A new reaction for the direct conversion of 4-azido-4-deoxy-D-galactoside into a 4-deoxy-D-erythro-hexos-3-ulose

[reaction: see text] A new one-step reaction has been developed for converting 4-azido-4-deoxy-d-galactoside into 4-deoxy-d-erythro-hexos-3-ulose by phosphoramidites and tetrazole. It is proposed that the new reaction proceeds via an intramolecular Staudinger reaction of the phosphite intermediate and a tetrazole-catalyzed elimination reaction of the resultant phosphorimidate. Tetrazole appears to be playing a unique role by acting as a bifunctional catalyst to facilitate the elimination reaction.     

Constituents of Leaves of Tetradium Glabrifolium

Twenty-nine compounds including three alkaloids, live triterpenoids, five coumarins, seven benzenoids, two tannins, five flavonoids, one sugar and one nucleoside are isolated from leaves of Tetradium glabrifolium. Their structures are characterized on comparison of spectral data with literature values.     

Selective oxidation of isobutane over Mo-V-Te mixed oxide catalysts with different tellurium contents

A series of MoV_0.3Te_x (x = 0−0.3) mixed oxides were prepared and investigated for the selective oxidation of isobutane. Among them, MoV_0.3Te_0.23 showed the best methacrolein and methacrylic acid selectivity (as high as 17% and 16%, respectively), and the yield to methacrolein and methacrylic acid reached 3.6% and 3.5%, respectively, at 21.3% isobutane conversion at 440°C.     

Decolorization of AZO dyes using catalytic ozonation

Decolorization of C.I. Reactive Red 2 (RR2) and C.I. Acid Orange 6 (AO6) using a catalytic ozonation system was evaluated. The decolorization rates for RR2 and AO6 were accelerated by at least 30% by adding MnO₂ to the O₃ system; additionally, the decolorization rate increased as the MnO₂ dosage and ozone power consumption increased. Enhanced MnO₂ catalytic ozonation was more apparent for AO6 than for RR2.     

Thermostability of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cromobacterium viscosum</Emphasis> lipase in AOT/isooctane reverse micelle

The thermostability of Cromobacterium viscosum lip ase (EC 3.1.1.3) entrapped in AOT (sodium bis-[2-ethylhexyl] sulfosuccinate) reverse micelles was in creased by the addition of short-chain polyethylene glycol (PEG 400). Two different approaches were considered: (1) the determination of half-life time and (2) the mechanistic analysis of deactivation kinetics. The half-life of lipase entrapped in AOT/isooctane reverse micelles with PEG 400 at 60°C was 28h, ninefold higher than that in reverse micelles without PEG 400. The lip ase entrapped in both reverse micellar systems followed a series-type deactivation mechanism involving two first-order steps. The deactivation constant for the first step at 60°C in PEG containing reverse micelles was 0.055 h¹¹, 11-fold lower than that in reverse micelles without PEG, whereas it remained almost constant for the second step. The inactivation energy of the lip ase entrapped in reverse micelles with and without PEG 400 was 88.12 and 21.97 kJ/mol, respectively.     

Contractions with a unilateral shift summand are reflexive

If T is a contraction on the Hilbert space H and there is an invariant subspace K for T such that T/K is similar to a backward shift, then T is reflexive. If similarity is replaced by quasi-similarity, then the same conclusion holds under the additional condition that the defect index of T be finite.This research was partially supported by National Science Council (Republic of China).     

Differentiation and quantitation of isomeric dipeptides by low-energy dissociation of copper(II)-bound complexes

Application of the kinetic method based on the dissociation of transition metal centered cluster ions is extended from chiral analysis (Tao, W. A.; Zhang, D.; Nikolaev, E. N.; Cooks, R. G. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 10598) to quantitative analysis of isomeric mixtures, including those with Leu/Ile substitutions. Copper(II)-bound complexes of pairs of peptide isomers are generated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and the trimeric complex [CuII(ref)2(A) - H]+ (analyte A, a mixture of isomeric peptides; reference compound ref, usually a peptide) is caused to undergo collisional dissociation. Competitive loss of the neutral reference compound or the neutral analyte yields two ionic products and the ratio of rates of the two competitive dissociations, viz. the product ion branching ratio R is shown to depend strongly on the regiochemistry of the analyte in the precursor [CuII(A)(ref)2 - H]+ complex ion. Calibration curves are constructed by relating the branching ratio measured by the kinetic method, to the isomeric composition of the mixture to allow rapid quantitative isomer analysis.     

Interaction of morin-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide with nucleic acids and determination of nucleic acids at nanograms per milliliter levels based on the enhancement of preresonance light scattering

A new preresonance light scattering (PRLS) assay of nucleic acids is presented. At pH 7.30, the weak PRLS of morin-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB) can be greatly enhanced by the addition of nucleic acids, owing to the interaction between the nucleic acid and morin-CTMAB. After the addition of morin and CTMAB to DNA, the zeta potential of DNA decreases and changes from negative to positive, which is due to the formation of an associate, the aggregation of morin on nucleic acids and the electric neutralization between DNA and the cationic surfactant CTMAB. Mechanism studies showed that the enhanced PRLS comes from the aggregation of morin in the presence of nucleic acids and CTMAB. The enhanced intensity of PRLS is in proportion to the concentration of nucleic acids in the range 7.5 x 10(-9)-1.0 x 10(-5) g ml(-1) for calf thymus DNA, 7.5 x 10(-9)-1.0 x 10(-6) g ml(-1) for salmon sperm DNA and 1.0 x 10(-8)-1.0 x 10(-6) g ml(-1) for yeast RNA. The detection limits are 3.4, 6.2 and 4.1 ng ml(-1) for calf thymus DNA, salmon sperm DNA and yeast RNA, respectively. Synthetic samples were analyzed satisfactorily.
