Study on the Reaction of α-Ketohemithioacetal

Aromatic α-sulfinyl carboxylic acids can be rearranged to hemithioacetals or other derivatives of glyoxylic acid under the action of acid reagents was first reported by Pummerer¹. Later, Russell and coworkers applied this rearrangement to β-ketosulfoxides, synthesized α-ketohemithioacetal², which can be transformed to α-keto alcohol, α-keto aldehyde and α-hydroxy alcohol, α-hydroxy acid³. Furthermore, Hall and Poet reported that α-ketohemithio-acetal can be rearranged to the corresponding α-hydroxythioester in the presence of magnesium nitrate and sodium acetate or tertiary amine⁴. However, few reports of reaction of α-ketohemithioacetal can be seen in literature.

Study of pre-equilibrium effects on α-induced reactions on copper

A stack of natural copper was bombarded with -particles. Cumulative cross-sections for⁶⁵Ga,⁶⁶Ga and⁶⁵Zn production, and the excitation functions for⁶⁸Ga and⁶⁷Ga production, were measured using high resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. The data are compared with the theoretical result provided by equilibrium and pre-equilibrium reaction model, for this purpose we used the code ALICE of Blann. The overall agreement with theory is good. Besides, we present the experimental data obtained by other authors.     

Study of the enantioselectivity of the CAL-B-catalysed transesterification of α-substituted α-propylmethanols and α-substituted benzyl alcohols

A study of the enantioselectivity exhibited by the lipase B from Candida antarctica in the transesterification of different α-substituted α-propylmethanols with vinyl acetate is shown. The best results are obtained when the large-sized (L) substituent of the alcohol is either a phenyl group or more especially a cyclohexyl group, although the reaction rates are lower than when linear or slightly branched groups are present. It is also found that ramification at the β-position of the L substituent has a deleterious effect on both lipase activity and enantioselectivity. Moreover, some α-substituted benzyl alcohols bearing medium-sized (M) substituents larger than an ethyl and smaller than a propyl group are resolved by means of this methodology with moderate-good enantioselectivities (E=46–57) and similar reaction rates.     

Liquid Phase Isomerization of α-Pinene. Study of the Reaction on Sulfated ZrO2

The -pinene isomerization reaction was studied on sulfated zirconium oxide catalyst for different experimental conditions. The catalysts are active for producing camphene when they present Brönsted acidity and when zirconium oxide crystallizes in the tetragonal phase. The -pinene conversion and its selectivity to camphene can be optimised by proper selection of operating conditions such as temperature, catalyst concentration and reaction time. The use of this catalyst in the appropriate conditions can result in selectivity to camphene of about 70%.

Study on the hydrogenation coupling of methane

At atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature, the hydrogenation coupling of methane was studied by using pulse corona plasma and its synergism with catalyst. The results showed that (i) under pulse corona plasma, the coupling of methane could be fulfilled by the addition of hydrogen, and with the increase of the amount of hydrogen, the conversion of methane and the yield of C2 hydrocarbon increased, and the deposit of carbon decreased; (ii) the conversion of methane was affected by pulse voltage and repeated frequency; (iii) in the system, the addition of Ni/y-AI203 could improve the distribution of C2 hydrocarbon; (iv) the activity of Ni/y-AI2O3 prepared by cold plasma was better than that by chemical methods. The experiment opened up a new technical route of the coupling of methane.     

Effect of γ-ray irradiation on the germinating characteristics of wheat seed

Few researches have been reported on the long-term germination characteristics and the effect of high gamma radiation dose on cereal seeds. In this paper, to observe the effects of gamma irradiation (0-3 kGy) on the germination of wheat seed in long-term (within 20 months), wheat seed was dried after irradiation and the germination experiment during storage time was conducted. It was found that the lengths of buds of irradiated wheat seeds diminished, the roots of irradiated wheat seeds disappeared, and no germinations in irradiated wheat seed was found. The influence of γ-ray irradiation on roots was more significant than that on buds. After long-term storage, the germination of irradiated wheat seeds increased.     

Theoretical Study on Enol-keto Tautomerism of α-Fluorine-β-diketones

1 INTRODUCTION β-diketones are a class of high functional com- pounds with outstanding optical, electric and magne- tic properties[1], and the negative ion may act as an excellent chelating agent. Hall[2] have studied β-di- ketone/metal ion complexes and indicated that the ability of combination correlates with the keto-enol distribution in solution. The enol-keto equilibrium existing in β-diketones has been extensively studied over several decades[3~9]. Burdett[10] have investiga- ted…     

Inhibition of cyclodextrins on the activity of α-amylase

α-amylase activity influences both flour fermentation process and the quality of the fermented products due to its ability of breaking starch into smaller units. The inhibition of cyclodextrins on α-amylase activity was investigated in this paper. Experiment results showed that hydrophobic cavity size was an intrinsic factor during the inhibition processing. Among three types of cyclodextrin (α-, β- and γ-), β-type exhibited the most significant inhibitory activity toward α-amylase. The optimal inhibitory parameters were indicated to be pH 5.9, concentration of β-cyclodextrins 1 mmol/L, reaction temperature 45 °C and reaction time 60 min. Results suggested that the endogenous fluorescence of α-amylase was inhibited by cyclodextrins. Circular dichroism spectrum indicated that the secondary structure of α-amylase, including α-helices, β-sheets and random coils, was changed by cyclodextrins. All the results in this paper aim to provide a further understanding for α-amylase in the industry application.     

Theoretical Study on Enol-keto Tautomerism of α-Fluorine-β-diketones

Density Functional Theory method is applied to investigate the enol-keto tautome- rism of both acyclic and cyclic α-fluorine-β-diketones. It is shown that, for acyclic cases, α-fluorine could improve the relative stability of keto tautomer by lessening intramolecular hydrogen bond of enol form, whereas the relative stability of cyclic enol could be attributed to two factors: destabi- lization of keto and stabilization of enol. Furthermore, the relative stabilities of all enol tautomers are improved in THF to different extents.

Effect of γ-ray radiation on the polyacrylonitrile based carbon fibers

To investigate the effect of γ-ray radiation on the microstructural and mechanical properties of carbon fibers, carbon fibers were irradiated by ⁶⁰Co source. The interlayer spacing d₀₀₂ of carbon fibers decreased after irradiation. The Young’s modulus and density of the fibers increased with increasing dose. The tensile strength of fibers was found to increase at low dose and decrease at high dose. Additionally, Compton scattering effect caused by γ-ray is proposed to be responsible for the structural and mechanical changes of fibers. The results indicated that γ-ray irradiation was an effective method for improving the mechanical properties and graphitization degree of polyacrylonitrile based carbon fibers.

Theoretical Study on the Antioxidant Activity of Curcumin

The computational results for curcumin at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level show that the enol form of curcumin is more stable than the diketo form because of an intramolecular hydrogen bond, which extends the conjugation effect in the enol chain, formed in the enol structure. Cis-diketone form can not be obtained, presumably due to the strong repulsion between the carbonyl dipoles aligned in parallel. According to the phenolic O-H bond dissociation enthalpy, curcumin in its most stable form can be suggested to be a relatively good antioxidant. In order to avoid overcoming H-bond interaction and to improve the antioxidant activity of curcumin, a catechol moiety was incorporated into curcumin for designing a novel antioxidant. It is found that the designed molecule is much more efficient to scavenge radical than curcumin, comparable to vitamin E. Moreover, the ionization potential of the designed molecule is similar to that of curcumin, indicating that the designed molecule can not display the prooxidant effect.
