An efficient one-pot four-component strategy involving aldehydes, amines, alkynes and isothiocyanates has been developed to access a novel series of thiazolidine-2-imines (5a-x). This process operates under the action of a cooperative catalysis composed of Cu(I) and Zn(II) delivering the desired five-membered heterocyclic compounds in good to excellent yields. Notably, this transformation avoids the use of pre-formed imines or propargylamines and proceeds via an intramolecular 5-exo-dig hydrothiolation reaction of the in situ formed propargyl thiourea.

5Modeling Evolutionary Algorithms Simulation and Artificial Intelligence, Faculty of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The last two decades have seen many literatures on the mathematical and computational analysis of neuronal activities resulting in many mathematical models to describe neuron. Many of those models have described the membrane potential of a neuron in terms of the leakage current and the synaptic inputs. Only recently researchers have proposed a new neuron model based on the electromagnetic induction theorem, which considers inner magnetic fluctuation and external electromagnetic radiation as a significant missing part that can participate in neural activity.
