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.     

A Facile Three-Component One-Pot Synthesis of Structurally Constrained Tetrahydrofurans, Which Are t-RNA Synthetase Inhibitor Analogues

A one-pot procedure for the efficient synthesis of a small library of t-RNA inhibitor analogues was developed. Thus,Rh2(OAc)4 catalyzed three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of carbonyl ylides derived from diazoindan-1,3-dione and aldehydes with other dipolarophiles in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane at 80 ℃ gave ring fused tetrahydrofurans having three stereocenters in good yield.     

Rheological Behavior for Mica-filled Polypropylene Composite Melts

The study on rheological properties of a series of mica-filled polypropylene (PP) composites was carried out. The influence of surface-treatment of mica particles on dynamic rheological behavior of the composites were dealt with. The viscosity (η) and dynamic modulus ( G‘ ) of the composite melts were higher than those of PP matrix, especially those for systems treated with silane, which was attributed to the interfacial adhesion enhancement. However, surface-treatment of mica by titanate resulted in lower η and G‘, as compared with the treatment by silane. The reason for this is believed to be the formation of the mono-molecular layer on the mica surface.     

Laser-assisted electron capture by a fast proton from a hydrogen atom

The first Born approximation is used to study the laser-assisted electron capture by a fast proton from a hydrogen atom. The laser modification on differential cross section peaks sharply in the forward direction. With the impact energy increasing, the change in integral cross section becomes notable. The more intense the laser, the greater the cross section is; the lower the frequency, the greater the cross section.     

热处理过程中聚酯长丝的形态变化

在自制的红外三因素处理机上~[1],用红外加热在定张力下对聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)成品长丝进行热处理(二次定型)。用X-光衍射(WAXS)、X-光小角散射(DAXS)、红外光谱(IR)和双折射方法,测定样品的热收缩、结晶度、晶粒尺寸和取向、非晶取向、长周期和链折叠带强度。所得形态参数的变化表明,处理温度在200℃以上时,张力不再阻碍链折叠。不同定张力样品的形态研究表明,存在阻碍链折叠的某个张力转折值。本文条件下,这个张力值为f_(critical)=0.066g/dtex 。张力大于此值,链折叠过程受阻。     

TM模场入射到金属光栅的表面增强喇曼散射计算分析

以纳米量级金属履带矩形光栅为模型,研究了表面增强喇曼散射的特性.针对TM模的入射光,采用严格的耦合波原理对金属表面的衍射场进行了分析,并用数值计算方法讨论了光栅深度、光栅占空比等参量对金属表面增强的影响以及增强因子随光栅深度的变化关系.结果显示：当入射光波长为700 nm、入射角度为10°、光栅周期p=600 nm、 光栅深度d=37.5 nm、占空比为1/3时,获得最大增强,增强因子G达104倍.     

五阶非线性下零色散附近的调制不稳定性

在同时考虑光纤损耗、高阶色散以及高阶非线性情况下,从广义非线性薛定谔方程出发,研究了零色散附近的调制不稳定性,分析了四阶色散和五阶非线性对增益谱的影响.结果表明：当光脉冲工作在零色散附近时,四阶色散对调制不稳定性起决定作用,它使反常色散区的增益谱变宽.在光纤正常色散区,正（负）五阶非线性使增益谱的谱宽和峰值增大（减小）;但在反常色散区,五阶非线性仅改变增益谱的峰值,几乎不影响谱宽.
