四氟乙烯齐聚体的反应 四氟乙烯四、五聚体和芳香胺的反应

前已报道四氟乙烯四聚体(全氟-3,4-甲基己烯-3)(1)、五聚体(全氟-3,4-二甲基-4-乙基己烯-2)(2)和脂肪烷氧以及脂肪胺的亲核反应.本文报道化合物1,2和芳香胺如苯胺、β-萘胺的反应.由于烯烃1、2双键处于分子中间,因而当亲核试剂进攻时,双键容易发生重排,生成的末端基烯烃更具反应性,故导致一取代、二取代、三取代以及环化降解等复杂产物.     

Determination of betamethasone and triamcinolone acetonide by GC-NCI-MS in excreta of treated animals and development of a fast oxidation procedure for derivatisation of corticosteroids.

The use of corticosteroids in combination with other hormonal substances has long been known to result in increased mass gain with bovines. Practice has demonstrated, however, that even the single use of a glucocorticoid may result in growth promoting effects. In addition to the popular dexamethasone, more recently other corticosteroids have also been misused for fattening purposes. The first part of this study deals with the detection of two of them, namely betamethasone and triamcinolone acetonide. Betamethasone was administered orally to a cow at a dose of 50 mg d-1 for 5 d, then later the same cow was injected intramuscularly with a dose of 50 mg of betamethasone dipropionate. Excretion in urine and faeces was followed with both HPLC-enzyme immunoassay and a previously described method based on negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry (NCI-MS) after oxidation. For the triamcinolone acetonide study a cow was treated with 50 mg d-1 of the drug during a 7 d period. Excretion in faeces was followed with GC-NCI-MS. As triamcinolone acetonide is resistant to the previously described oxidation procedure, however, a hydrolysis step had to be introduced prior to oxidation. In addition to this specific modification necessary for triamcinolone acetonide, in a subsequent part of this study the original oxidation procedure with pyridinium chlorochromate was re-investigated especially to shorten the procedure. With the introduction of potassium dichromate the reaction time could be decreased from 3 h to 10 min.     

FT-IR observation of covalent labelling of lysozyme crystals by organometallic complexes of transition metals

Electrophilic complexes of iron and chromium which have been reported to react with proteins in solution have been reacted with hen-egg white lysozyme (HEWL) in both the solution and crystal phases under similar pH and buffer conditions. This work was carried out with a view to developing novel side-chain selective heavy metal derivatives for protein X-ray crystallographic studies. Reaction of HEWL with a tricarbonyldienyliron cation (1) in aqueous solution led to modification of the sole histidine residue with concurrent reversible modification of other protein residues. Reaction of (1) with crystalline HEWL showed no covalent binding and only a build up of a hydrolysis product in the water channels of the crystal was observed. Reactions with a series of tricarbonylarylchromium pyrylium salts (2) led to the formation of stable covalent HEWL derivatives in solution. Chromatographic and IR spectroscopic studies showed that binding took place specifically at the epsilon-amino group of lysine residues to give a series of mono- and di-substituted products. When crystals of HEWL were soaked with the chromium reagents covalent binding to some of the lysine residues was also observed. In contrast, HEWL crystals which had their lysine side chains disabled did not bind any of the chromium reagents.     

Dependence of the Rate of Electrodeposition of Metals at Mono- and Multielectrodes on Voltage in the Case of an Exaltation Mechanism of Mass Transport

Dependences of the rate of copper deposition on mono- and multielectrodes out of dilute solutions of acetic acid at voltages of 20–250 V are compared. It is established that the same rate of deposition in the case of a multielectrode (25 electrodes with a diameter of 0.1 mm) takes place at a voltage that is lower by 2.7 times than that in the case of a monoelectrode with a diameter of 0.5 mm and the same area. The same results are obtained during electrodeposition of cadmium and thallium. In order to explain this effect, a two-layered model of potential distribution is suggested. In accordance with this model, the resistance of electrolyte in the vicinity of a multielectrode is equal to the sum of the resistance of the layer nearest to the electrode (where it is determined by the sum of conductances to each microelectrode) and the external layer, where the potential distribution is close to hemispherical. It is shown that calculations in accordance with this model allow one to give an estimate of the effect's scale that agrees with experiment and to predict its possible limits following an increase in the number of electrodes that make up a multielectrode.     

Mechanistic investigation of the iridium-catalysed alkylation of amines with alcohols

The [Cp*IrCl(2)](2)-catalysed alkylation of amines with alcohols was investigated using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. A Hammett study involving a series of para-substituted benzyl alcohols resulted in a line with a negative slope. This clearly documents that a positive charge is built up in the transition state, which in combination with the measurement of a significant kinetic isotope effect determines hydride abstraction as being the selectivity-determining step under these conditions. A complementary Hammett study using para-substituted anilines was also carried out. Again, a line with a negative slope was obtained suggesting that nucleophilic attack on the aldehyde is selectivity-determining. A computational investigation of the entire catalytic cycle with full-sized ligands and substrates was performed using density functional theory. The results suggest a catalytic cycle where the intermediate aldehyde stays coordinated to the iridium catalyst and reacts with the amine to give a hemiaminal which is also bound to the catalyst. Dehydration to the imine and reduction to the product amine also takes place without breaking the coordination to the catalyst. The fact that the entire catalytic cycle takes place with all the intermediates bound to the catalyst is important for the further development of this synthetic transformation.     

Role of electric field on surface wetting of polystyrene surface

The role of surface charge in fluid flow in micro/nanofluidics systems as well as the role of electric field to create switchable hydrophobic surfaces is of interest. In this work, the contact angle (CA) and contact angle hysteresis (CAH) of a droplet of deionized (DI) water were measured with applied direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) electric fields. The droplet was deposited on a polystyrene (PS) surface, commonly used in various nanotechnology applications, coated on a doped silicon (Si) wafer. With the DC field, CA decreased with an increase in voltage. Because of the presence of a silicon oxide layer and a space charge layer, the change of the CA was found to be lower than with a metal substrate. The CAH had no obvious change with a DC field. An AC field with a positive value was applied to the droplet to study its effect on CA and CAH. At low frequency (lower than 10 Hz), the droplet was visibly oscillating. The CA was found to increase when the frequency of the applied AC field increased from 1 Hz to 10 kHz. On the other hand, the CA decreased with an increasing peak-peak voltage at or lower than 10 kHz. The CAH in the AC field was found to be lower than in the DC field and had a similar trend to static CA with increasing frequency. A model is presented to explain the data.     

On the mechanism of reaction of radicals with tirapazamine

Ketyl radicals produced by photolysis of ketones or di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) in alcohol solvents react rapidly with tirapazamine (TPZ). The acetone ketyl radical (ACOH) reacts with TPZ with an absolute second-order rate constant of (9.7 +/- 0.4) x 108 M-1 s-1. The reaction kinetics can be followed by monitoring the bleaching of TPZ absorption at 475 nm or the formation of a reaction product which absorbs at 320 and 410 nm. The ACOD radical reacts with TPZ in 2-propanol-OD with an absolute rate constant of (6.7 +/- 0.5) x 108 M-1 s-1, corresponding to a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) of 1.4. Deuteration of the radical on carbon (ACOH-d6) retards the reaction of the radical with TPZ even further (absolute rate constant = (4.8 +/- 0.04) x 108 M-1 s-1). This result corresponds to a KIE of 2.0. Radicals derived from dioxane and diisopropyl ether by flash photolysis of DTBP in ethereal solvent react with TPZ more slowly than do ketyl radicals. It is concluded that ketyl radicals react, in part, with TPZ in organic solvents by transfer of a hydrogen atom from the OH and CH3 groups of the ketyl radical to the oxygen atom at the N4 position of TPZ to form acetone or acetone enol and a radical derivative of TPZ (TPZH). The latter species absorbs at 320 and 405 nm, has a lifetime of hundreds of microseconds in alcohol solvents, and decays by disproportionation to form TPZ and a reduced heterocycle. The reduced heterocycle eventually forms a desoxytirapazamine by a polar mechanism. The results are supported by density functional theory calculations. It is proposed that dioxanyl radical will also react, in part, with TPZ by transfer of a hydrogen atom from the carbon adjacent to the radical center to the oxygen atom at the N4 position of TPZ. This produces the enol ether and the previously mentioned TPZH radical. It is further posited that ether radicals react a bit more slowly than ketyl radicals because they lack the second mode of hydrogen transfer (from the OH group) that is present in the ACOH radical. Our data are permissive of the possibility that ether radicals add to TPZ at a rate that is competitive with beta-hydrogen atom transfer.     

Mechanics of nanoindentation on a monolayer of colloidal hollow nanoparticles

We explore the collective mechanical behavior of monolayer assemblies composed of close-packed arrays of hollow silica nanoparticles using a spherical nanoindentor. Seven types of well-defined hollow nanoparticles are studied with their radii ranging from 100 to 300 nm and shell thickness ranging from 14 to 44 nm. Micromechanical models reveal the underlying deformation mechanisms during indentation, where the consecutive contacting of the indentor with an increasing number of nanoparticles results in a nonlinear increase in the indentation force with penetration depth. Each contacted hollow nanoparticle successively locally bends, flattens, and then locally buckles. The effective indentation modulus of the monolayer film, which is obtained by a Hertzian fit to the experimental data, is found to be proportional to the elastic modulus of the nanoparticle shell material and scales exponentially with the ratio of particle shell thickness t to radius R to the power of 2.3. Furthermore, we find that for a constant film density with the same (t)/(R) of the constituent nanoparticles, smaller particles with a thinner shell can provide a higher effective indentation modulus, compared to their larger diameter and thicker shell counterparts. This study provides useful insights and guidance for constructing high-performance lightweight nanoparticle films and coatings with potential applications in tailoring stiffness and mechanical energy absorption.     

Origin of strong chiroptical activities in films of nonafluorenes with a varying extent of pendant chirality

Novel nonafluorenes with a varying extent of pendant chirality were synthesized for an investigation of the origins of chiroptical activities in neat films. Thermal annealing of 4-microm-thick sandwiched films and of 90-nm-thick spin-cast films, all on surface-treated substrates, produced monodomain glassy films characterized as a right-handed cholesteric stack with a helical pitch length ranging from 180 to 534 nm and from 252 to 1151 nm, respectively. The observed strong circular dichroism (CD) and g(e) as functions of helical pitch length in single-substrate monodomain glassy cholesteric films were quantitatively interpreted with a circularly polarized fluorescence theory accounting for light absorption, emission, and propagation in a cholesteric stack. Although intertwined molecular helices were likely to be present, cholesteric stacking of rodlike molecules seemed to be the predominant contributor to the strong chiroptical activities. All the cholesteric stacks comprising a polydomain glassy film on an untreated substrate were found to contribute to CD and g(e) largely to the same extent as in a monodomain film. A circularly polarized blue organic light-emitting diode containing a nonafluorene film resulted in a g(e) of 0.35 with a luminance yield of 0.94 cd/A at 20 mA/cm(2), the best performance to date.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the pyridinolysis of phenacyl bromides in acetonitrile

Kinetic studies of the reactions of substituted phenacyl bromides (YC6H4COCH2Br) with pyridines (XC5H4N) are carried out in acetonitrile at 45.0 degrees C. A biphasic Bronsted plot is obtained with a change in slope from a large (betaX approximately equals 0.65-0.80) to a small (betaX approximately 0.36-0.40) value at pKa = 3.2-3.6, which can be attributed to a change in the rate-determining step from breakdown to formation of a tetrahedral intermediate in the reaction path as the basicity of the pyridine nucleophile increases. This mechanism is supported by the faster rates with pyridines than with anilines and the change of cross-interaction constant rhoXY from a large positive (rhoXY = +1.4) to a small positive (rhoXY approximately +0.1) value. The large magnitude of Hammett rhoX (= -5.5 to -6.9) values for the pyridines with electron-withdrawing substituents and positive deviations of the pi-acceptors, p-CH3CO and p-CN, are quite similar to those for the pyridinium ion formation equilibria. The activation parameters are also in line with the proposed mechanism.     

Calorimetric Study of the Bioremediation of a Polluted Soil

The calorimetric cells of a Setaram BT 2.15 flux calorimeter have been modified, in order to measure the heat production associated with microbial growth, with a continuous flow of gas and liquid through the sample. Good conditions for the growth of the microorganisms present in a polluted soil were determined and the possibility of the bioremediation examined. It was shown that the biodegradation of hydrocarbons adsorbed for a long time in the soil is a very slow process difficult to study with calorimetry. On the contrary, sodium succinate and different C₁₄ hydrocarbons were easily biodegradated, producing a large quantity of heat.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Measurement of acidity constants of benzothiadiazines by solvent extraction with use of a membrane phase-separator

For extraction studies a "filter-probe" porous Teflon membrane phase-separator is used in conjunction with a spectrophotometer fitted with a small-volume flow-cell and a peristaltic pump to measure absorbance of the organic phase as a function of aqueous phase pH. Acidity constants of monoprotic (HA) and diprotic (H(2)A) acid benzothiadiazines have been measured with the apparatus. Accurate pK(a), values for these compounds are difficult to measure by other techniques. Mixtures of n-octanol and chloroform in various proportions can be used as the organic phase in order to adjust the distribution coefficient of the neutral species to give optimum precision and accuracy in measurement of the pK(a) values.     

Chemical modification of the surface of a sulfonated membrane by formation of a sulfonamide bond

This paper describes a novel approach for the surface modification of a cation-exchange membrane, bearing sulfonate groups, by a cationic layer. The modification procedure involved the chlorosulfonation of the sulfonate groups of the base membrane with thionyl chloride, followed by a reaction with a diamine to yield a sulfonamide bond and a terminal amine. The latter could be quaternized by reaction with methyl iodide or protonated by soaking in acidic media. The membranes were characterized in detail by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies as well as elemental analysis to confirm that the above reactions occurred. The selectivity of these membranes toward the electrochemically assisted transport of protons versus Zn2+ metallic cations was determined during an electrodialysis in a two-compartment electrochemical cell. The data indicate a significant decrease of the transport of the metallic cations following modification of the membrane with the cationic layer. The later allows for the transport of protons from the catholyte to the anolyte compartment with much improved selectivity since the divalent cations are excluded from the membrane due to the electrostatic barrier of the cationic layer.     

Moment analysis of chromatographic behavior of superficially porous particles

Peak parking experiments were conducted to study the chromatographic behavior in a RPLC system consisting of a column packed with superficially porous C(18)-particles and a mixture of methanol and water (70/30, v/v). The values of the surface diffusion coefficient and the retention equilibrium constant of a column packed with superficially porous C(18)-particles were comparable to those of columns packed with a C(18)-silica monolith and full-porous C(18)-silica gel particles. The flow-rate dependence of HETP was hypothetically calculated by using moment equations to clarify the influence of the structural characteristics on the chromatographic behavior. The column efficiency of a column packed with the superficially porous particles is higher in the high flow-rate range than that with full-porous spherical particles. This is attributed to the smaller contribution of the intraparticulate mass transfer in the superficially porous particles to band broadening. The moment equations are effective for the quantitative analysis of chromatographic behavior of superficially porous particles.     

中国法上的行为能力宣告：制度内涵与解释论重塑

中国民法典编纂已经接近尾声,如何对民法典中的规则采取妥当的解释论立场是一个有待学界充分讨论的重要问题。结合《民法总则》行为能力宣告制度的分析,可以展示一种更加积极进取的理论立场。虽然《民法总则》关于行为能力宣告制度的规定与先前的规定差别不大,但通过条文的细致梳理,可以认为中国民法其实确立了有中国特色的二级制成年监护制度,区分了成年监护与成年照顾制度。在这一框架之下,通过法律解释的续造,可以在中国民法中构造出一个既尊重现行法,又符合世界发展潮流,而且能够有效应对中国老龄化趋势的制度体系。     

The effect of iodine on the peroxidation of carbonyl compounds

Peroxidation of ketones and aldehydes with iodine as a catalyst was studied. Ketones reacted with 30% aq hydrogen peroxide in the presence of 10 mol % of iodine to yield gem-dihydroperoxides in acetonitrile and hydroperoxyketals in methanol. The yield of hydroperoxidation of various cyclic ketones was 60-98%, including androstane-3,17-dione, while acyclic ketones were converted with a similar efficiency. Aromatic aldehydes were also converted to gem-dihydroperoxides with hydrogen peroxide and iodine as catalyst in acetonitrile and to hydroperoxyacetal in methanol, while the reactivity of aliphatic ones remained the same as in noncatalyzed reactions. tert-Butylhydroperoxide reacted in a similar manner, giving the corresponding perether derivatives. A study was also made of the relative kinetics of dihydroperoxidation from which the Hammet equation gave a reaction constant (rho) of -2.76, indicating the strong positive charge development in the transition state and the important role of rehybridization in the conversion of hydroperoxyhemiketal to gem-dihydroperoxide. In acetonitrile, the iodine catalyst is apparently able to discriminate between the elimination of a hydroxy, methoxy, and hydroperoxy group and addition of water, methanol, and H2O2 to a carbonyl group.     

Kinetics and mechanisms of chlorine dioxide oxidation of tryptophan

The reactions of aqueous ClO2 (*) and tryptophan (Trp) are investigated by stopped-flow kinetics, and the products are identified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and by ion chromatography. The rates of ClO2 (*) loss increase from pH 3 to 5, are essentially constant from pH 5 to 7, and increase from pH 7 to 10. The reactions are first-order in Trp with variable order in ClO2 (*). Below pH 5.0, the reactions are second- or mixed-order in [ClO2 (*)], depending on the chlorite concentration. Above pH 5.0, the reactions are first-order in [ClO2 (*)] in the absence of added chlorite. At pH 7.0, the Trp reaction with ClO2 (*) is first-order in each reactant with a second-order rate constant of 3.4 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) at 25.0 degrees C. In the proposed mechanism, the initial reaction is a one-electron oxidation to form a tryptophyl radical cation and chlorite ion. The radical cation deprotonates to form a neutral tryptophyl radical that combines rapidly with a second ClO 2 (*) to give an observable, short-lived adduct ( k obs = 48 s(-1)) with proposed C(H)-OClO bonding. This adduct decays to give HOCl in a three-electron oxidation. The overall reaction consumes two ClO2 (*) per Trp and forms ClO2- and HOCl. This corresponds to a four-electron oxidation. Decay of the tryptophyl-OClO adduct at pH 6.4 gives five initial products that are observed after 2 min and are separated by HPLC with elution times that vary from 4 to 17 min (with an eluent of 6.3% CH 3OH and 0.1% CH 3COOH). Each of these products is characterized by mass spectrometry and UV-vis spectroscopy. One initial product with a molecular weight of 236 decays within 47 min to yield the most stable product, N-formylkynurenine (NFK), which also has a molecular weight of 236. Other products also are observed and examined.     

Influence of structure and of tensile modulus of adhesive joint on mechanical strength of metal plates bonded by various epoxy resins

A double-lap, adhesive bonded joint, has been optimized with a fixed thickness of the core, in order to maximize the breaking force, and to obtain reproducible results. The shear profile, longitudinal, corresponds in the central region of the overlapping to classical theory, but is represented empirically, near the extremities, by the transversal shear in outer adherends. This furnishes an abscissa of the shear maximum in the joint, that compares with the location expected in a previous study and indicates also the critical level of shear, at the threshold of microcrack initiation, that compares with the breaking strength of the solid adhesive, in a similar manner for three different adhesives for which we observed a certain length of sheared joint with a cohesive fracture.     

Radiation copolymerization of vinyl acetate with the diethyl esters of maleic and fumaric acids

The radiation-induced copolymerization of vinyl acetate with diethyl maleate and with diethyl fumarate was investigated in the temperature range from ?40 to 90°C over a wide range of comonomer compositions. Both the rates of copolymerization and the molecular weights of the resulting copolymers were found to depend strongly on the initial comonomer compositions. The apparent activation energy was found to change at 13°C with an increase in temperature from a value of 1.76 kcal/mole to a value of 4.31 kcal/mole in the copolymerization with diethyl maleate, while in the case of the copolymerization with diethyl fumarate the apparent activation energy changed at 21°C from a value of 1.76 kcal/mole to a value of 5.98 kcal/mole. Scavenger studies indicate that a free-radical mechanism prevails over the entire temperature range investigated in the case of both copolymerizations.
