An ω-transaminase-triggered intramolecular aza-Michael reaction has been employed for the preparation of cyclic β-enaminones in good yield and excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity, starting from easily accessible prochiral ketoynones and commercially available enzymes. The powerful thermodynamic driving force associated with the spontaneous aza-Michael reaction effectively displaces the transaminase reaction equilibrium towards product formation, using only two equivalents of isopropylamine. To demonstrate the potential of this methodology, this biocatalytic aza-Michael step was combined with annulation chemistry, affording unique stereo-defined fused alkaloid architectures. 相似文献

Terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy and 3D THz pulsed imaging have been explored with regard to polymer materials, both
commodity and historic polymers. A systematic spectroscopic study of a wide range of different polymer materials showed significant
differences in their spectra. Polyolefins and polystyrenes generally exhibit lower absorption than other examined polymers,
various cellulose derivates, poly(vinyl chloride), poly(methyl methacrylate), polyamide, hard rubber and phenol formaldehyde
resin, the last of these exhibiting the most intense absorption over the entire range, 0.15–4.2 THz. It was also examined
how the presence of plasticisers in poly(vinyl chloride), the presence of fillers in polypropylene, and the degree of branching
in polyethylene and polystyrene affect the spectra; inorganic fillers in polypropylene affected the absorption most. With
3D THz pulsed imaging, features in polymer objects were explored, appearing either as integral parts of the material (coatings
and pores in foams) or as a consequence of physical deterioration (cracks, delamination). All of these features of various
complexities can be successfully imaged in 3D. Terahertz technology is thus shown to have significant potential for both chemical
and structural characterisation of polymers, which will be of interest to heritage science, but also to the polymer industry
and development of analytical technologies in general. 相似文献

An image-processing method is proposed to obtain the distribution of the removal efficiency of particles on a plate by an
air jet. This method can be used to measure particle removal from a flat surface by processing the image of the reflected
light from the surface. Factors affecting the particle removal efficiency such as air pressure, distance between the nozzle
and the impinging surface and the impinging angle are discussed. Optimal conditions are determined to obtain the most effective
particle removal by the air jet.

The solid-state terahertz (THz) spectrum (2–120 cm−1) of α-form cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) has been simulated using solid-state density functional calculations at a BP/DNP level of theory. BP/DNP features are in good agreement with both 298 K and a new 7 K polycrystalline RDX THz spectrum. The 7 K RDX spectrum is noteworthy for several mode shifts and spectral detail that greatly aids mode assignments. Previous RDX isolated-molecule calculations (with six calculated modes below 125 cm−1) are incapable of accurately predicting the numerous features in this region, highlighting the importance of solid-state theoretical methods for solid-state terahertz feature assignments. 相似文献

With the development of high intensity femtosecond lasers, the ionisation and dissociation dynamics of molecules has become an area of considerable interest. Using the technique of femtosecond laser mass spectrometry (FLMS), the molecules carbon disulphide, pyrimidine, toluene, cyclohexanone and benzaldehyde are studied with pulse widths of 50 fs in the near infrared (IR) wavelength region (790 nm). Results are presented and contrasted for laser beam intensities around 10(15) and 10(16) W cm(-2). For the lower intensities, the mass spectra yield dominant singly charged parent ions. Additionally, the appearance of doubly charged parent ions is evident for carbon disulphide, toluene and benzaldehyde with envelopes of doubly charged satellite species existing in these local regions. Carbon disulphide also reveals a small triply charged component. Such atomic-like features are thought to be a strong fingerprint of FLMS at these intensities. However, upon increasing the laser intensity to approximately 10(16) W cm(-2), parent ion dominance decreases and the appearance of multiply charged atomic species occurs, particularly carbon. This phenomenon has been attributed to Coulomb explosions in which the fast absorption of many photons may produce transient highly ionised parent species which can subsequently blow apart.

Feeding strategies of earthworms and their influence on soil processes are often inferred from morphological, behavioral and physiological traits. We used (13)C and (15)N natural abundance in earthworms, soils and plants to explore patterns of resource utilization by different species of earthworms in three tropical ecosystems in Puerto Rico. In a high altitude dwarf forest, native earthworms Trigaster longissimus and Estherella sp. showed less (15)N enrichment ((15)N = 3-6 per thousand) than exotic Pontoscolex corethrurus ((15)N =7-9 per thousand) indicating different food sources or stronger isotopic discrimination by the latter. Conversely, in a lower altitude tabonuco forest, Estherella sp. and P. corethrurus overlapped completely in (15)N enrichment ((15)N = 6-9 per thousand), suggesting the potential for interspecific competition for N resources. A tabonuco forest converted to pasture contained only P. corethrurus which were less enriched in (15)N than those in the forest sites, but more highly enriched in (13)C suggesting assimilation of C from the predominant C(4) grass. These results support the utility of stable isotopes to delineate resource partitioning and potential competitive interactions among earthworm species. Copyright 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The potential of femtosecond laser time-of-flight mass spectrometry (FLMS) for uniform quantitative analysis of molecules has been investigated. Various samples of molecular gases and vapours have been studied, using ultra-fast ( approximately 50 fs) laser pulses with very high intensity (up to 1.6 x 10(16) Wcm(-2)) for non-resonant multiphoton ionisation/tunnel ionisation. Some of these molecules have high ionisation potentials, requiring up to ten photons for non-resonant ionisation. The relative sensitivity factors (RSF) have been determined as a function of the laser intensity and it has been demonstrated that for molecules with very different masses and ionisation potentials, uniform ionisation has been achieved at the highest laser intensities. Quantitative laser mass spectrometry of molecules is therefore a distinct possibility. Copyright 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Rigid molecule atomistic lattice dynamics calculations have been performed to predict the phonon spectra of the four polymorphs of carbamazepine, and these calculations predict that there should be differences in the spectra of all four forms. Terahertz spectra have been measured for forms I and III, and there are clearly different features between polymorphs' spectra, that are accentuated at low temperature. While carbamazepine adopts the same hydrogen bonded dimers in all of its known polymorphs, the calculations show that differences in packing arrangements of the dimers lead to changes in the frequency ranges for each type of hydrogen bond vibration, giving a physical explanation to the observed differences between the spectra. Although the agreement between calculated and observed spectra does not allow a definitive characterization of the spectra, it is possible to make tentative assignments of many of the observed features in the terahertz region for the simpler form III; we can only make some tentative assignments of specific modes in the more complex spectrum of form I. While harmonic rigid molecule lattice dynamics shows promise for understanding the differences in spectra between polymorphs of organic molecules, discrepancies between observed and calculated spectra suggest areas of improvement in the computational methods for more accurate modeling of the dynamics in molecular organic crystals. 相似文献
