Synthesis of Some Novel 2,3-diaryl-Butadiene Analogues

The reductive coupling of carbonyl compounds is an important method of carbon-carbon bond formation. The reaction can be used in both an inter-and intramolecular manner. It is important for the formation of olefins. Mukaiyama T., et al1 reported that the reductive coupling of ketones with TiCl4/Zn in tetrahydrofuran (THF) afforded the corresponding pinacols or olefins in high yields. The pinacols were obtained at 0℃. After heating, the deoxygenation reaction of pinacols afforded olefins2.…     

BIOLOGICAL FUNCTION OF MODIFIED NUCLEOTIDES IN tRNA MOLECULES——SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF THE ANALOGUES OF YEAST ALANYL tRNA WITH I_(34) REPLACED BY A_(34) OR G_(34)

Analogues of yeast alanyl tRNA with I_(34) replaced by A_(34) or G_(34) were synthesized. Synthetic analoguesof yeast alanyl tRNT occupy the same position as the natural yeast alanyl tRNA on polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis, and their purity is about 95% after electrophoresis on a 10% or 20% polyacrylamide gel.The two terminal and nearest neighbour nucleotides of the analogues are all correct. The accepting acti-vity of the synthetic analogues is similar to that of the reconstituted natural yeast alanyl tRNA. The in-corporation activity of alanine into proteins of the synthetic analogues is about 30% of that of the naturalof reconstituted natural yeast alanyl tRNA when I_(34) is replaced by A, and is 90% when I_(34) is replaced byG.The reason of the variation in biological function of the analogues of yeast alanyl tRNA after I_(34) re-placed by A or G was discussed.     

Structure and stability for (AlN)_n~+ and (AlN)_n~- (n=1-15) clusters

Using density functional theory (DFT) method with 6-31G* basis set, we have carried out the optimizing calculation of geometry, vibrational frequency and thermodynamical stability for(AIN)n+ and (AIN)n- (n =1-15) clusters. Moreover, their ionic potential (IP) and electron affinity(EA) were discussed. The results show that the electrical charge condition of the cluster has a relatively great impact on the structure of the cluster and with the increase of n, this kind of impactis reduced gradually. There are no AI-AI and N-N bonds in the stable structure of (AIN)n+ or (AIN)n-, and the AI-N bond is the sole bond type. The magic number regularity of (AIN)n+, and (AIN)n- is consistent with that for (AIN)n, indicating that the structure with even n such as 2, 4,6, … is more stable. In addition, (AIN)10 has the maximal ionization power (9.14 eV) and the minimal electron affinity energy (0.19 eV), which manifests that (AIN)10 is more stable than other clusters.     

Crystal Structure and Spectroscopic Analysis of Polypyridyl Quinoxaline with Ce(Ⅲ) and Nd(Ⅲ)

Two high coordination crystals were obtained by the interaction of Ce~(3+) and Nd~(3+) with polypyridyl quinoxaline ligand 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakis(2-pyridyl)dipyrazino[2,3-f:20,30-h]quinoxaline(HPDQ), and they were characterized. Complex 1 exhibits a 0 dimensional three-nuclear structure, with the three Ce(Ⅲ) atoms being ten-, eleven- and twelve-coordinated. Complex 2 is a 0 dimensional dual-core structure and the Nd(Ⅲ) atom is ten-coordinated. Complex 1 is of monoclinic system, space group P2/c with a = 16.850(3), b = 16.617(3), c = 24.017(5) ?, β = 100.94(3)o, V = 6602(2) ?~3, Z = 4, S = 1.062, F(000) = 3372, R = 0.0504 and wR = 0.1463(I 2σ(I)). Complex 2 adopts a monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 25.795(5), b = 20.166(4), c = 13.059(3) ?, β = 112.29(3)°, V = 6286(2) ?~3, Z = 4, S = 1.004, F(000) = 2664, R = 0.0663 and wR = 0.1821(I 2σ(I)). Furthermore, the behaviors of HPDQ with Ce~(3+) and Nd~(3+) in the solution are also investigated. After the Ce~(3+) is added, the ultraviolet absorption of the solution is enhanced with a red shift compared with that of the HPDQ ligand. While after adding Nd~(3+), the ultraviolet absorption of the solution is weakened, and it has a red shift which is the same as Ce~(3+). However, after the respective addition of metal ions, the emission of all solutions is quenched and has a red shift compared with that of the HPDQ ligand.     

Preparative Purification and Bioassay of Bt Toxin from CrylAb Transgenic Rice

A method of extracting and purifying CrylAb protein(Bt toxin) from CrylAb transgenic rice was established. Most of the Bt toxin present in the tissue of CrylAb transgenic rice was extracted effectively with a solution of 50 mmoi/LNa2CO3 and NaHCO3. The crude protein containing Bt toxin was obtained after the pretreatment of CrylAb transgenic rice with ultra-filtration, ammonium sulfate precipitation and centrifugation. The dialysed crude protein was futher separated on DEAE Sephadex A-50 columns and Sephadex G-150 columns. The protein bound on DEAE Sephadex A-50 gel was eluted with buffer solution B(10 mmol/L tris-HCI buffer 1.0 mmol/L EDTA, pH=8.0) mixed with 0. 1, 0. 3, 0.5 and 0.8 mol/L NaCI in a discontinuous gradient elution mode. The peak of the Bt toxin eluted from the columns was identified by ELISA and bioassayed with larvae of tobacco hornworms and silkworms. The purity and the bioactivity of the Bt toxin were determined by means of SDS-PAGE and larvicidal assay, respectively. The purity of the Bt toxin obtained by this method is high, and its insecticidal activity is retained after the toxin is purified.     

Stereoconvergent and stepwise 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of nitrile oxides and nitrile imines

The first example of stereoconvergent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides and nitrile imines with E/Z isomeric mixture of electron-deficient olefins is reported, delivering isoxazolines and pyrazolines bearing two vicinal stereogenic tertiary and trifluoromethylated quaternary carbon centers with perfect regioand diastereoselectivities. The possibility of concerted cycloaddition/epimerization sequence under basic condition to form the thermodynamically stable diastereomers is excluded th...     

Solid-phase Synthesis of Acyl-plasminogen-Streptokinase Activator Composite（APSAC） and Its Thrombolytic Properties

The dialysis method has been traditionally used for the conversion of native human plasminogen (Glu-Hpg) to lys-plasminogen(Lys-Hpg). Here is described a solid-phase synthesis method for the preparation of an acyl-plasminogen-streptokinase activator complex(APSAC) from Lys-Hpg, streptokinase (SK) and chemical modification agent(4-amidinophenyl-4‘-aminobenzoate hydrochloride) with the L-lysine-Sepharose 4B Column as the carrier. The new method significantly increases the product yield and purity over the liquidphase methods. The APSAC prepared with the new method exhibits a significant thrombolytic effect with a long half-life of about 8.8 h in rabbits.

Decorated zeolites for chemoselective alkyne/olefin separations

正Light olefins, such as ethylene, propylene, and 1,3-butadiene, are basic chemical raw materials with increasing global demand of approaching 400 million metric tons per year. During the industrial production of light olefins, traces of alkyne impurities are co-produced and will show great impacts on the polymerization and subsequent processing of olefins. The purification of olefins is therefore regarded as one of the most important and largest chemical separation processes [1].

Catalytic pyrolysis of atmospheric residue on a fluid catalytic cracking catalyst for the production of light olefins

Catalytic pyrolysis of Chinese Daqing atmospheric residue on a commercial fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst was investigated in a confined fluidized bed reactor. The results show that the commercial FCC catalyst has good capability of cracking atmospheric residue to light olefins. The analysis of gas samples shows that the content of total light olefins in cracked gas is above 80%. The analysis of liquid samples shows that the content of aromatics in liquid samples ranges from 60% to 80%, and it increases with the enhancement of reaction temperature. The yield of total light olefins shows a maximum with the increase of reaction temperature, the weight ratios of catalyst-to-oil and steam-to-oil, respectively. The optimal reaction temperature, the weight ratios of catalyst-to-oil and steam-to-oil are about 650℃, 15 and 0.75, respectively.     

Synthesis,crystal structures and spectral properties of cobalt (Ⅱ) complexes:[ CoL (N_3) ] ·ClO_4 and CoL (N_3)_2 [L=tris ((3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl) methyl) amine

Two monomeric cobalt(Ⅱ)complexes,[CoL(N3)] ClO4(1)and CoL(N3)2(2),where L is tris((3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methyl)amine,were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction technique.Complex 1 is five coordinated with one azide nitrogen atom and four nitrogen atoms of the tris((3,5-dimethylpyrazol-l-yl)-methyl)amine ligand,and the metal center is in distorted trigonal bipyramidal environment.Complex 2 is six coordinated distorted octahedron with the two azide nitrogen atoms and four nitrogen donors of the tris((3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-methyl)amine ligand.The solution behaviors of the title complexes have been further investigated by UV-Vis,and 1H NMR analysis.It is found that the formation of 1 and 2 depends on the molar ratio of the azide ion to metal salt and ligand Complex 1 attached with one azide group is more stable and easy to generate than complex 2 incorporated with two azide groups,and the reasons were well discussed.     

Isolation of hemoglobin with metal–organic frameworks Y(BTC)(H_2O)_6

The hierarchical metal-organic frameworks(MOFs),such as Y(BTC)(H_2O)_6,are prepared with yttrium nitrate and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid at room temperature.The product is characterized by Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR),X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).The Y(BTC)(H_2O)_6 particles are sufficiently rigid for performing solid phase extraction and they exhibit favorable selectivity toward the adsorption of hemoglobin.The adsorption behavior of hemoglobin onto the Y(BTC)(H_2O)_6 fits the Langmuir adsorption model with a theoretical adsorption capacity of 555.6 mg g 1.An adsorption efficiency of 87.7%for 100μg mL 1hemoglobin in 1 mL sample solution(at pH 6.0)is achieved with 0.40 mg Y(BTC)(H20)6.77.3%of the retained hemoglobin is readily recovered using a 0.5%(m/v)SDS solution as the stripping reagent.Circular dichroism spectra indicated that the conformation of hemoglobin is maintained during the adsorption-desorption process.The MOFs material is applied for the isolation of hemoglobin from human blood and the purity of the obtained hemoglobin is further verified by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE).     

Synthesis of O-(2-[~(18)F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine and its biological evaluation in B16 melanoma-bearing mice as PET tracer for tumor imaging

O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl) -L-tyrosine([18F]FET) ,a fluorine-18 labeled analogue of tyrosine,has been syn-thesized and biologically evaluated in tumor-bearing mice. The whole synthesis procedure is com-pleted within 50 min. The radiochemical yield is about 40%(no decay corrected) and radiochemical purity more than 97% after simplified solid phase extraction. [18F]FET shows rapid,high uptake and long retention in the tumor as well as low uptake in the brain. The ratios of tumor-to-muscle(T/M) and tumor-to-blood(T/B) of [18F]FET are similar to those of [18F]FDG,but the ratios of tumor-to-brain(T/Br) are 2-3 times higher than that of [18F]FDG. Autoradiography of [18F]FET demonstrates a remarkable accumulation in melanoma with high contrast. It appears to be a probable competitive candidate for melanoma imaging with PET.     

Recoverable Mn~Ⅲ (salen) supported on diamine modified zirconium poly(styrene-isopropenyl phosphonate)-phosphate as an efficient catalyst for epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins

Chiral Mn Ⅲ (salen) (Jacobsen’s catalyst) was axially immobilized onto a new type of organic polymer-inorganic hybrid materialzirconium poly(styrene-isopropenyl phosphonate)-phosphate(ZPS-IPPA) with different linkage lengths and evaluated as catalysts for the epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins. The results demonstrated that the prepared catalysts exhibited moderate to good activity and enantioselectivity in the asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins. Furthermore, the immobilized catalysts were relatively stable and could be conveniently separated from the reaction system by simple precipitation in hexane. Moreover, higher enantioselectivity was obtained with catalyst 2c than that of homogeneous counterpart catalyzed even after eight times. The excellent recycling of the catalyst was attributed to its structure feature of ZPS-IPPA which is different from either pure polystyrene or pure zirconium phosphates.     

超临界相中的长链烷烃催化脱氢

The preparation of olefins from long chain alkanes by catalytic dehydrogenation is an important process in synthetic detergents and surface-active agents[1]. Because of equilibrium limitation, the present process only reaches about 10 % of the conversion with 90 % of the selectivity. In addition, the lifetime of the catalysts ( e. g. Pt-Sn/Al2O3) is around 40 d owing to the severe coke formation even with n(H2 )/n(alkane)= 8. Although the catalysts have been well improved, both conversion and selectivity were hardly enhanced. New technique is therefore required to improve the process.     

Carbon nanotubes-supported palladium nanoparticles for the Suzuki reaction in supercritical carbon dioxide: A facile method for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted olefins

A facile and efficient method for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted olefins in supercritical carbon dioxide was developed by using carbon nanotubes-supported palladium nanoparticles (Pd/CNTs) as the catalyst. Compared with common Pd/C, Pd/CNTs could more effectively catalyze the reaction of dibromo-substituted olefins with boronic acids, affording the corresponding tetrasubstituted olefins with moderate to good yields. This environmentally benign route with an easy-to-handle catalyst provides an appealing alternative to the currently available methods.     

Enantioselective Resolution of (±)-l-Phenylethyl Acetate by Using the Whole Cells of Deep-sea Bacterium Bacillus sp. DL-2

Bacillus sp. DL-2 was isolated from the deep sea of the Western Pacific and further utilized as novel biocatalysts to efficiently asymmetrically hydrolyze (±)-1-phenylethyl acetate. After the optimization of hydrolytic reactions, chiral chemicals (R)1-phenylethanol and (S)-l-phenylethyl acetate were obtained with high optical purities (96% and 99.8%, respectively). Our research is about the asymmeric hydrolysis of (±)-1-phenylethyl acetate using whole-cell biocatalysts. In addition, the optical purity of (S)-l-phenylethyl acetate generated through the kinetic resolution of (±)-1-phenylethyl acetate using the whole-cells of Bacillus sp. DL-2 was the highest report so far. Using the whole cells of deep sea bacterium Bacillus sp. DL-2 as the biocatalysts is an enviromnentally friendly method and will play critical roles in industrial asymmetric synthesis.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of the Oxidation of Glycol by Dihydroxyditelluratoargentate(Ⅲ) with Spectrophotometry

The kinetics of the oxidation of glycol by dihydroxyditelluratoargentate (Ⅲ) complex(DDA) was studied in alkaline medium with spectrophotometry(in a temperature range of 16.6-40 ℃).The first-order rates with respect to glycol and Ag(Ⅲ) were all found.The rates increased with the increase in [OH-] and decreased with the increase in [TeO2-4].No effect was found with the addition of KNO3 and no free radical was detected.In view of this,the dihydroxymonotelluratoargentate(Ⅲ) species(DMA) is assumed to be the active species.A plausible mechanism involving a two-electron transfer is proposed,and the rate equation derived from the mechanism can explain all experimental observations.Activation parameters of the rate-determining step and constants are evaluated.     

Characteristics and formation of [AlO_4Al_(12)(OH)_(24)(H_2O)_(12)]~(7+) in electrolysis process

[AlO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12] + (Al13) formation in electrolysis process is studied. The results detected by27Al NMR spectroscopy show that high content of Al13 polymer is formed in the partially hydrolyzed aluminum solution prepared by controlled electrolysis process. In the produced electrolyte of total Al concentration ([AlT]) 2.0 mol · L-1 with a basicity (B = OH/Al molar ratios) of 2.0, the content of Al13 polymer is over 60% of total Al. Dynamic light scattering shows that the size distribution of the final electrolyte solutions ([AlT] = 2.0 mol · L-1) is trimodal with B = 2.0 and bimodal with B = 2.5. The aggregates of Al13 complexes increase the particle size of partially hydrolyzed aluminum solution.
