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…     

New conversion of Friendlnder reaction of 3-amino-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitriles with cyclohexanone

Two different skeletons of heterocyclic compounds,quinoline and quinazolinone analogs could be obtained by a novel one-pot synthesis from substituted 3-amino-1 H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitrile derivatives and cyclohexanone in DMF in the catalyst of anhydrous zinc chloride under reflux.A plausible mechanism was proposed.     

由光学表面上吸附分子的二次谐波研究DASPI和PIC分子的取向

利用波长λ=1.06μm的线偏振激光光束,作用到熔石英或玻璃光学表面的DASPI[2-(p-dimethyl-aminostryryl)-pyridyethyliodide]和PIC(N,N＇-diethyl-pseudoisccyanine chloride)吸附分子膜上,在一定条件下可观察到二次谐波的产生.通过调整基波激光的线偏振方向和旋转样品基板,实验上我们确定这两种分子的轴线(偶极矩)取向与基板表面相垂直.在溶液中,激光染料分子或其它有机分子轴线是随机取向的.但如果分子被吸附在光学或金属表面上时,由于存在着范德瓦尔斯力,氢键和金属离子在羧基间的束缚力,使被吸附的分子在基板表面上有序的按一定的取向排列.对分子膜结构的研究目前已相当广泛.一般实验上采用X射线和电子衍射法研究分子的排列方式、间隔和轴向电子密度,而利用红外光谱和电子顺磁共振方法给出吸附分子的取向及原子间相互位置等参数.我们利用激光在吸附分子膜层上引起的二次谐波,给出染料DASPI分子和有机PIC分子的轴线(偶极矩方向)在熔石英和K_9玻璃基板表面上的取向.     

Hybrid Composite of Polyaniline Containing Carbon Nanotube

Among various conducting polymers, polyaniline (PANI) is a unique and promising candidate for practical applications because it is not only highly stable in air and in some solvents, but also exhibits dramatic changes in its electronic structure and physical properties in protoactivate state1,2,3. The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been proven to possess exotic properties, such as high mechanical strength, flexibility and electric conductivity. The study of carbon-based nanostructures and ma…     

One-Pot Synthesis of N-Boc-2, 5-bis(trimethylsilyl)pyrrolidine

Since Daly reported the structure of epibatidine and its potent analgesic activity in 19921, study on the synthesis of epibatidine and its derivatives and relationships between the structure and activity of epibatidine has received much attention2. During the course of our research for the synthesis of epibatidine derivatives, N-boc-2, 5-bis(trimethylsilyl)pyrrolidine 4 was used as the key intermediate to construct the skeleton of epibatidine via the 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition (Scheme 1). Ac…     

Ni-B/TiO_2 Amorphous Catalyst Used in Heavy Arenes of Petrochemicals Hydrogenation

The various distillation of petroleum contains arenes. For environmental protection, the hydrogenation of arenes becomes important. The amorphous alloy is a new class of material with special catalytic properties for reduction arenes1-4. In this paper, we prepared the Ni-B/TiO2 and Ni-B/Al2O3 amorphous catalysts by impregnation and reduction by KBH4 solution. Their catalytic activities for hydrogenation arenes were tested by the hydrogenation of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (TMB) in the co…     

Molecular Arrangement of a Bolaamphiphilic Anthrancene Derivative in Langmuir-Blodgett Film

Langmuir monolayer at the air/water interface is the basis to understand the molecular arrangement and to fabricate the organized molecular films1. Bolaamphiphiles describes the molecules in which two head functional groups are linked by one or two hydrophobic chains2,3. In comparison with the one-headed amphiphile, abundant configurations of Langmuir monolayer are expected in bolaamphiphiles. Generally, three kinds of configurations of the Langmuir monolayers of bolaamphiphile at the air/w…     

Studies on the Interactions between Potassium oxalato-oxodiperoxovanadate and Histidine by NMR and MS

K3[VO(O2)2(C2O4)]2H2O, (abbr. BpV (ox)) pertains to peroxovanadium (abbr. pV) complexes, which have been attracted considerable attention nowadays, since they are inhibitors of tyrosine phosphatase and may be developed into a new kind of drugs for the treatment of diabetes1. According to the evidence on water-biperoxovanadium, the molecular mechanism of insulin-like effects of pV involves in irreversibly oxidizing the catalytic cysteine at the active site of the target enzyme2,3.
