水中溶解氧的微量滴定

将微量滴定技术应用于常规的碘量法测定水中溶解氧。在实验中采用了WD-CO3型微量滴定装置，并使用自行设计制成的高精度微量移液管（移液的体积可准确至0．001mL），作为转移标准溶液及试样溶液的工具。对微量滴定及微量移液与常量滴定和常量移液作了对比试验，结果表明两者的分析结果完全吻合，微量滴定（其中包括微量移液）所得结果的精密度也在定量分析允许范围之内。由此，微量滴定技术应用于水中溶解氧的日常分析的可行性得到了验证。

α-单取代环十二酮肟及缩氨基硫脲的合成及晶体结构

单晶X射线衍射分析表明, α-单取代环十二酮与氨衍生物羟胺和氨基硫脲发生缩合反应得到两种母体构象均为[3333], 而取代基为边外向或角反向的α-单取代环十二酮肟或缩氨基硫脲. 利用底物的“角位羰基参与反应”原理, “记忆效应”及进攻试剂与底物是否形成氢键解释了这一实验结果. 通常情况下, 试剂从空间障碍小的一面进攻羰基而生成α-角反取代环十二酮肟或缩氨基硫脲. 当试剂与底物的取代基之间能够形成分子间氢键时, 则生成α-边外取代环十二酮肟或缩氨基硫脲.     

Carbene-catalyzed enantioselective annulation of dinucleophilic hydrazones and bromoenals for access to aryl-dihydropyridazinones and related drugs

4,5-Dihydropyridazinones bearing an aryl substituent at the C6-position are important motifs in drug molecules. Herein, we developed an efficient protocol to access aryl-dihydropyridazinone molecules via carbene-catalyzed asymmetric annulation between dinucleophilic arylidene hydrazones and bromoenals. Key steps in this reaction include polarity-inversion of aryl aldehyde-derived hydrazones followed by chemo-selective reaction with enal-derived α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium intermediates. The aryl-dihydropyridazinone products accessed by our protocol can be readily transformed into drugs and bioactive molecules.

Polarity inversion of arylidene hydrazones to react with bromoenals via carbene organic catalysis is disclosed. The reaction enantioselectively affords 6-aryl-4,5-dihydropyridazinones and related drugs with proven commercial applications.     

Synthesis and antitumor activity of camptothecin- 4β-triazolopodophyllotoxin conjugates

Abstract

Two new compounds (9 and 10) having a camptothecin (CPT) analog conjugated to the 4β-azido-4-deoxypodophyllotixin analog by untilizing the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditon (CuAAC) reaction, and were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against a panel of five human cancer cell lines (HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7 and SW480) using the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiahiazo-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Two novel conjugates shown weak cytotoxicity, compound 10 showed highly potent against HL-60 cell line tested, with IC₅₀ value 17.69?±?0.19?μM. This compound suggested its potential as anticancer agents for further development.

     

Preparation of the four stereoisomers of 3-bromo-2-butanol or their acetates via lipase-catalysed resolutions of the racemates derived from dl- or meso-2,3-butanediol

The four stereoisomeric 3-bromo-2-butanols and/or their acetates were prepared via lipase-catalysed kinetic resolution by hydrolyses of the acetates of the (±)-syn- and (±)-anti-3-bromo-2-butanols, or via esterifications of the alcohols. The diastereomeric bromoacetates were obtained by syntheses from the dl- and meso-2,3-butanediols, respectively. On a preparative scale, the four stereoisomers, either as the free alcohols or as their acetates, were obtained in >95% ee, and in 35–40% yield (based on the starting racemates).     

Metathesis of renewable unsaturated fatty acid esters catalysed by a phoban-indenylidene ruthenium catalyst

The phoban-indenylidene complex is a robust catalyst for self-metathesis and ethenolysis reactions of methyl oleate. The phoban-indenylidene catalyst was characterized by X-ray analysis, NMR and microanalysis and was used in various self-metathesis and ethenolysis of methyl oleate, giving rise to significantly higher end of run conversions compared to Grubbs 1st generation catalyst. These complexes are more stable and active than commercial Grubbs 1st generation catalyst, can be accessed from simple precursors and should give rise to more economical metathesis processes.     

General constructions of biquandles and their symmetries

Biquandles are algebraic objects with two binary operations whose axioms encode the generalized Reidemeister moves for virtual knots and links. These objects also provide set theoretic solutions of the well-known Yang-Baxter equation. The first half of this paper proposes some natural constructions of biquandles from groups and from their simpler counterparts, namely, quandles. We completely determine all words in the free group on two generators that give rise to (bi)quandle structures on all groups. We give some novel constructions of biquandles on unions and products of quandles, including what we refer as the holomorph biquandle of a quandle. These constructions give a wealth of solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. We also show that for nice quandle coverings a biquandle structure on the base can be lifted to a biquandle structure on the covering. In the second half of the paper, we determine automorphism groups of these biquandles in terms of associated quandles showing elegant relationships between the symmetries of the underlying structures.     

Weak Graph Map Homotopy and Its Applications∗

The authors introduce a notion of a weak graph map homotopy (they call it M-homotopy), discuss its properties and applications. They prove that the weak graph map homotopy equivalence between graphs coincides with the graph homotopy equivalence defined by Yau et al in 2001. The difference between them is that the weak graph map homotopy transformation is defined in terms of maps, while the graph homotopy transformation is defined by means of combinatorial operations. They discuss its advantages over the graph homotopy transformation. As its applications, they investigate the mapping class group of a graph and the 1-order MP-homotopy group of a pointed simple graph. Moreover, they show that the 1-order MP-homotopy group of a pointed simple graph is invariant up to the weak graph map homotopy equivalence.
