Small activation entropy bestows high-stability of nanoconfined D-mannitol

It has been a long-standing puzzling problem that some glasses exhibit higher glass transition temperatures(denoting high stability) but lower activation energy for relaxations(denoting low stability). In this paper, the relaxation kinetics of the nanoconfined D-mannitol(DM) glass was studied systematically using a high-precision and high-rate nanocalorimeter.The nanoconfined DM exhibits enhanced thermal stability compared to the free DM. For example, the critical cooling rate for glass formation decreases from 200 K/s to below 1 K/s; the Tg increases by about 20 K–50 K. The relaxation kinetics is analyzed based on the absolute reaction rate theory. It is found that, even though the activation energy E~*decreases,the activation entropy S~*decreases much more for the nanoconfined glass that yields a large activation free energy G~*and higher thermal stability. These results suggest that the activation entropy may provide new insights in understanding the abnormal kinetics of nanoconfined glassy systems.     

D-甘露醇与D-山梨醇在氯化钠水溶液中的稀释焓

应用等温流动微量热法测定了298.15 K时互为旋光异构体的D-甘露醇与D-山梨醇在不同浓度的氯化钠水溶液中的稀释焓, 利用 McMillan-Mayer 理论计算了D-甘露醇与D-山梨醇在不同浓度的氯化钠水溶液中的焓对相互作用系数. 结果表明, D-甘露醇和D-山梨醇在氯化钠水溶液中的焓对相互作用系数h2均为正值, h2的值随着氯化钠浓度的增加皆逐渐增大, 但D-山梨醇的焓对相互作用系数h2增大的速率[dh2 /dm(NaCl)]比 D-甘露醇的要大. 根据两多元醇分子构象结构的差异， 溶质-溶质相互作用和溶质-溶剂相互作用对结果进行了解释.     

Freezing temperatures of aqueous solutions of methyl formate and ethyl acetate with a variety of nonelectrolytes. Gibbs energy of interaction of the ester group with other functional groups

Freezing temperatures of dilute aqueous solutions of ethyl acetate and mixtures with myo-inositol, D-mannitol, formamide, 1,3,5-trioxane, 1,4-dioxane, acetamide, hexamethylenetetramine, and methyl formate have been measured. In addition, freezing temperatures of dilute aqueous solutions of methyl formate and mixtures with the above solutes have been measured. From these data, the pairwise molecular Gibbs energies of interaction between the molecules were calculated. Using the additivity principle, the pairwise functional group Gibbs energies of interaction were calculated for ester group interactions with a variety of other functional groups.

A Practical Synthesis of (S)-(+)-2-(6-methoxyl-2-naphthyl) propionic Acid

a-Arylpropionic acids are an important class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents1,2. The therapeutic efficacy of this class of drugs is well demonstrated by the introduction and extensive use of more than a dozen compounds exemplified by ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen and flurbiprofen etc. However, in recent years the use of enantiomerical pure drugs in chemotherapy is becoming almost mandatory for enhancing specificity of drug action and reducing the toxicity. This awareness led to …

Synthesis and Antitubercular Evaluation of New Bis-1,2,3-Triazoles Derived from D-Mannitol

Five new bis-1,2,3-triazole derivatives from D-mannitol, namely 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetyl-1,6-dideoxy-1,6-bis-(4-substituted-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-D-mannitol (4), have been synthesized from 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetyl-1,6-diazido-1,6-dideoxy-D-mannitol (3) and alkynes, employing copper (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) methodology. Evaluation of their in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H₃₇Rv using the Alamar Blue susceptibility test indicated poor activities. However, this study has provided information about the SAR of D-mannitol derivatives in the search for new anti-TB drugs based on this carbohydrate.

Physico-chemical characterization of anhydrous <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis>-mannitol

In this work the solid-state characterization of anhydrous D-mannitol has been performed: α and β modifications can be distinguished only by XRPD and FTIR as they show melting temperature and enthalpy that are the same within the standard deviation. The understanding of the thermal behaviour of the δ form (obtained by re-crystallization in acetone) has required XRPD experiments performed at variable temperature. This form during heating undergoes a solid phase transition to α modification. By cooling a melted sample, under a wide range of experimental conditions, a very fast crystallization occurs. Independently of the starting crystal form (β or δ form), the re-crystallization of D-mannitol from melt always leads to α form.
