Total Synthesis of the Diterpenoid (+)‐Harringtonolide

Described herein is the first asymmetric total synthesis of (+)‐harringtonolide, a natural diterpenoid with an unusual tropone imbedded in a cagelike framework. The key transformations include an intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction and a rhodium‐complex‐catalyzed intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition to install the tetracyclic core as well as a highly efficient tropone formation.     

Application of porous metal enrichment probe sampling to single cell analysis using matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF‐MS)

There is an increasing need for analyzing metabolism in a single cell, which is important to understand the nature of cellular heterogeneity, disease, growth and specialization, etc. However, single cell analysis is often challenging for the traces of samples. In the present study, porous metal enrichment probe sampling combined with matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry ( MALDI‐TOF‐MS) has been applied for in situ analysis of live onion epidemic cell. Porous probe, treated by corroding copper wire with HCl, was directly inserted into a single cell to get cell solution. A self‐made linear actuator was enough to control the penetration of probe into the target cell accurately. Then samples on the tip of probe were eluted and detected by a commercial MALDI‐TOF‐MS directly. The formation of porous microstructure on the probe surface increased the adsorptive capacity of cell solution. The sensitivity of porous probe sampling was 6 times higher than uncorroded probes generally. This method provides a sensitive and convenient way for the sampling and detection of single cell solution. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Dye-sensitized solar cells with 3D flower-like α-Fe<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>-decorated reduced graphenes oxide as photoanodes

For the first time, we report a one-step fabrication of an environment-friendly approach to synthesize flower-like α-Fe₂O₃ hierarchical nanoparticles (NPs)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) hybrids by combining the graphene oxide (GO) with the growth of α-Fe₂O₃ NPs. The GO sheet which possesses the functional group, such as hydroxyl (–OH) and carbonyl groups (–OOH), can be easily incorporated with the petal of the flower-like α-Fe₂O₃ in ethanol and water solution through a solvothermal process, during which GO is reduced to RGO without the addition of any strong reducing agent or requiring any post-high-temperature annealing process. The as-prepared samples are loose and porous with flower-like structure, and the RGO hybrids were wrapped up uniformly on the sheet of α-Fe₂O₃ NPs. To demonstrate the potential applications, we have fabricated dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) from the as-synthesized hierarchical flower-like α-Fe₂O₃/RGO and investigated it for the photoanode of DSSCs. Results show that the hierarchical α-Fe₂O₃/RGO solar cell exhibits improved performances in comparison with the free α-Fe₂O₃ NPs. The enhancement of photovoltaic properties is attributed to the unique porous nature and good conductivity which allow more efficient diffusion of I^? ions and facilitate the transfer of electron in the network.

Phytase Production by a Marine Yeast <Emphasis Type="Italic">Kodamea ohmeri</Emphasis> BG3

The marine yeast strain Kodamea ohmeri BG3 isolated from the gut of a marine fish (Hexagrammes otakii) was found to secrete a large amount of phytase into the medium. The crude phytase produced by this marine yeast showed the highest activity at pH 5.0 and 65 °C. The optimal medium for phytase production contained oat 10.0 g/l, ammonium sulfate 15.0 g/l, glucose 30 g/l, and NaCl 20.0 g/l, while the optimal cultivation conditions for phytase production were pH 5.0, a temperature of 28 °C, and a shaking speed of 170 rpm. Under the optimal conditions, over 557.9 mU/ml of phytase activity was produced within 72 h of fermentation at the shake flask level. This is a very high level of phytase activity produced by yeasts. We think that the medium and process for phytase production by the marine yeast strain were very simple, and such marine yeast from the gut of natural marine fish may have a potential application in the maricultural industry and marine environmental protection. The results demonstrate that phytate was actively degraded by the crude phytase within a short period.     

Enantioselective alpha-arylation of ketones with aryl triflates catalyzed by difluorphos complexes of palladium and nickel

The asymmetric alpha-arylation of ketones with aryl triflates is described, and the use of this electrophile with nickel and palladium catalysts containing a segphos derivative increases substantially the scope of highly enantioselective arylations of ketone enolates. The combination of aryl triflates as reactant, difluorphos as ligand, palladium catalysts for reactions of electron-neutral or electron-rich aryl triflates, and nickel catalysts for reactions of electron-poor aryl triflates led to a series of alpha-arylations of tetralone, indanone, cyclopentanone, and cyclohexanone derivatives. Enantioselectivities ranged from 70% to 98% with 10 examples over 90%. Systematic studies on these alpha-arylations have revealed a number of factors that affect enantioselectivity. Ligands containing biaryl backbones with smaller dihedral angles generate catalysts that react with higher enantioselectivity than related ligands with larger dihedral angles. In addition, faster rates for reactions of aryl triflates versus those for reactions of aryl bromides allow the alpha-arylations of aryl triflates to be conducted at lower temperatures, and this lower temperature improves enantioselectivity. Finally, studies that compare the enantioselectivities of catalytic reactions to those of stoichiometric reactions of isolated [(segphos)Pd(Ar)(Br)], [(segphos)Pd(Ar)(I)], and [(segphos)Ni(C6H4-4-CN)Br] suggest that catalyst decomposition affects enantioselectivity.

Precision replication of hierarchical biological structures by metal oxides using a sonochemical method

A novel method for duplicating the hierarchical structures of biological substances at nanometer resolution in manganese oxides has been developed. This innovation uses natural biomorphic specimens, such as butterfly wing, cotton, and wood as templates. The biotemplates were first treated with either HCl/NaOH or HCl/H2O2/NaOH and then mixed with an aqueous solution of KMnO4. The treated biological materials were then ultrasonically irradiated, and finally, the biological templates were removed by calcination in air at temperatures between 500 and 800 degrees C. The structures of the resulting manganese oxides were characterized by a combination of XRD, FE-SEM, TEM and EDS. It was found that the fine hierarchical structures of the biological templates down to the nanometer scale were faithfully duplicated, and the duplication was positive. A mechanism for the positive replication is proposed and discussed in terms of the effects of the sonochemical reaction as well as the surface modification prior to the sonochemical reaction. The same sonochemical method can be extended to the duplication of intricate hierarchical structures of other biological forms in a large range of metal oxides.     

Interaction between dendrons directly studied by single-molecule force spectroscopy

In this article, we have investigated the interaction between two poly(benzyl ether) dendrons directly by single-molecule force spectroscopy. For this purpose, one dendron was immobilized on an AFM tip through a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) spacer, and the other dendron was anchored on a gold substrate as a self-assembled monolayer. Two dendrons approached and then interacted with each other when the AFM tip and the substrate moved close together. The rupture force between dendrons was measured while the AFM tip and the substrate separated. PEG as a flexible spacer can function as a length window for recognizing the force signals and avoiding the disturbance of the interaction between the AFM tip and the substrate. The interaction between two first-generation dendrons is measured to be about 224 pN at a force loading rate of 40 nN/s. The interaction between second- and first-generation dendrons rises to 315 pN at the same loading rate. Such interactions depend on the force loading rate in the range of several to hundreds of nanonewtons per second, indicating that the rupture between dendrons is a dynamic process. The study of the interaction between surface-bound dendrons of different generations provides a model system for understanding the surface adhesion of molecules with multiple branches. In addition, this multiple-branch molecule may be used to mimic the sticky feet of geckos as a man-made adhesive.
