A simple and efficient biphasic method for the preparation of 4-nitrophenyl N-methyl- and N-alkylcarbamates

Treatment of 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate with alkylammonium hydrochloride salts and solid anhydrous Na₂CO₃ in either CH₂Cl₂ or CH₃CN gave 4-nitrophenyl N-methylcarbamate and other N-alkylcarbamate analogues in excellent yields. Of particular interest is the observation that 4-nitrophenyl N-methylcarbamate, a safer alternative to the highly toxic methyl isocyanate, is obtained in quantitative yield (?95% pure as determined by ¹H NMR) after simple filtration and solvent evaporation.

Preparative isolation and purification of three rotenoids and one isoflavone from the seeds of Millettia pachycarpa Benth by high-speed counter-current chromatography

Both analytical and preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) were used to isolate and separate chemical bioactive constituents from the seeds of Millettia pachycarpa Benth, a famous traditional Chinese medicine. Three rotenoids and one isoflavone were successfully purified for the first time by HSCCC with a two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (HEMWat) (1:0.8:1:0.6, v/v/v/v). The separation parameters were first performed on the analytical HSCCC and optimized conditions were then scaled up to preparative HSCCC. The separation produced 160.2 mg tephrosin, 14.6 mg 4',5'-dimethoxy-6,6-dimethylpyranoisoflavone, 109.4 mg deguelin, 6.7 mg 6a,12a-dehydrodeguelin with respective purities of 95, 93, 95, 95%, in one single run from 400 mg crude extract of the seeds of M. pachycarpa Benth. The purity of the isolated compounds was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and their structures were identified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS); (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR) and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance ((13)C NMR) analysis. This paper is an excellent example of the role that CCC is playing in isolating active compounds for pre-clinical trials of new chemical entities, even when scaling up between centrifuges from different manufacturers.     

纳米富勒烯(nC60)的生态毒性效应

随着纳米技术的飞速发展,纳米材料的应用日趋广泛.同时,纳米材料的大规模生产和应用对人体健康与生态环境可能产生的安全风险也引起了人们的普遍关注.富勒烯是应用最广泛的纳米材料之一,在水中能形成稳定的水溶性纳米颗粒,进而增大其在环境中的迁移性与生物暴露几率.然而目前对纳米富勒烯(nC60)的环境和毒性效应还知之甚少.本文综合评述了水溶性nC60纳米颗粒的制备、稳定机制、在环境中的迁移特性及其与环境中污染物的相互作用,并着重阐述了nC60可能产生的生物毒性效应.分析表明,nC60的生物毒性效应主要与nC60的表面化学特性和颗粒大小有关,同时环境介质也影响nC60的毒性.最后讨论了nC60生态环境效应研究中应加强的若干方面.

Air-stable n-type semiconductor: core-perfluoroalkylated perylene bisimides

A series of core-perfluoroalkylated perylene bisimides (PBIs) have been efficiently synthesized by copper-mediated perfluoroalkylation of dibrominated PBIs. Their aromatic cores are highly twisted due to the steric encumbrance in the bay regions as revealed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) incorporating these new n-type semiconductors show remarkable air-stability and good field effect mobility.     

Adsorption of arsenate on lanthanum-impregnated activated alumina: In situ ATR-FTIR and two-dimensional correlation analysis study

Lanthanum modified materials have been widely used for the removal of hazardous anions.In this study,in situ ATR-FTIR and two-dimensional correlation analysis were employed to investigate the adsorption mechanism of arsenate（As（V）） on lanthanum-impregnated activated alumina（LAA）.Our results showed that electrostatic interaction attracted As（V） anions to the LAA surface,and then As（V） could form monodentate configuration on the LAA surface at pH 5-9.The result of 2D-COS showed that two coexistent adsorbed As（V） species,H₂AsO₄^- and HAsO₄^2-,were adsorbed on the LAA surface without specific sequence at different pH conditions,indicating a negligible role of the incorporated protons of As（V） on the adsorption affinity to LAA surface.The results of this study reveal insights into LAA surface complexes on the molecular scale and provide theoretical support to new metal oxides design for efficient arsenic removal.     

Two homosecoiridoids from the fl ower buds of Lonicera japonica

Two new homosecoiridoids, named loniaceticiridoside (1) and lonimalondialiridoside (2), were isolated from an aqueous extract of the flower buds of Lonicera japonica. Their structures including the absolute configuration were determined by extensive spectroscopic studies, especially by 2D NMR and CD data analysis. A proposed biosynthetic pathway and preliminary investigations of the biological activity of compounds 1 and 2 are also discussed.     

Competitive and noncompetitive phage immunoassays for the determination of benzothiostrobin

Twenty-three phage-displayed peptides that specifically bind to an anti-benzothiostrobin monoclonal antibody (mAb) in the absence or presence of benzothiostrobin were isolated from a cyclic 8-residue peptide phage library. Competitive and noncompetitive phage enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for benzothiostrobin were developed by using a clone C3-3 specific to the benzothiostrobin-free mAb and a clone N6-18 specific to the benzothiostrobin immunocomplex, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the half maximal inhibition concentration (IC₅₀) of the competitive phage ELISA and the concentration of analyte producing 50% saturation of the signal (SC₅₀) of the noncompetitive phage ELISA for benzothiostrobin were 0.94 and 2.27 ng mL⁻¹, respectively. The noncompetitive phage ELISA showed higher selectivity compared to the competitive. Recoveries of the competitive and the noncompetitive phage ELISAs for benzothiostrobin in cucumber, tomato, pear and rice samples were 67.6–119.6% and 70.4–125.0%, respectively. The amounts of benzothiostrobin in the containing incurred residues samples detected by the two types of phage ELISAs were significantly correlated with that detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
