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. The mo…     

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…     

Dendritic Macroinitiator for the Ring—Opening Polymerization of γ—Benzyl L—Glutamate N—Carboxyanhydride

Much effort has been dedicated to the molecular design and synthesis of model proteins to define protein folding interactions and to develop protein-based materials. Among them, the ring-opening polymerization of -amino acid-N-carboxyanhy- drides (NCAs) has drawn much attention because the resulting artificial polypeptides have wide applications in biotechnology, biomineralization and diagnostics1, 2. It is well known that dendrimers are hyperbranched macromolecules possessing a very high co…     

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…     

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)…     

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.     

Benzylation of Aromatic Compounds with Benzyl Chloride Catalyzed by Nafion/SiO_2 Nanocomposite Catalyst

Diphenylmethane and substituted diphenylmethane are important compounds forsynthesis chemistry as well as industrial chemistry. These compounds are easilysynthesized by the benzylation of aromatic compounds with benzyl chloride or benzylalcohol catalyzed by homogeneous acid catalysts, such as AlCl3, FeCl3, H2SO4, HF andBF3. However, these catalytic systems are highly corrosive, and usually proceed withlow selectivity. In addition, they are less satisfactory from the environmen…     

甲基矽烷的氣相氯化

作者将下列两类矽烷以及两种氯代异丁烷进行气相(光照)氯化,找出二氯取代的产物,其两个氯原子的相互位置和原来矽烷裹有无矽氯键有很大关系。 (CH_3)_nSiCl_(4-n) (CH_3)_mSi(CH_2Cl)Cl_(3-m) n=2,3,4 m=1,2,3 在没有矽氯键的矽烷,两个氯原子取代在不同甲基上的产物比较取代在同一甲基上的为多,这和碳化氢的取代相同。在具有矽氯键的矽烷,二个氯原子取代在同一甲基上的产物比较取代在不同甲基上的为多,这和碳化氢的取代不同。作者认为矽氯键之所以有这种影响是因为它一方面阻尼α-位甲基氯化,另一方面还促进α-位氯甲基的继续氯化。     

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…
