SMSI effect on ceria supported Cu-Pd catalysts in the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene

Ceria-supported copper-palladium catalysts have been tested in the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene. The SMSI behavior of the bimetallic catalysts depended on the temperature of reduction. They were analyzed by H₂ chemisorption and XPS.     

机械球磨与反应烧结合成Sr2CeO4发光体的研究

Sr₂CeO₄ phosphor was synthesized by mechanical milling and reactive sintering in this work. The solid state reaction of SrCO₃and CeO₂ (2∶1) started at about 850 ℃ and completed at 1 000 ℃ for about 4 h. Two types of formation mechanism of Sr₂CeO₄ were proposed. When the starting powder mixture was fired above 1 000 ℃, the unstable intermediate phase SrCeO₃was developed, which then reacted with SrCO₃to form the final product Sr₂CeO₄, however, SrCO₃and CeO₂ converted directly to Sr₂CeO₄ at a lower temperature. The XRD results showed the crystal structure of Sr₂CeO₄ was orthorhombic. The emission spectra displayed a broad band with maximum at about 465 nm. The mechanical milling of starting power mixture and the sintering temperature had no effect on this emission spectra.     

Paleomagnetic Results of Later Paleozolic Rocks From Alashan Area of Western North China Block

In order to contribute to the Apparent Polar Wander Path (APWP) of the North China Block (NCB) , we collected paleomagnetic samples of Late Paleozoic rocks from the northern and southern margins of the Alashan (Alxa) terrane (the western part of Inner Mongolia and northern parts of Gansu and Ningxia Provinces) and adjacent regions. Laboratory work revealed different types of demagnetization behavior and isolated a higher temperature characteristic component in most of the samples. Results of IRM experiments show high thermal stability and high coercivities for the magnetic carriers in these rocks. The characteristic component passed the fold and/or reversal tests, suggesting that the characteristic components were probably primary. On the basis of comparing the paleomagnetic results with the geologic evidence, we discuss the tectonic implications. In the Late Paleozoic, the Alashan region had been part of the NCB and was not connected with the northern and southern blocks. During the Carboniferous Alash     

RECOGNITION SEQUENCE SPECIFICITY OF SIGNAL PEPTIDASE I AND THE ROLE OF SIGNAL PEPTIDE IN SECRETION OF PROTEIN IN Bacillus subtilis

By recombinant DNA technology, the N-terminal of the β-protein encoding region of plasmid pUBHO is fused with the structure gene of α-amylase from Bacillus licheniformis. This gene fusion is called βAmy. It is able to transcribe and translate in phase. Protein fusion can be secreted into the medium mediated by β-signal peptide. The efficiency of secretion is about 10% of the synthesized pre-α-amylase. By comparing the secretion capacities and analysing the restriction sites on β-Amy genes and the molecular weights of the mature α-amylase secreted by B. subtilis harbouring different plasmids, it is indicated in vivo that the recognition and cleavage sequence for signal peptidase I of B. subtilis is Ala-Ala-Ala Ala. The results also indicate that the secretion of the α-amylase in B. subtilis is in accordance with the post-translational transportation mode.     

Hypervalent Iodine(III) Sulfonate Mediated Synthesis of Imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridines

A direct and efficient method for the conversion of alkyl aryl ketones to imidazo[1,2‐α]pyridines has been developed based on initial formation of α‐organosulfonyloxy ketones and their subsequent cyclocondensation by 2‐aminopyridines in one‐pot conditions.

Michael Addition of Thiols to á,(a)-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds Catalyzed by Bifunctional Organocatalysts:Asymmetric Michael Addition and Asymmetric Protonation

Recently the hydrogen-bond activated reactions have attracted much attention.1 Takemoto2 reported a highly enantioselective Michael addition of manolate to nitroolefins catalyzed by a bifunctional organocatalyst with tertiary amine and thiourea moiety. As we known,stereoselective conjugate additions of thiols are interesting due to the standpoint of biological and synthetic importance, however, only very limited good results have been obtained except for the works of Shibasaki3, Kanemasa4 and Deng5 et al.In this letter, we report an efficient catalytic asymmetric Michael reactions of thiols to a,a-unsaturated carbonyl compounds promoted by bifunctional organocatalysts. A series of organocatalysts with chiral amine and thiourea structures were designed and synthesized and have been successfully applied in the conjugated additions of thiols to a,a-unsaturated imides and enones.The reactions got quantitative yields and the ee values were up to 84%. It is noteworthy that the a-asymmetric protonation (up to 43% ee) also could be achieved.The Michael addition between aromatic thiols and a,a-unsaturated carbonyl compounds isdescribed as follows:Works to further increase the enantioselectivity is under investigation in our laboratory.     

Diastereoselective Three Component Reaction of N‐Glyoxyloyl Camphorpyrazolidinone,Amine and Allyltributylstannane: Facile Synthesis of Homoallylic Amines

Diastereoselective allylation of imine derived from N‐glyoxyloyl camphorpyrazolidinone and amines was treated with allyltributylstannane in the presence of triflic acid. The corresponding optically enriched homoallylic amines were obtained in reasonable to high material yields and with practical levels of stereoselectivity in 10 min at ambient temperature.
