Imido-osmium(VIII) compounds in organic synthesis: aminohydroxylation and diamination reactions

Imido complexes of osmium tetroxide are versatile compounds for olefin functionalisation. This tutorial review offers a brief historical overview on these compounds and discusses the electronic properties and reactivities of isolated imido osmium compounds in what had been the original stoichiometric aminohydroxylation reaction. The recently emerging catalytic Sharpless aminohydroxylation is discussed with special emphasis on mechanistic details. The final section deals with diamination of olefins, which relies on the chemistry of bisimido and trisimido osmium complexes.     

CF2HCI在金属钨表面上的反应动力学

The unimolecular reaction of CF_2HCl on W filament has been studied. This reaction shows zero order at rather high pressure. The temperature threshold is about 440 ℃. The apparent activation energy of this reaction is 119.7 kJ mol~(-1) which is about a half of the activation energy for homogeneous unimolecular reaction of CF_2HCl, 233.5 kJ mol~(-1).     

Increased enantioselectivity in the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde by the use of chiral ligands containing the alpha-phenylethylamino group in combination with achiral ligands

Chiral ligands (S,S)-1, (S,S)-2, (S,S)-3, (S)-4, (S)-5, (S,S)-6, (S,S)-7, and (S,S)-8 turned out to be effective promoters in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. Interestingly, diamine (S,S)-3 and amino alcohols (S)-5 and (S,S)-7 induce the preferential formation of carbinol (R)-10 (unlike stereoinduction) whereas amido analogues (S,S)-2, (S)-4, and (S,S)-6 favor (S)-10 (like stereoinduction). Molecular modeling at the semiempirical PM3 level provided a reasonable interpretation based on conformational effects in the corresponding transition structures. Combinations of chiral ligands 1-8 with an achiral, flexible ligand (9) gave rise to an activated catalytic system that resulted in faster and higher yielding reactions. Furthermore, substantial increases in the observed enantiomeric excesses of product 10 confirmed the relevant role of achiral bis(sulfonamide) 9 as activator and "chiral environment amplifier".     

A continuous flow system design for simultaneous determination of heavy metals in river water samples

A new design of a continuous flow system applied to the simultaneous determination of the concentration of zinc(II), cadmium(II), lead(II), copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II) and chromium(VI) in river water is described. A flow cell made in the laboratory, which has been patented, based on a 'wall-jet' configuration with a three-electrode system is described. Optimum conditions for the determination of the metal ions are reported. The detection limits and relative standard deviation values were 4.01x10(-9) M and 0.078 for Zn(II), 1.76x10(-10) M and 0.056 for Cd(II), 4.69x10(-10) M and 0.134 for Pb(II), 2.29x10(-10) M and 0.138 for Cu(II), 1.61x10(-9) M and 0.093 for Ni(II), 1.91x10(-9) M and 0.113 for Co(II), and 1.35x10(-9) M and 0.081 for Cr(VI). The procedure was applied to a sample of water from the Arlanzón river and the results were compared with inductively coupled mass plasma spectrometry (ICP-MS) as reference method. The final aim of this work is to design a flow system, which can be automated.     

Surface-functionalized latex particles as controlling agents for the mineralization of zinc oxide in aqueous medium

Polystyrene latex particles modified at the surface with different hydrophilic functional groups were prepared by miniemulsion polymerization and used as controlling agents in the crystallization of zinc oxide from aqueous medium. The effects of the chemical nature of the surface functionalization and the latex concentration on the crystal growth, morphology, and crystalline structure of the resulting zinc oxide were analyzed. Micro- and submicrosized crystals with a broad variety of morphologies depending on the functionalization were obtained. Among the different latexes studied, the acrylic-acid-derived particles were shown to be a convenient system for further quantitative investigations. In this case, as the additive concentration increases, the length-to-width ratio (aspect ratio) of the crystals decreases systematically. Preferential adsorption of the latex particles onto the fast-growing faces {001} of ZnO is assumed to follow a Langmuir-type isotherm, and interaction of the adsorbed particles with the growth centers will reduce the growth rate in [001]. This leads to a quantitative relationship linking the aspect ratio to the latex concentration at constant diameter and surface chemistry of the latex. The dependence of the aspect ratio on charge density of the latex can also be modeled by an algorithm in which attractive forces between the latex particle and the ZnO surface are balanced against repulsive forces of an osmotic nature. The latter are associated with the confined volume between the crystal and latex particle surfaces.     

Investigation Driven by Network Pharmacology on Potential Components and Mechanism of DGS,a Natural Vasoprotective Combination,for the Phytotherapy of Coronary Artery Disease

Phytotherapy offers obvious advantages in the intervention of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), but it is difficult to clarify the working mechanisms of the medicinal materials it uses. DGS is a natural vasoprotective combination that was screened out in our previous research, yet its potential components and mechanisms are unknown. Therefore, in this study, HPLC-MS and network pharmacology were employed to identify the active components and key signaling pathways of DGS. Transgenic zebrafish and HUVECs cell assays were used to evaluate the effectiveness of DGS. A total of 37 potentially active compounds were identified that interacted with 112 potential targets of CAD. Furthermore, PI3K-Akt, MAPK, relaxin, VEGF, and other signal pathways were determined to be the most promising DGS-mediated pathways. NO kit, ELISA, and Western blot results showed that DGS significantly promoted NO and VEGFA secretion via the upregulation of VEGFR2 expression and the phosphorylation of Akt, Erk1/2, and eNOS to cause angiogenesis and vasodilation. The result of dynamics molecular docking indicated that Salvianolic acid C may be a key active component of DGS in the treatment of CAD. In conclusion, this study has shed light on the network molecular mechanism of DGS for the intervention of CAD using a network pharmacology-driven strategy for the first time to aid in the intervention of CAD.     

芪3在铅-锡-氟磷酸盐玻璃中的聚集及光谱特性

采用低温熔融法制备了有机染料芪3掺杂的不同浓度的铅-锡-氟磷酸盐玻璃,通过对掺杂玻璃激发光谱、发射光谱和吸收光谱的测试,研究了芪3在无机玻璃中的聚集状态和光谱性能。 结果表明,有机染料芪3以单体和二聚物的形式共存于无机玻璃中,和芪3单体分子的激发峰相比,二聚物的激发峰位于短波段,随掺杂浓度的增加,掺杂玻璃的发射峰发生红移,同时在荧光光谱中观察到浓度猝灭现象;芪3分子与无机玻璃通过亲水作用发生了键合,从而导致芪3在无机玻璃中的吸收光谱和发射光谱比在乙醇溶液中出现较大红移;与芪3在乙醇溶液中的荧光强度相比,芪3分子受无机玻璃的“笼”化作用有效的提高了其荧光强度。
