(E)-α,β-Unsaturatedketones 1 or esters 2 can be obtained with complete stereoselectivity by reaction of different 2-chloro-3-hydroxy ketones 3 or esters 4 and CrCl2. A comparative study of the results of synthesis of ketones 1 with CrCl2 or samarium is performed. A mechanism to explain both β-elimination reactions has been proposed.
A high performance communication facility, called the GigaE PM, has been designed and implemented for parallel applications on clusters of computers using a Gigabit Ethernet. The GigaE PM provides not only a reliable high bandwidth and low latency communication, but also supports existing network protocols such as TCP/IP. A reliable communication mechanism for a parallel application is implemented on the firmware on a NIC while existing network protocols are handled by an operating system kernel. A prototype system has been implemented using an Essential Communications Gigabit Ethernet card. The performance results show that a 58.3 mu s round trip time for a four byte user message, Emd 56.7 MBytes/sec bandwidth for a 1,468 byte message have been achieved on Intel Pentium II 400 MHz PCs. We have implemented MPICH-PM on top of the GigaE PM, and evaluated the NAS parallel benchmark performance. The results show that the IS class S performance on the GigaE PM is 1.8 times faster than that on TCP/IP.

Synthesis of di- and trisubstituted (E)-α,β-unsaturatedesters is easily achieved by using chromium dichloride through an elimination reaction of a diastereoisomeric mixture of α-halo-β-hydroxy esters. The starting materials were easily prepared by the aldol reaction of lithium enolates of α-chloroesters with aldehydes. A mechanism to explain this elimination process is proposed.
