Chekhov’s Protagonists in Contemporary Russian Writers’ Stories Hussein Ali Khudair Bahari

The continuity of Chekov’s text adheres to the existence of his protagonists everywhere and then. The presence of Chekhov's heroes in every place and time is the key to the text's long-term viability. He described various characters, upon whom feelings were shown in different situations, specifically feeling scared among his protagonists. The character of (Belekov) in “The introversive man” who fears everything is different from the protagonist in “Khemech” by the contemporary writer Yuri Buyda. The protagonist’s wife made an unusual reaction against Chekov after her husband's death. She screamed: “I hate your writer Chekov! I hate him! I hate him!”. This reaction was a protest and a denial of the cover idea which had become a literary mode in literary works and daily life as was presented by Chekov in “The Introversive man”. The modern writer V. Bitsokh was able in “The cabinet” to show fear in people’s behavior in the Soviet Union, and so he did show how permanent fear of the protagonists’ environment was a common factor with Chekov’s. As for the female writer G. Shcherbakova in her “The introversive man”, she presented a character of a school headmistress named (Vania) who was dedicated and ambitious. However, she neglected an important aspect of her life, making a family. This was a struggle for her cover in Chekov. Shcherbakova named her story after Chekov’s “The introversive man”, but her protagonist differed from Chekov’s (Varinka) who did not recognize others’ feelings. Here, Chekov’s text gained its controversy and dialogue in a contemporary and modernist way.

DIBALH: from known fundamental to an unusual reaction; chemoselective partial reduction of tertiary amides in the presence of esters

Highly chemoselective partial reduction of tertiary amides to aldehydes over esters are reported with commercial DIBALH. Various aldehydes are synthesized in excellent yields.

An Unusual Reaction Mode of 1-Phenylpyrazolidinones toward Diazonaphthalen-2(1H)-ones Featuring with Cascade C(sp2)−H and C(sp3)−H Bond Cleavage

Presented herein is a novel synthesis of pyrazolidinone fused 1,3-benzooxazepine derivatives via a formal [4 + 3] annulation reaction of 1-phenylpyrazolidinones with diazonaphthalen-2(1H)-ones. Mechanistically, the formation of the products involves...

One Step Synthesis of Symmetrical Amino Azine Derivatives Using Hydrazine Hydrate as a Reagent

Symmetrical Amino Azine derivative compound of 6,6'-((1E,1'E)-hydrazine-1,2-diylidenebis (methanyl-ylidene)) bis (3,4-dimethoxyaniline) TM has been synthesized through an unusual reaction route employed benzylidine derivative with some electron withdrawing groups as intermediate compounds. The targeted TM compound was prepared by one pot reaction of the intermediate 2-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzylidene) malononitrile 3 or (E)-1,2-dimethoxy-4-nitro-5-(2-nitrovinyl)-benzene 4 or nitrohydrazone 5 with excess 80% hydrazine hydrate and 10% Pd/C catalyst. However, direct synthesis to produce TM using nitro aryl aldehyde derivatives with 80% hydrazine hydrate and 10% Pd/C catalyst failed to obtain the target compound of TM.
