Electron-transfer reduction of molecular oxygen (O2) by the phenolate anion (1-) of a vitamin E model, 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethylchroman-6-ol (1H), occurred to produce superoxide anion, which could be directly detected by a low-temperature EPR measurement. The rate of electron transfer from 1- to O2 was relatively slow, since this process is energetically unfavourable. The one-electron oxidation potential of 1- determined by cyclic voltammetric measurements is sufficiently negative to reduce 2,2-bis(4-tert-octylphenyl)-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DOPPH*) to the corresponding one-electron reduced anion, DOPPH-, suggesting that 1- can also act as an efficient radical scavenger. 相似文献
We have investigated the aggregation phenomena in a polydisperse colloidal dispersion composed of ferromagnetic particles by means of the cluster-moving Monte Carlo method. The results have been compared with those for a monodisperse system. The internal structures of aggregates have been analyzed in terms of the radial distribution function in order to clarify the quantitative differences in the internal structures of clusters. In addition, the cluster size distribution and angular distribution function have been investigated. The results obtained in the present study are summarized as follows. In a monodisperse system, open necklacelike clusters are formed and they extend with increasing strength of the magnetic particle-particle interaction. In a polydisperse system with a small standard deviation in the particle size distribution, sigma=0.2, larger necklacelike clusters are formed and some looplike clusters can also be observed. In a polydisperse system with a larger standard deviation, sigma=0.35, clumplike clusters are formed for a weak magnetic particle-particle interaction. For a stronger magnetic interaction, larger size clusters that exhibit a complicated network structure are formed. These complicated cluster formations found in a polydisperse system are mainly due to the effect of the presence of larger particles. 相似文献
The reaction promoted by Vilsmeier adduct derived from tosyl chloride (TsCl) with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was successfully applied to the preparation of copolyesteramides of high molecular weights directly from aromatic dicarboxylic acids, diamines, and bisphenols. The polycondensation was significantly affected by the reaction of activated dicarboxylic acids with bisphenols and diamines. Addition of a mixture of bisphenols and diamines likely caused gelation of the reaction mixtures, resulting in insoluble polymers, especially with high mol % diamines. Stepweise addition of them, however, gave the homogeneous reaction mixtures and copolymers of better solubility. These phenomena were studied in terms of sequence length distribution of polyester units, which was estimated by thermal analyses of the random copolymers prepared under various conditions for the initial reaction with bisphenols. 相似文献
The reaction of the quinoxaline N‐oxides 7a,b with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate gave the 1‐methylpyridazino[3,4‐b]quinoxaline‐4,4‐dicarboxylates 8a,b , whose reaction with N‐bromosuccinimide or N‐chlorosuccinimide afforded the 3‐halogeno‐1‐methylpyridazino[3,4‐b]quinoxaline‐4,4‐dicarboxylates 9a‐d. The reaction of compounds 9a‐d with hydrazine hydrate resulted in hydrolysis and decarboxylation to provide the 3‐halogeno‐1‐methylpyridazino[3,4‐b]quinoxaline‐4‐carboxylates 10a‐d , whose reaction with nitrous acid effected oxidation to furnish the 3‐halogeno‐4‐hydroxy‐1‐methylpyridazino[3,4‐b]quinoxaline‐4‐carboxylates 11a‐d , respectively. The reaction of compounds 11a‐d with hydrazine hydrate afforded the 3‐halogeno‐1‐methylpyridazino[3,4‐b]quinoxalin‐4‐ols 12a‐d , whose oxidation provided the 3‐halogeno‐1‐methylpyridazino[3,4‐b]quinoxalin‐4(1H)‐ones 6a‐d , respectively. Compounds 6a‐d had antifungal activities in vitro.相似文献
Seventy eight N(3)-substituted derivatives of uridine (1), thymidine (2), 2'-deoxyuridine (3), 6-azauridine (4), 2',3'-O-isopropylideneuridine (5), and arabinofuranosyluracil (6) were synthesized and their antinociceptive effects were evaluated. N(3)-(2',4'-Dimethoxyphenacyl)uridine (1l), N(3)-(2',4'-dimethoxyphenacyl)2'-deoxyuridine (3l), and N(3)-(2',5'-dimethoxyphenacyl)arabinofuranosyluracil (6m) possessed 93, 86, and 82% of the antinociceptive effects tested by hot plate, respectively. The antinociceptive effects of three derivatives were 5.8, 5.4, and 5.1-folds of the effect of N(3)-phenacyluridine (1h) (16%), respectively. The structure-activity relationship of N(3)-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides was also discussed. 相似文献
Photoinduced electron transfer from a variety of electron donors including alkylbenzenes to the singlet excited state of acridine and pyrene is accelerated significantly by the presence of scandium triflate [Sc(OTf)(3)] in acetonitrile, whereas no photoinduced electron transfer from alkylbenzenes to the singlet excited state of acridine or pyrene takes place in the absence of Sc(OTf)(3). The rate constants of the Sc(OTf)(3)-promoted photoinduced electron-transfer reactions (k(et)) of acridine to afford the complex between acridine radical anion and Sc(OTf)(3) remain constant under the conditions such that all the acridine molecules form the complex with Sc(OTf)(3). In contrast to the case of acridine, the k(et) value of the Sc(OTf)(3)-promoted photoinduced electron transfer of pyrene increases with an increase in concentration of Sc(OTf)(3) to exhibit first-order dependence on [Sc(OTf)(3)] at low concentrations, changing to second-order dependence at high concentrations. The first-order and second-order dependence of k(et) on [Sc(OTf)(3)] is ascribed to the 1:1 and 1:2 complexes formation between pyrene radical anion and Sc(OTf)(3). The positive shifts of the one-electron redox potentials for the couple between the singlet excited state and the ground-state radical anion of acridine and pyrene in the presence of Sc(OTf)(3) as compared to those in the absence of Sc(OTf)(3) have been determined by adapting the free energy relationship for the photoinduced electron-transfer reactions. The Sc(OTf)(3)-promoted photoinduced electron transfer from hexamethylbenzene to the singlet excited state of acridine or pyrene leads to efficient oxygenation of hexamethylbenzene to produce pentamethylbenzyl alcohol which is further oxygenated under prolonged photoirradiation of an O(2)-saturated acetonitrile solution of hexamethylbenzene in the presence of acridine or pyrene which acts as a photocatalyst together with Sc(OTf)(3). The photocatalytic oxygenation mechanism has been proposed based on the studies on the quantum yields, the fluorescence quenching, and direct detection of the reaction intermediates by ESR and laser flash photolysis. 相似文献
The structures of isobutene and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene have been studied by gas electron diffraction. For isobutene the rotational constants obtained by Laurie by microwave spectroscopy have also been taken into account. Leastsquares analyses have given the following rg bond distances and valence angles (rav for isobutene and rα for dimethylbutene): for isobutene, r(CC) = 1.342±0.003 Å, r(C-C)= 1.508±0.002Å, r(C-H, methyl) = 1.119±0.007 Å, r(C-H, methylene) = 1.095±0.020 Å, ∠(C-CC) = 122.2±0.2°, ∠(H-C-H) = 107.9±0.8°, and ∠(C-C-H) 121.3±1.5°; for dimethylbutene, r(CC)= 1.353 ±0.004 Å, r(C-C) = 1.511±0.002 Å, r(C-H) = 1.118± 0.004 Å, ∠(C-CC)= 123.9±0.5°, and ∠(H-C-H)= 107.0±1.0°, where the uncertainties represent estimated limits of experimental error. The bond distances and valence angles in these molecules and in related molecules are compared with one another. The CC and C-C bond distances increase almost regularly with the number of methyl groups, and the C-C bonds in isobutene and dimethylbutene are shorter than those in acetaldehyde and acetone by about 0.01 Å. Systematic variations in the C-CC angles suggest the steric influence of methyl groups. 相似文献
1-Chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides were synthesized from several kinds of cyclic ketones and chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide in good yields. Treatment of the 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides with cyanomethyllithium at −78°C to room temperature gave spirocyclic enaminonitriles in high yields. Acidic treatment of the enaminonitriles afforded spiro[4.n]alkenones in good yields. By using an unsymmetrical cyclic ketone, α-tetralone, and optically active chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, this procedure afforded enantiomerically pure spiro[4.5]decenone in good yield with excellent asymmetric induction from the sulfoxide chiral center. By using this method a formal total synthesis of a racemic spirocyclic sesquiterpene, acorone, was realized. 相似文献

An acid urease column was applied to a fluorometric flow-injection analysis (FIA) system as a recognition element for determination of urea in rice wines.
The acid urease has specific properties of showing its catalytic activity in low pH range and tolerance to ethanol in comparison to those of a urease from jack-beans. The enzymes were covalently immobilized onto porous glass beads with controlled pore size and then, packed into a small polymer column. The flow-type of the biosensing system was assembled with a sample injection valve, the immobilized enzyme column, and a flow-through quartz cell attached to a fluorescent spectrophotometer. Citrate buffer (50 mM, pH 5.0) as the carrier solution was continuously pumped through the system. Sample solutions were introduced into the system via a rotary injection valve. A standard urea solution was measured through monitoring variations in fluorescent intensity attributable to fluorescent isoindole derivatives formed by coupling with ammonia molecules released in the enzymatic hydrolysis of urea and orthophthalaldehyde reagents. The fluorescent intensity was measured under the conditions of λex = 415 nm and λem = 485 nm. A wide, linear relationship was obtained between the concentration of urea (1.0–100 μM) and the variation in fluorescent intensity. The monitoring did not suffer from ethanol and various amino acids contained in rice wines. Real samples pretreated with ion exchange resins for removal of endogenous ammonia were introduced into the FIA system and urea in the samples was determined. These results were compared with those obtained with use of an F-kit method. The proposed FIA system should present sensitive, selective and convenient analysis of urea in alcoholic beverages. 相似文献
