PAN AIR: A computer program for predicting subsonic or supersonic linear potential flows about arbitrary configurations using a higher order panel method. Volume 4: Maintenance document (version 3.0)

The Maintenance Document Version 3.0 is a guide to the PAN AIR software system, a system which computes the subsonic or supersonic linear potential flow about a body of nearly arbitrary shape, using a higher order panel method. The document describes the overall system and each program module of the system. Sufficient detail is given for program maintenance, updating, and modification. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with programming and CRAY computer systems. The PAN AIR system was written in FORTRAN 4 language except for a few CAL language subroutines which exist in the PAN AIR library. Structured programming techniques were used to provide code documentation and maintainability. The operating systems accommodated are COS 1.11, COS 1.12, COS 1.13, and COS 1.14 on the CRAY 1S, 1M, and X-MP computing systems. The system is comprised of a data base management system, a program library, an execution control module, and nine separate FORTRAN technical modules. Each module calculates part of the posed PAN AIR problem. The data base manager is used to communicate between modules and within modules. The technical modules must be run in a prescribed fashion for each PAN AIR problem. In order to ease the problem of supplying the many JCL cards required to execute the modules, a set of CRAY procedures (PAPROCS) was created to automatically supply most of the JCL cards. Most of this document has not changed for Version 3.0. It now, however, strictly applies only to PAN AIR version 3.0. The major changes are: (1) additional sections covering the new FDP module (which calculates streamlines and offbody points); (2) a complete rewrite of the section on the MAG module; and (3) strict applicability to CRAY computing systems

DFT Studies of Au(I) Catalysed Reactions : Anion Effects and Reaction Selectivity

Density functional theory (DFT) is a powerful tool that can aid in the exploration and development of synthetic chemistry, and its use is often applied in the chemistry of gold(I) catalysis. In this review, we discuss two different facets of these calculations – namely, the exploration and explanation of anion effects, and the regioselectivity and speciation of gold(I)-catalysed reactions. The research described herein clearly shows the importance of including the anion in DFT studies of Au(I)-catalysed reactions, especially when using low polarity solvents, or where hydrogen-bonding is prevalent. Additionally, we show that whilst using DFT to study the selectivity of reactions can be successful, benchmarking the computational results against experimental data is vitally important for ensuring that the model is accurately describing the observed results

Synthesis of macrocyclic and medium-sized ring thiolactones via the ring expansion of lactams

A side chain insertion method for the ring expansion of lactams into macrocyclic thiolactones is reported, that can also be incorporated into Successive Ring Expansion (SuRE) sequences. The reactions are less thermodynamically favourable than the analogous lactam- and lactone-forming ring expansion processes (with this notion supported by DFT data), but nonetheless, three complementary protecting group strategies have been developed to enable this challenging transformation to be achieved

Visible-light-induced intramolecular charge transfer in the radical spirocyclisation of indole-tethered ynones

Indole-tethered ynones form an intramolecular electron donor-acceptor complex that can undergo visible-light-induced charge transfer to promote thiyl radical generation from thiols. This initiates a novel radical chain sequence, based on dearomatising spirocyclisation with concomitant C-S bond formation. Sulfur-containing spirocycles are formed in high yields using this simple and mild synthetic protocol, in which neither transition metal catalysts nor photocatalysts are required. The proposed mechanism is supported by various mechanistic studies, and the unusual radical initiation mode represents only the second report of the use of an intramolecular electron donor-acceptor complex in synthesis

Evaluating the Viability of Successive Ring-Expansions Based on Amino Acid and Hydroxyacid Side-Chain Insertion

The outcome of ring expansion reactions based on amino/hydroxyacid side chain insertion is strongly dependent on ring size. This manuscript, which builds upon our previous work on Successive Ring Expansion (SuRE) methods, details efforts to better define the scope and limitations of these reactions on lactam and β-ketoester ring systems with respect to ring size and additional functionality. The synthetic results provide clear guidelines as to which substrate classes are more likely to be successful and are supported by computational results, using a Density Functional Theory (DFT) approach. Calculating the relative Gibbs free energies of the three isomeric species that are formed reversibly during ring expansion enables the viability of new synthetic reactions to be correctly predicted in most cases. The new synthetic and computational results are expected to support the design of new lactam- and β-ketoester-based ring expansion reactions

Selectivity, Speciation, and Substrate Control in the Gold-Catalyzed Coupling of Indoles and Alkynes

A convenient and mild protocol for the gold-catalyzed intermolecular coupling of substituted indoles with carbonyl-functionalized alkynes to give vinyl indoles is reported. This reaction affords 3-substituted indoles in high yield, and in contrast to the analogous reactions with simple alkynes which give bisindolemethanes, only a single indole is added to the alkyne. The protocol is robust and tolerates substitution at a range of positions of the indole and the use of ester-, amide-, and ketone-substituted alkynes. The use of 3-substituted indoles as substrates results in the introduction of the vinyl substituent at the 2-position of the ring. A combined experimental and computational mechanistic study has revealed that the gold catalyst has a greater affinity to the indole than the alkyne, despite the carbon-carbon bond formation step proceeding through an η2(π)-alkyne complex, which helps to explain the stark differences between the intra- and intermolecular variants of the reaction. This study also demonstrated that the addition of a second indole to the carbonyl-containing vinyl indole products is both kinetically and thermodynamically less favored than in the case of more simple alkynes, providing an explanation for the observed selectivity. Finally, a highly unusual gold-promoted alkyne dimerization reaction to form a substituted gold pyrylium salt has been identified and studied in detail
