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 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…     

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 …     

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 …     

H-Bonding Self-assembled Template-directed Synthesis of a Reactive Amide-bridged Ladder Polyvinylsiloxane

Ladder polysiloxanes (LPS) including both oxygen-bridged ladder polysilsesquioxanes (LPSQ) and organo-bridged ladder polysiloxanes (OLPS) are very important materials because of their excellent properties1. Adrianov et al. in 1960 attempted to prepare 1, …     

Novel preparation of NaA/carbon nanocomposite thin films with high permeance for CO2/CH4 separation

Novel NaA/carbon nanocomposite thin films were successfully prepared on a porous a-Al2O3 substrate by incorporatingnanosized NaA zeolite into novolak-type phenolic resin.The prepared films were characterized by XRD,SEM and single gaspermeation tests.The NaA zeolite/carbon nanocomposite thin films exhibited that the ideal separation factor of CO2/CH4 was 28.4and the carbon dioxide flux was 3.39*10-7mol/(Pa m2s)at room temperature and under a pressure difference of 100 kPa,whichwas two orders of magnitude higher than that of pure carbon membrane prepared at the same procedures and conditions as those ofcomposite films.From the SEM images,the films were continuous and highly intergrown.Compared with carbon membranes,thethickness of nanocomposite films was drastically decreased,which was helpful to reduce the diffusion resistance and increase theflux of gas permeance.     

Capillary electrophoresis with direct chemiluminescence detection for the analysis of catecholamines in human urine

A rapid and sensitive method for the analysis of three catecholamines by capillary electrophoresis(CE)with directchemiluminescence(CL)detection is described.The detection limits(S/N=3)were 1.3*10-8g/mL for isoprenaline,1.0*10-8g/mL for epinephrine and 2.8*10-8g/mL for dopamine.The proposed method was successfully applied to theanalysis of catecholamines in urine samples of cigarette smokers and nonsmokers.The results showed that there is a close relationbetween the release of dopamine in human body fluids and cigarette smoking/nonsmoking.     

Synthesis and characterization of insulin-5-Fu conjugate,enabling insulin as multi-drug carrier via dendritic approach

To enable insulin as multi-drug carrier, we designed and synthesized dendritic linker molecule bearing three 5-Fluorouracil residues at the branch ends. The new conjugate showed excellent water solubility. The stabilities under different conditions were investigated. The results showed that the conjugate was a potential prodrug to release free 5-Fu.     

Synthesis, Characterization, Spectroscopic Properties of 2-（4-Dimethylaminophenyl）-5-fluoro-6-（morpholin-4-yl）-1H-benzimidazole and its Interaction with Calf Thymus DNA

Benzimidazole compounds have attracted a renewed interest recently owing to theirpotential applications in high-performance composite materials, electronic chemicals,photosensitive materials, and their special potentials in biological and/or medicinalapplication1,2. Typically, aromatic compounds with near planar structures and contain-ing hydrogen-donor groups or groups, which are capable of being protonated, havespecial interactions with DNA via intercalation, hydrogen-bonding, and so on3.Me…
