DIASTEREOSELECTIVITY OF ALLYBORATION OF ALDEHYDES

Reaction of(Z)-Crotyldiisopinocampheylborane with a series of alde-hydes have been examined,and the ratio of erythro to threo products varies fr-om 20:1 to 1:1.The results are discussed in detail.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of (+)-Avarol, (+)-Avarone, and Some Nonracemic Analogues

Synthesis of the rearranged drimane sesquiterpenoids (+)-avarol and (+)-avarone from Wieland-Miescher ketone is described. This synthetic sequence provides convenient access to the natural enantiomers and, based on comparison of the optical rotation of synthetic avarol dimethyl ether with literature data, affords material of significantly higher optical rotation than a natural source. Similar synthetic strategies have been used to obtain several related compounds, including a decalin bearing an exocyclic olefin and a highly substituted cyclohexane, that can be viewed as hybrids of the trans-fused avarol and cis-fused arenarol skeletons.     

Novel design of a pentacyclic scaffold as structural mimic of saframycin A

The design, synthesis and evaluation of a pentacyclic scaffold, CWO-324 to mimic saframycin A is described. CWO-324 is readily synthesized in five steps from 1,4-diacetyl-piperazine-2,5-dione and 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. CWO-324 was found to scission DNA, binds to bases 69-83(5′-GCAGTCAGG CACCGT-3′) of Hind III/Rsa I from plasmid pBR322 DNA in a foot-printing study and possesses anti-tumor activity.     

The Tolman length: is it positive or negative?

By means of a large-scale molecular dynamics simulation, we show that the Tolman length, although positive, is much smaller in magnitude than previously reported. We found that the range of interparticle interaction can significantly affect the magnitude of the Tolman length. When the range of interaction is longer than five molecular diameters, the Tolman length is on the order of a few hundredths of the molecular diameter, rather than a few tenths known previously.     

软刻蚀及其应用

软刻蚀是一类基于自组装和复制模塑等原理的非光刻微米和纳米加工方法。它为形成和制作微米、纳米图案提供了简便、有效、价廉的途径。在软刻蚀中，用一个表面带图案的弹性模板来实现图案的转移，其加工的分辨率可达30nm－100μm。软刻蚀是微接触印刷、复制模塑、转移微模塑、毛细微模塑、溶剂辅助微模塑等的总称。本文将简介软刻蚀的原理、方法以及它们在微米和纳米加工、微电子学、材料科学、光学、微电子机械系统、表面化学等方面的应用。     

Investigations in the field of vinyl ethers and esters of the furan series

Vinyl-furancarboxylate has been synthesized by the reaction of-furancarboxylic acid with acetylene and with vinyl acetate in the presence of various catalysts. The structure of the vinyl ester has been confirmed by IR spectra and by catalytic hydrogenation. The acid and alkaline hydrolyses of vinyl-furancarboxylate have been studied.     

New ceramides from the flower of Albizia iulibrissin

A new ceramide and its glycoside were isolated from the flower of Albizia julibrissin. Their structures were established as (25,35,4R,8E)-2-[(2'R)-hydroxyhexadecanoylamino]-8-tetra-cosene-l,3,4-triol(I)and 1-O-β-D-glucopyranosy1-(2S,3S,4R,8E)-2-[(2'R)-hydroxy-hexade-canoylamino]-8-tetracosene-1,3,4-triol (II) on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic studies.     

铕对小麦根细胞钙调素及NAD激酶的影响研究

研究了Eu对小麦根细胞内钙调素的含量和活性以及对受钙调素调控的专一性酶NAD激酶的影响。结果表明，Eu^3＋有类似Ca^2＋的作用，影响受Ca^2＋浓度调控的信号系统关键蛋白——钙调素的活性和含量变化。从而引起钙调素调控酶NAD激酶的活性改变，最终影响细胞内生理生化过程。认为稀土离子对生物体的Hormesis效应町能与稀土离子对细胞信号传递系统的影响有关，稀土离子可能通过影响细胞信号系统来调节细胞内的各种生理生化变化，形成稀土元素生物效应的多样性特征。
