Anticancer agent development: X-ray crystal structure and keto-enol tautomerism of dimethyl 1-hydroxy-6,7-methylenedioxy-4-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl-trans-3,4-dihydronaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylate

Structural and conformational information obtained from the crystal structure and solution¹H nmr investigations of the title compound are compared. The 4-aryltetralone, C₂₄H₂₄O₁₀, crystallizes as a chloroform solvate in the monoclinic space group, P2₁/n, witha=12.519(4),b=17.938(6),c=12.534(9)Å,=111.90(5)°, and D_calc=1.51 g cm^–3 forZ=4. The data for this compound were collected at –150°C. Least-squares refinement of 2796 observed [F _o5(F _o)] reflections led to the final agreement index ofR=0.062. A threefold static disorder was observed for one of the carboxyl groups. The second carboxyl group participates in an intramolecular hydrogen bond and is thus ordered. The¹H nmr spectrum revealed the title compound to exist as a keto-enol tautomeric mixture in solution. Vicinal hydrogen coupling constant analysis proved reliable in ascertaining B-ring stereochemistry of 2,3-disubstituted-4-aryltetralones.     

Synthesis of molecular sieve AlPO4-12

A member of the novel family of crystalline microporous aluminophosphates, AlPO₄-12, was synthesized by hydrothermal crystallization using different aluminum-containing compounds. Three new crystalline phases were obtained by varying the composition of the reaction mixture. The effect of the synthesis conditions on the hudrothermal process and the kinetics of crystallization are discussed. The apparent activation energies obtained for AlPO₄-12 are 20.9 and 14.6 kcal/mol for nucleation and crystallization, respectively. The adsorption isotherms of one AlPO₄-12 product were measured.

Synthesis of polypiperazine-amide thin-film membrane on PPESK hollow fiber UF membrane

A new interfacial polymerization (IP) procedure is developed in order to synthesize polypiperazine-amide thin-film membrane on the inner surface of poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) (PPESK) hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) membrane.A hollow fiber composite membrane with good performance was prepared and studied by FT-IR and scanning electron microscopy.     

FT–IR spectroscopic study on the photo- and photooxidative degradation of nylons

The progress of photo- and photooxidative degradation of nylon films were studied by FT–IR spectroscopy. The gases evolved from the photolysis of various nylons and their model amides were also analyzed. The formation of double bonds, changes of crystallinity, and the effect of amino and carboxyl end groups has been studied and discussed. The band shapes of the IR spectra pertaining to the carbonyl groups formed by thermal oxidation or photooxidation were found to be very similar, suggesting that the two oxidation mechanisms might be similar. The broadness of these bands indicates that the carbonyl groups may belong to more than one species. The photodegradation of nylons containing purposely inserted carbonyl groups formed ? CH?CH₂ groups. Carbonyl groups formed during oxidation, and present either as keto groups or part of N-acylamide units make nylons susceptible to degradation reactions entailing mainly a Norrish type II mechanism.

A new asterosaponin named novaeguinoside A, along with a known saponin, asteronyl pentaglycoside sulfate, was isolated from the starfish Culcita novaeguineae. The new compound was identitied to be sodium 6α-O-{β-D-fucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-fucopyranosyl-(1→4)-[β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-[β-D-quinovopyranosyl}-5α-pregn-9(11)-en-20-one-3β-yl-sulfate by extensive spectral analysis and chemical evidence.

A new triterpenoid saponin, loniceroside C was isolated from the aerial parts of Lonicera japonica. Its structure was established to be 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl hederagenin 28-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->6)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester by spectroscopic techniques and chemical transformations. Loniceroside C showed in vivo antiinflammatory activity against mouse ear edema provoked by croton oil.     

典型钙/镁基吸附剂对二氧化硒吸附特性研究

针对钙/镁基矿物吸附剂的主要组分CaO、CaCO₃、MgO在500-800 ℃下对Se的吸附特性进行研究，并选取天然矿物方解石、白云石研究其对Se的吸附效果，且对矿物煅烧所得CaO进行吸附实验。结果表明，三种组分中CaO的吸附效果最佳，800 ℃时单位质量CaO对Se的吸附量可达368 mg/g。CaCO₃对Se的吸附在700 ℃时效果最佳且其吸附产物的热稳定性较好。镁基吸附剂仅在中温段对Se具有一定吸附效果。方解石对Se的吸附效果随温度变化趋势与CaCO₃相似，因其较好的孔隙结构，吸附效果略优于CaCO₃。煅烧方解石得到的F-sor对Se的吸附效果优于CaO和CaCO₃煅烧得到的C-sor，这与其良好的比表面积、孔隙结构与抗烧结能力有关，且F-sor吸附产物的热稳定性相对较好。F-sor对Se的吸附量最高可达403 mg/g。
