Stereoselective synthesis of cis-p-menth-8-ene-1,7-diol, cis-p-menthane-1,7-diol, and cis-p-menthane-1,7,8-triol

The natural products cis-p-menthane-1,7-diol (cis-IV), cis-p-menth-8-ene-1,7-diol (cis-I) and cis-p-menthane-1,7,8-triol (cis-II) are obtained starting from the corresponding cis-cyanohydrins, cis-2 and cis-7, respectively, by chemical transformation of the cyano into the hydroxymethyl group. The key step of the synthesis is the very high cis-selectivity (> or = 96 %) of the MeHNL-catalyzed HCN addition to 4-alkylcyclohexanones. From 4-isopropylcyclohexanone (1) the cyanohydrin cis-2 and from 4-(1-methylvinyl)cyclohexanone (6) the cyanohydrin cis-7 result almost quantitatively. Regioselective hydroxylation of cis-I affords the triol cis-II. X-ray crystal structure determinations of the final products confirm their cis-configuration.     

无相移滤波技术用于分析化学信号处理

把无相移滤波技术引入了分析化学信号处理领域。其方法为：先将输入序列按顺序滤波，然后将所得结果逆转后反向通过滤波器，再将所得结果逆转后输出。通过对色谱信号的实验研究表明，与普通的数字滤波方法相比较，无相移滤波不但具有普通数字滤波的优点，而且不会产生滤波前后的相位偏移，具有良好的应用前景，尤其对于需要准确计算保留时间的场合，用此预处理方法非常适合。     

Simultaneous isolation and determination of esculin and rutin in natural materials using SPE and HPLC

Summary Esculin (ESC) and rutin (RUT) have been simultaneously isolated from pharmaceutical natural materials by solid phase extraction (SPE). Determination of both substances was performed by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RPHPLC) with UV detection. Optimization of the separation conditions showed that simultaneous isolation and determination of rutin and esculin from pharmaceutical material was possible. The recovery obtained was not lower than 95±2%.     

Homolytic Cyclizations of N-Chloroalkenylamines

Many N-chloroalkylamines with double bond(s) dissociate homolytically to give chlorine atoms and aminyl radicals which undergo intramolecular cyclization reactions. Here, the nature of the aminyl radicals (neutral, protonated, or complexed to metal salts) appears to be important. The reactivity varies strongly from one species to another, and their selectivities can be different towards addition, substitution, abstraction, or dimerization reactions. A good synthetic tool appears to be the “complexed radical”, which is generated under mild conditions. A variety of β-functionalized, substituted, fused, or bridged azaheterocycles with alkaloid part structures thus become easily accessible in high yields, in a regio- and, possibly, stereoselective manner. Many examples are discussed illustrating the synthetic possibilities, limitations, and mechanistic features of this cyclization process.     

LC-MS/MS method for the confirmatory determination of aromatic amines and its application in textile analysis

A confirmation method for the determination of 18 aromatic amines originating from azo dyes after reductive cleavage was developed. The method is based on the use of high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry with atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization. For the identification of the analytes one precursor ion and two daughter ions (multi-reaction monitoring, MRM) were selected and the LC-MS/MS parameters optimized to obtain high sensitivity and selectivity. The linear ranges varied from 0.1–1 to 30–50 g mL^–1 with correlation coefficients of 0.99 or better. The applicability of the method to determine o-tolidine (3,3-dimethylbenzidine) and 3,3-dimethoxybenzidine in textiles following reductive cleavage of acid red 114, trypan blue, and Chicago sky blue 6B was demonstrated.     

Process study of thermal plasma chemical vapor deposition of diamond,part II: Pressure dependence and effect of substrate pretreatment

The effect of pressure during thermal plasma chemical vapor deposition of diamond films has been investigated for a pressure range from 100 to 760 Torr. The maximum growth rate in our experiments occurs at 270 Torr for substrate temperatures around 1000°C. The existence of an optimum pressure for diamond deposition may he related to the balance between generation and recombination of atomic hydrogen and carbon-containing active species in front of the substrate. To estimate the concentrations of atomic hydrogen and methyl radicals under thermal plasma conditions, calculations based on thermodynamic equilibrium have been performed. This approximate evaluation provides useful guidelines because rapid diffusion results in a near frozen chemistry within the boundary layer. The effect of substrate pretreatment on diamond deposition depends on the type of substrate used. Two growth modes have been observed-layer growth and island growth of diamond crystals on various substrates. Screw dislocations have been observed in diamond deposition in thermal plasmas, and defects such as secondary nucleations are more concentrated along (III) directions than along (100) directions.
