The Hurd–Mori 1,2,3-thiadiazole synthesis is a name reaction in organic chemistry that allows for the generation of 1,2,3- thiadiazoles through the reaction of hydrazone derivatives with an N -acyl or N - tosyl group reacted with thionyl chloride . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] An analogous reaction gives 1,2,3-selenadiazole...

In mathematics, a Hurewicz space is a topological space that satisfies a certain basic selection principle that generalizes σ-compactness . A Hurewicz space is a space in which for every sequence of open covers U 1 , U 2 , … {\displaystyle {\mathcal {U}}_{1},{\mathcal {U}}_{2},\ldots } of the space there are finite set...
