Hetero-Type Benzannulation Leading to Substituted Benzothio-Phenes
TiCl4 (or SnCl4)-promoted hetero-type benzannulation reactions using various (2,2-dichlorocyclopropyl)(thiophen-2-yl)methanols proceeded smoothly to produce uniquely substituted 4-chlorobenzothiophenes (five examples).

On the mean square of the divisor function in short intervals [PDF]
We provide upper bounds for the mean square integral $$ \int_X^{2X}(\Delta_k(x+h) - \Delta_k(x))^2 dx \qquad(h = h(X)\gg1, h = o(x) {\roman{as}} X\to\infty) $$ where $h$ lies in a suitable range.
