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-Parameter Stochastic Resonance in a Model of Electrodissolution of Fe in H_2SO_4

IntroductionStochastic resonance (SR) is a nonlinear effect which describes the optimal detection of a weak periodic signal by the action of external noise in nonlinear systems. SR was originally proposed to account for periodicity in the Earth's ice ages1, and it has been observed in a wide range of biological2-4 , physical5 and chemical6 systems. The systems mentioned above which may give rise to SR have a denominator despite many examples of SR in different scientific areas. It is noted…     

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…     

Crystal and Molecular Structure of N-(1-Ethoxycarbonyl- ethyl)1-Ethoxycarbonylmethyl-3-ethyl-1,2,3,4- tetrahydro-4-oxo-1,3,2-benzodiazaphosphorin- 2-carboxamide 2-Oxide

1 INTRODUCTIONOrganophosphorus compounds are ubiquitous in nature and they have broad applications in the fields of agriculture and medicine. During the past two decades, (-ketophosphonates and their derivatives have attracted considerable attention because these compounds are endowed with special physical, chemical and pharmacological properties due to the proximity of the carbonyl and the phosphoryl groups[1～6]. For example, it is well known that phosphonoformic acid (PFA) is effectiv…     

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…

Two New Steroidal Saponins from Diuranthera inarticulata

There are only three species in the genus Diuranthera (Liliaceae), which is endemic in the southwest of China1. Four steroidal saponins, diuranthosides A-C and chloromalo-side A were isolated from the fresh roots of D. major. This paper deals with the structure elucidation of two new steroidal saponins, diuranthosides D and E, which were isolated from the methanolic extract of whole plant of D. inarticulata Wang et K. Y. Lang.Diuranthoside D (1), [(]-38 (c 0.08, pyridine), afforded galac…     

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…     

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…
