Nanjiols D and E, Two New Uncommon Steroids from the Chinese Soft Coral Nephthea bayeri

Marine organisms have been found to be a storehouse of steroids, particularly in term ofunique side-chain structures and unusual functionalization. Marine steroids are oftenfound in highly oxygenated forms and possessing various biological activities1.Previously, we reported the isolation and structural elucidation of three new marinesteroids, nanjiols A-C, which showed cytotoxicity against HL-60 and BEL 7402 celllines, from a soft coral Nephthea bayeri in East China Sea2.

A Novel Organic—Inorganic Complex：Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Ca（DMSO）5（H2O）]2 SiMo12O40

It is becoming a focus to synthesize and assemble organic-inorganic materials, especially, to synthesize charge-transfer complexes formed by polyoxometalate and organic donors. They have attracted much attention because such complexes are active in their electric, magnetic and optic properties1-4, many investigations about them have been done and some crystal structures of them were reported5-6. But, the disadvantage of these crystals is instability at room temperature. According to the view…     

Indium (III) Tribromide : An Excellent Catalyst for Biginelli Reaction

A highly efficient catalyst indium (III) tribromide is used to synthesize 5-alkoxy- carbonyl-4-hydrocarbyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones by a three-component coupling of β-keto ester, aldehydes and urea through improved Biginelli reaction.     

A New Convenient Method for the Resolution of 1, 1''''-Binaphthalene-2, 2''''-diol Via a Phosphite Using (-)-Menthol as Resolving Agent

Optically active 1,1-binaphthalene-2, 2-diol has become a quite important chiral source in different fields of chirotechnology, especially in asymmetric synthesis1. Its synthesis and resolution has been extensively studied and various resolution methods have been reported2. Among the reported resolution methods, the following three, namely, via the formation of phosphoric acid derivatives3, boric acid derivatives4 and inclusion complexes5, are the most important. OHOH+_( )-1(-)-(S)-1(+)-(R)…     

Determination of Partial Molar Volumes of EPA and DHA Ethyl Esters in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

The use of supercritical fluids (SCFs) as solvents has been attracting widespread interest in the research and commercial applications. The study of partial molar volumes of solutes at infinite dilution in the near-critical region is of considerable fundamental importance, as these data reflects the interactions occurring between the solute and the solvent. Experimental measurements of partial molar volumes may be divided into two categories: direct and indirect methods. The direct methods…     

Spacial Structure of Cationic Phosphorus Ligand–Ru (II) Halide Complexes—by DFT Study

The increasing demand to produce enantio-pure pharmaceuticals, flavors, and other fine chemicals has advanced the field of asymmetry catalytic technologies. Among all asymmetry catalytic methods, catalytic enantioselective hydrogenation of unsaturated bonds such as olefins, ketones, and imines, which employs dihydrogen and small amounts of transition-metal complexes modified intrinsically by chiral ligands, is now recognized as being the most promising strategy for the synthesis of large amount…     

The Purification of Glucose Type Glycosyl Nitrate and the Synthesis of Spacer—armed N—Acetyllactosamines and Their Dimers

Our previous paper1,2reported the results of selective synthesis of mannose type glycosides and their dimers in our attempt to synthesize derivatives of N-acetyllacto- samine, which could have potential activity of anti-metastasis3. Further studies on the glycosylation of the accepters exploiting glycosyl nitrate instead of the acetate as donor showed interesting chemoselectivity between the two kinds of donor, namely, the glucose type and the mannose type. The reactivity difference of the t…     

Dioxygen Affinities and Catalytic Oxidation Performance of Cobalt (II)Complexes with N-Aryl Hydroxamic Acid

It is well known that the study on biomimetic oxygen carriers not only has important theoretic significance to discover the mechanism of reversible bonding, activating oxygen as well as the oxidation reaction in organism, but also has potential application in separating oxygen from air and realizing the high efficiency and selectivity of catalytic oxidation reaction under a mild condition1. Metal- porphyrin and metal- phthalol- gaunine have been extensively used as biomimetic oxygen carriers u…     

DiastereoselectiveandEnantioselectiveSynthesisof(1S,2S)-2-Ethyl-1-aminocyclopropaneCarboxylicAcid

During the last decade, 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid and its derivatives (ACCS) have attracted increasing attention of organic and bioorganic chemists due to their outstanding biological properties, ranging from antimicrobial, insecticidal, plant growth and fruit ripening controls, etc.1. Moreover, the three-membered carbocycle provides building blocks of unprecedented synthetic potential because it undergoes selective ring opening, ring enlargement or cycloaddition reactions2.
