硼氢化钠水解制氢的研究

采用置换镀的方法在泡沫镍基体上获得不同载钌量的NaBH4水解制氢催化剂。实验结果表明，NaBH4水解制氢反应为零级反应，氢气生成速率随载钌量的增加而变快；当泡沫镍表面完全被钌覆盖时，载钌量为6%，相应的催化能力最强。与离子交换树脂载钌催化剂相比，泡沫镍载钌催化剂更稳定、耐用。实验还证实，30%比35%的NaBH4水溶液在相同的催化剂作用下更易发生水解反应；NaBH4水溶液中加入少量的NaOH有助于提高钌催化剂的催化性能。通过对NaBH4储氢体系的能量计算，说明采用该氢源体系的微型燃料电池的能量密度有望达到甚至超过锂离子电池的比能量水平。

Asymmetric baker’s yeast reductions of bridgehead-substituted bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-dione derivatives followed by conversion into catalytically active BODOLs for the diethylzinc addition to benzaldehyde

4-Substituted bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-diones have been synthesized and tested as substrates in the enantioselective reduction with baker’s yeast to give the corresponding hydroxy ketones. It was found that the derivative bearing a TIPSO group at the 4-position was not reduced at all while that with a TBDMSO group gave 87% yield and 46% ee. Other 4-oxy functionalized derivatives were reduced with varying yields (36–87%) and ees (10–82%). The best result was obtained for the 4-Oallyl derivative (80% yield, 82% ee). The hydroxy ketones carrying the benzyloxy and allyloxy groups at the 4-position were converted into the corresponding BODOLs, which were tested as catalysts in the diethylzinc addition to benzaldehyde. In this reaction the ees were 90% and 89%, respectively, which showed that BODOLs substituted at the 4-position are essentially as good catalysts in this reaction as those bearing a hydrogen.     

The Asymmetric Syntheses of Methyl <small>D</small>-Digitoxoside, <small>L</small>-Oleandrose and <small>L</small>-Cymarose from Methyl Sorbate, an Achiral Precursor

The addition of 4?eq of chloral to osmundalactone (4S,5R)-4 gave quantitative formation of the hemiacetal derivative (4S,5R)-8, which was treated with methane sulfonic acid to afford the intramolecular Micheal addition product (+)-(3S,4S,5R)-9 possessing a 3,4-cis-dihydroxy-δ-lactone in 78% overall yield from (4S,5R)-4. The obtained (+)-(3S,4S,5R)-9 was subsequently converted to methyl D-digitoxoside (pyranoside) (12) in 13% overall yield and methyl D-digitoxoside (furanoside) (12) in 20% overall yield. The reaction of benzyl-osmundalactone (4R,5S)-3 and MeOH in the presence of Amberlyst A-26 as a basic catalyst gave 3,4-trans-δ-lactone (－)-(3S,4R,5S)-20 in 28% yield and 3,4-cis-δ-lactone (－)-(3R,4R,5S)-21 in 45% yield. Dibal-H reduction of (－)-(3S,4R,5S)-20 followed by catalytic hydrogenation gave L-oleandrose (6) in 86% overall yield, while Dibal-H reduction of (－)-(3R,4R,5S)-21 followed by catalytic hydrogenation provided L-cymarose (7) in 85% overall yield.     

Application of pressurized liquid extraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to determine 4-nonylphenols in sediments

A time- and solvent-saving method, pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), to extract 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) in sediment was developed. The effects of various operational parameters (i.e., temperature, pressure, etc.) for the quantitative extraction of 4-NP by PLE were investigated. The analytes were then identified and quantitated by a large-volume injection GC-MS technique. The 4-NP can be completely extracted by methanol at 100 degrees C and 100 atm combined with 15 min static and then 10 min dynamic extraction steps (1 atm = 101,325 Pa). Recovery of 4-NP in spiked blank kaolin samples was 98% with 5% RSD. The degrees of recovery of 4-NP in the spiked sediment samples from a reservoir and a polluted river were 111% with 4% RSD and 106% with 5% RSD, respectively. The perfect applicability of PLE for 4-NP was determined after testing it with spiked and aged samples. The extraction efficiency of the PLE was compared with conventional Soxhlet and bath ultrasonication extraction methods using the spiked sediment samples.     

Unusual aluminum chloride-assisted conversion of isopropenyl acetate into 3-acetyl- and 3,5-diacetyl-2,6-dimethyl- 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyran-4-ones

Reflux of isopropenyl acetate with an excess of AlCl₃ in 1,2-dichloroethane affords 3,5-diacetyl-2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran-4-one in 17% yield. The mild acidic cleavage of the latter (2% HCl, 20 °C, 16 h) gives 3-acetyl-2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran-4-one in 87% yield, whereas this reaction under more drastic conditions (17% HCl, reflux, 3 h) gives 2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran-4-one in 61% yield.

Study on PEG-（NH4）2SO4 Aqueous Two-Phase System and Distribution Behavior of Drugs

The distribution behavior of chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ), procaine hydrochloride (PCN) and procaine amide hydrochloride (PCNA) in polyethylene glycol (PEG800 or PEG1500)-(NH4)2SO4 aqueous two-phase systems has been investigated. The result shows that the PEG-(NH4)2SO4 aqueous two-phase system has potential extraction capability in small molecular drug separation. In PEG800-(NH4)2SO4 system, the extraction efficiencies (E) of CPZ, PCN and PCNA amount to 92.8%, 74.5% and 74.4%, respectively, with the distribution coefficients (KD) being 25.7, 5.9 and 5.8, correspondingly. In PEG1500-(NH4)2SO4 system, the extraction efficiencies (E) of CPZ,PCN and PCNA are 93.7%, 71.3% and 63.2%, respectively, with distribution coefficients (KD) of 39.6, 6.6 and 5.0,correspondingly. Based on the study on ultraviolet and fluorescence spectra and also distribution behavior of the drugs in PEG-(NH4)2SO4 aqueous two-phase system, extraction mechanism was further proposed that both hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction are involved in extraction.     

Concurrent induction of two chiral centers from symmetrical 3, 4-disubstituted and 3,3,4-trisubstituted 4-pentenals using Rh-catalyzed asymmetric cyclizations

Asymmetric cyclization of symmetrical 3,4-disubstituted and 3,3, 4-trisubstituted 4-pentenals was studied using Rh-complexes with chiral ligands. The cyclization of symmetrical 4-pentenals 4a,b by a neutral Rh[(R)-BINAP]Cl afforded cis-3,4-disubstituted (4R)-cyclopentanones 9a,b of >95% ee in 25-31% yields; on the other hand, the cyclization of 4a-c by a cationic Rh[(R)-BINAP]ClO(4) afforded trans-3,4-disubstituted (4S)-cyclopentanones 10a-c of >95% ee in 70-81% yields. All stereoisomers could be stereoselectively made by the selection of a neutral or cationic Rh-complex, and (R)- or (S)-BINAP ligand. The Rh-catalyzed cyclization could be applied to the construction of cyclopentanones 17 and 18 bearing a chiral quaternary carbon. The cyclization by the cationic Rh[(R)-BINAP]ClO(4) afforded the optically active trans-3,3, 4-trisubstituted cyclopentanones 18a-c of 92-95% ee in 75-83% yields. The catalytic cycle was also studied by using deuterium aldehyde, and the tentative mechanisms of the enantio- and diastereoselection were proposed.

Synthesis of water-soluble dendrimers based on melamine bearing 16 paclitaxel groups

The design, synthesis, and characterization of triazine dendrimers derivatized with the anticancer agent paclitaxel are described. The precursor generation two dendrimer 1 is prepared in six linear steps in 64% overall yield and presents 16 amines and two groups for radioiodination. This macromolecule is subsequently derivatized with a paclitaxel conjugate to yield a generation three dendrimer, 2, which is then pegylated in two steps. The pegylated final products, 4a and 4b, with molecular weights of 46 and 77 kDa, respectively, solubilize paclitaxel in water. Pegylated dendrimer 4a is 30 wt % paclitaxel, 52 wt % PEG, and 18 wt % dendrimer. Target 4b is 18 wt % paclitaxel, 71 wt % PEG, and 11 wt % dendrimer.     

Caged trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal

[reaction: see text] A caged 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) has been prepared and its photochemistry investigated. Upon photolysis, 1 releases 4-HNE in up to 100% yield. From these photolyses, 4-HNE could be isolated in up to 91% yield. 4-HNE is produced under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The caging strategy does not require prior preparation of 4-HNE and, therefore, represents a three-step synthetic route to the bioactive enal in 48% overall yield.     

Remarkable Chichibabin-type cyclotrimerisation of 3-nitrotyrosine, tyrosine and phenylalanine to 3,5-diphenylpyridine derivatives induced by hypochlorous acid

Reaction of 3-nitrotyrosine with HOCl in aqueous phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) leads to a mixture of extractable products, including 3,5-di(4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)pyridine (15% isolated yield) and 3,5-di(4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)-2-(4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylmethyl)pyridine (3%) arising by a Chichibabin-like pyridine synthesis via N-chloroimine intermediates. Under the same conditions, phenylalanine gives 3,5-diphenylpyridine in 9% isolated yield, while tyrosine leads to 3,5-di(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine (3%) and 3-(3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine (3%).
