  • Connecting Bangladesh: Economic Corridor Network
    Connecting Bangladesh: Economic Corridor Network Economic corridors are anchored on transport corridors, and international experience suggests that the higher the level of connectivity within and across countries, the higher the level of economic growth. In this paper, a new set of corridors is being proposed for Bangladesh—a nine-corridor comprehensive integrated multimodal economic corridor network resembling the London Tube map. This paper presents the initial results of the research undertaken as an early step of that development effort. It recommends an integrated approach to developing economic corridors in Bangladesh that would provide a strong economic foundation for the construction of world-class infrastructure that, in turn, could support the growth of local enterprises and attract foreign investment. About the Asian Development Bank COnnecTING BANGLADESH: ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to a large share of the world’s poor. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. ECONOMIC CORRIDOR Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, NETWORK and technical assistance. Mohuiddin Alamgir

Synthesis, physical and spectroscopic data for all new compounds General considerations: All reactions were performed under an atmosphere of argon by using standard Schlenk or dry box techniques; solvents were dried over Na metal, K metal or CaH2. Reagents were of analytical grade, obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. 1H, 13C, 11B, and 27Al{1H} NMR spectra were obtained with a Bruker AV 300, Bruker AV 400 or Bruker AVIII 400MHz BBFO1, spectrometers at 298 K unless otherwise stated. NMR multiplicities are abbreviated as follows: s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, sept = septet, m = multiplet, br = broad signal. Coupling constants J are given in Hz. Electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectra were obtained at the Mass Spectrometry Laboratory at the Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, Nanyang Technological University. Melting points were measured with OptiMelt Stanford Research System. IR spectrum was measured using Shimadzu IR Prestige-21 FITR spectrometer. N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)pivalimidoyl chloride [(DippN=C(tBu)Cl)] was synthesized according to literature report.[1] Synthesis of compound 1: 1 was generated in situ using a modified literature procedure.[2] Phenyl hydrazine (0.99 t mL, 10.0 mmol) and NEt3 (2.09 mL, 15.0 mmol) were added dropwise to a THF solution of [(DippN=C( Bu)Cl)] (2.80 g, 10.0 mmol).
