Enantioselective Reduction of Prochiral Ketones with NaBH4/Me2SO4/(S)-Me-CBS

The enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones with NaBH₄/Me₂SO₄/(S)-Me-CBS is described. Borane is generated in situ via the reaction of NaBH₄ with Me₂SO₄ in tetrahydrofuran, which is as efficient as the commercial one. Such in situ–generated borane reagent was applied to reduce prochiral ketones in the presence of chiral oxazaborolidine catalyst directly. The corresponding chiral secondary alcohols were obtained with excellent enantiomeric excesses (93–99% ee) and good to excellent yield (80–99%).

大气半/中等挥发性有机物的组成及其对有机气溶胶贡献

本文综述了大气半/中等挥发性有机物S/IVOCs的测量技术、来源、大气行为及对有机气溶胶生成的贡献。S/IVOCs测量技术的进步主要依托于质谱技术的发展,分为离线和在线测量质谱测量技术。离线测量物种鉴别能力好,但预处理复杂、时间分辨率低;在线测量技术可以获得高时间分辨率的组分及气粒分配信息,对揭示化学反应机理具有重要作用。S/IVOCs的来源包括一次和二次源。目前对一次源排放的研究主要针对机动车和生物质燃烧。研究结果表明,汽油车、柴油车和生物质燃烧排放S/IVOCs分别为POA的2.9~8.5倍、4.5~20.4倍和0.83~5.57倍。汽油车排放的S/IVOCs氧化可贡献总SOA的34%~76%,柴油车则高达90%,生物质燃烧占80%。基于外场观测数据的模型模拟表明S/IVOCs对实际大气中SOA的贡献可达40%~85%,是不可或缺的SOA前体物。未来研究中,开发新的测量技术、定量分析源排放和环境大气中S/IVOCs浓度及其对SOA贡献是研究的关键,将外场观测、实验室模拟与模型模拟相结合,能够为S/IVOCs生成SOA机制探讨提供思路。

High-resolution spectroscopy of H2SO4, HDSO4, and D2SO4 vapor in the region 1200-10,000 cm(-1)

The high-resolution (0.05 cm(-1)) spectra of gas-phase H2SO4, HDSO4, and D2SO4 were measured over the frequency region 1200-10,000 cm(-1) using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The increased resolution of this work compared with previous studies has lead to an improved vibrational analysis of H2SO4. This study has answered unresolved questions about combination bands and overlapping features from previous gas-phase spectroscopic studies of H2SO4 and marks the first experimental measurement of the nu8 and nu15 torsional vibrations in this molecule. This work leads to a brief discussion on vibrational mode mixing in sulfuric acid.     

Reduction of Organic Compounds with Thiourea Dioxide I. Reduction of Aldehydes to Primary Alcohols

Benzaldehyde, 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde, furfural, and 2-thiophenecarbaldehyde were reduced to the corresponding primary alcohols in satisfactory yields with thiourea dioxide in ethanolic alkaline solution, but 2-pyrrolecarbaldehyde, in very low yield. The reduction of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde with the same reagent, however, was found to afford bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl) methane.     

Photocatalytic Reduction of Ag2SO4 by Dawson-Derived Sandwich Complex

Photocatalytic reduction of Ag^I₂SO₄ from aqueous solutions is observed in the presence of Dawson-derived sandwich type polyoxometalates (POMs) [M₄(P₂W₁₅O₅₆)₂]¹⁶⁻, M = Co²⁺, Ni²⁺ and Zn²⁺ as photocatalyst and an organic substrate (propan-2-ol) as sacrificial electron donor. The direct photochemical excitation of the Dawson-derived sandwich type polyoxometalates in the presence of propan-2-ol leads to its reduction. That first reduction step induces electron transfer to Ag⁺ ions to give Ag⁰ metal atoms which then form by aggregation colloidal metal nanoparticles stabilized by POM. In the case of [Co₄(P₂W₁₅O₅₆)₂]¹⁶⁻, TEM experiments reveal that the Ag_n particles obtained with a slight excess of Ag⁺ are almost spherical with size in the range 20 – 50 nm. However, in a large excess of Ag⁺, the obtained colloids are more oblate and assembled together to give larger aggregates.

Structure Characterization of CuCl2-FeCl3-H2SO4 Graphite Intercalation Compounds

"Graphite intercalation compounds with CuCl2-FeCl3-H2SO4 were synthesized via a hydrothermal treatment at 150 oC and exfoliation method. The structure and composition of these graphite intercalation compounds were analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that the CuCl2-FeCl3-H2SO4 molecules were successfully intercalated into the interlayer of the graphite sheets. The temperature dependence of magnetization was measured from 5 K to 300 K. Two antiferromagnetic transitions of the graphite intercalation compounds were observed at low temperatures. The critical transition temperatures are estimated to be about 50 and 102 K. The related magnetic properties are discussed briefly."     

Raman observation of the interactions between NH4+, SO4(2-), and H2O in supersaturated (NH4)2SO4 droplets

High signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) Raman spectra of (NH(4))(2)SO(4) droplets deposited on a quartz substrate were obtained from dilute to supersaturated states upon decreasing the relative humidity (RH). When the molar water-to-solute ratio (WSR) decreases from 16.8 to 3.2, the v(1)-SO(4)(2-) band changes very little, that is, showing a red-shift of only about 1 cm(-1) (from 979.9 to 978.8 cm(-1)) and an increase of its full width at half-maximum (fwhm) from 8.3 to 9.8 cm(-1). Other vibration modes such as v(2)- and v(4)-SO(4)(2-) bands appear almost constantly at 452 and 615 cm(-1). Such kind of a spectroscopic characteristic is different from previous observation on other cations, indicating that the interactions between SO(4)(2-) and NH(4)+ in supersaturated states are similar to those between SO(4)(2-) and H(2)O in dilute states. After fitting the Raman spectra with Gaussian functions in the spectral range of 2400-4000 cm(-1), we successfully extracted six components at positions of 2878.7, 3032.1, 3115.0, 3248.9, 3468.4, and 3628.8 cm(-1), respectively. The first three components are assigned to the second overtone of NH(4)+ umbrella bending, the combination band of NH(4)+ umbrella bending and rocking vibrations, and the NH(4)+ symmetric stretching vibration, while the latter three components are from the strongly, weakly, and slightly hydrogen-bonded components of water molecules, respectively. With a decrease of the RH, the proportion of the strongly hydrogen-bonded components increases, while that of the weakly hydrogen-bonded components decreases in the droplets. The coexistence of strongly, weakly, and slightly hydrogen-bonded water molecules must hint at a similar hydrogen-bonding network of NH(4)+, SO(4)(2-), and H(2)O to that of pure liquid water in supersaturated (NH(4))(2)SO(4) droplets.     

Highly efficient approach to orthogonally protected (2S,4R)- and (2S,4S)-4-hydroxyornithine

[reaction: see text] A concise stereoselective approach to both orthogonally protected (2S,4R)- and (2S,4S)-4-hydroxyornithine, key constituents of the biphenomycin- and clavalanine-type antibiotics, respectively, has been developed. The approach is based on bis(oxazoline) copper(II)-complex-catalyzed diastereoselective Henry reactions of nitromethane with the homoserine-derived aldehyde 6. The synthesis of this versatile chiral building block has been markedly improved.     

Synthesis of (2S,4S)- and (2S,4R)-5-fluoroleucine and (2S,4S)-[5,5-2H2]-5-fluoroleucine

Syntheses of (2S,4S)- and (2S,4R)-5-fluoroleucine, and, and of (2S,4S)-[5,5-(2)H(2)]-5-fluoroleucine, have been completed. The methodology allows these compounds to be prepared in sufficient quantities for incorporation by solid-state protein synthesis into strategic sites in proteins for folding studies. X-ray structures of the epimers and have been obtained and show the presence of conformational isomerism. The torsion angles between the F-C bond and the main chain are compared with values found in a mutant of the protein ubiquitin in which (2S,4S)-5-fluoroleucine replaces leucine residues 50 and 67 in the native protein.     

A Study of the Electrochemical Behavior of Copper in Acid Medium in Presence of Some Organic Amine Compounds

The rate of corrosion of copper metal in presence of methyl amine, dimethyl amine, diethyl amine, triethyl amine, diethanol amine, and triethanol amine determined by measuring the anodic limiting current. The factors used are type of organic amine compounds and its concentration, concentration of H₃Po₄, viscosity of solution, density, diffusion coefficient, and rate of rotation. It has been found that, the rate of corrosion decrease in presence of these compounds. The inhibition percentage ranged from 9.72% to 80.14% depending on the type of inhibitor and its concentration. It is suggested that the decrease in the rate of corrosion is attributed to the increase in interfacial viscosity of the solution and decrease the diffusion coefficient of the copper ion. It has been found that we can apply the Langmuir, Flory-Huggins, and kinetic adsorption isotherms. It has been found that the rate of inhibition is increases in order: methyl amine, dimethyl amine, diethyl amine, triethyl amine, diethanol amine, and triethanol amine. The rate of corrosion depends on the H₃Po₄ concentration as well as on the electrode height. The limiting current in undivided cells is higher than in divided cells due to the uprising H₂ bubbles, which enhances the rate of corrosion. Also, the rate of corrosion was found to increase by increasing the speed of rotating electrode. The dimensionless groups were calculated, and the relation between them was given and the equation given as following: Sh = 0.5046 Re^0.7201(Sc)^0.33 for methyl amine; Sh = 0.5381 Re^0.7157(Sc)^0.33 for dimethyl amine; Sh = 0.4887 Re^0.7356(Sc)^0.33 for diethyl amine; Sh = 0.5167 Re^0.7207(Sc)^0.33 for triethyl amine; Sh = 0.5373 Re^0.7238(Sc)^0.33 for diethanol amine; and Sh = 0.4958 Re^0.7280(Sc)^0.33 for triethanol amine.
