A valence bond isomer of pentakis-(trifluoromethyl)-l, 3-diazepine (44) was prepared from (43) (81TL1113) (44) can be transformed thermally or photochemically to a 2,4-diazabicyclo(3.2.0)hepta-2,6 diene (45), which was subsequently photolysed to an imidazole in an anionic process. Compound (45) is highly acidic arising out of the bishomoaromaticity of the anion and forms a salt with Et3N (81TL1369). 

Polymer-assisted methodology has been used several times for parallel-array synthesis of libraries involving three to five synthetic steps. Scheme 11 shows a three-step solution-phase synthesis of 2-thioxo-4-dihydro-pyrimid-inones wherein the key purification step involved amine resin 1 to sequester excess aldehydes and isot,hiocyanates from upstream transformations. Thermal cyclization of the purified intermediates gave the desired 2-thioxo-4-dihydropyrimidinones in excellent yields and purities.83... 

Compound 610 was transformed thermally to the tetrazolo[5,l-b]purin-7(8//)-one 639 through Curtius rearrangement via the isocyanate intermediate 638 (86H1899). Reaction of 626 (R = Ph) with bromine or sulfuryl chloride led by ring opening and decarboxylation to the halogenated tetra-... 

The central thesis of the theory of the non-steady combustion of powders and explosives developed by Ya.B. in this article is the assumption of rapid readjustability of the gas phase of combustion compared to thermal changes in the condensed phase, which allows us to consider the gas phase as quasi-steady. This fundamental property of burning condensed materials allows us not only to significantly simplify the solution of the problem by reducing it to an analysis of the non-steady temperature distribution in the surface layer of the condensed material, but also not to carry out a detailed analysis of the complex structure of the combustion zone above the material (the multi-stage character of the chemical transformation, thermal decomposition, and gasification of the dispersed particles of condensed material and other processes). 

Polypyrazoles of the type 62 have been prepared.65 These polymers are formed from the low-temperature solution condensation of 1,1 -bis(diketo)ferrocenes with aromatic or pseudoaromatic dihydrazines to give polyhydrazones which are transformed thermally to the polypyrazoles. Polybenzimadazole (63) has been prepared68 from l,l -ferrocenedicarboxylic acid and 3,3 -diaminobenzidine. 

It should be noted that still further complexities may be introduced by the photo and thermal isomerization of the oxazoles.35,36 For example, irradiation of 2-phenyloxazole (91) gives 4-phenyloxazole (92) and 3-phenyl-2//-azirine-2-carbaldehyde (93) the latter product is transformed thermally, but not photochemically, into 3-phenylisoxazole (94). 

The adduct obtained from acetaldehyde and perfluoro-3,4-dimethylhex-3-ene on y-irradiation was transformed thermally into a fluoroalkylated furan in the presence of tributylamine (80TL1891). 4,5-Bis(trifluoro-methyl)octa-3,6-dione, the addition product of propionaldehyde to hexafluoro-2-butyne on y-irradiation, yields 2,5-diethyl-3,4-bis-(trifluoromethyl)furan on treatment with sulfuric acid (91JHC225) (Scheme 51). 

Several vinylcyclopropane to cyclopentene rearrangements have been reported in which a cationic substituent appears to facilitate the reaction. For example, exposure of (150 equation 23) to excess di-ethylaluminum chloride at 0 C for 12 min furnished (151), which served as a key intermediate in Corey and Myers synthesis of the plant hormone antheridogen-An. Attempts to effect this transformation thermally were unsuccessful. In a similar fashion, treatment of (152 equation 24) with boron tribromide induced VCP rearrangement of this compound at room temperature, probably via initial cleavage to the allylic carbocation (153). The reaction of the analogous vinylcyclopropane lacking a phenyl group failed to go to completion under these conditions. 

Since the appearance of the theoretical consideration that the formation of tetrahedrane from two acetylenes would be a photochemically allowed process, a number of papers dealing with attempted syntheses of tetrahedranes have been published. It was reported that 2,2 -bis(phenylethynyl)biphenyl (26) was transformed thermally and photochemically into an isomeric hydrocarbon, for which a tetrahedrane (27) or a cyclobutadiene (28) structure would be possible . Actually, the structure of the hydrocarbon was confirmed to be 9-phenyl-l,2 3,4-dibenzo-anthracene (29) derived from transannular bond formation . ... 

Kauffmann and coworkers 12) studied another hetero-analogous but in this case an anionic system, N-lithio-cis-2,3-diphenylaziridine (4). 4 transforms thermally into endo,exo-l,3-diphenyl-2-azallyllithium (5). 

The maximum stress is obtained after each cycle and so no stress relaxation occurs. Note that the deflection measurements start with a dried membrane which already shows a certain deflection which is equivalent to a tensile stress level of 30 0 MPa. It is not clear at the moment whether it is allowed to sum up these two contributions or that the drying stress relaxes during heating and is replaced by stresses originating in the phase transformation/thermal mismatch processes. In any case when summing up is allowed the final stress in the y-alumina after cooling down is not greater than 30 MPa in the other case it is zero. 

Triphenylbismuth difluoride has been synthesized by thermal decomposition of a cationic triphenylbismuth(V) complex [Ph3Bi(OAsPh3)2][Bp4]2 in dichloromethane [731C944]. Tetraphenylbismuth tribromide is transformed thermally to triphenylbismuth dibromide [52LA(578)136], while tetraphenylbismuth triphenylsiloxide is readily cleaved by HCl to give triphenylbismuth dichloride [75DOK(225)581]. 

Secondly, the polarity/solubility of the material can be changed. This approach has barely been followed. One prominent example, however, is the first luminescent polymer, poly(p-phenylenevinylene (PPV), which was obtained via a polar sulfonium precursor [5]. Here, the ionic precursor can be transformed thermally into a nonpolar polymer, which is insoluble in all organic solvents...

Studies are currently in progress to develop functional transducers to transform thermal energy in electric energy with a power output of several W cm working volume, and an efficiency of >20%. 

Vitamin Dj can be synthesized in the skin or derived from dietary sources. Skin synthesis of vitamin D3 from 7-dehydrocholesterol involves a previtamin D intermediate (Fig. 2), is a nonenzymatic process involving light and heat, and therefore can be mimicked in the test tube. Once the previtamin D is formed in the upper layers of the skin as the result of the reaction of ultraviolet light, it filters down to the lower layers where it is slowly transformed thermally into vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 and its metabolites are primarily hydrophobic and thus require a transport protein to be carried in the aqueous environment of the bloodstream. A specific globulin known as vitamin D binding protein or DBF exists for the purpose of transporting vitamin D3 from the skin to the liver for the first step of activation to carry its initial product, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH-D3) to the kidney for the second step of activation, and also to carry the active form, la,25-(0H)2D3, to its sites of action.
