Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,7,7-Trimethyl- 4-（4-methoxyphenyl）-4,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline- 2,5（1H,3H）-diones under Microwave Irradiation

1 INTRODUCTION Various quinolone derivatives are known to dis- play interesting biological properties ranging from microbial activity to cytotoxicity[1]. They have been reported as antiviral (HIV-1)[2] and antitumor agents[3] as well as used as tubulin[4], topoisomerase[5] and thrombocyte inhibitors[6]. As a member of the quino- lone family, substituted N-phenyl-2-quinolones re-present the structural basis of many biologically active compounds, such as protein kinase inhibitors, immunodu…     

Theoretical Studies on the Abstraction Reaction of Atomic O（^3p） with Si2H6

The hydrogen abstraction reaction of O(^3P) with Si2H6 has been studied theoretially. Two transition states of ^3A″ and ^3A′ symmetries have been located for this abstraction reaction. Geometries have been optimized at the UMP2 leve with 6-311G (d) basis set. G3MP2 has been used for the final single-point energy calculation. The rate constants have been calculated over a wide temperature range of 200-3000K using canonical variational transition-state sheory (CVT) with small curvature tunneling effect(SCT). The calculated CVT/SCT rate constants match well with the experimental value.     

Quantitation of agmatine by liquid chromatography with laser-induced fluorescence detection

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is described for the determination of agmatine, an endogenous neuromodulator. The method involves pre-column derivatization of the sample with a fluorescent tagging reagent, 7-fluoro-4-nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD-F). The resulting agmatine derivative is stable and can be readily extracted into ethyl acetate at pH 8.5. The extraction enhances the quantification of low level agmatine because it eliminates chromatographic peaks caused by endogenous amino acids. The HPLC separation is carried out on a C₈ reversed phase column and completed in less than 10 min. With laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection, the detection limit is 5×10⁻⁹ M agmatine. Method precision (coefficient of variation) is 5% for agmatine in human plasma at the sub-μM level. This method has been validated by determination of agmatine in biological samples including human plasma and rat brain and stomach tissues.     

Remote substituent effects on bond dissociation energies of para-substituted aromatic silanes

UB3LYP/6-31G(d) and ROMP2/6-311++G(d,2p) methods were used to calculate the Si-X bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of a number of para-substituted aromatic silanes (4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)X, where X = H, F, Cl, or Li). It was found that the substituent effect on the Si-H BDE of 4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(3) was small, as the slope (rho(+)()) of the BDE- regression was only 0.09 kJ/mol. In comparison, the substituent effect on the Si-F BDE of 4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)F was much stronger, whose rho(+ )()value was -2.34 kJ/mol. The substituent effect on the Si-Cl BDE of 4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)Cl was also found to be strong with a rho(+)() value of -1.70 kJ/mol. However, the substituent effect on the Si-Li BDE of 4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)Li was found to have a large and positive slope (+9.12 kJ/mol) against. The origin of the above remarkably different substituent effects on the Si-X BDEs was found to be associated with the ability of the substituent to stabilize or destabilize the starting material (4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)X) as well as the product (4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)* radical) of the homolysis. Therefore, the direction and magnitude of the effects of Y-substituents on the Z-X BDEs in compounds such as 4-YC(6)H(4)Z-X should have some important dependence on the polarity of the Z-X bond undergoing homolysis. This conclusion was in agreement with that from earlier studies (for example, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1991, 113, 9363). However, it indicated that the proposal from a recent work (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 5518) was unfortunately not justified.

改进的微波辅助无溶剂法提取薄荷和陈皮中的挥发油组分

An improved solvent free microwave extraction, in which a kind of microwave absorption medium （carbonyl iron powder） was used, was applied to the extraction of essential oil from dried menthol mint and orange peel without addition of any solvent and pretreatment. It took much less time of extraction （30 min） than microwave-assisted hydrodistillation （90 min） and conventional hydrodistillation （180 min）. The kinds of chemical compositions in essential oil extracted by different methods were almost the same and such improved solvent free microwave extraction can be a feasible way in extraction of essential oil from dried plant materials.

Synthesis and X-ray diffraction studies of chiral nickel(II), zinc(II), manganese(II), and cobalt(II) complexes with C 2-symmetric 2,6-bis[4′-(R)-ethoxyoxazolin-2′-yl]pyridine

Chiral nickel(II), zinc(II), manganese(II), and cobalt(II) complexes with C ₂-symmetric 2,6-bis[4′-(R)-ethoxyoxazolin-2′-yl]pyridine were prepared, the single crystal of nickel(II) complex, [Ni((R,R)-Et-Py-box)(H₂O)₂Cl]Cl ((R,R)-Et-Pybox is 2,6-bis[4′-(R)-ethoxyoxazolin-2′-yl]pyridine), was obtained and indicated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The nickel(II) complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P2₁2₁2₁ with a = 7.7346(4) Å, b = 19.7133(13) Å, c = 25.8014(14) Å, V = 3934.1(4) ų, Z = 8, and R = 0.0526 against 7010 reflections with I > 2σ (I). A feature of interest was noted in the unit cell of the compound, where two types of molecules exist, which similarly have a distorted octahedral geometry but only slightly differ in the orientation of the coordinated atoms to the central Ni atom. These two types of molecules interact with each other by O-H…Cl hydrogen bonds, giving rise to one dimensional ribbon structure.

At 25°C, using 500 equiv of methylaluminoxane (MAO), the activities of Fe(II), Co(II) catalysts can reach 4.02 ×10⁶ g/mol-Fehatm for ethylene polymerization and 3.98×10⁵ g/mol-Cohatm for ethylene oligomerization. The effects of polymerization conditions such as reaction temperature, Al/M molar ratio and time on the activity of catalyst have been explored.     

Theoretical studies on vibrational spectra of some halides of Group IIB elements

The vibrational spectra of Group IIB elements halides MX2 and their dimers M2X4 (M=Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II); X=F, Cl, Br and I) have been systematically investigated by ab initio RHF and B3LYP methods with LanL2MB, LanL2DZ and SDD basis sets. The optimized geometries, calculated vibrational frequencies are evaluated via comparison with the experimental data. The vibrational frequencies, calculated by these methods with different basis sets, are compared to each other too. The best results can be obtained by RHF/SDD method, with this method, the deviations for MX2 and Hg2X4 are <7%. Some vibrational frequencies of M2X4 that have not been experimentally reported are also predicted.
