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…     

SYNTHESIS AND CATALYTIC PROPERTY OF POLYSTYRENE SUPPORTED PHENYLALANINE SCHIFF BASE COMPLEX OF Mn(Ⅱ) IN AEROBIC OXIDATION OF CYCLOHEXENE

1. INTRODUCTION The partial oxidation of alkenes (forming acids, aldehydes and alcohols) is of considerable interest to the chemical industry. In most cases, more than one oxygenated product is formed from a given starting material and all products are susceptible to complete oxidation to carbon dioxide and water [1]. As mimetic oxygen carrier or oxidation catalyst, metalloporphyrins have been widly studied [2~7]. Among the non-porphyrin systems, the manganese complexes of Schiff base are…     

Chemical Components of Helicia nilagirica Beed.I.Structure of Three New Flavonol Glycosides

Helicia nilagirica Beed. belongs to the plant of Proteaceae family. The seeds of the plant is for treatment of insomnia and neurasthenia in Jingpo nationality in Yunnan Province1. Helicid and helicidol were isolated from the seeds of the plant2,3, and the helicid was recorded in the Yunnan Pharmacopoea at the 1987 edition. The chemical constituents of the leaves of this plant has not been reported yet in the literature. This paper is concerning the study of the chemical component of the…     

Spherical foam growth in Al alloy melt

The ultra light metal structure, realizing the light-ness and multifunction of structural material, has a bright future in high-tech and civil fields and is be-coming one of the hotspots in developed countries in 21 century[1―8]. Preparing Al foam by mel…     

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.     

Rayleigh and Hyper-Rayleigh Scatterings from the Nanometer SnO_2 Particle in Solution

Nano-materials have been extensively studied in the past[1]. The quantum effect makes the properties of nano-materials dif- ferent from that of bulk materials. A few of publications regard- ing the catalysis, electronic structure, and optics of the nanome…

Flow Injection Analysis of Histidine with Enhanced Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence of Luminol

Histidine is one of the necessary basic amino acids in biological bases, which often controls the catalytic activity of enzymes and acts in holding the higher structure of proteins. Furthermore, it is also an important ingredient in pharmaceutical preparations used for treatment of hetpatosis and nephropathy. Therefore, the determination of histidine in biological fluids and pharmaceutical preparations is of great importance. Various methods have been proposed for the detection of histidine …
