Synthesis of Modified Methylaluminoxane

Methylaluminoxane (MAO) is one of the most important cocatalysts of metallocene catalysts. The yield and activity of MAO is low when using Al2(SO4)3 nH2O and other inorganic hydrates to synthesize methylaluminoxane. The repeatability of this reaction is not good. The product cost is very high because one of the raw materials (Trimethylaluminium, TMA) to prepare MAO is very expensive. In addition, on standing, MAO toluene solution tends to gel. Gelled MAO can not be used to prepare su…

One-step Synthesis of ε-Caprolactam by the Liquid Phase Nitrosation of Cyciohexane over the Catalysts Containing CH3COO-or-COOH

ε-Caprolactam（CL or CPL） is one of the most important intermediates used in polymer industry for the production of several million tons of nylon-6 every year^[1]. All current commercial processes for the production of caprolactam are based on either benzene or tolueneI21. Caprolactam is synthesized by the Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime with fuming sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid as the reaction medium, and cyclohexanone oxime is produced by the reaction between cyclohexanone and hydro- xylamine（only one exception is the Toray PNC process）.

Design, Synthesis and Investigation of Bone Affinity of the Conjugates of 5-Fluorouracil and Hydroxybisphosphonate

Bone tumor, as a common disease, is treated by surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is one of the most important treatment, however, a major problem of chemotherapy is lack of selectivity of cytotoxic drugs. Although many attempts have been made to increase the selectivity of therapeutic drugs for the bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, paget’s, hypercalcemia and bone metastases by conjugating them with targeting carriers1-4, there are still no bone-targeting agent…
