Study on the photodegradation and microbiological degradation of pirimicarb insecticide by using liquid chromatography coupled with ion-trap mass spectrometry

The intermediates of photodegradation and microbial degradation of pirimicarb insecticide were investigated by liquid chromatography coupled with ion-trap mass spectrometry (LC–IT-MS). Different intermediates were detected in the photodegradation and microbial degradation of pirimicarb. In the photodegradation of pirimicarb in aqueous solution 2-dimethylamino-5,6-dimethyl-4-hydroxypyrimidine (MW = 167), 2-methylamino-5,6-dimethylpyrimidin-4-yl-dimethylcarbamate (MW = 224) and 2-formylamino-5,6-dimethylpyrimidin-4-yl-dimethylcarbamate (MW = 252) were the main products. It was found that 2-dimethylamino-5,6-dimethyl-4-hydroxypyrimidine (MW = 167) was the major product in the microbial degradation of pirimicarb in soil.     

The first total synthesis of glycyrol

We report the first total synthesis of glycyrol. Glycyrol, isolated from Glycyrrhizae Radix, has a unique skeleton of a benzofuran coumarin. The key steps are Smiles rearrangement and selective introduction of prenyl and O-methyl groups. The first application of a novel precursor for Smiles rearrangement, 3-benzyloxy-substituted (diacetoxyiodo)benzene, showed the synthetic possibility for diverse precursors. The introduction of a benzyl protecting group was important because selective deprotection was hard due to the low solubility of intermediates.     

Generation and transmission of the double-sideband optical millimeter-wave with signal carried only by optical carrier

In this paper, we have proposed a new scheme to generate double-sideband (DSB) optical millimeter-wave (mm-wave) with signal carried only by optical carrier, and its transmission performance is investigated. The theoretical and numerical results show that the DSB optical mm-wave signal generated by our scheme suffers only from the fading effect, the time shift of the sidebands has little influence on its transmission performance. The signal demodulated from the harmonic photocurrent shows a clear and open eye diagram and has good performance even if the transmission distance is very close to but not just at the fading nodes. The theoretical results are in good agreement with our numerical simulation.     

Monotone method for a system of nonlinear mixed type implicit impulsive integro-differential equations in Banach spaces

In this paper, by using a monotone iterative technique in the presence of lower and upper solutions, we discuss the existence of solutions for a new system of nonlinear mixed type implicit impulsive integro-differential equations in Banach spaces. Under wide monotonicity conditions and the noncompactness measure conditions, we also obtain the existence of extremal solutions and a unique solution between lower and upper solutions.

Synthesis of MCM-41 supported amino-palladium complex and its catalytic performance for heck reaction

Using MCM-41 as the supporter, a series of MCM-41 supported amino-palladium complexes has been prepared and characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), etc. The XRD and XPS results indicate that the Pd coordinates with the -NH₂ groups on the MCM-41 surface, and the structure of MCM-41 has been not damaged. Its catalytic performance for Heck arylation of alkene with aryl iodide shows that the catalysts have high activity and stereoselectivity in 70–90°C. The product of Heck reaction is in E form. And the effect of the preparation condition of catalyst on the catalytic performance was examined. Translated form Chinese Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2008, 28(5) (in Chinese)
