A New ent-Kaurane Diterpenoid from Isodon enanderianus

Isodon enanderianus (Hand. -Mazz.) H. W. Li, has been used in folk medicine as anti-inflammatory and detoxified agent1. The Isodon genus is known to be rich in ent-kaurane diterpenoids, a series of new ent-kaurane diterpenoids have been isolated from the dried leaves of I. enanderianus2-4. In order to find more biologically active substances, we have carefully investigated the chemical constituents of I. enanderianus collected in Shiping county of Yunnan province, and as a result, enanderi…     

Retention Behaviors of Uronic Acid-containing Polysaccharides and Neutral Polysaccharides in HPGPC

The determination of molecular weights (Mw) of polysaccharides has served as an important process since the physical properties of the polysaccharides are closely related to their Mw and/or molecular weights distribution (MWD). For Mw and MWD determinations, high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC) has gained wide acceptance as a preferred method due to its high sensitivity, speed and reproducibility. In chromatography, it is well known that the molecular weights are determ…     

Synthesis and Structure of E-2-(2,4,6-tri tert butylphenylphosphinyl)-2-〔N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-N-(p-chrolophenyl)〕amino-1-(2,4,6-tri tert-butyl-phenyl)phosphacthylene

Two New Compounds from Goniothalamus Cheliensis Hu

Goniothalamus cheliensis Hu (Annonaceace) is a small tree or shrub in Yunnan Province, southwest of China. Acetogenins, styryllactones and alkaloids1-3 from the genus were reported in the previous literature and many of them showed strong cytotoxic activities against a number of human cancer cell lines4. The titled plant has been the subject of our investigation due to the impressive cytotoxicity of its organic extract against mouse lymphocytic leukemia cells in preliminary pharmacological s…     

Cosolvent Effect on the Tautomerism of Ethyl Acetoacetate in Supercritical CO_2

There are some unique advantages for chemical reactions in SCFs. For example, reaction rates, yields, and selectivity can be tuned by pressure or small amount of cosolvent. SCFs can be used to replace environmentally undesirable solvents. It is not surprised that in recent years the use of SCFs as solvents for chemical reaction media has received much attention. However, mechanism for the effect of pressure and cosolvents on chemical reactions is not very clear. Tautomeric reactions are id…     

Photochemical Reduction of Aromatic Imines by 2-Phenyl-N, N-dimethylbenzimidazoline

Reduction of C=N double bonds has been recognized as an important reaction both in organic chemistry and bio-chemistry1. Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine (HEH, one of NADH model compounds) has been reported as a reductive reagent for imines2. However, application of dihydropyridines as practical reducing reagents in organic synthesis is limited because of their instability3. Like NADH models, 2-phenyl-N, N-dimethylbenzimidazoline (PDMBI) is an efficient electron and hydrogen donor (Eox = 0…     

New conversion of Friendlnder reaction of 3-amino-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitriles with cyclohexanone

Two different skeletons of heterocyclic compounds,quinoline and quinazolinone analogs could be obtained by a novel one-pot synthesis from substituted 3-amino-1 H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitrile derivatives and cyclohexanone in DMF in the catalyst of anhydrous zinc chloride under reflux.A plausible mechanism was proposed.     

Novel preparation of NaA/carbon nanocomposite thin films with high permeance for CO2/CH4 separation

Novel NaA/carbon nanocomposite thin films were successfully prepared on a porous a-Al2O3 substrate by incorporatingnanosized NaA zeolite into novolak-type phenolic resin.The prepared films were characterized by XRD,SEM and single gaspermeation tests.The NaA zeolite/carbon nanocomposite thin films exhibited that the ideal separation factor of CO2/CH4 was 28.4and the carbon dioxide flux was 3.39*10-7mol/(Pa m2s)at room temperature and under a pressure difference of 100 kPa,whichwas two orders of magnitude higher than that of pure carbon membrane prepared at the same procedures and conditions as those ofcomposite films.From the SEM images,the films were continuous and highly intergrown.Compared with carbon membranes,thethickness of nanocomposite films was drastically decreased,which was helpful to reduce the diffusion resistance and increase theflux of gas permeance.     

立交桥多跨连续梁复位监测

某立交桥在长期使用中,弯桥处多跨连续梁发生横向滑移近40cm,为此对该梁进行顶升和横移的复位施工。使用位移传感器对多跨连续梁的顶升和降落进行监测和控制,同时使用应变片监测多跨连续梁的应力。监测结果表明,相邻桥墩处的连续梁最大竖向位移差在3.40～7.89mm之间,连续梁产生的最大附加应力在-2.06～1.78MPa之间,连续梁没有裂缝产生,从而确保了多跨连续梁在复位施工中的安全。同时对钢支架的应力进行监测,得出钢管混凝土柱始终处于严重偏心受压状态的结论。在长时间监测中,采取分段测试然后测试数据累加的方法,减小了应变仪连续使用中的漂移问题。该桥的监测方法也可以用于其它桥梁的施工中。     

Design and Synthesis of Chiral Molecular Tweezers Based on Deoxycholic Acid

Molecular tweezers is a novel type of artificial receptors, which not only offer the advantage of efficient construction but also their surfaces can be tailored for specific applications. The clefts of molecular tweezers are particularly effective in regard to complementarity with substrates since functional groups attached to the interior of the cleft converge on substrates held inside1. So, in recent years, the molecular tweezers receptors have attracted more and more attention in molecular …
