Determination of iron at ng/ml level by solid phase spectrophotometry after preconcentration on cation exchange filters

A cationic exchanger paper is used to retain analytes in solution and, after drying, to analyze directly by measuring the UV-Vis absorbance of the paper. The method was applied to determination of iron using its known 1,10-phenanthroline complex. Using 100 ml of sample the applicable concentration range was between 1.0 and 10.0 ng/ml with a detection limit of 0.2 ng/ml and a RSD around 2%. The method was applied to determination of iron total in snow, human serum and wine.     

Nucleocyclitols. Synthesis of substituted purinyl-muco-inositol derivatives

Several carbocyclic nucleoside analogs possessing a 6-substituted purine linked to a mesylated muco-inositol were synthesized. The coupling of triethylamine-activated 6-chloropurine with 2,3-anhydro-l,5,6-tri-O-(methanesulfonyl)-epi-inositol gave a 6-chloro purinyl muco-inositol amenable to further synthetic transformations in the heterocyclic moiety by substitution of the chlorine atom by nitrogen nucleophiles such as methylamino, diethylamino, benzylamino, hydrazino, morpholino, hydroxylamino, piperidino, and glycyl groups.     

Synthesis, Structure and Biological Activities of Novel Triazole Compounds Containing N,N-Dialkyldithiocarbamate Moiety

Introduction As an important type of fungicides, triazole compounds are highly efficient, low poisonous and inward absorbent.1-3 At present, the studies on triazole derivatives are mainly concentrated on compounds with triazole as the only active group. The report of triazole compounds that contain both triazole group and other active group in a single molecule has rarely been found. Dialkyl-substituted dithiocarbamate salts have also shown interesting biological effects.4 N,N-Dialkyldithio-…     

A New Technique of Synthesizing 10—Hydroxy—5—methyl—5,10—dihydrophenophosphazine 10—Oxide

10-Hydroxy-5-methyl-5,10-dihydrophenophosphazine 10-oxide(1)was prepared by a new technique of treating 10-methoxy-5,10-dihydrophenophosphazine 10-oxide(2)with an equivalent of NaH in anhydrous DMF,and then at 120℃ for 3-4h,which not only avoided poisonous and expensive methyl iodide used in literature,but made the consumption of NaH greatly decrease as well.The possible reaction mechanism was also described.The chemical structure of 1 was confiremed by IR,NMR,and mass spectroscopy.     

The Dienone–Phenol Rearrangement of Santonin: A Comprehensive Laboratory Experiment for Advanced Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Students

A comprehensive laboratory experiment suitable for advanced undergraduate organic chemistry students has been designed. The experiment is based on the dienone-phenol rearrangement reaction of the sesquiterpene santonin to give -desmotroposantonin acetate. It challenges students to solve an earlier controversial stereochemical problem. The students carry out the reaction and analyze spectroscopic data to determine the stereochemistry of the starting material and the product. In addition, they perform simple molecular modeling calculations, which enable them to rationalize the stereochemical outcome of the transformation and discuss the mechanism of the dienone-phenol rearrangement and related rearrangements reported in the literature.     

Demonstration of methylene-ether bridge formation in melamine-formaldehyde resins

¹H and ¹³C NMR have been used for the quantitative determination of methylene-ether bridges in melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resins. The amount of methylene-ether bridges was determined by ¹³C NMR from the number of monomethylolated amino groups consumed in the condensation reactions and is in agreement with that calculated from the condensation water contents. This latter method, which involves a combination of ¹H and ¹³C NMR, is based on the amount of condensation water released during the formation of both methylene and methylene-ether bridges. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Some applications of gel-permeation chromatography in investigations of structure and the solution properties of radical-initiated poly(vinyl chloride)

The applicability of the published universal calibration parameters for gel-permeation chromatography on polystyrene standards and poly(vinyl chloride) samples with a defined structure has been compared. It was shown experimentally that of several theoretically possible molecular weight averages attributed to the elution volume at the position of the peak maximum, the root mean-square average molecular weight M _Rms = (M _wM _n)^0.5 shows the best accordance. The molecular weights obtained by gel-permeation chromatography were compared with those determined by viscometry, osmometry, and the light-scattering method. The reproducibility of gel-permeation chromatography measurements is 3%, and the average variance of the results as compared with results obtained by the above methods is about 8%. It was also found that the gel-permeation chromatography does not involve any anomalies interfering with results obtained by other methods.     

A modular nanoparticle-based system for reagentless small molecule biosensing

Metalloprotein tethered CdSe nanoparticles have been generated to provide selective and reagentless maltose biosensing. As opposed to cell or protein detection by semiconducting nanoparticle bioconjugates, a modular method for small-molecule detection using semiconducting nanoparticle bioconjugates has been difficult. Here we report a method for reagentless protein-based semiconducting nanoparticle biosensors. This method uses Ru(II) complex-CdSe nanoparticle interactions and the maltose-induced conformation changes of maltose binding protein to alter the CdSe nanoparticle fluorescence emission intensity. In this proof-of-principle system, the maltose-induced protein conformation changes alter the Ru(II) complex-CdSe nanoparticle interaction, which increases the CdSe emission intensity. Altered CdSe emission intensity effects are best described as electron transfer from the Ru(II) complex to the CdSe excited state forming the nonfluorescent CdSe anion. Four surface-cysteine, Ru(II) complex-attached maltose-binding proteins have been studied for maltose dependent alteration of CdSe emission intensities. With 3.0-3.5 nm diameter CdSe nanoparticles, all ruthenated maltose-binding proteins display similar maltose-dependent increases (1.4-fold) in CdSe emission intensity and maltose binding affinities (KA = 3 x 106 M-1). For these four systems, the only difference was the sample-to-sample variation in maltose-dependent responses. Thus, very few surface cysteine mutations need to be examined to find a successful biosensor, as opposed to analogous systems using organic fluorophores. This strategy generates a unimolecular, or reagentless, semiconducting nanoparticle biosensor for maltose, which could be applied to other proteins with ligand-dependent conformation changes.
