Design and Synthesis of Chiral Molecular Tweezers Based on Deoxycholic Acid

Molecular tweezers is a novel type of artificial receptors, which not only offer the advantage of efficient construction but also their surfaces can be tailored for specific applications. The clefts of molecular tweezers are particularly effective in regard to complementarity with substrates since functional groups attached to the interior of the cleft converge on substrates held inside1. So, in recent years, the molecular tweezers receptors have attracted more and more attention in molecular …     

IMMOBILIZED CIBACRON BLUE F3G-A ON CROSSLINKED POLY(VINYL ALCOHOL) FOR AFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY

1. INTRODUCTION Biospecific affinity chromatography is a powerful technique for purification of proteins [1]. The biological affinity ligands in common use include enzyme substrates, inhibitors, cofactors, receptors, antibodies, etc. The advantage of these biological ligands is their very high recognition specialty for particular proteins. As a result, proteins can be purified in fewer steps, often to homogeneity, in a laboratory scale. However, scale-up of the analytical and laboratory p…     

First Total Synthesis of 5_α-Hydroxy-isopterocarpolone

Sesquiterpenic compounds of the Eudesmane family have attracted considerable attention due to their intriguing biological properties1,2, particularly significant antifeedant activity, cell growth inhibitory and plant growth regulating activities.In 1996, J. Hu and co-workers3 had isolated eudesmane sesquiterpene 5?-hydroxy-isopterocarpolone 1 from the aerial parts of chinese folk medicine Artemisia eriopoda and elucidated its structure by spectropic methods. Herein, we reported the first tota…     

On surfaces immersed in Euclidean space R~4 Dedicated to Professor Yang Lo on the Occasion of his 70th Birthday

Let M be a closed oriented surface immersed in R4 . Associated it one has the generalized Gauss map from M into the Grassmann manifold G 4,2 . This note will be concerned with the geometry of the generalized Gauss map by using the moving frame theory and the quaternion interpretation of Plcker coordinates. As one of consequences,we get the celebrated theorem of Chern and Spanier,Hoffman and Osserman,who proved it by quite different methods. At last,we give an explicit construction of a series of immersions of S2 in R4 with any given normal Euler number.     

Linearity relationship between solvatochromic shifts of stilbazolium-like dyes and modified reaction field function

We analyzed statistically the linear correlation of the solva-tochromic shifts of the stilbazolium-like dyes in the nonselected solvents with the reaction field function, L(εr) - bL( n2), and the solvent polarity parameter, ETN, respectively, and observed that there were not perfectly linearity relationships between them, so we introduced ETN into L(εr) - bL(n2) to form a new reaction field function, L(εr) - bL(n2) g ETN, called as the modified reaction field function, which can be perfectly linearly correlated with the solvatochromic shifts of the stilbazolium-like dyes in the nonselected solvents.     

Large negative Goos-H(a|¨)nchen shift from a wedge-shaped thin film

The analytical expression for the complex amplitude of light reflected from a wedge-shaped thin film is derived. For plane wave incidence, a simple ray tracing approach is used to calculate Goos-H(a|¨)nchen (GH) shifts; and for non-plane wave incidence, for example, a Gaussian beam, the angular spectrum approach of plane wave is used in simulation. The two approaches predict that a wedge-shaped thin film can produce large negative longitudinal GH shifts. Although the reflectivity is small near the condition...     

Synthesis of Novel Chiral Diol Ligands for the Enantioselective Reactions

The chiral diols ((,(,((,((-Tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanols) have been used for the formation of cyclic titanates and similar derivatives of Mg, Al and Zr. These complexes of oxophilic metal centers were employed in catalytic and stiochiometric enantioselective reactions such as enantioselective addition reactions of carbon-centered nucleophiles to aldehydes1, [2+2] cycloadditions2, and Diels-Alder reactions3. So far, the two hydrogen atoms of all this type of diols are in trans form…     

W18Cr4V

The frictionand wear characteristics of the surfa ce compound layer of W18Cr4V steel by combined treatment of ion nitrocarburizing-ion sulphurizing were investigated. The friction coefficient of the compound l ayer against GCr15 steel was determined witha block-ring friction tester. The wear test was carried out with a reciprocating wear tester. The worn surface was analyzedby scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The experimental results reveale d that the friction coefficient was lower for treatedW18Cr4V steel against GCr1 5 steel. The wear resistance of the compound layer was higher because the nitroc arbonide andthe sulphide in the compound layer were capable of friction-reduct ion and adhesion-inhibition.     

Coupling Reaction of 4-Chloro-7-H-Pyrrolo[2,3-d]Pyrimidine with 2,3,5-Tri-O-Acetyl-β-D-Ribofuranosyl Chloride

Tubercidin (4-amino-7--D-riobofuranosyl-7-H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine) 1, an antibio-tic substance produced in the culture broth of Streptomyces tubericidus1, is an adenosine analog in which N-7 is replaced by a carbon atom. It has attracted much attention due to the biological activities for the growth inhibition of certain tumors, and many derivatives of tubercidin have been synthesized2-5.For the synthesis of tubercidin analogs, 4-chloro-7-H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl--D-r…     

A study on methane coupling to acetylene under the microwave plasma

By optimizing the microwave chemistry reactor made of the rectangular waveguide resonator,the methane conversion(the maximum 93.7%),the C2 hydrocarbon yield(the maximum 91.0%) and the acetylene yield(the maximum 88.6%) were all greatly increased under the microwave plasma.Furthermore,for the optimal reactor,the change of the methane conversion and the C2 hydrocarbon yield is little within the range of the pressures in the experiments.The C2 hydrocarbon is mainly made up of acetylene,and the selectivity for ...
