Application of Et3NHCl-AlCl3 Ionic Liquid as an Initiator in Cationic Copolymerization of 1, 3-Pentadiene with Styrene

Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as advanced, technological solvents can be designed to fit a particular application. They used as green “media and/or catalysts” for chemical synthesis have been extensively reviewed recently. RTILs1 not only show …     

Synthesis of Novel Benzoylphenylurea Chitin Inhibitors From Chlorothalonil(Ⅱ)

IntroductionThe insecticidal activity of benzoylphenylurea( BPU ) analogues,discovered in the early1 970′s[1_ 4] ,is connected with the process ofmoult-ing and appears to affect the chitin synthesis of in-sects. The benzoylphenylurea class of insectgrowth regulators( IGRs) ,interfere with chitinsynthesis in target pests,causing death or abortivedevelopment and are considered to be the fourthgeneration of insecticides or novel materials for in-sect control.Benzoylphenylurea type insecticides…     

Design and Synthesis of 1-Benzyl-3-(a-hydroxy-(un)substituted benzylidene)pyrrolidine-2,4-diones as Potential Herbicides

The inhibitors of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD, EC 1.13.11.27) are an new kind of herbicides.[1]Generally, in structure, potent herbicides of this kind must possess: (1) a tricarbonyl methane structure and one of the three carbonyl groups must be a subustituted benzoyl group; (2) the compound must be able to enolise so that the enolate is capable of inhibiting HPPD enzyme by competitive combination with Fe2+, the reaction center of HPPD enzyme.[2]Recently, we noticed that the 3-acyltetramic acids form an expanding group of antibiotics and pigments from micro-organisms,[3] they display a range of biological activities[4] and all of this kind compounds possess all of the characters mentioned above. Tests of their antimicrobial activities indicated that the structure of the acyl substituent at the 3-position was important to many typical antibiotics.[4～6] These characters stimulated us to study this kind of compounds so as to discover new herbicides. In this report, we synthesized a series of compounds 3 and tested their herbicidal activities to investigate their structure-activity relationships.     

Two New Sesquiterpenes from Eupatorium lindleyanum

Various germacrane sesquiterpenes have been isolated from many species of the Eupatorium.In recent years these compounds have been increasing interest due to their insecticidal,cytotoxic,antitumor-promoting and insect-antifeedant activities1.In our present study,we have investigated the chemical constituents of Eupatorium lindleyanum DC.,which is a geo-authentic medicine of Jiangsu province.It is used as a antipyretic drug.Two novel germacrane sesquiterpenes(Figure1)were found by us from th…     

STUDY ON THE SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF MACRORETICULAR IPN POLYACRYLAMIDE—POLY(VINYL—ETHYLENEDIAMINE)CHELATE SORBENTS

A new series of MR-IPN polyacrylamide—poly(vinyl-ethylenediamine)chelatesorbents were prepared by the reaction of ethylenediamine with MR-IPN matrixes.The newchelate sorbent showed good sorption properties for auric and platinic ions.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Copper(II) Complex with 4-Cyanobenzoic Acid

1 INTRODUCTION Exploration on the syntheses and properties of car- boxylate complexes, especially aromatic carboxylate complexes, has always been a fascinating and chal- lenging research field for decades either in coor- dination chemistry or in functional materials[1, 2]. Cy- anobenzoic acid (Hcba) possessing two functional coordination groups should display structural diver- sities on the formation of complexes[3～15]. In particu- lar, the copper(II) carboxylate complexes bearing spe- …     

Hexa-Coordinate phosphorus Chemistry and Life Chemistry

The amino acids' side chains were acting as the relay device to regulate the chemical reactivi-ties of the N-phosphoryl amino acids. These modulation effects were performed through the partici-pation of the phosphoryl group.     

Studies on synthesis and kinetics of thermodecomposition of the nickel(Ⅱ) compounds with Schiff base derived from amino acids

Monoaqua salicylaldehyde-o-aminobenzoic acid Ni(Ⅱ) monohydrate (cp1) and monoaqua o-vanillin-o-aminobenzoic acid Ni(Ⅱ) monohydrate (cp2) were synthesized. The composition and structures of these two compounds were analyzed. Their thermal stability and non-isothermal kinetics were also investigated by use of TG and DTG curves. The possible reaction mechanisms in their first steps of thermal decomposition reactions were deduced by means of integral and differential methods. Thermodecomposition kinetic equations of the compounds are as follows:Cp1: da/At = A . exp(-E/RT) . 3/2(1 - a)4/3 . [1/(1 - a)1/3 -1]-1 Cp2 : da/At = A . exp(-E/RT) . (1 - a)

A new abietane diterpene 12-hydroxy-7-oxo-5, 8, 11, 13-tetraene-18, 6-abietanolide, together with a new natural sterol stigmasta-7, 22-diene-3β, 5α, 6α-triol have been isolated from the fruiting body of the fungus Phellinus igniarius. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including 2D NMR techniques.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a 1-D Coordination Polymer {[Cu(NIT4py)_2(ip)]·6H_2O}_n

1 INTRODUCTION Pyridyl-substituted nitroxide radicals have at- tracted considerable attention in recent years due to the ability to coordinate with metal ions and act as magnetic couplers, giving rise to new functional ma- terials with particular magnetic and optical prope- rties as well as a variety of structural topologies[1~3]. Considerable efforts have been made in designing and preparing multi-dimensional materials with app- ropriate bridges, such as pseudohalide, dicyanide, dicyanoa…
