Structural Features of a Polysaccharide from Centella asiatica

Centella asiatica has been used as remedy for sodation, stabilization and against lepra, anabrosis1 in the oriental countries. The low-molecular-weight constituents in Centella asiatica have been investigated1. However, no polysaccharides have been reported. 1BI was the first polysaccharide isolated from C. asiatica, which had immunostimulating activity in vitro. In present study, we report the structural features of 1BI. Experimental Extraction, isolation and purification Dried C.…     

Thermal decomposition kinetics of titanium hydride and Al alloy melt foaming process

Metal foams, now one of research foci, are a newclass of materials with low densities and novel physi-cal, mechanical, thermal, electrical and acoustic prop-erties[1—8]. Demands from high-tech make Al alloyfoam, which has much higher specific strength than ofpure Al foam, the new development focus[9—11]. Melt foaming process is one of the approaches tofabricate Al foam and Al alloy foam and their porestructure (pore diameter and porosity) has close rela-tionship with the thermal decompo…     

β—环糊精交联聚合物与有机显色剂客体包结反应研究

β－环糊精与环氧氯丙烷交联共聚物是一种具有三维网状结构的聚合树脂，它保留了β－环糊精所原有的与有机疏水基团形成包结物的特性，与一系列含有芳得环的有机显色剂配体（如吡啶偶氮染料，变色酸双偶氮试剂，三苯甲烷类碱性与酸性染料以及杂氧蒽酮类试剂等）均可形成相应的包结配合物，着重研究了有关包结配合物的稳定性及影响稳定性的各种因素，为进一步研究包结物分离富集痕量金属提供必要的理论依据。

Syntheses, Structures and Coordination Behavior of Central Hydroxyl Group Containing Polydentate Ligands

Proteins containing dinuclear Cu (II), Zn (II) centers play paramount roles in biology1. As mimetic of metal-dependent esterase, dinuclear Cu (II) and Zn (II) complexes have received a great deal of attentions2~6. They are of interest in the field of biomimetic chemistry to provide an improved understanding of the function of the biological sites and as potential catalysts for substrate oxidations. Schiff base type polydentate ligands which contain centeral hydroxyl group have been wid…     

First Total Synthesis of (±)-Aiphanol

Aiphanol was isolated from the seeds of Aiphanes aculeate Willd. (Arecaceae) collected in Peru and was reported to exhibit significant inhibitory activities against cyclooxyge- nases-1 and -2. The structure of aiphanol was elucidated by spectroscopic methods as an unprecedented stilbenolignan skeleton in which a stilbene moiety is linked to a phenylpropane unit through a dioxane bridge1. In our previous works the synthetic approach to 1,4-benzodioxane lignans were achieved2. Since aiphanol…     

Studies on the Total Synthesis of Hainanolide (VII) - Analysis of the Relative Stereochemistry of key Intermediate 2

The natural product, hainanolide 1, also under the name harringtonolide2 demonstrated antitumor and antiviral activities in preliminary test. Its structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. The total synthesis of 1 was reported recently by Mander3. A different scheme of its synthesis has been studied in our laboratory4. Here the determination of the stereochemical structure of the key intermediate 2 in the synthesis was reported. HMBC and HMQC spectra identified the skeleton and H,…     

Nanjiols D and E, Two New Uncommon Steroids from the Chinese Soft Coral Nephthea bayeri

Marine organisms have been found to be a storehouse of steroids, particularly in term ofunique side-chain structures and unusual functionalization. Marine steroids are oftenfound in highly oxygenated forms and possessing various biological activities1.Previously, we reported the isolation and structural elucidation of three new marinesteroids, nanjiols A-C, which showed cytotoxicity against HL-60 and BEL 7402 celllines, from a soft coral Nephthea bayeri in East China Sea2. In continuation …     

Polystyrene-supported Benzyl Selenide: An Efficient Reagent for Highly Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Substituted Olefins

Solid-phase methodology has been rapidly and extensively applied to the preparation of small organic molecules recently1. It might be argued that selenoxide syn-elimination provided the principal impetus for the development of organoselenium chemistry. In addition, the required selenoxides are readily available from the oxidation of the corresponding selenides, which in turn can be prepared by the reaction of selenium-stabilized carbanions with various electrophilic substrates2. However, or…     

DiastereoselectiveandEnantioselectiveSynthesisof(1S,2S)-2-Ethyl-1-aminocyclopropaneCarboxylicAcid

During the last decade, 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid and its derivatives (ACCS) have attracted increasing attention of organic and bioorganic chemists due to their outstanding biological properties, ranging from antimicrobial, insecticidal, plant growth and fruit ripening controls, etc.1. Moreover, the three-membered carbocycle provides building blocks of unprecedented synthetic potential because it undergoes selective ring opening, ring enlargement or cycloaddition reactions2. The mo…
