N-Substituted imide-fused corannulenes can be generated from the corresponding tetramethylfluoranthenes. Syntheses, crystal structure and electronic properties are reported. The solid state structure of the pentafluorophenyl derivative shows nearly perfect π-stacking in a convex-concave fashion and is expected to possess useful electronic properties.

The reactions of the lithio-o-carborane Li2C2B10H10 with ClCH2CH2CH2Br were studied under various conditions. While the main product is the known exo-polyhedrally cyclized 1,2(1,3-propanediyl)-o-carborane (2), the expected 3-chloropropyl-substituted carborane products 1(ClCH2CH2CH2)C2B10H11 (3) and 1,2-(ClCH2CH2CH2)2C2B10H10 (4) can be obtained in a total yield of 22%. In the presence of CuCl, ...

Monosubstituted acyclic (E)-1,3-dienes undergo efficient hydrovinylation giving (Z)-3-alkylhexa-1,4-dienes upon treatment with catalytic amounts of bidentate phosphine-CoCl(2) complexes {[P~P](CoCl(2))} and Me(3)Al in an atmosphere of ethylene. The regioselectivity of the reaction (i.e., 1,4- or 1,2-addition) depends on the nature of the ligand and temperature at which the reaction is carried o...

reaction of substituted-aniline (8) with ethyl (l-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-2- carbonyl) acetate (9) gave 4-hydroxy-2-(l-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazolyl)- substituted-quinolines (lo), which were converted to compound 11 with phosphorus oxychloride. substituted-2-(l-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazo1yl)-4.- methyl-(or phenyl-) quinolines (14) were prepared through the reaction of 2- acetyl-5-nitro-1-methyl-imi...

reaction of readily available 2-formyl -1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (1) with 4-substituted-2-hydrazinothiazoles (2) afforded 2-formyl-l-methyl-5- nitroimidazole 4-substituted -2- thiazolylhydrazones (3). reaction of thiochromitn-4-one (4) with thiosemicarbazide gave thiochroman-4- one thiosemicarbazone (5). reaction of compound 5 with clc- haloaldehyde or ketones y ielded thiochroman--#-one 4-sub...

T his short report describes the background and development of the new emergency care practitioner (ECP) programme run by the East Anglian Ambulance NHS Trust (EAAT) and the Health Schools of the University of East Anglia (UEA). The programme encompasses the emerging national competencies for the ECP. Although the first pilot cohort of 10 paramedics has yet to complete the course at the time of...

Graph cocycles for star-products are investigated from the combinatorial point of view, using Connes-Kreimer renormalization techniques. The Hochschild complex, controlling the deformation theory of associative algebras, is the “Kontsevich representation” of a DGLA of graphs coming from a pre-Lie algebra structure defined by graph insertions (Gerstenhaber composition with Leibniz rule). Propert...

This article presents preliminary findings from a study designed to evaluate, develop and disseminate cards resource developed support dialogue learning about EDI. Experience of creating explore disciplinary thinking at the Universities Hertfordshire (UH) East Anglia (UEA) (Jarvis Clark, 2020) was instrumental in design. The is based on concept using ‘serious play’, ‘special kind intense experi...
