analyzed from thermodynamic point of view.
The Pb-12(2-) and Pb-10(2-) zintl ions and the M@Pb-12(2-) and M@Pb-10(2-) cluster series where M = Ni, Pd, Pt Nalbant Esentürk, Emren; Eichhorn, Bryan (2006-07-19) Ethylenediamine (en) solutions of K4Pb9 react with toluene solutions of ML4 (M = Pt, Pd, L = PPh3; M = Ni, L-2 = COD) and 2,2,2-crypt to give M@Pb-12(2-) cluster anions (M = Pt (1), Pd (2), Ni (3)) as the [K(2,2,2-crypt)](+) salts in low (Ni) to good (Pt) yields. The ions have near perfect I-h point symmetry and have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, Pb-207 NMR and LDI-TOF mass spectrometry studies. For M = Ni, the primary product formed is the D-4d Ni@Pb-10(2-) cluster that has also been structurall...
