Synthesen neuer Phosphono-Analoga von Pantethein-derivaten

Syntheses of New Phosphono Analogues of Pantetheine Derivatives The phosphono analogues 5 and 13 of pantothenate 4′-(dibenzyl phosphate) and pantetheine 4′-(dibenzyl phosphate), respectively, are prepared as intermediates for the synthesis of a coenzyme-A phosphono analogue (Schemes 1 and 2). The synthesis of phosphono analogues 20 and 21 of oxapantetheine, which are structurally similar compounds to the phosphono analogue of pantetheine, is also described (Scheme 3).     

Recovery of thick shear bands in atactic polystyrene

The DSC thermograms of the shear band material cut out by a diamond saw to include some undeformed material revealed two T_g's clearly separated by about 10°C. The first T_g was at the same temperature as the T_g of the undeformed material. The second T_g, which was at a higher temperature than the first T_g, appeared shortly after the shear strain recovery during the heating of the shear band material in the DSC. When the shear strain in the shear band was partially reversed by mechanical means before taking the DSC thermogram, the ΔT between the two T_g's decreased and when the shear strain was mechanically reversed to almost zero, the second T_g disappeared. The stored energy of shear band material was found to be similar to that of the bulk compressed material for large strains. Dimensional recovery during heating of specimens with thick and fine bands was similar, both taking place above T_g.     

Migration of 99Tc in a Weak Loess Aquifer: A Field Column Experiment

The migration of ⁹⁹Tc in a weak loess aquifer was investigated in-situ with undisturbed aquifer medium columns. The columns were obtained horizontally at a depth of 3236 m in an Underground Research Facility (URF). Quartz containing ³H (HTO) and ⁹⁹Tc (in the form of ⁹⁹TcO₄ ^-) was introduced into one end of the columns and the columns were covered tightly. Aquifer water was introduced into the columns directly from an experimental shaft in the UFR. Effluents from the columns were collected and the activity of ³H and ⁹⁹Tc were determined with a liquid scintillation analyzer. The breakthrough curves of ³H and ⁹⁹Tc indicate that ⁹⁹Tc migrates a little faster than that ³H does in the aquifer.     

Simple synthesis of aminoquinoline/ethylaniline copolymer semiconducting nanoparticles

Pure copolymer nanoparticles from 8-aminoquinoline (AQ) and 2-ethylaniline (EA) were easily synthesized by a chemically oxidative polymerization in three different aqueous media. The potential and temperature of polymerization solution were used to successfully follow the polymerization progress. The molecular and morphological structures of the resulting AQ/EA copolymer particles were systematically characterized by IR, UV/Vis, NMR, gel permeation chromatography, laser particle-size analysis, atomic force and transmission electron microscopy. The oxidation potential of the monomers as well as the polymerization yield, structure, and properties of the particles were found to significantly depend on AQ/EA ratio, polymerization temperature and medium. It is surprisingly found that AQ homopolymerization and AQ/EA (50:50) copolymerization at 5 degrees C in HCl simply afford nano-ellipsoids with the major/minor axis diameters of 24/14 nm and 80/67 nm, respectively. A simple method of synthesizing semiconducting pure nanoparticles by introducing the AQ units with positively charged quaternary ammonium groups but in the absence of adscititious stabilizer or sulfonic substituent on the monomers is established first. Both the molecular weight and bulk electroconductivity of the copolymers exhibit a maximum at AQ content of 10 mol %. The solubility and film formability of the copolymers are good in highly polar solvents and reach the optimal at the AQ content of 20 and 10 mol %, respectively.     

ToF-SIMS analysis of surface-anchored organometallic clusters

ToF-SIMS analysis of the organometallic cluster Os₃(μ-H)(CO)₁₀(μ-SCH₂CH₂SH) chemically attached onto a silver or gold surface, and of the cluster fragment Os₃(μ-H)(CO)₁₀(μ-OSi) on a silica surface, allows for identification of the surface organometallic species, and also gives information on its reactivity.     

Anomalies in the asymmetric hydroboration of olefins with the 11 adduct of (+)-α-pinene and BH3 · THF

The hydroboration of cis-2-butene and cis-3-hexene with pure diisopinocampheylborane (IPC₂BH) and monoisopinocampheylborane (IPCBH₂), both prepared from (+)-α-pinene, were studied. In contrast to IPC₂BH, which yielded R-(?)-2-butanol and R-(?)-3-hexanol in 98.4 and 94.5% optical purities, IPCBH₂ yielded S-(+)-2-butanol and S-(+)-3-hexanol in 23.6 and 19.7% optical purifies respectively. PMR examination of the methanolyzed products were utilized to establish the species present in the freshly prepared and aged $\text{1}\text{1}$ adduct from (+)-α-pinene and BH₃ · THF. The results confirm the interpretation previously advanced for the major differences realized in asymmetric hydroboration with the fresh and aged $\text{1}\text{1}$ adducts.

Molecular structure and pseudopolymorphism of squamtin A from Annona squamosa

The cyclopeptide, squamtin A (1, formula: C₃₉H₆₀O₁₁N₈S), was found to crystallized in two pseudopolymorphisms, i.e. 1·(H₂O)_3.5 and 1·(H₂O)_3.9. The composition of the amino acids and their linkage sequences are the same. The main differences between the two kinds of crystals lie in the positions and occupancies of the water molecules, the positions of the sulfur atoms and the conformation of the side chains. The absolute configuration of 1 is established by X-ray analysis in combination with the Marfey's analysis of its hydrolysates.
