First Total Synthesis of 5_α-Hydroxy-isopterocarpolone

Sesquiterpenic compounds of the Eudesmane family have attracted considerable attention due to their intriguing biological properties1,2, particularly significant antifeedant activity, cell growth inhibitory and plant growth regulating activities.In 1996, J. Hu and co-workers3 had isolated eudesmane sesquiterpene 5?-hydroxy-isopterocarpolone 1 from the aerial parts of chinese folk medicine Artemisia eriopoda and elucidated its structure by spectropic methods. Herein, we reported the first tota…     

Cosolvent Effect on the Tautomerism of Ethyl Acetoacetate in Supercritical CO_2

There are some unique advantages for chemical reactions in SCFs. For example, reaction rates, yields, and selectivity can be tuned by pressure or small amount of cosolvent. SCFs can be used to replace environmentally undesirable solvents. It is not surprised that in recent years the use of SCFs as solvents for chemical reaction media has received much attention. However, mechanism for the effect of pressure and cosolvents on chemical reactions is not very clear. Tautomeric reactions are id…     

Synthesis of Novel Chiral Diol Ligands for the Enantioselective Reactions

The chiral diols ((,(,((,((-Tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanols) have been used for the formation of cyclic titanates and similar derivatives of Mg, Al and Zr. These complexes of oxophilic metal centers were employed in catalytic and stiochiometric enantioselective reactions such as enantioselective addition reactions of carbon-centered nucleophiles to aldehydes1, [2+2] cycloadditions2, and Diels-Alder reactions3. So far, the two hydrogen atoms of all this type of diols are in trans form…     

Mono-Allylation of Gem-Diacetates with Allylsamarium Bromide

Our group have explored the reaction of allylsamarium bromide with a variety of substrates, such as N-(2-aminoalkyl)benzotriazoles1, imines2, nitriles3, diorgano diselenides4, disulfides5, isocyanates6 and nitroalkenes7. Here we wish to report the monoallylation of gem-diacetates with allylsamarium bromide. Gem-diacetates are stable in neutral and basic media, thus they are frequently used to protect aldehydes8. However, the presence of two leaving groups at the same carbon may make carbon …     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,2,4,6-Tetraphenyl-2-hydroxy-8-azabicycle[3,2,1]octane

1 INTRODUCTIONAtrope alkaloids, which exist in eggplant plants, such as atrope and scopolamine, are used as a series of important drugs in medical science [1,2]. The typical character of atrope alkaloid is that these compounds contain the main skeleton of 8-azabicycle[3,2,1]octane , which results in the very complicated synthetic routine[3]. During our research for the reaction of 1,3,5,7-tetraphenyl-4- nitro-1,7-heptadione with low-valent titanium reagent, we easily synthesized the title …     

Two New Compounds from Goniothalamus Cheliensis Hu

Goniothalamus cheliensis Hu (Annonaceace) is a small tree or shrub in Yunnan Province, southwest of China. Acetogenins, styryllactones and alkaloids1-3 from the genus were reported in the previous literature and many of them showed strong cytotoxic activities against a number of human cancer cell lines4. The titled plant has been the subject of our investigation due to the impressive cytotoxicity of its organic extract against mouse lymphocytic leukemia cells in preliminary pharmacological s…     

准同心广义经纬相机的成像模型及高精度标定

对于大尺度运动目标的参数测量,固定相机存在着视场与空间分辨率之间的矛盾,并且当测量空中或海上目标时相机的标定也十分困难。跟踪式相机(如光电经纬仪)能解决此问题,但存在体积大、成本高和操作复杂等缺点。结合两者特点取长补短,将相机固定在二维旋转平台上,尽可能实现同心放置,组成准同心广义经纬相机进行中远场高精度测量,测量过程中转台实时跟踪目标并为相机提供外参数。此方法并没有光电经纬仪非常严格的同心同轴的安装要求。在合理假设基础上建立了经纬相机成像模型,提出了线性求解及平差优化相机参数的方法。大量仿真与实际测量验证了模型和标定方法的正确性和高精度。广义经纬相机测量系统组合巧妙、装拆和操作简单、体积小、成本低、可全视场测量且测量精度高,有广泛且重要的应用前景。

Site-specifically Hydrolytic Cleavage of Oxidized Insulin B Chain With Cu(II) Ion

Selectively chemical cleavage of peptides and proteins is one of the most important reactions in both chemical and biochemical processes. Over the past decade, the interaction of palladium(II) complexes with methionine, cysteine and histidine-containing peptides and proteins and the hydrolytic cleavage of the corresponding amide bond by Pd(II) complexes have been extensively studied1-13. However, reports concerning the directly selective hydrolysis of peptides and proteins with other simple …     

A New ent-Kaurane Diterpenoid from Isodon enanderianus

Isodon enanderianus (Hand. -Mazz.) H. W. Li, has been used in folk medicine as anti-inflammatory and detoxified agent1. The Isodon genus is known to be rich in ent-kaurane diterpenoids, a series of new ent-kaurane diterpenoids have been isolated from the dried leaves of I. enanderianus2-4. In order to find more biologically active substances, we have carefully investigated the chemical constituents of I. enanderianus collected in Shiping county of Yunnan province, and as a result, enanderi…
