Summary: The copper‐catalyzed Huisgen reaction as a typical example of click chemistry was realized with the polysaccharide cellulose for the first time. The generality, selectivity, and the efficiency of click chemistry perfectly fit the requirements of polysaccharide modification, which is demonstrated by the introduction of triazole‐spacer bound functional groups, i.e., carboxylic ester, thiophene, and aniline moieties. Azide moieties introduced into cellulose via the tosyl derivative were simply transferred with ethynyl compounds under Cu(I) catalysis and mild and easily applicable conditions. Hydrolytically stable cellulose derivatives soluble in organic solvents, e.g., DMSO or DMF with DS up to 0.9 are obtained. The triazole substituted cellulose derivatives were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopies and show no impurities or substructures resulting from side reactions.
Branched starch polysaccharides are capable of binding multiple hydrophobic guests, but their exploitation as multivalent hosts and in functional materials is limited by their structural complexity and diversity. Linear α(1–4)‐linked glucose oligosaccharides are known to bind hydrophobic guests inside left‐handed single helices in solution and the solid state. Here, we describe the development of an amphiphilic probe that binds to linear α(1–4)‐linked glucose oligosaccharides and undergoes a conformational switch upon complexation, which gives rise to dramatic changes in the 1H NMR spectrum of the probe. We use this probe to explore hydrophobic binding sites in the branched starch polysaccharides amylopectin and β‐limit dextrin. Diffusion‐ordered (DOSY), nuclear Overhauser effect (NOESY) and chemical shift perturbation (HSQC) NMR experiments are utilised to provide evidence that, in aqueous solution, branched polysaccharides bind hydrophobic guests in well‐defined helical binding sites, similar to those reported for complexation by linear oligosaccharides. By examining the binding affinity of the probe to systematically enzymatically degraded polysaccharides, we deduce that the binding sites for hydrophobic guests can be located on internal as well as external branches and that proximal α(1–6)‐linked branch points weaken but do not prevent complexation. 相似文献
Abstract A preliminary study on the binding and removal of trace concentrations of aluminum ions in waters by two species of algae, Chlorella Pyrenoidosa and Chlorella Vulgaaris, were investigated. Binding by the former was minimal over all pH ranges, but binding by the latter was effective with a maximum binding of 68% occurring at pH 5. Binding was lowered drastically below pH 2, and this may be used to remove aluminum from the algae. Optimum binding occurred after 20 minutes exposure time of algae to aluminum solution and 450 mg algae mass to 100 mL solution. Binding was reproducible and more efficient in waters with low suspended solids. High salt concentrations interfere with binding, and the Chlorella Vulgaris could be reused 7 times with washings between each binding before a noticeable decrease in binding efficiency was found. 相似文献
Three di-Schiff bases of 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-isophthalaldehyde with 4-R-anilines (R=H, CH3, OCH3) and their 1:1 complexes with HClO4 were studied by FT-IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy in acetonitrile and [2H3]acetonitrile solutions, respectively. In di-Schiff bases intramolecular OH…N hydrogen bonds have been detected; however, they show no proton polarizability. Hydrogen-bonded systems with fast proton fluctuation and large proton polarizability have been found in the 1:1 complexes of di-Schiff bases with HClO4. 相似文献
The peptides RP3I and PSPP1-4 were purified from the rape and the Papaver Somniferunpollens, respectively. Their sequences and physiological activities were determined and synthesized ex-cept PSPP1. The polysaccharides TAA-C and CPA-E were obtained from Typha Angustifilia andCodonopsis Pilosula pollens, respectively. Their partial characterization and structures were studied. 相似文献
Summary: Graft copolymerization of N-isopropyl acrylamide and methyl acrylate on α-cellulose was carried out under microwave irradiation at specific cut off temperatures with cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate and potassium persulfate (KPS) as the initiating system. The role of KPS was to oxidize Ce (III) to Ce (IV) which is the active species in radical formation. The reactions at a temperature cut off of 60 °C were confirmed by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance cross-polarization with magic- angle spinning (13C NMR CP/MAS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The extent of grafting was calculated from weight gain and 13C resonances. The grafted cellulose was thermally more stable than the parent cellulose. An attempt to do grafting at a higher cut off temperature of 80 °C was made, however, no grafting was observed from 13C NMR CP/MAS but TGA results showed that a cellulose having more thermal stability resulted which was attributed to cross linking. Crystallization of CaCO3 was carried out using the grafted materials as templates showed better nucleation and different crystal structure was observed. 相似文献
A new hydrazone of gossypol with 3,6,9-trioxadecylhydrazine (GHTO) has been synthesised and its structure has been studied by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy and PM5 semiempirical methods. The results have shown that the newly synthesised hydrazone exists in solution in the N-imine–N-imine tautomeric form, stabilized by several intramolecular hydrogen bonds among which the O7H N16 intramolecular hydrogen bond is the strongest. The structure of GHTO is visualized by the PM5 semiempirical calculations. 相似文献
