Ru(bpy)2Cl2: A catalyst able to shift the course of the photorearrangement in the Boulton-Katritzky reaction
2015
The Boulton-Katritzky reaction represents one of the most popular and efficient strategies used to realize azole-into-azole conversions. For example, under different experimental conditions, it allows the rearrangement of Z-arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (1) into 2-aryl-4-benzoylamino-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles (2) in very high yields. Moreover, we have recently realized this conversion also by UV-photostimulation. Now we have enlarged the scope of the reaction irradiating with visible or UV light an acetonitrile solution of some Z-arylhydrazones (1a-e) in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ru(bpY)(2)Cl-2. We have observed the unexpected formation of the 1-aryl-5-…
Understanding the influence of lewis acids in the regioselectivity of the diels-alder reactions of 2-methoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone: a dft study
2009
The mechanisms of the Diels–Alder (DA) reactions of 2-methoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone 1 with 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene 2, in the absence and in the presence of LA catalysts, have been studied using the DFT method at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. The uncatalyzed DA reactions between 1 and 2 take place via synchronous concerted TSs. The large activation barrier as well as the low stereo and regioselectivity associated with the uncatalyzed process are in clear agreement with the non-polar character of the cycloaddition. Coordination of the LA catalysts, BF3 or SnCl4, to the oxygen atoms of the benzoquinone 1 produces a large acceleration of the reaction, which can be associated with the l…
Palladium-Catalyzed Alkoxy- and Aminocarbonylation of α-Halomethyl Oxime Ethers: Synthesis of 1,3-Alkoxyimino Esters and 1,3-Alkoxyimino Amides
2014
The three component reactions of α-bromomethyl oxime ethers, carbon monoxide, and alcohols or aromatic amines give imino esters and amides, respectively.
Nonlinear multivalued Duffing systems
2018
We consider a multivalued nonlinear Duffing system driven by a nonlinear nonhomogeneous differential operator. We prove existence theorems for both the convex and nonconvex problems (according to whether the multivalued perturbation is convex valued or not). Also, we show that the solutions of the nonconvex problem are dense in those of the convex (relaxation theorem). Our work extends the recent one by Kalita-Kowalski (JMAA, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmaa. 2018.01.067).
Existence and Relaxation Results for Second Order Multivalued Systems
2021
AbstractWe consider nonlinear systems driven by a general nonhomogeneous differential operator with various types of boundary conditions and with a reaction in which we have the combined effects of a maximal monotone term $A(x)$ A ( x ) and of a multivalued perturbation $F(t,x,y)$ F ( t , x , y ) which can be convex or nonconvex valued. We consider the cases where $D(A)\neq \mathbb{R}^{N}$ D ( A ) ≠ R N and $D(A)= \mathbb{R}^{N}$ D ( A ) = R N and prove existence and relaxation theorems. Applications to differential variational inequalities and control systems are discussed.
An exact algorithm for preventive maintenance planning of series-parallel systems
2009
Reliability is a meaningful parameter in assessing the performance of systems such as chemical processing facilities, power plant, aircrafts, ships, etc. In the literature, reliability optimization is widely considered during the system design phase and it is carried out by an opportune selection of both system components and redundancy. On the other hand, the problem of maintaining a required level of reliability by an opportune maintenance policy has been poorly examined. The paper tackles this problem for a system whose major components can be maintained only during a planned system downtime. An exact algorithm is proposed in order to single out the set of components that must be maintai…
Catalytic performance of CoAlZn and NiAlZn mixed oxides in hydrogen production by bio-ethanol partial oxidation
2013
CoAlZn and NiAlZn mixed oxides were prepared by sol-gel method and tested in partial oxidation of bio-ethanol (POE). At lower temperatures, CoAlZn showed higher ethanol conversion and higher selectivity to H2 and CO than NiAlZn. At higher temperatures, ethanol conversion on both catalysts reached 100%, while selectivity (S) to H2 and CO became higher on NiAlZn. At 750 C, NiAlZn showed S(H2) of 95%, S(CO) of 90%, while for CoAlZn these values were 90% and 83% respectively. Both catalysts were resistant to coking, but the amount of carbon deposits was still lower on NiAlZn. During 50 h on-stream, ethanol conversion and selectivity to H2 and CO on NiAlZn remained unchanged demonstrating stable…
Transformation synthesis of aluminosilicate SSZ-39 zeolite from ZSM-5 and beta zeolite
2019
Aluminosilicate SSZ-39 zeolite has been successfully prepared by transformation from ZSM-5 and beta zeolite in the presence of N,N-diethyl-cis-2,6-dimethylpiperidinium hydroxide (DMPOH) under hydrothermal conditions. Catalytic tests in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR) show that the copper-exchanged products synthesized from the interzeolite transformation exhibit excellent catalytic performance.
All-optical long-distance quantum communication with Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill qubits
2021
Quantum repeaters are a promising platform for realizing long-distance quantum communication and thus could form the backbone of a secure quantum internet, a scalable quantum network, or a distributed quantum computer. Repeater protocols that encode information in single- or multi-photon states are limited by transmission losses and the cost of implementing entangling gates or Bell measurements. In this work, we consider implementing a quantum repeater protocol using Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) qubits. These qubits are natural elements for quantum repeater protocols, because they allow for deterministic Gaussian entangling operations and Bell measurements, which can be implemented at ro…
Evolution of oncolytic viruses.
2015
Owing to their replicative capacity, oncolytic viruses (OVs) can evolve under the action of natural selection. Reversion to virulence and recombination with wild-type strains may compromise OV safety, therefore requiring evolutionary risk assessment studies. On the other hand, evolution can be directed in the laboratory to create more potent and safer OVs. Previous work in the experimental evolution field provides a background for OV directed evolution, and has identified interesting exploitable features. While genetic engineering has greatly advanced the field of oncolytic virotherapy, this approach is sometimes curtailed by the complexity and diversity of virus-host interactions. Directed…
