Synthesis of （2R,4R）—2—N—tert—Butyloxycarbonyl Amino—4,5—epoxido—valeric Acid Methyl Ester

The stereoselective synthesis of (2R,4R)-2-N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl amino-4,5-epoxido-valeric acid methyl ester 8,which is the key intermediate for the synthesis of (2′S,2R)-3-trans-nitrocyclopropyl-alanine,was first accomplished.     

Efficient Synthesis of 3—N—Phthaloyl Homophenylalanine Lactone

A new method for the synthesis of 3-N-phthaloyl homophenylalanine lactone has been developed and its mechanism was proposed.     

Norditerpenoid Alkaloids from the Roots of Aconitum hemsleyanum Pritz.var.Pengzhouense

In continuation of our studies on Aconitum hemsleyanum Pritz.var. pengzhouense, two new norditerpenoid alkaloids, pengshenines A(1) and B(2),have isolated from the roots of the plants and their strucures were elucidated by 1D-and 2D-NMR.     

Synthesis of NiFe2O4 Powders Well Defined in Size and Morphologies

The uniform NeFe2O4 powders with different particle size and morphologies (octahedral, cubic and spherical) have been prepared from different precursors via hydrothermal process. The nanocrystallines derived from precursor B in the weak alkali solution (pH≥10) are superparamagnetic.     

The Synthesis of Third—order Optical Nonlinear Organic Polyheterocyclic Materials

Synthesis of the third-order nonlinear materials:bis (1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene) tetrathiafulvalene and bis (1,4-dialkoxylnaphthalene) tetrathiafulvalene has been achieved in four steps, starting from 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthaquinone. The materials exhibit larger third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities χ.     

A Novel Diterpenoid,11—O—β—D—glucopyranosylneo—triptophenolide, from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f

A new diterpenoid was isolated from the ethanolic extract of the dried root bark of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f. It is the first example of abietane diterpenoid glycoside isolated from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f.Its structure was identified to be 11-0-β-D-glucopyranosyl-neotriptophenolide based on spectral methods.     

Two Novel Myrinsol Diterpenes from Euphorbia prolifera

Two novel diterpenes,Euphorprolitherin A(1) and Euphorprolitherin B(2), were isolated from the roots of Euphorbia prolifera. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods.     

Enantiomeric Sesquiterpene Lactones from Senecio tsoongianus

From Senecio tsoongianus,two pairs of enantiomeric isomers,tsoongianolides A(1) and B(2),tsoongianolides C (3) and D(4) were isolated. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D-NMR techniques and X-ray diffractions. The cytotoxicity to KB cell of 1 and 2 is also reported.     

A New Application of Carbon Nanotubes Constructing Biosensor

Carbon nanotubes used for constructing biosensor was described for the first time. Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) functionalized with carboxylic acid groups were used to immobilize glucose oxidase forming a glucose biosensor. The biosensor response can be determined by amperometric method at a low applied potential (0.40V).     

Preintercalation of Layered γ—Zirconium Phosphate for Preparation of Immobilized Hemoglobin

Layered γ-Zirconium phosphate (γ-ZrP) preintercalated with butylamine,tetra(n-butylammonium)hydroxide,dimethylamine respectively,or only ultrasonificated,for preparation of immobilized hemoglobin were in vestigated in this report.
