三羟甲基十一烷的合成与表征

三羟甲基烷烃是用于醇酸树脂、聚氨酯树脂、表面活性剂、合成润滑油等的原料[1-3].三羟甲基十一烷(化学结构见图1)作为三羟甲基烷烃中直碳链最长的一员,不仅具有亲水性(分子中含三个亲水基),而且具有疏水性(含一个长直碳链亲油基),因此可用作表面活性剂.不仅如此,与同样用作乳化剂的一般高级脂肪醇(如十六烷醇)相比,可以在化妆品用的乳液中加入三羟甲基十一烷作乳化剂,以降低乳液的黏度,防止乳液中由于大量加入高级脂肪醇而导致产品黏度过高以至不能在皮肤上被充分涂抹开的状况发生[4].为制备智能芳香缓释型聚氨酯微胶囊壳材[5],需要设计聚氨酯的分子结构中含有能与相变石腊和油溶性香料有良好相容性的疏水链(三羟甲基十一烷与六亚甲基二异氰酸酯的加成物).因此,本文合成并表征了三羟甲基十一烷.

The photophysical properties of all the complexes have been studied and a comparison is made between the heterobimetallic and corresponding monometallic and homobimetallic complexes. Emission and transient absorption spectral studies reveal that excited state energy transfer from the rhenium(I) chromophore (∗Re) to osmium(II) takes place. The energy transfer rate constant is found to be 8.7 × 10⁷ s⁻¹.

Synthesis, characterization and photophysics of alkyne bridged bimetallic rhenium(I) and ruthenium(II) complexes

Six new homobimetallic and heterobimetallic complexes of rhenium(I) and ruthenium(II) bridged by ethynylene spacer [(CO)₃(bpy)Re(BL)Re(bpy)(CO)₃]²⁺ [Cl(bpy)₂Ru(BL)Ru(bpy)₂Cl]²⁺ and [(CO)₃(bpy)Re(BL)Ru(bpy)₂Cl]²⁺ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, BL = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)acetylene (bpa) and 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)butadiyne (bpb) are synthesized and characterized. The electrochemical and photophysical properties of all the complexes show a weak interaction between two metal centers in heterobimetallic complexes. The excited state lifetime of the complexes is increased upon introduction of ethynylene spacer and the transient spectra show that this is due to delocalization of electron in the bridging ligand. Also, intramolecular energy transfer from *Re(I) to Ru(II) in Re–Ru heterobimetallic complexes occurs with a rate constant 4 × 10⁷ s⁻¹.     

Synthesis of light alkenes on manganese promoted iron and iron-cobalt Fischer-Tropsch catalysts

The Perkin reaction is accompanied by competitive transformations of the intermediate carbanions. These transformations are found to be inhibited by the reacting aldehydes.

First Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Salinosporamides D and I Using Memory of Chirality and Dynamic Kinetic Resolution

The first total synthesis of (−)-salinosporamide D was achieved using d -serine as the sole chiral source. This approach stands out for its application of the principles of memory of chirality and dynamic kinetic resolution in the intramolecular aldol reaction of serine-derived oxazolidines. These strategies enabled the rapid construction of a pyrrolidinone core and installation of contiguous stereocenters. The key intermediate was readily obtained, culminating the asymmetric total synthesis of salinosporamide D. The total synthesis of salinosporamides A and I was also achieved using the same chemistry.     

Synthesis,characterization, structural investigation,and antimicrobial studies of mononuclear Zn(II), Cd(II), and Ag(I) complexes of an N3O Schiff base

An N₃O Schiff base (L), 1?:?1 condensate of benzil monohydrazone and 4-pyridine carboxaldehyde, and its Zn(II), Cd(II), and Ag(I) complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses and various spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structures of [ZnL₂Br₂] (1), [CdL₂I₂]·CH₂Cl₂, (2)·CH₂Cl₂, and [Ag(L)₂]ClO₄ (3) have been determined using X-ray crystallography. The Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes show a tetrahedral configuration whereas in the asymmetric unit of 3, two independent coordination units of Ag(I) are present. Carbonyl–silver interaction, weak C–H?O interaction, and also π–π interaction are present in 3 in the solid state. The synthesized complexes have antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae 114, Escherichia coli K88, Salmonella typhi ATCC 34, Bacillus subtilis UC564, and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923. The results showed that in some cases the antibacterial activities of the complexes were comparable to standard antibiotics Tetracycline and Streptomycin. The antifungal activities of the complexes were also studied for Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium notatum, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. MIC values of 1, 2·CH₂Cl₂, and 3 are less than the Nystatin standard.

The electrochemical properties show that there is a weak interaction between two metal centers in Mn–Ru heterobimetallic complexes. The photophysical behavior of all the complexes is studied. The Mn(I) monometallic and homobimetallic complexes have no detectable emission. In Mn–Ru heterobimetallic complexes, the attachment of Mn(I) with Ru(II) provides interesting photophysical properties.
