Herein we report a new preparation of 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-one, the flavor compound strawberry furanone, based on a ‘green’ approach with a minimum number of steps. The first step is an enzymatic dioxygenation of p-xylene to form cyclohexadiene-cis-diol, followed by ring opening via ozonolysis, and ring closure to form the furanone. In efforts to improve the efficiency of the enzymatic step, a directed evolution approach was taken to increase the substrate specificity and selectivity of the toluene dioxygenase enzyme system. 相似文献
Zusammenfassung Inhalt der vorliegenden Untersuchung ist eine Klassifizierung der vierdimensionalen quadratischen Divsionsalgebren über einem Hilbert-Körper. Die Anregung dazu entstammt einer Arbeit von Kuz'min [6], in der endlichdimensionale reelle Divisionsalgebren durch Aussagen über ihre Multiplikationskonstanten charakterisiert werden. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dort auf den quadratischen Divisionsalgebren. Deren Struktur wird wesentlich durch quadratische Formen bestimmt. Deshalb ist es naheliegend, diese Algebren für eine allgemeinere Klasse von Körpern mit einer überschaubaren Theorie der quadratischen Formen zu betrachten. A Fröhlich [5] hat eine axiomatische Beschreibung für eine Klasse von Körpern, die sogenannten Hilbert-Körper, gegeben, die eine Theorie der quadratischen Formen wie die
-adischen Zahlen oder die reellen Zahlen haben. Diese Körper legen wir in der Untersuchung zugrunde. Eine genauere Motivation für das Vorgehen und einen Ausblick auf die Ergebnisse gibt die folgende Einleitung.Die Verfasserin dankt Herrn Prof. Dr. K. Strambach, Erlangen, für die Anregung und Begleitung dieser Arbeit und Herrn Prof. Dr. L. Bröcker, Münster, für die konstruktiven Vorschläge zur Überarbeitung des ursprünglichen Manuskiptes. 相似文献
Motivated by an investigation ofKuz'min [2], in this note we introduce a topology on the set
of nonassociative algebras of a fixed dimensionr< over a local fieldF. We obtain a space, which is notT1. If the trivial algebra
is removed, the remaining subspace is quasicompact. The space is homeomoprhic to the group of square classes ofF*; forr3 the space is notT1. The set of division algebras is open in. 相似文献
Treatment of Ru3(CO)12 with dpphSe2 (dpph = 1,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane) in refluxing toluene in the presence of Me3NO afforded two new compounds, Ru3(CO)7(-CO)(3-Se)(-dpph) (1) and Ru3(CO)7(3-Se)2(-dpph) (2). A similar reaction of Ru3(CO)12 with dpppeSe2 (dpppe = 1,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane) gave exclusively Ru3(CO)7(3-Se)2(-dpppe) (3). Treatment of Ru3(CO)12 with dpphS2 and dpppeS2 at 110°C in the presence of Me3NO afforded Ru3(CO)7(3-S)2(-dpph) (4) and Ru3(CO)7(3-S)2(-dpppe) (5), respectively. Reactions of Fe3(CO)12 with dpphSe2 and dpppeSe2, under identical conditions, afforded Fe3(CO)7(3-Se)2(-dpph) (6) and Fe3(CO)7(3-Se)2(-dpppe) (7), respectively. Compounds 1–7 were characterized spectroscopically and the molecular structures of compounds 1–4 were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The core of 1 contains an equilateral triangle of ruthenium atoms with one capping selenium, one bridging dpph, one doubly bridging carbonyl and seven terminal carbonyl ligands. Complexes 2–4 have a square-pyramidal structure with two metal and two chalcogenide atoms alternating in the basal plane and the third metal atom at the apex of the pyramid, and belong to the family of well-known nido clusters with seven skeletal electron pairs. 相似文献
Hydrous amorphous Al (HAO), Fe (HFO), and Mn (HMO) oxides are ubiquitous in the subsurface as both discrete particles and coatings and exhibit a high affinity for heavy metal contaminants. To assess risks associated with heavy metals, such as Pb, to the surrounding environment and manage remedial activities requires accurate mechanistic models with well-defined transport parameters that represent sorption processes. Experiments were conducted to evaluate Pb sorption to microporous Al, Fe, and Mn oxides, as well as to montmorillonite and HAO-coated montmorillonite. Intraparticle diffusion, a natural attenuating process, was observed to be the rate-limiting mechanism in the sorption process, where best-fit surface diffusivities ranged from 10(-18) to 10(-15) cm(2) s(-1). Specifically, diffusivities of Pb sorption to discrete aluminum oxide, aluminum oxide-coated montmorillonite, and montmorillonite indicated substrate surface characteristics influence metal mobility where diffusivity increased as affinity decreased. Furthermore, the diffusivity for aluminum oxide-coated montmorillonite was consistent with the concentrations of the individual minerals present and their associated particle size distributions. These results suggest that diffusivities for other coated systems can be predicted, and that oxide coatings and montmorillonite are effective sinks for heavy metal ions. 相似文献
This paper reports the results of an investigation on the role of the supporting electrolyte in separations using electrochemically modulated liquid chromatography (EMLC) with a porous graphitic carbon stationary phase. With respect to the identity of the supporting electrolyte, the elution strength of the electrolyte anion increased as F- < OH- < BF4- < ClO4- < PF6- for injections of negatively charged aromatic molecules, whereas a 10-fold increase in electrolyte concentration induced a 60% change in retention for the same solutes. Furthermore, both the concentration and composition of the supporting electrolyte affected retention in a manner that varied with the charge of the analyte and applied potential. This behavior is explained using Gouy-Chapman diffuse double layer theory, coupled with comparisons of this theory with closely related models for ion-pair chromatography. Insights into the retention mechanism reveal that an ion-exchange mechanism controls the retention of negatively charged solutes at applied potentials removed from the potential of zero charge (PZC). At potentials close to the PZC, the electrostatic model is less effective with the predominant retention mechanism likely involving hydrophobic interactions with the carbonaceous stationary phase. The combined effects of these findings are demonstrated by using a temporal gradient in supporting electrolyte concentration to optimize an EMLC separation. 相似文献
The International and European standards for radiation sterilization require evidence of the effectiveness of a minimum sterilization dose of 25 kGy but do not provide detailed guidance on how this evidence can be generated. An approach, designated VDmax, has recently been described and computer evaluated to provide safe and unambiguous substantiation of a 25 kGy sterilization dose. The approach has been further developed into a practical method, which has been subjected to field evaluations at three manufacturing facilities which produce different types of medical devices. The three facilities each used a different overall evaluation strategy: Facility A used VDmax for quarterly dose audits; Facility B compared VDmax and Method 1 in side-by-side parallel experiments; and Facility C, a new facility at start-up, used VDmax for initial substantiation of 25 kGy and subsequent quarterly dose audits. A common element at all three facilities was the use of 10 product units for irradiation in the verification dose experiment.
The field evaluations of the VDmax method were successful at all three facilities; they included many different types of medical devices/product families with a wide range of average bioburden and sample item portion values used in the verification dose experiments. Overall, around 500 verification dose experiments were performed and no failures were observed. In the side-by-side parallel experiments, the outcomes of the VDmax experiments were consistent with the outcomes observed with Method 1.
The VDmax approach has been extended to sterilization doses >25 and <25 kGy; verification doses have been derived for sterilization doses of 15, 20, 30, and 35 kGy. Widespread application of the VDmax method for doses other than 25 kGy must await controlled field evaluations and the development of appropriate specifications/standards. 相似文献
The reaction of [Os3(CO)12] with tetramethylthiourea in the presence of a methanolic solution of Me3NO·2H2O at 60° yields the compounds [Os3(CO)11{η1-SC(NMe2)2}] (1) in 56% yield and [Os3(CO)9(μ-OH)(μ-MeOCO){η1-SC(NMe2)2}] (2) in 10% yield in which the tetramethylthiourea ligand is coordinatedvia the sulfur atom at an equatorial position. Compound2 is a 50 e? cluster with two metal-metal bonds and the hydroxy and methoxycarbonyl ligands bridging the open metal-metal edge. In contrast, the analogous reaction of [Os3(CO)12] with thiourea gives the compounts [(μ-H)Os3(CO)10{μ-NHC(S)NH2}] (3) in 8% yield and [(μ-H)Os3(CO)9{3-NHC(S)NH2}] (4) in 30% yield. In3, the thioureato ligand bridges two osmium atomsvia the sulfur atom, whereas in4 in addition to the sulfur bridge, one of the nitrogen atoms of thioureato moiety bonds to the remaining osmium atom. The decacarbonyl compounds 3 can also be obtained in 50% yield from the reaction of [Os3(CO)10(MeCN)2] with thiourea at ambient temperature. Compound3 converts to4 (65%) photochemically. Compound1 reacts with PPh3 and acetonitrile at ambient temperature to give the simple substitution products [Os3(CO)11(PPh3)] and [Os3(CO)11(MeCN)], respectively, while with pyridine, the oxidative addition product [(μ-H)Os3(CO)10(μ-NC5H4] is formed at 80°C. All the new compounds are characterized by IR,1-H-NMR and elemental analysis together with the X-ray crystal structures of1,2 and4. Compound1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P $P\bar 1$ with unit cell parametersa = 8.626(3) Å,b = 11.639(3) Å,c = 12.568(3_ Å,α = 84.67(2)°,β = 75.36(2)°,γ = 79.49(3)°,V = 1199(1) Å3, andZ = 2. Least-squares refinement of 4585 reflections gave a final agreement factor ofR = 0.0766 (Rw = 0.0823). Compound2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with unit cell parametersa = 9.149(5) Å,b = 17.483(5) Å,c = 15.094(4) Å,β = 91.75(2)°,V = 2413(2) Å3, andZ = 4. Least-squares refinement of 3632 reflections gave a final agreement factor ofR = 0.0603 (Rw = 0.0802). Compound4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell parametersa = 13.915(7) Å,b = 14.718(6) Å,c = 17.109(6) Å,β = 100.44(3)°,V = 3446(5) Å3, andZ = 8. Least-squares refinement of 2910 reflections gave a final agreement factor ofR = 0.0763 (Rw = 0.0863). 相似文献
We report the feasibility of multistage fragmentation in combination with a fast background subtraction method, yielding the equivalent of MS3. The first quadrupole selects an ion of interest, and the ion is axially accelerated into Q2 to generate fragment ions. Subsequent stages of mass selection and fragmentation are obtained by quadrupolar resonant excitation within the Q2 collision cell. The fragments are analyzed downstream by either a resolving quadrupole or a time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer, and multistage spectra are obtained by subtraction (MS(n) - MS(n-1)) for n = 3 or 4. We discuss the characterization of this method, including product ion arrival times, fragmentation efficiencies, and ion selectivity. We report accurate TOF mass spectra of background-subtracted MS3 for protonated molecules reserpine (m/z 609), bosentan (m/z 1552), and taxol (m/z 854). 相似文献
A new sol-gel system using ethylene glycol was developed for the fabrication of PZT thin films with compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3. Ethylene glycol was used as both a chelating agent and a solvent to replace the highly toxic methoxyethanol used in previous formulations. Thin films were deposited by spin coating the solutions onto platinized silicon substrates. Films were completely crystallized by about 600°C and contained the ferroelectric perovskite phase. A dielectric constant of about 750–800 at 1 KHz was obtained for thin films of 0.3 µm thickness. The hysteresis measurements revealed a remanent polarization of 15 mC/cm2 with a coercive field of 60 kV/cm. 相似文献
