Cluster Heat Bath Algorithm in Monte Carlo Simulations of Ising Models
We have proposed a cluster heat bath method in Monte Carlo simulations of
Ising models in which one of the possible spin configurations of a cluster is
selected in accordance with its Boltzmann weight. We have argued that the
method improves slow relaxation in complex systems and demonstrated it in an
axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising(ANNNI) model in two-dimensions.Comment: 10 pages, REVTeX, 2 figures, to appear in Phys.Rev.Let
Synthesis of nitrogen-substituted methylenecyclopropanes by strain-driven overman rearrangement of cyclopropenylmethyl trichloroacetimidates
Nitrogen-substituted methylenecyclopropanes have been prepared by a strain-driven Overman rearrangement of cyclopropenylmethyl trichloroacetimidates. The reaction proceeds at room temperature and without the need of a transition-metal catalyst. Furthermore, it has been shown that C-3-substituted cyclopropenylmethyl trichloroacetimidates undergo a hydrolytic ring-opening reaction to form allenylcarbinols
