Synthesis and Chromatographic Properties of New β-Cyclodextrin Derivatives with α-Schiff Base Groups for HPLC

β-Cyclodextrin 1 was directly oxidized to the corresponding monoaldehyde 2 on their primary faces by cyclized 2-iodoxybenzoic acid(IBX) in DMSO, followed by the synthesis of β-cyclodextrin derivatives bearing Schiff-base group 3. A new chiral stationary phase(BCDS 6) was then prepared by immobilization of β-cyclodextrin derivative with α-Schiff base group onto the surface of sillica gel. A series of compounds with amino groups were readily separated using this CSE Methanol and acetonitrile were tested as the mobile phase while the influence of temperature and the addition of aqueous triethylammonium acetate buffer to the mobile phase was also innvestigated. Ferrocene ligand with Schiff-based groups have been separated satisfactorilly on BCDS column.     

Preparation and Characterization of Chromium ( Ⅲ )-Containing α-and β-Tungstosilicates( Ⅱ )

The numbers of electrons involved in reductions were obtained by controlled potential electrolyses of the isomers.     

Isolation and Identification of the Major Chemical Components Found in the Upper Parts of Teucrium Pofium Plants Grown in Khuzestan Province of Iran

Teucrium polium is a dwarf sub-shrub usually 30-60 cm high with many branches, which is fairly distributed throughout Iran, with its flowering being season mainly from April to July. The plant was collected during its flowering season in Baghmalek region in the North-East of Khuzestan province, Iran. After the identification of the genus, species and variety of the plant, the dried whole plant （flowers, fruits and the leaves） was steam distilled with different methods. The isolated essential oil was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and stored at 4-6 ℃. Analysis of the essential oil was carried out by GC-MS technique. At least 10 major components were identified （3-carene/α-pinene, β-phellandrene, limonene, germacrene, β-bourbonene, β-caryophylene, γ-muurolene, γ-elemene, spathulenol, β-eudesmol） （totally 97.02%）. Also, successive TLC and column chromatography of the essential oil resulted in the separation of four fractions. Based upon 1^H NMR, IR and mass spectra, the fractions with Rf=0.12 and 0.93 were determined as gualol and a mixture of α-pinene, β-phellandrene and limonene, respectively.

1-O-芳酰基-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖四乙酸酯和1-O-芳基-D-吡喃葡萄糖的立体选向合成

l-O-Aroyl-β-D-glucopyranose tetraacetates (Ⅰ -Ⅶ) were obtained by the condensation of tetra-O-acetyl-α-ZJ-glucopyranosyl bromide with aromatic acids in K2CO3-Me2CO at room temperature. Exclusive production of β-D-anomers was confirmed by measurement of their specific rotation and also by observing their 1R and NMR spectra. Reaction of α-acetobromoglucose with methyl o- or p-hydroxybenzoate in aq. KOH-Me2CO gives the corresponding β-D-glucopyranoside(Ⅶ- Ⅷ). Control of the stereochemistry in obtaining α-D-anomers (Ⅷ-Ⅸ ) could also be satisfactorily achieved by employing penta-O-acetyl-D-glucopyranose and methyl o- or p- hydroxybenzoate in ZnG2-AcOH-Ac2O.     

Influence of PEG 6000 on gallium oxide（Ga2O3） polymorphs and photocatalytic properties

Three different nanorod-like gallium oxides with mono/poly-crystalline nature(α, β, and α/β-Ga2O3) were prepared by regulating the amount of polyethylene glycol(PEG) 6000 in the range of 0.2–0.8 g proportionally via a hydrothermal method combined with further calcination. The bandgap of the products, given by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra(UV-Vis DRS), was in the order of α-Ga2O3 > α/β-Ga2O3 > β-Ga2O3. To further investigate the photocatalysis performance of the catalysts, the decomposition of rhodamine B(Rh B) by Ga2O3 under UV light illumination(λ < 387 nm) was presented and complete degradation could be achieved within 30 min, a result that showed the highest efficiency. The photocatalytic oxidation mechanism is further discussed and prominently related to the active species: hydroxyl radical(·OH) and superoxide radical(O·-2), which were confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR).     

纳米二氧化硅负载FeCl_3作为一种高效多相催化剂用于合成1,2,4-三嗪衍生物(英文)

The FeCl3 content of the catalyst was measured by atomic absorption to get the adsorption ca-pacity. The reactions gave high yields of the product and the catalyst was easily separated and re-used for successive reaction runs without significant loss of activity.     

XPS study of potassium-promoted molybdenum carbides for mixed alcohols synthesis via CO hydrogenation

The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to investigate the surface characteristic of potassium-promoted or un-promoted both β-Mo_2C and α-MoC_(1-x) pretreated by syngas at different temperatures, and the promotional effect of potassium on the catalytic performance was also studied. XPS results revealed that the content of surface Mo and its valence distribution between β-Mo_2C and α-MoC_(1-x) were quite different. Promoted by potassium, the remarkable changes were observed for surface composition and valence of Mo distribution over β-Mo_2C. Potassium had strong electronic effect on β-Mo_2C, which led to a higher Mo~(4+) content. On the contrary, potassium had little electronic effect on α-MoC_(1-x), and K-Mo interaction was weak. Therefore, Mo~0 and Mo~(2+) became the dominant species on the catalyst surface, and the Mo~(4+) content showed almost no increase as the pretreatment temperature enhanced. In terms of catalytic performance of molybdenum carbides, the increase in Mo~0 most likely explained the increase in hydrocarbon selectivity, yet Mo~(4+) might be responsible for the alcohols synthesis.

The essential oil showed a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity (MICs ranged from 3.13 to 6.25?μL?mL(-1)). It was found that α-terpineol with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the range 0.87-1.56?μL?mL(-1) was a more potent antibacterial agent than β-pinene with MIC values of the range 1.56-6.25?μL?mL(-1). All of them, the essential oil, β-pinene and α-terpineol, were more effective against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative ones.

Multidimensional Capillary GC-GC for the Analysis of Real Complex Samples. Part IV. Enantiomeric Distribution of Monoterpene Hydrocarbons and Monoterpene Alcohols of Lemon Oils

This paper describes a fully automated, multidimensional, double-oven GC-GC system, developed in our laboratory. The system is based on the use of mechanical valves which allow the multitransfer of different fractions during the same GC analysis and the use of the two GC independently when the multitransfer options is not used. Pneumatic and electronic circuits permit maintenance of constant retention times in the pre-column, even for the components eluted after numerous transfers. The system has been used for the determination of the enantiomeric distribution of β-pinene, sabinene, limonene, linalol, terpinen-4-ol, and α-terpineol in lemon oils. The results obtained allowed the characterization of cold-pressed lemon oils.
