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…     

气相中La催化乙烯脱氢及C-C键耦合的理论研究

采用密度泛函理论中的B3LYP方法研究了气相中过渡金属La在二、四重态势能面上催化C2H4的反应机理。全参数优化了二、四重态势能面上各个驻点的几何构型,同时对过渡态进行了频率分析,使用内禀反应坐标（IRC）方法验证了过渡态的准确性,通过AIM理论和NBO分析方法对主要的驻点进行了键分析,并对2IM1、2IM3进行了态密度分析。结果表明：La与C2H4的反应存在两种可能的路径,反应在二重态势能面上进行且均为放热反应。键分析表明初始复合物中La与C2H4分子之间为共价作用。     

Synthesis and Structure of E-2-(2,4,6-tri tert butylphenylphosphinyl)-2-〔N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-N-(p-chrolophenyl)〕amino-1-(2,4,6-tri tert-butyl-phenyl)phosphacthylene

1　INTRODUCTIONItwaswellknown thatelementsofthesecondary and higherrow are in generaldifficulty to form multiplebondsin which apπ hybridized stateisinvolved〔1〕.Thus,simple compounds containing multiple phosphorus carbon bonds,such as methyl dynephosphine( HC≡P) 〔2 - 3〕 and methylenephosphine( H2 C=PH〔4〕,are notstableat room temperature.Three methods to stabilize compounds containing double ormultiple bond involving phosphorusatom in the pπ hybridized state are often used.The f…     

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…     

Photochemical Reduction of Aromatic Imines by 2-Phenyl-N, N-dimethylbenzimidazoline

Reduction of C=N double bonds has been recognized as an important reaction both in organic chemistry and bio-chemistry1. Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine (HEH, one of NADH model compounds) has been reported as a reductive reagent for imines2. However, application of dihydropyridines as practical reducing reagents in organic synthesis is limited because of their instability3. Like NADH models, 2-phenyl-N, N-dimethylbenzimidazoline (PDMBI) is an efficient electron and hydrogen donor (Eox = 0…     

Retention Behaviors of Uronic Acid-containing Polysaccharides and Neutral Polysaccharides in HPGPC

The determination of molecular weights (Mw) of polysaccharides has served as an important process since the physical properties of the polysaccharides are closely related to their Mw and/or molecular weights distribution (MWD). For Mw and MWD determinations, high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC) has gained wide acceptance as a preferred method due to its high sensitivity, speed and reproducibility. In chromatography, it is well known that the molecular weights are determ…
