Enantioselective transition metal catalysis directed by chiral cations

Enantioselective transition metal catalysis directed by chiral cations is the amalgamation of chiral cation catalysis and organometallic catalysis. Thus far, three strategies have been revealed: ligand scaffolds incorporated on chiral cations, chiral cations paired with transition metal ‘ate’-type complexes, and ligand scaffolds incorporated on achiral anions. Chiral cation ion-pair catalysis has been successfully applied to alkylation, cycloaddition, dihydroxylation, oxohydroxylation, sulfoxidation, epoxidation and C–H borylation. This development represents an effective approach to promote the cooperation between chiral cations and transition metals, increasing the versatility and capability of both these forms of catalysts. In this review, we present current examples of the three strategies and suggest possible inclusions for the future.

Photogeneration and quenching of reactive oxygen species by urocanic acid

Urocanic acid, UCA, is characterized by two electronic transitions in the UV-B (280-320 nm) which comprise its broad absorption spectrum and give rise to wavelength-dependent isomerization quantum yields. The absorption spectrum of UCA extends into the UV-A (320-400 nm). Given the UV-A component of sunlight is significantly greater than the UV-B component it is hypothesized even weak UV-A photochemistry of UCA could be important for in vivo responses to UV radiation. Degenerate pump-probe experiments performed on t-UCA at several wavelengths in the UV-A reveal an excited-state absorption that undergoes a rapid, approximately 1 ps decay. Photoacoustic experiments performed on both the cis and trans isomers reveal the formation of a long-lived intermediate following UV-A excitation. The efficiency and action spectra for this latter photoactive process are presented and are similar for both isomers of UCA. Cholesterol hydroperoxide assays designed to investigate the nature of the UV-A photoreactivity of t-UCA confirm the production of reactive oxygen species. The bimolecular rate constant for the quenching of singlet oxygen by t-UCA is determined to be 3.5 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1). Taking into consideration recent theoretical calculations and jet expansion studies of the electronic structure of gas-phase t-UCA, a model is proposed to explain the isomerization and photoreactivity of t-UCA in solution over the UV-A region.     

Effect of mobile phase acidic additives on enantioselectivity for phenylalanine analogs

The use of acidic mobile phase additives allows the chiral separation of underivatized phenylalanine analogs on a common amylosic column. In addition to decreasing retention and band-broadening arising from non-ideal interactions, acidic additives may also increase selectivity. This appears to be due to the minimization of non-selective binding in the recognition site. Effects of the additives are related to additive pKa and size. Ethanesulfonic acid was typically the most effective additive with trifluoroacetic acid being one of the least effective.     

内蒙古牧区蒙、汉族人发铜、锌、铁、锶及钙的X-射线荧光光谱法测定

用X-射线荧光光谱法，测定了387例内蒙古牧区蒙古族、汉族成人和儿童的发中铜(Cu)、锌(Zn)、铁(Fe)、锶(St)及钙(Ca)的含量，对同一地区蒙、汉族成人间，成人及儿童间发中五种元素含量进行了比较分析。结果表明：蒙汉族成人发中Cu，Zn、Fe含量不受种族及饮食习惯的影响，其含量无显著性差异；蒙汉族成人发中Sr和Ca含量存在着相平行的显著差异；牧区儿童发Zn含量与牧区成人发Zn含量差异无显著性意义，提示牧区儿童不缺Zn，可能与多动物性食物有关；牧区儿童发中Cu、Fe、Sr、Ca均显著低于牧区成人、可能与儿童发育旺盛和Zn摄入量高对Cu、Fe吸收发生抑制有关。     

Cu-Zn-Sn体系富Sn区液相限的研究

近些年来,无铅低熔点填料日渐引起人们的兴趣,且将得到广泛的应用。Cu-Zn-Sn合金正是无铅低熔点填料的一种基本合金。该体系相图虽有一些报道,但他们的研究只涉及富铜区(>50Wt％)的液相限和等温截面(500℃)。我们颇感兴趣的富Sn区的液相限,尚未见文献报道,因此测定该体系富Sn区的液相限是必要的。关于Cu-Zn-Sn体系的三个相关二元体系,已有文献报道,也较成熟。对于Cu-Zn体系,富Zn区600℃以下存在两个转熔反应,其转熔点分别为Q(～88Wt％Zn,598℃),W(97.5-98.5Wt％Zn,424℃);Cu-Sn体系富Sn区有一个转熔反应,其转熔点
