Reaction of aminoquinolines with unsaturated carboxylic acids. 2. Cyclization of N-quinolyl-β-alanines

The cyclization of N-(3-quinolyl)- and N-(6-quinolyl)--alanines was carried out to give uncondensed hexahydropyrimidine derivatives, while the cyclization of N-(5-quinolyl)- and N-(8-quinolyl)--alanines gave tetrahydrophenanthrolinone derivatives.Communication 1, see ref.

Structural Studies on Host + Guest Recognition Sensory Systems

Rhodamine B-ethylenediamine--cyclodextrins (RhB--CDen) and rhodamine B--cyclodextrins (RhB--CD) can form inclusive complexes with many guest molecules, a reaction which can be used as a nucleic acid probe. In this paper, the most stable conformations of RhB--CDen and RhB--CD have been determined by fluorescence experiments and analyzed by molecular modeling simulation. The interaction between RhB--CDen and two guest molecules, 1-borneol and cyclohexanol, has also been investigated. The results showed that RhB--CDen has a stronger interaction with 1-borneol than with cyclohexanol. Borneol could push the three aromatic-rings of rhodamine B out of the CD cavity, while the cyclohexanol could not. The interactive sites of host and guest are also presented.     

The Comparison of the Orientation of Sodium 3-Hydroxy-2-Naphthalenecarboxylate in the Cavity of β-Cyclodextrin and Heptakis-(2,3,6-Tri-O-Methyl)-β-Cyclodextrin

Conformational analysis of inclusion complexes of sodium 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylate with -cyclodextrin and heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-o-methyl)--cyclodextrin in D₂O was investigated by 1D and 2D ¹HNMR measurements. The results show that part of the naphthyl group of sodium 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylate is situated in the 2,3-OH side of the -cyclodextrin cavity asymmetrically while the whole naphthyl group is included in the heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-o-methyl)--cyclodextrin cavity with the caboxylate and hydroxy group close to the 6-OCH₃ group.     

Organomineral sorbents based on clinoptilolite-containing tuffs

The anion-exchange properties of a new organomineral sorbent obtained by modification of clinoptilolite-containing tuffs by polyhexamethyleneguanidine have been studied after different periods of storage (time after synthesis) and numbers of sorption-regeneration cycles. The sorbent can be used as a cation- and an anion-exchanger simultaneously. Selectivity coefficients (exchange constants) for F^–, SO₄ ^2–, and HPO₄ ^2– ionsvs. Cl^– ions on modified clinoptilolite-containing tuffs have been determined. The modification improves the mechanical properties of clinoptilolite tuffs.For part 1, see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

MCM-41分子筛负载钼钴系催化剂的噻吩HDS研究

通过氧吸附量、噻吩吸附热及反应速率常数的测定，研究了MoO3/MCM-41、MoO3-CoO(NiO)/MCM-41系列催化剂，发现，对于MoO3/MCM-41催化剂，当MoO3的质量分数（以MCM－41为底数，即MCM－41＝1g时，MoO3含量为0．15g，下同）从15％增加到20％时，其噻吩的加氢硫（HDS）活性增大，至25％时活性下降，所对应的氧吸附量（mL/g催化剂）也是先增大后减少，并且两者有很好的线性对应关系，而且噻吩吸附热则基本保持不变，采用不同的MoO3-CoO(NiO)浸渍顺序制备的MoO3-CoO(NiO)/MCM-41催化剂中，先浸渍CoO(NiO）再浸渍MoO3的催化剂，其噻吩HDS活性明显优于对其它浸渍顺序制备的催化剂，同时催化剂的氧吸附量和噻吩吸附热也最大。     

Triterpene glycosides ofFatsia japonica. I. Isolation and structure of glycosides fromFatsia japonica seeds

The known triterpene glycosides hederagenin 3-O--L-arabinopyranoside, hederagenin 3-O-\-D-glucopyranoside, oleanolic acid 3-O--sophoroside, hederagenin 3-O--sophoroside, and their 28-O--gentiobiosyl esters, respectively, in addition to the new triterpene glycoside 3-O--sophorosyl-28-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)-O--gentiobiosyl hederagenin are isolated fromFatsia japonica (Araliaceae) seeds. The structures of these glycosides are established using chemical and spectral methods.Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 131–133, March–April, 2000.     

C→N Migrations of the ethoxycarbonyl group in reactions of ortho-substituted aryl isocyanates with the 1,3-zwitterion derived from triisopropylphosphine and ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate

The reactions of meta—para-substituted aryl isocyanates with phosphorus-containing 1,3-zwitterions, which proceed with the CN migration of the CO₂Et group to form the corresponding carbamates, were extended to ortho-substituted aryl isocyanates. The influence of the steric and electronic effects of the ortho substituents in the aromatic rings of aryl isocyanates on the ease of this rearrangement is qualitatively considered.     

Synthesis and thermal decomposition of 3-aroyl-4-aryl-2-pyrazolines

Summary 3-Aroyl-4-aryl-2-pyrazolines (21–40) have been synthesized by the reaction of ,-unsaturated ketones (1–20) with diazomethane. These 2-pyrazolines gave -methyl-,-unsaturated ketones (41–46) on thermal denitrogenation.Dedicated to Prof. Dr.F. Sauter on the occasion of his 65^th birthday     

Mixed strategy solutions forN-person quadratic games

Mixed strategy -equilibrium points are given forN-person games with cost functions consisting of quadratic, bilinear, and linear terms and strategy spaces consisting of closed balls in Hilbert spaces. The results are applied to linear-quadratic differential games with no information and quadratic integral constraints on the control functions.This work was supported by a Commonwealth of Australia, Postgraduate Research Award.
