Reducing sugars are determined in the concentration range 10 ˜ 100 μg/ml using 3:6-dinitrophthalic acid as a colour developing agent. Individual pentoses, hexoses, and disaccharides give the same calibration curves, respectively. Sucrose is also determined in the presence of glucose or fructose. 相似文献
[reaction: see text] The one-pot construction of polycyclic aromatic systems from acyclic ene-bis(propargyl alcohols) was achieved through a tandem dual [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement/6pi-electrocyclic reaction/intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition sequence. A steroidal compound was conveniently synthesized using the present method. 相似文献
[reaction: see text] Spirocyclic C-arylribosides were synthesized from the known gamma-ribonolactone derivative. Lithium acetylide addition followed by glycosylation with 3-(trimethylsilyl)propargyl alcohol converted the ribonolactone to silylated diynes. After desilylation or iodination, subsequent ruthenium-catalyzed cycloaddition of resultant diynes with alkynes or chloroacetonitrile gave spirocyclic C-arylribosides. 相似文献
[reaction: see text] The novel [RhCl(CO)(2)](2)-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of allenenes leading to the bicyclo[4.3.0]non-1(9)-en-8-one as well as the bicyclo[5.3.0]dec-1(10)-en-9-one skeletons has been developed. This method also provides a new procedure for the construction of the bicyclo[4.3.0]non-1(9)-en-8-one skeleton having an alkyl appendage at the ring juncture, which was hardly attained in a satisfactory yield by the Pauson-Khand reaction of the corresponding enynes. 相似文献
The effect of solid-solution alloying on grain boundary sliding (GBS) was investigated using pure magnesium and six kinds of Mg–X (X?=?Ag, Al, Li, Pb, Y and Zn) dilute binary solid solutions with an average grain size of 10?µm. A sharp increase in damping capacity caused by GBS was observed above a certain temperature. The temperature at which a sharp increase in damping capacity occurred depended on the alloying element. The addition of Y and Ag markedly increased the onset temperature (more than 100?K) for a sharp increase in damping capacity, whereas the addition of Zn, Al and Li slightly increased the onset temperature (less than 50?K) as compared with that for pure magnesium. Tensile tests at a temperature of 423?K revealed that the higher the onset temperature, the lower the strain rate sensitivity of the flow stress. It is suggested that the former elements (Y and Ag) are more effective in suppressing GBS in magnesium alloys than the latter ones (Zn, Al and Li). The suppression of GBS was associated with low grain boundary energy, and the extent to which the energy is reduced depended on the alloying element. It was suggested that the change in the lattice parameter (the so-called c/a ratio) affects the grain boundary energy, and thus, the occurrence of GBS. 相似文献
The anion exchange reaction is fundamental to the adsorption and desorption of a specific species from a solution phase to an extracting phase, and it is widely used for separation and waste fluid treatment in industrial fields. However, the details of the anion exchange reaction are poorly understood. Quantitative thermodynamic analysis needs a precise solution condition before and after the exchange reaction. Identification of species adsorbed on the anion exchanger is also necessary because there are multiple species in the solution phase in general. Cobalt is a base metal that is widely used in modern society. One of the authors determined the distribution of cobalt-chloro complexes in hydrochloric acid solutions. It is necessary to know what species are adsorbed on anion exchangers for the thermodynamic analysis of the anion exchange reaction. The comparison in structures between the species in the solution phase and adsorbed on anion exchangers reveals what species are adsorbed. Therefore, the determination of the structures of cobalt-chloro complexes in the solution phase is the next step for quantitative analysis. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was used for the structure analysis. Factor analysis can decompose extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra consisting of multiple species into individual spectra of single species using the distribution determined using UV-Vis absorption spectra. Fitting EXAFS theoretical models to the decomposed individual spectra determined the structures of three cobalt-chloro complexes: an octahedron of [CoII(H2O)6]2+, a distorted octahedron of [CoII(H2O)5Cl]+, and a tetrahedron of [CoIICl4]2?. The XANES spectra showed us that the Cl ligand in [CoII(H2O)5Cl]+ was attracted to the center atom of CoII by an electrostatic force, and the bonding system between Cl ligands and CoII in [CoIICl4]2? involved covalency.
We have investigated electron-boson coupling in the optical conductivity of high-Tc superconductors through the optical self-energy. The real part of the self-energy (ReΣop(ω)) of YBa2Cu3Oy (YBCO) shows a characteristic doping dependence. In the optimally doped YBCO, ReΣop(ω) has a single peak around 65 meV, which corresponds to the kink structure of the band dispersion. On the other hand, in the under-doped YBCO, the peak structure of ReΣop(ω) splits into two parts. To evaluate contribution from the phonons in electron-boson coupling, we have measured oxygen-isotope effects by substituting 16O→18O for the optimally doped and under-doped YBCO. 相似文献
A novel shunt product, actinoperylone, has been isolated from a deletion mutant of the actVA-ORF5 and ORF6 genes involved in the biosynthesis of a benzoisochromanequinone (BIQ) antibiotic actinorhodin (ACT) in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). Spectroscopic analysis revealed its perylenequinone-type skeleton with the four chiral centers, obviously derived from the dimerization of an ACT intermediate. The structure of actinoperylone indicates the essential role of ActVA-ORF5 in the oxygen introduction at C-6, which is common to the formation of BIQ chromophore. The present results also agree with the distribution of the actVA-ORF5 homologues in all known BIQ biosynthetic clusters in streptomycetes. 相似文献
A sensitive liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-ESI-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of five 3-oxo-4-ene-neuroactive steroids, i.e. androstenedione, testosterone (T), progesterone (PROG), 20alpha-dihydroprogesterone and 20beta-dihydroprogesterone, in rat brain has been developed and validated. The brain steroids were extracted with methanol-acetic acid, purified using solid-phase extraction cartridges and subjected to LC-ESI-MS/MS. The method does not require derivatization. Deuterium-labeled T and PROG were used as the internal standards, and quantification was based on the selected reaction monitoring mode. This method allowed the reproducible and accurate quantification of the brain neuroactive steroids using 100 mg of tissue; the intra- and inter-assay relative standard deviations were below 4.7 and 4.3%, respectively, and the accuracy values were 97.6-103.2% for all the steroids. The limits of quantitation were 0.1 ng/g tissue for all the steroids. The application of this developed method for the analysis of changes in the brain neuroactive steroid levels by immobilization stress is also presented. 相似文献
