Phytochemicals from Echinacea and Hypericum: A Direct Synthesis of Isoligularone

Reaction of trienes with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes produces bicyclic products via a tandem Diels-Alder/ene reaction. The adduct from tiglic aldehyde was converted into isoligularone by conversion to a furan followed by benzylic oxidation.     

The photochemical reactions of the halogenated N-benzylanilines. Mechanism of the reactions

Several N-(2-halobenzyl)anilines and N-benzyl-2-haloanilines have been synthesized and their photochemical reactions studied. Upon irradiation, the aqueous acetonitrile solution of N-benzyl-2-chloroaniline was cyclized and reduced to give phenanthridine, 5,5′,6,6′-tetrahydro-6,6′-biphenanthridyl (THBP), N-ben-zylaniline, and bibenzyl. Similar products were produced in the photochemical reactions of other halo-genated N-benzylanilines, except iodo-substituted N-benzylanilines. No dimer (THBP) was produced from the iodo-substituted N-benzylanilines. Both singlet and triplet states are involved in the photochemical reactions of the haloarenes.     

Facile Ionic Liquids-Promoted One-Pot Synthesis of Polyhydroquinoline Derivatives under Solvent Free Conditions

In recent years, much attention has been directed towards the syntheses of 1,4-dihydropyridyl compounds due to the fact that 1,4-dihydropyridyl compounds possess a variety of biological activities.[1] In view of the importance of polyhydroquinoline derivatives, many classical methods for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives were reported[2] by conventional heating and refluxing approaches in the presence of organic solvent. These methods, however, involve long reaction time, harsh reaction conditions, the use of a large quantity of organic solvent and unsatisfactory yields. Therefore,improvements in such syntheses have been sought continuously.

A New β-Carboline Alkaloid and a New Derivate of Isoferulic Acid from Anemone altaica

A new β-carboline alkaloid, 4-（9H-β-carbolin-1-yl）-4-oxobutyric acid and a new derivate of isoferulic acid, （E）-3-（3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl）acrylic acid carboxymethyl ester, were isolated from the roots of Anemone altaica. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectral data.     

Stereoselective synthesis of (+)-SCH 351448: a unique ligand system for sodium, calcium, and other cations

(+)-SCH 351448 (Na+ salt A) was synthesized employing ring-closing olefin metathesis reaction of an open diene diester intermediate for construction of the 28-membered macrodiolide structure. The open diene diester was prepared from the monomeric hydroxy carboxylic acid and two different olefin fragments. The monomeric hydroxy acid was synthesized via Julia-Julia coupling reaction of intermediates derived from the same olefinic fragments. Oxane units in these fragments were prepared by radical cyclization reactions of beta-alkoxyacrylates. Analogous SCH 351448 salts incorporating other mono- and divalent cations may be prepared. Under acidic conditions, SCH 351448 (Na+ salt A) was the most stable complex, but SCH 351448 (Ca2+ salt) and (Na+ salt B) appear to be physiologically important species.     

晶态氮化碳薄膜的低温合成

The synthesis of carbon nitride films at low temperature has been investigated using pulsed arc discharge from methanol solution with nitrogen atmosphere. Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis suggest that crystalline carbon nitride films may be prepared at low substrate temperature (220 ℃). At same time, the substrate temperature has a significantly effect on the nitrogen content and structure of the films. Increasing substrate temperature (300 ℃) would decrease the content of nitrogen in the films and result in a formation of carbon films.     

Mesocellular polymer foams with unprecedented uniform large mesopores and high surface areas

Mesocellular polymer foams with uniform approximately 17 nm cellular pores were fabricated using mesocellular silica foams as inorganic templates. The mesocellular polymer foams have high surface areas up to approximately 600 m(2)g(-1) and pore volumes of 1.6 cm(3)g(-1).
