Studies on the Total Synthesis of Hainanolide (VII) - Analysis of the Relative Stereochemistry of key Intermediate 2

The natural product, hainanolide 1, also under the name harringtonolide2 demonstrated antitumor and antiviral activities in preliminary test. Its structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. The total synthesis of 1 was reported recently by Mander3. A different scheme of its synthesis has been studied in our laboratory4. Here the determination of the stereochemical structure of the key intermediate 2 in the synthesis was reported. HMBC and HMQC spectra identified the skeleton and H,…     

First Total Synthesis of (±)-Aiphanol

Aiphanol was isolated from the seeds of Aiphanes aculeate Willd. (Arecaceae) collected in Peru and was reported to exhibit significant inhibitory activities against cyclooxyge- nases-1 and -2. The structure of aiphanol was elucidated by spectroscopic methods as an unprecedented stilbenolignan skeleton in which a stilbene moiety is linked to a phenylpropane unit through a dioxane bridge1. In our previous works the synthetic approach to 1,4-benzodioxane lignans were achieved2. Since aiphanol…     

Solid-phase Synthesis of-Haloaldehydes from Polymer-supported 4-(Phenylseleno)morpholine

Polymer-supported reagents for organic synthesis are enjoying a renewed popularity with the emergence of combinatorial chemistry in recent years1. 4-(Arylseleno)morpholines formed in situ are useful -seleno-introducing reagents for saturated aldehydes2. -Sele- noaldehydes, as a frequently used intermediates, can be converted into -haloaldehydes by halogenating reaction3. However, organic selenium reagents always have a foul smell and are quite toxic, which is often problematic in organic sy…     

Synthesis of a Polymer-bound Sensitizer and its Application in the Photoisomerization of trans-Vitamin D_3 to cis-Vitamin D_3

The photochemistry of the vitamin D family and their precursors has been the subject of extensive studies for many years1-4. Most of the studies focus on the photoisomer- ization of 7-dehydrocholesterol and that of tachysterol to previtamin D3, which is of commercial importance in the synthesis of vitamin D34, 5. Recently the cis/trans isomerization of vitamin D analogs (Scheme 1) draws attention because of its importance in the synthesis of hydroxylated vitamin D metabolites6. However, o…     

Electrochemical oxidation behavior of hydroxypivalaldehyde in the ionic liquids

The similar electrochemical oxidation behaviors of hydroxypivalaldehyde in ionic liquids （ILs） medium, C4MIMPF6, C4MIMBF4 and CsMIMPF6, are investigated using classic electrochemical methods, respectively. Only the product, hydroxypivalic acid is detected by high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. It can be conferred that the electrochemical oxidation of hydroxypivalaldehyde consists of two successive one-electron irreversible reactions at glass carbon （GC） electrode and the possible reaction mechanism in the ILs is proposed firstly. The diffusion coefficients of hydroxypivalaldehyde are obtained according to the electrochemical characteristics of hydroxypivalaldehyde in C4MIMPF6, C4MIMBF4 and CsMIMPF6.     

Hydrogen peroxide biosensor based on electrodeposition of zinc oxide nanoflowers onto carbon nanotubes film electrode

A new amperometric biosensor for hydrogen peroxide was developed based on adsorption of horseradish peroxidase at the glassy carbon electrode modified with zinc oxide nanoflowers produced by electrodeposition onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes （MWNTs） film. The morphology of the MWNTs/nano-ZnO electrode has been investigated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and the electrochemical performance of the electrode has also been studied by amperometric method. The resulting electrode offered an excellent detection for hydrogen peroxide at -0.11 V with a linear response range of 9.9×10^-7 to 2.9×10^-3 mol/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.991, and response time 〈5 s. The biosensor displays rapid response and expanded linear response range, and excellent stability.     

Pixel-clarity-based multifocus image fusion

Due to the limited depth-of-field of optical lenses, it is difficult to get an image with all objects in focus. One way to overcome this problem is to take several images with different focus points and combine them into a single composite which contains all the regions full focused. This paper describes a pixel-clarity-based multifocus image fusion algorithm. The characteristic of this approach is that the pixels of the fused image are selected from the clearest pixels in the input images according to pixel clarity criteria. For each pixel in the source images, the pixel clarity is calculated. The fusion procedure is performed by a selection mode according to the magnitude of pixel clarity. Consistency verification is performed on the selected pixels. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm works well in multifocus image fusion.

Synthesis,X-Ray Structure and Characterization of a Triruthenium Cluster Complex Ru_3~Ⅲ(μ_3-O)(μ-CH_3COO)_6(py)_2Cl with Four Steps One-electron Redox Processes

Great attention is currently paid to the synthesis of polynuclear transition metal complexes as well as their photochemical, photophysical, and electrochemical properties. The design of multicomponent systems capable of performing useful light- and/or redox-induced function is of special interest1. The oxo-centered carboxylate-bridge trinuclear ruthenium clusters have been investigated extensively during recent decades because they have remarkable electron-transfer properties, intense visibl…
