Addition of chlorodisilanes to 1,3-butadienes in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0). A facile route to (Z)-1,4-bis(chlorosilyl)but-2-enes

In the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0), chlorodisilanes of type Me_nSi₂Cl_6-n (n  0, 2, 3 and 4) add to 1,3-butadienes to give (Z)-1,4-bis(chlorosilyl)but-2-enes.     

22,-Dimethyl-4-phenyloxazoline and 2,2-dimethyl-4,5-diphenylimidazolidine as new chiral auxiliaries. Applications to asymmetric nitrile oxide cycloadditions

Asymmetric dipolar cycloadditions of a nitrile oxide to the acrylamide derivatives of two new chiral auxiliaries, (R)-2,2-dimethyl-4-phenyloxazolidines and (S,S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-diphenylimidazolidine, show satisfactorily high diastereoselectivities (up to 91%).     

Synthetic studies on indoles and related compounds. XXXI. Chemical confirmation of the synthetic route for the benz[f]indole skeleton and its application

To confirm the structure of ethyl 9-methoxybenz[f]indole ( 8a ) prepared from ethyl pyrrole-2-carboxylate ( 4 ) via a new synthetic route, the following chemical correlation work was performed. Ethyl 9-methoxybenz[f]in-dole ( 8a ) was converted to 1-benzyl-3-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenz[f]indole ( 25 ), which was alternatively and authentically synthesized from ethyl 3-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylate ( 11 ). On the basis of the established route to the benz[f]indole nucleus, two representative benz[f]indoles, benz[f]indole ( 1 ) and 4,9-dioxobenz[f]indole ( 26 ) were synthesized.     

Origin of facial diastereoselection. Evidence for negative role of antiperiplanar hyperconjugation effects in the transition state of carbene insertion

[reaction: see text] Quantitative analysis of the transition state (TS) structures of the insertion reactions of 5-X-2-adamantanylidenes (X = H, OH, NH(2), SiMe(3)) into MeOH or cyclohexane revealed that the magnitude of antiperiplanar hyperconjugative stabilization involving the incipient bond effects (the AP effect) decrease at TS, strongly suggesting that the AP effect contributes "net destabilization" of TS (i.e., increase in activation energy), in sharp contrast to the proposals of the Felkin-Anh and the Cieplak models. The equilibrium population between two carbene bridge-flipping proximal-distal conformers was found to be the origin of facial diastereoselection of these carbenes.     

Radiation-induced polymerization of glass-forming systems. VII. Polymerization in supercooled state under high pressure

Radiation-induced polymerization of glass-forming monomers such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate under high pressure was studied. The glass transition temperature of these monomers was heightened by increased pressure. The temperature dependence of polymerizability showed a characteristic relation; similar to those in supercooled-phase polymerization under normal pressure, that had a maximum at T_v which shifted to higher levels of temperature as well as to T_g under high pressure. Polymerizability in the supercooled state also increased under increased pressure.     

溶剂化金属原子浸渍法制备高分散负载型催化剂——Ⅱ,Fe,Co,Ni催化剂的分散度和催化性能研究

Electron spin echo study of long-lived radicals which cause mutation in gamma-ray irradiated mammalian cells

Long-lived radicals, produced by gamma-ray irradiation of mammalian cells at room temperature, cause mutation and morphological transformation in the cells. The local environment near the long-lived radicals in irradiated cells was investigated here by the analysis of electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) spectra. The number of hydrogen (deuterium) atoms surrounding the long-lived radical, which may correspond to the number of water molecules, was estimated roughly as one or two. It is postulated that the long-lived radicals are generated in the interior of biopolymers. The radicals are not produced by the reaction of OH radicals, but mainly by the decomposition of biopolymer which absorbed directly the energy of the ionizing radiation.
