Growth of ZSM-5 crystals within hollow β-zeolite

A zeolite composite composed of ZSM-5 andβ-zeolites has been synthesized by a procedure of the nucleation and crystallization of ZSM-5 zeolite in the hollowβ-zeolite.The property ofβ-zeolite crystals with aluminum-poor interior and aluminum-rich outer rim results in silicon extraction favorably in the aluminum-poor bulk rather than the aluminum-rich external surface.Subsequently,alkaline treatment ofβ-zeolite crystals during the second-step synthesis leads to a preferential dissolution of the aluminum-poor center and the formation of hollowβ-zeolite crystals.ZSM-5 zeolite crystals are therefore embedded and grown within the hollowβ-zeolite.The catalytic activities of Co-Hβ,Co-HZSM-5 and Co-HZSM-5/BEA are investigated during the reaction of methane catalytic reduction NO in the presence of O₂.

WAXD STUDY OF POLYMORPHOUS ISOTACTICPOLYPROPYLENE BY COMPUTER PEAK-RESOLUTION METHOD

Polymorphous i-PP containing a and βphases were studied by WAXD and computer peak-resolution method (CPRM). The asymmetric Gaussian-Cauchy functions (a-GC) were adoptedto fit the profiles of both amorphous and crystalline peaks. For the crystalline peaks, the fitting resultsof a-GC are better than the symmetric-GC; for the amorphous peaks, they are better than polynomialand exponential functions, etc. Using the retarded least-square procedure (RLSP) on microcom-puter the results of peak-resolution are rather satisfatory. For the polymorphous samples containingαand βphases, the relations between phase-state, crystallinity, crystalline size, the ratio of α,βrelativecontent and the crystallization temperature T_c were studied by CPRM. The ratio of α,βrelativecontents obtained by CPRM and Turner-Jones eq. have been carefully compared. There are manyimprovements in this work. A simple estimation method of WAXD peak areas, both for amorphousand crystalline peaki, is suggested.

A Novel β-1, 4-N, 6-O-Diacetylmuramidase from Streptomyces griseus and its Chemical Modification

A novel lysozyme namedβ-1, 4-N, 6-O-diacetylmuramidase R2 was purified and characterized from Streptomyces griseus. The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined by MALDI-TOF-MS as 23.5 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence was DTSGVQGIDVS-HWQG.Chemical modification ofβ-1, 4-N, 6-O-diacetylmuramidase R2 indicated that sulfhydry1 group and carbamidine of arginine residues are not essential for the activity of the enzyme, but lysine residues and imidazole of histidine residues are essential for the activity. The number of essential tryptophan and carboxyl groups was found that only one tryptophan residue and three carboxyl groups in the active site.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of (Z)-α,β-Unsaturated Ketones via Hydromagnesiation of Alkynylsilanes

α,β-Unsaturated ketones are important synthetic intermediates because of their versatile reactivities and many syn-thetic applications of them have been reported in the literature.[1] However, only a few methods for the synthesis of (Z)-α,β-unsaturated ketones are available. The palladium catalyzed coupling reactions of alkenyl copper reagents with acid chlorides afforded (Z)-α,β-unsaturated ketones.[2] The phase transfer catalyzed hydroacylation of allenes with carbon monoxide, decacarbonyldimanganese and methyl iodide gave (Z)-α,β-unsaturated ketones in a stereospecific process.     

Metal-amyloid-β peptide interactions: a preliminary investigation of molecular mechanisms for Alzheimer’s disease

Although humans have spent exactly 100 years combating Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the molecular mechanisms of AD remain unclear. Owing to the rapid growth of the oldest age groups of the popula-tion and the continuous increase of the incidence of AD, it has become one of the crucial problems to modern sciences. It would be impossible to prevent or reverse AD at the root without elucidating its molecular mechanisms. From the point of view of metal-amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) interactions, we review the molecular mechanisms of AD, mainly including Cu2 and Zn2 inducing the aggregation of Aβ, cata-lysing the production of active oxygen species from Aβ, as well as interacting with the ion-channel-like structures of Aβ. Moreover, the development of therapeutic drugs on the basis of metal-Aβ interactions is also briefly introduced. With the increasingly rapid progress of the molecular mechanisms of AD, we are now entering a new dawn that promises the delivery of revolutionary developments for the control of dementias.

CoFe2O4自形成磁性液体场致结构化对磁化的影响

The Langevin paramagnetic theory can’t describe the relation between magnetization of ferrofluids and applied magnetic field. The structuralization of ferrofluids, which is considered the main influence factor of the magnetization, is regarded. The part of magnetization works is deposited when the structure is forming. This action influences the magnetization of ferrofluids directly or indirectly. On the base of the “compressing” model, the Langevin function that usually describes the magnetization of ferrofluid is modified, and a well-fitted curve is obtained. An equation of the relation between the equivalent volume fraction after being “compressed” and the intensity of magnetic field is discovered, which approximately describes the process of magnetization. The relation between the approximate initial susceptibility and the volume fraction can be obtained from modified formula.

A general and convenient synthesis of 4-(tosylmethyl)semicarbazones and their use in amidoalkylation of hydrogen,heteroatom, and carbon nucleophiles

A general synthesis of previously unknown semicarbazone-based α-amidoalkylating reagents, 4-(tosylmethyl)semicarbazones, has been developed. The synthesis involved three-component condensation of semicarbazones of aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes with the same or other aldehydes and p-toluenesulfinic acid. The scope and limitations of this reaction were investigated. The compounds obtained were demonstrated to be an efficient α-(4-semicarbazono)alkylating agents. They were reacted with H- (sodium borohydride), O- (sodium methylate), S- (sodium phenylthiolate), N- (pyrrolidine, sodium succinimide), P- (trialkyl phosphites), and C-nucleophiles (sodium diethyl malonate) to give the corresponding products of the tosyl group substitution, 4-substituted semicarbazones, including analogues of nitrofurazone. Among the prepared compounds tested in vitro for antibacterial and antifungal activity, three nitrofuryl-containing semicarbazones exhibited high biological activities with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 8–32 μg/mL.     

Sulfur-directed metal-free and regiospecific methyl C(sp3)–H imidation of thioanisoles

Regiospecific and direct imidation of the methyl C(sp³)–H bond of thioanisoles is realized under mild and metal-free conditions with N-fluorobis(benzenesulfonyl)imide as an oxidant and nitrogen source. Proposed mechanism suggests that thionium ion intermediates and a Pummerer-type reaction are involved. The imidation has advantages such as high step-economy, excellent functionality tolerance, and regiospecificity, giving structurally diverse imidation products.     

Synthesis of novel chiral bidentate hydroxyalkyl-N-heterocyclic carbene ligands and their application in palladium-catalyzed Mizoroki–Heck couplings and asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde

A small library of new chiral bidentate hydroxyalkyl-imidazolium salts 1 is conveniently synthesized on multi-gram scale from inexpensive and commercially available chiral pool amino acids. The corresponding carbenes, generated by deprotonation of imidazolium salts 1, in combination with palladium(II) chloride were tested in the Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction. The most significant results in terms of yields and reactivities were achieved with low catalyst loading. The catalytic activities of these imidazolium salts were also investigated in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The use of MgO nanoparticles as an additive in conjunction with these ligands played a crucial role in increasing the efficiency of these reactions.
