Basic Functionalization of Hexagonal Mesoporous Silica

Recently, a novel method of modification, i.e., functionalizing the internal surface of mesoporous materials has been reported1-5, owing to the large pore size, the silanol groups, which are in a big population in mesoporous materials, can chemically couple with the active groups of some bulky organic functional molecules. Based on this approach, one can obtain novel solid basic catalysts. Here we functionalized the hexagonal and hexagonal-like mesoporous silica materials SBA-3 and HMS wi…     

Polybinaphthyls of (R)-3,3′-Diiodo-2,2′-binaphtho-20-crown-6 with p-Divinylbenzene via Heck Cross-coupling Reaction

IntroductionFunctional polymers bearing chiral moietiesand the extended conjugatedπ system have attract-ed considerable attention during the pastdecade[1,2 ] .The enantiodifferation properties ofsuch macromolecules give rise to multiple applica-tions in the fields of asymmetric catalysis,chiralsensors,polarized light emission and nonlinear op-tical materials[3 ,4] .Especially the incorporation ofoptically active binaphthyls in the main chain ofconjugated polymers can lead to an efficient ands…

Synthesis of Quinolone Analogues: 7-[(2S,4R)-2-Aminomethyl-4- hydroxypyrrolidin-1-yl] Quinolones

Quinolone antibacterial agents have emerged as one of the dominant classes chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of various bacterial infections1. We have focused our attention on the modification of the C-7 basic group of the quinolone which has been most varied. In 1987, Uno et al.2 reported that 3-hydroxypyrrolidine quinolones showed more active antibacterial activities than Norfloxacin in vivo. In 1998, Fujita et al.3 reported that 2-aminomethylpyrrolidine quinolones have the same …     

ESR Approach to the Nature of Solvation by Using s-Butyl n-Heptafluorobutyryl Nitroxide Probe

Because the solvent dependency of aN, g factors and line widths of some bulky and stable di-t-alkyl nitroxides1, ESR has been proved to be a useful tool in searching for the nature of medium effects ( solvation ) to chemical reactivity. A large number of fluorinated nitroxides with a wide variety of structures have been generated and subjected to extensive studies in our laboratory2. Amongst, t-butyl perfluoroalkyl nitroxides, much less hindered, with noβ-H atoms, have been employed as sp…     

Impedance Characterization of Adsorption Process of Calmodulin on Au Substrate and its Combination with Ca~(2+)

Recently, the adsorption behavior of protein on solid substrate has attracted much attention for the reason that adsorption on a substrate is the first key step for other further electrochemical investigation1. Meanwhile the free adsorption could provide a relative well-ordered structure, with which some fundamental study could be carried out conveniently2. As we know, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method has become one of the powerful techniques to detect the change of i…     

Synthesis and Electrochemical Property of Calcium Doped LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 Solid Solution

Today, batteries with high capacity, good cyclability, long life and environmental goodness are much required to meet some pressing demands of our modern society. In principle, lithium ion cells can satisfy these requirements1. But the properties of the cathode materials have limited the further development of the lithium ion cells. The studied cathode materials before were mainly LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, LiNiO2. The LiCoO2 has disadvantages including cost and environmental risk although it is…     

Binding Affinity of Novel Cyclodextrin Dimers to Ethyl Orange

The interaction between ethyl orange (Eto, guest) and β-cyclodextrin dimers (1a～d, host) bridged with 2-t-butoxycarbonyl(Boc)-amino diacid was investigated. A remarkable synergic complexation of two cavities in host molecule was observed.     

Efficient Debromination of Vicinal a, b-Dibromo Carboxylic Acid Derivatives with the Sm/HOAc System

The chemistry of samarium (II) iodide (SmI2) is of current interest in organic synthesis. SmI2 has been developed as a powerful, versatile and ether-soluble single-electron reductant and many examples have been reported of its use in the reduction of various functional groups1. Though SmI2 is a useful reagent, storage is difficult because it is very sensitive to air oxidation. On the other hand, metallic samarium is stable in air and has strong reducing power (Sm3+/Sm=-2.41 V). These pr…
