Synthesis and characterization of segmented liquid crystal poly(azoxy polyester-co-polyoxypropylene)

In this study a series of a segmented copolyester, poly(4,4′-dioxy-2,2′-dimethyl-azoxybenzene dodecanedioyl) (PMABD)-co-polyoxypropylene 400 (POP), was prepared. The chain length of PMABD studied (n) was varied from 7.8-18.2, and that of POP was unchanged. The intrinsic viscosity of the segmented copolyesters was 1.04-1.30, and the number average molecular weight obtained was 2.53 × 10⁴?3.49 × 10⁴ g/mol. The mesophase texture and thermal properties of the segmented copolyesters were measured as functions of n. It was found that the insert of flexible POP between those liquid crystalline domains of PMABD did affect thermotropic properties of PMABD. As the n value was 9.0 and 7.8 (or 7.4 and 8.6% by weight POP) the texture appeared as cholesteric-like oily streaks. The effect could not be attained by simply copolymerizing a mesogenic moiety with a pair of spacers of different lengths. The fluidity and domain structure of the flexible dodecanedioyl-POP-dodcanedioyl segments are taken into account for the obtained results. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Studies of cluster anions C n X− (X=N,P, As,Sb, Bi) produced by laser ablation

A series of cluster anions C _n X^? are produced from laser ablation of appropriate samples, where X is selected as a group-VB element. The recorded mass spectra of these cluster anions display a drastic even/odd alternation on ion intensities: For C _n N^?, only anions with oddn can be observed; For C _n P^? and C _n As^?, cluster anions with evenn are produced but with lower signal intensities; For C _n Sb^?, the signal intensity of clusters does not show even/odd alternation; Finally, for C _n Bi^?, the intensities of cluster anions with evenn are higher than those with oddn. This parity effect can be attributed to the linear structure of the cluster anions, and the parity reversal of C _n X^? from C _n N^? to C _n Bi^? can be explained from the electronegativity decreasing of the heteroatom X as it descends in the group. The Hückel model was applied to account the structural feature of these clusters.     

Hydrolysis of palm kernel olein in AOT-isooctane-water reversed micelles

Rhizopus arrhizus lipase (EC 3.1.1.3; triacylglycerol hydrolase) was used in this study to investigate the hydrolysis of palm kernel olein in AOT-isooctane-water reversed micelle system at W_o = 13, pH = 7, and T = 30?C. The hydrolytic reaction obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics for substrate concentrations in the range (0.175 and 0.877M). The apparentK _m and V_max for the substrate were 0.397M (equivalent to 9.06% w/v) and 5523 U/mg protein, respectively. Product inhibition with a dissociation constant of the enzyme-product complex,K _I = 9.74 mM, was confirmed. Experimental results from the change of product concentrations with respect to time correlated sufficiently with those predicted theoretically from the rate equation for a reaction time up to 100 min. However, the discrepancy between the observed results and the predicted ones would increase with reaction time. Possible reasons for this deviation were discussed.

Gold-catalyzed 1,2-/1,2-bis-acetoxy migration of 1,4-bis-propargyl acetates: a mechanistic study

The late transition metal catalyzed rearrangement of propargyl acetates offers an interesting platform for the development of synthetically useful transformations. We have recently shown that gold complexes can catalyze a highly selective tandem 1,2-/1,2-bis-acetoxy migration in 1,4-bis-propargyl acetates to form 2,3-bis-acetoxy-1,3-dienes. In this way, (1Z,3Z)- or (1Z,3E)- and (1E,3Z)-1,3-dienes could be obtained in a stereocontrolled manner depending on the electronic and steric features of the ancillary ligand bound to gold and the substituents at the propargylic positions. In this work, we report an experimental study on the scope of this transformation, plus a detailed theoretical examination of the reaction mechanism, which has revealed the key features responsible for the reaction stereoselectivity. Synthetic applications towards the one-pot synthesis of quinoxaline heterocycles and tandem Diels-Alder processes have also been devised.     

Enantiomeric determination of azole antifungals in wastewater and sludge by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry

A sensitive and reliable liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric method for enantiomeric determination of five chiral azole antifungals (econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, tebuconazole, and propiconazole) in wastewater and sludge has been established and validated. An isotope-labeled internal standard was used for quantification. Recovery of the individual enantiomers was usually in the range of 77-102 % for wastewater and 71-95 % for sludge, with relative standard deviations within 20 %. No significant difference (p>0.05) was observed between recovery of pairs of enantiomers of the chiral azole antifungals except for those of tebuconazole. Method quantification limits for individual enantiomers were 0.3-10 ng L(-1) and 3-29 ng g(-1) dry weight for wastewater and sludge, respectively. The method was used to investigate the enantiomeric composition of the azole pharmaceuticals in wastewater and sludge samples from a sewage treatment plant in China. Enantiomers of miconazole, ketoconazole, and econazole were widely detected. The results showed that the azole antifungals in wastewater and sludge were generally racemic or marginally non-racemic. The method is a useful tool for investigation of the enantiomeric occurrence, behavior, and fate of the chiral azole antifungals in the environment.
