Self－assembly of Novel Hetero[3]rotaxane, [2]Rotaxanes and [2]Catenane

One linear template 13 and one cyclophane template 15, both incorporating two electron rich 1,4‐dialkoxybenzene units and one diamide unit, have been synthesized. By utilizing donor‐acceptor interaction and/or intermolecular hydrogen bonding assembling principles, one novel hetero[3]rotazane 22·4Cl, possessing one neutral and one tetracationic ring components, has been synthesized from 13, through neutral [2]rotaxane 21 as intermediate. With 15 as template, tetracationic [2]catenane 23·4PF₆ was assembled by using donor‐acceptor interaction, but no neutral [2]rotaxane could be obtained under the typical conditions of hydrogen bonding assembling principle. The interlocked supramolecular compounds have been characterized and their spectral properties are investigated.

On the permutability of Bäcklund transformations: 1 infinitesimal Bäcklund transformations of the sine-Gordon equation

Letu′=B _a u be the Bäcklund transformation of the sine-Gordon equation, we prove that $$B_{a + \varepsilon } B_a^{ - 1} u = u + \varepsilon \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {2D^{ - 1} } \frac{{\delta G_{n + 1} }}{{\delta u}}a^{2n} ,$$ where {G _n} is an infinite set of conserved densities of the sine-Gordon equation and η ⁿ ≡D ^?1δG _n /δu are just the symmetries obtained by Olver [17]. Basing upon this expansion, we prove the equivalence between the permutability of the infinitesimal Bäcklund transformations and the involution of the conserved densities of the sine-Gordon equation.

Derivatives of 2H-pyrazolo[4,5-b]-1,4-thiazine, which tend to undergo dimerization at the 2-methylene group were synthesized by reaction of 5-amino-3-methyl-4-thio-1-phenylpyrazole with -bromoacetophenones.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 265–268, February, 1989.     

Screening of glycoside isomers in P. scrophulariiflora using ionic liquid‐based ultrasonic‐assisted extraction and ultra‐performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization quadrupole time‐of‐flight tandem mass spectrometry

A powerful ionic liquid‐based ultrasonic‐assisted extraction (ILUAE) method combined with ultra‐performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization quadrupole time‐of‐flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/ESI‐QTOFMSⁿ) was employed in the rapid simultaneous screening of iridoid glycosides, phenylethanoid glycosides, and cucurbitacin glycosides from P. scrophulariiflora. The ILUAE procedure was optimized over several ultrasonic parameters, including the ultrasonic power, concentration of the ionic liquid, and solid–liquid ratio. A comparison with conventional heat‐reflux extraction and regular UAE demonstrated that the optimized approach yielded a high extraction efficiency (Picroside I, 2.84%; Picroside II, 3.57%; 6‐O‐E‐feruloyl catalpol, 2.20%) within a short extraction time of 30 min. Negative ion mode ESI‐QTOFMS² analysis of the fragmentation reactions of the [M–H]^– ions was conducted to characterize the diagnostic ions related to the glycosyl moieties, aglycone units, and the type and substituted position of the ester groups. Interestingly, the positional isomers of the iridoid glycosides could be easily discriminated based on the characteristic ions. A total of 15 glycosides, including three groups of iridoid glycoside isomers and two groups of phenylethanoid glycoside isomers, were conveniently identified within 13.5 min. Moreover, 6'‐O‐vanilloyl catalpol was identified in P. scrophulariiflora for the first time. The method developed here was further validated by measuring the recovery, correlation coefficient (R²), and reproducibility (RSD, n = 5) of three iridoid glycosides: 89.60%–109.02%, 0.9991–0.9998, and 0.93%–1.44%, respectively. This study demonstrated the capabilities of ILUAE combined with UPLC/ESI‐QTOFMSⁿ for the rapid screening of glycosides in P. scrophulariiflora. This method offers an approach to similar studies on other natural plants. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
