Anthrone C-glucosides from Rheum emodi

In a study of the anthraderivatives in roots of Rheum emodi, three new anthrone C-glucosides, named 10-hydroxycascaroside C (1), 10-hydroxycascaroside D (2) and 10R-chrysaloin 1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3) were isolated besides the rare compounds cascaroside C (4), cascaroside D (5) and cassialoin (6). Additionally the investigation resulted in the isolation of an acetylated chrysophanol glucoside, 8-O-beta-D-(6'-O-acetyl)glucopyranosyl-chrysophanol (7). The structures were established by comprehensive spectroscopic investigations.

Determination of trace elements in Rheum moorcroftianum by AAS

Micro and macro elements such as Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, Co, Na, K, Ca and Li were detected from Rheum moorcroftianum Royle, a plant used in folk medicines. Altitudinal and seasonal variation of these trace elements in cultivated and wild roots and leaves of R. moorcroftianum were quantified by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The highest concentrations of Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, Co, Na, K, Ca and Li were found to be 376.0?±?0.9, 83.0?±?4.6, 322.0?±?6.0, 920.0?±?1.9, 72.0?±?1.5, 402.0?±?7.8, 10,235.0?±?7.0, 12,336.0?±?2.6 and 59.9?±?0.3 mg?kg(-1), respectively, in all the samples analysed.

The chemistry and physics of zinc oxide surfaces

Metal oxides are virtually everywhere – only gold has the property not to form an oxide on its surface when exposed to the ambient. As a result, understanding the physics and chemistry of oxide surfaces is a topic of pronounced general interest and, of course, also a necessary prerequisite for many technical applications. The most important of these is certainly heterogeneous catalysis, but one has to realize that – under ambient conditions – virtually all phenomena occurring at liquid/metal and gas/metal interfaces are determined by the corresponding oxide. This applies in particular to friction phenomena, adhesion and corrosion. A necessary – but not necessarily sufficient – condition for unravelling the fundamentals governing this complex field is to analyze in some detail elementary chemical and physical processes at oxide surfaces. Although the Surface Science of metal surfaces has seen a major progress in the past decades, for oxides detailed experimental investigations for well-defined single crystal surfaces still represent a formidable challenge – mostly because of technical difficulties (charging), but to some extent also due to fundamental problems related to the stabilization of polar surfaces. As a result, the amount of information available for this class of materials is – compared to that at hand for metals – clearly not satisfactory. A particular disturbing lack of information is that about the presence of hydrogen at oxide surfaces – either as hydroxy-species or in form of metal hydrides.In the present review we will summarize recent experimental and theoretical information which has become available from single crystal studies on ZnO surfaces. While the number of papers dealing with another oxide, rutile TiO₂, is significantly larger (although titania does not exhibit a polar surface), also for zinc oxide a basis of experimental and theoretical knowledge as been accumulated, which – at least for the non-polar surfaces – allows to understand physico-chemical processes on an atomic level for an increasing number of cases. In particular with regards to the interaction with hydrogen a number of – often surprising – observations have been reported recently. Some of them carry implications for the behaviour of hydrogen on oxide surfaces in general. We will present the currently available information for both, experiment and theory, and demonstrate the rather large variety of this material’s surface properties.

Preparation of optically active cyclohexenones: Chirons for the lipophilic moiety of flowery- and woody-like odorant ketones

Optically active 2,5,6,6- and 2,4,4,5-tetraalkylcyclohex-2-en-1-ones ((+)- 2a – d and (?)- 5a – d ), important building blocks for flowery- and woody-like odorants, have been prepared. Compounds (+)- 2a – d and (?)- 5a – d were obtained by ozonolysis of the corresponding cyclopentenic precursors, followed by intramolecular aldol condensation. Alternatively, enones (+)- 2a – d were reduced to the corresponding allylic alcohols ad converted to enones (-)- 5a – d via acidic isomerization and oxidation. ¹³C-NMR assignments are presented.     

Synthesis of Thiazole and Fused Thiazolo Derivatives

The syntheses of thiazole and fused thiazolo derivatives 2 – 4 , 6 – 8 , 10a – 11b , 13 – 16 from heterocylic isothiocyanates 1 , 5 , 9 , and 12 bearing an ortho ester group and bifunctional reagents, such as substituted propargylamines, is described. Different regioselectivity of intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the thiourea S-atom on the C ? C bond, resulting in the formation of both thiazolo and thiazino derivatives, as well as NMR structure elucidation are discussed.     

Mass spectrometry of 3-substituted 4-hydroxyisoquinolines and their derivatives

Under electron impact, 3-aryl-4-hydroxyisoquinolines form [M – H]⁺, [M – CO]⁺ and [M – H – CO]⁺ ions with a subsequent elimination of HCN or CH₃CN. A cyclic structure for the [M – H]⁺ ion is suggested. The primary act of fragmentation of the corresponding methyle ether derivatives is the loss of CH₃?, as well as H?; the further fragmentatio is similar to that described above. It has been established that the unusual [M – H]⁺, [M – OH]⁺ and [M – CH₅?]⁺ ions are formed when 8 fragments. Fragmentation schemes for all compounds are proposed based upon high resolution mass spectra and deuterated analogues.

Synthesis and Application of Some Azo and Azomethine Dyes Containing Pyrazolone Moiety

3-Amino-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-one (1) was used as starting material for the synthesis of a number of azo compounds 3a—3c and azomethine derivative 4. The deblocking of 3a—3c and 4 gave rise to 5a—5c and 6 in which a free amino was revealed. The diazonium salts of 5a—5c and 6 were coupled with several phenols to produce a number of bis azo compounds 7a—7c and 8a—8c with azomethine in position 4 and azoic group in position 3. The prepared dyes were structurally confirmed by elemental analysis, spectral methods and applied to different fibers (wool, polyester and blend of wool/polyester) as disperse dyes and their fastness properties were measured.

Effects of different basis sets and donor‐acceptor groups on linear and second‐order nonlinear optical properties and molecular frontier orbital energies

The calculation of molecular hyperpolarizability, molecular frontier orbital energies of some donor‐acceptor oxadiazoles ( 5a – f , 8a – f , and 9a – f ) have been investigated using ab initio methods and different basis sets. Ab initio optimizations were performed at the Hartree–Fock (HF) and density functional (Beckee‐3–Lee–Yang–Parr; B3LYP) levels of theory with 6‐31G basis set. The polarizability (<α>), anisotropy of polarizability (Δα), and ground‐state dipole moment (μ), first hyperpolarizability (β), and molecular frontier orbital (HOMO, highest occupied molecular orbital and LUMO, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energies of 5a – f , 8a – f , and 9a – f have been calculated at the HF and B3LYP methods with 6‐31G, 6‐31G(d), 6‐31+G(d), 6‐31++G(d,p), 6‐311G, 6‐311G(d), 6‐311+G(d), and 6‐311++G(d,p) basis sets. Also, the molecular hardness (η) and electronegativity (χ) parameters have been obtained using molecular frontier orbital energies. The <α>, Δα, μ, β, HOMO, LUMO energies, η and χ parameters have been investigated as dependence on the choice of method and basis set. The variation graphics of <α>, Δα, μ, β, η, and χ parameters using HF and B3LYP methods with different basis sets are presented. We have examined the frontier molecular orbital pictures of 5a – f , 8a – f , and 9a – f using B3LYP/6‐31++G(d,p) level. The 5a – f , 8a – f , and 9a – f display significant linear, second‐order molecular nonlinearity, and molecular parameters and provide the basis for future design of efficient nonlinear optical materials having the 1,3,4‐oxadiazole core. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
