Utilization of hypervalent iodine in organic synthesis: A novel and facile two‐step protocol for the synthesis of new derivatives of 1H‐Imidazo[1,2‐b]pyrazole by the cyclocondensation involving α‐Tosyloxyacetophenones

A series of new 2‐aryl‐7‐cyano/ethoxycarbonyl‐6‐methylthio‐1H‐imidazo[1,2‐b]pyrazoles ( 5 ) have been synthesized in moderate to good yields, via a two‐step cyclocondensation procedure of 5‐amino‐4‐cyano/ethoxycarbonyl‐3‐methylthio‐1H‐pyrazole ( 1 ) and α‐bromoacetophenones ( 3 ) or α‐tosyloxyacetophenones ( 2 ), which were prepared by the reactions of acetophenones with [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene (HTIB). The intermediates, 5‐amino‐1‐(aroylmethyl)‐4‐ cyano/ethoxycarbonyl‐3‐methylthio‐1H‐pyrazoles ( 4 ), have been isolated, serving as evidence for the regioselectivity. When utilizing α‐tosyloxy‐acetophenones, the reactions were more eco‐friendly, the reaction time was significantly reduced and the synthetic procedure was more convenient and easier to manipulate. Surprisingly, using potassium carbonate to displace sodium carbonate in the synthesis of 4 , in the case of 1 (R? CN), two novel cyclocondensation products have been isolated and fully characterized, followed by the proposal of a plausible mechanism.     

Changes in the composition of volatile monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes of Pinus armandi, P. tabulaeformis, and P. bungeana in Northwest China

The volatile mono-and sesquiterpenes obtained from the needles and resin of Pinus armandi, P. tabulaeformis, and P. bungeana growing in the Qinling, Taibai, and Huanglong Mountain forest ecosystem were analyzed by means of GC-MS. Forty-eight constituents were identified, and α-pinene, β-pinene, 1R-α-pinene, β-caryophyllene, cadindiene, α-caryophyllene, D-limonene, and 1S-β-pinene were the major components of the mono-and sesquiterpenes in the needles and resin. The components of the volatile mono-and sesquiterpenes from the needles and resin at Qinling, Taibai, and Huanglong Mountains had remarkable differences in three pine species, whereas the monopertene content such as α-pinene, β-pinene, D-limonene, and camphene were mostly changed in the growing stage. The intraspecies variation in the different ecosystems can be attributed to the species’ geography and genetic variation, and even the adaptation of the pine species to different ecological environments. Moreover, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes can be induced by the attack of bark beetles, of which the α-pinene, β-pinene, 1R-α-pinene, 1S-α-pinene, b-myrecene, and β-caryophyllene contents had positive relations with the attacking Dendroctonus armandi and D. valens.

A new gas chromatographic stationary phase: Polysiloxane with β-cyclodextrin side chain for the separation of chiral and positional isomers

Summary A new stationary phase [bikis(2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-hex-6-enyl)-pentakis(2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-methyl)-β-CD-polysiloxane] was synthesized and successfully applied in GC for the separation of chiral and achiral isomers. It possesses high column efficiency and exhibits excellent separation ability for disubstituted benzenes. Some typical enantiomers and optical isomers are well separated. The separation behavior of this new phase is characterized and discussed.     

Investigation on the Extraction Mechanism of Au（I） from Cyanide Solution with Quaternary Ammonium System

During the past decades, there has been a renewed interest in the application of solvent extraction to the recovery of Au (I) from cyanide solutions1,2. Among those various extractants, the amine extractants with the addition of organic phosphorus oxide as cosolvent have been widely investigated3,4. Various diluents and modifiers have been selected to optimize the extraction system so as to increase the loading capacity, improve the selectivity and/or reduce emulsification5. Quaternary amm…     

3—Mercaptopropionic Acid Capped Gold Nanoclusters：Quantized Capacitance in Aquesous Media

3-Mercaptopropionic acid monolayer protected gold nanoclusters (MPA-MPCs) were synthesized and characterized by transmission electorn microscopy,UV-Vis spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourler transform infrared spectroscopy.The exact value of quantized double-layer capacitance of MPCs in aqueous media was obtained by differential pulse voltammograms.     

Optimizing the quadruple-potential waveform for the pulsed amperometric detection of neomycin

Determination of neomycin is important for quality control of the pharmaceutical preparation. A quadruple-potential waveform used for pulsed amperometric detection of neomycin was investigated. The waveform cleans the electrode by application of a potential more negative than the potential limit to avoid the formation of gold oxide during applying positive potential to clean gold electrode, thus decreasing the dissolution resulting recession of the gold working electrode within gold oxide formation/reduction cycles in the triple-potential waveform. Waveform parameters were optimized to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). The detection limit of neomycin B is lower than 0.01 microg/ml. The linearity of framycetin (plotted as peak area of neomycin B) ranges from 0.05 to 100 microg/ml with correlation coefficient 0.9998. R.S.D. (n = 60) of the peak area of neomycin B is lower than 2%. The quadruple-potential waveform shows low detection limits and long-term reproducibility.     

微波辅助溶剂热合成In-Si共改性TiO2的增强光催化性能

利用微波辅助溶剂热法合成了In-Si 共改性的TiO₂ 光催化剂. 粉末X 射线衍射（XRD）、激光拉曼（Raman）光谱、N₂吸脱附（BET）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、光致发光（PL）光谱和紫外-可见漫反射光谱（UV-VisDRS）等实验表明,尽管掺杂和改性后TiO₂结晶度略有降低,但不影响光催化剂锐钛相的形成. Si 掺杂入TiO₂晶格使颗粒变小,比表面积变大. In 不能进入TiO₂晶格,在TiO₂表面形成了In₂O₃. 罗丹明B（RhB）降解实验显示,In-Si 共改性TiO₂表现出很高的紫外和可见光催化活性,Si：In：Ti 的摩尔比为0.03：0.02：1 的样品（IST-2）光催化活性最高,紫外光下3 min 即可将RhB降解完全,可见光下120 min RhB降解率为97%,这是由材料的高表面积,In₂O₃-TiO₂复合半导体之间高效电荷转移及染料敏化等共同作用所致. 对于苯酚,光催化降解则相对缓慢,700 min内尚不能降解完全.
