Spacial Structure of Cationic Phosphorus Ligand–Ru (II) Halide Complexes—by DFT Study

The increasing demand to produce enantio-pure pharmaceuticals, flavors, and other fine chemicals has advanced the field of asymmetry catalytic technologies. Among all asymmetry catalytic methods, catalytic enantioselective hydrogenation of unsaturated bonds such as olefins, ketones, and imines, which employs dihydrogen and small amounts of transition-metal complexes modified intrinsically by chiral ligands, is now recognized as being the most promising strategy for the synthesis of large amount…     

Solvent-assisted catalysis mechanism on Keto–enol tautomerism of cyameluric acid

The keto–enol tautomerism of cyameluric acid, both in gas phase and in water and methanol solution, has been studied at the B3LYP/6-31++g(d,P) level of theory in this paper. The harmonic frequencies of all the structures are calculated. The results show that the transition states of the tautomerism are 4-membered ring conformations in gas phase, whereas 6-membered ring conformations in solution. In the first proton transfer, activation energy ΔE^# is 56.4 and 50.9 kJ/mol for water and methanol solution, respectively, which is much lower than that in gas phase (163.2 kJ/mol). Solvent molecules (water and methanol) produce an important catalytic effect in the tautomerism, especially for methanol-solvated system. NBO analysis shows that there is a strong interaction between cyameluric acid and solvent molecules in transition states. AIM charge analysis indicates that the keto–enol tautomerism shows a certain degree of proton transfer character. From the reaction enthalpy and reaction rate point of view, keto–enol tautomerism in water-solvated and methanol-solvated system is easier than that in gas phase. The keto–enol tautomerisms are endothermic both in gas phase and in solution, so the enol forms are less stable than the keto ones.

Triterpenoid Saponins from Schefflera arboricola

Four new triterpenoid saponins, named scheffarboside A – D ( 1 – 4 ), along with five known saponins were isolated from the stems of Schefflera arboricola. The structures of the four new saponins were determined as 3‐O‐(O‐β‐glucuronopyranosyl‐(1 → 3)‐O‐α‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐α‐arabinopyranosyl)oleanolic acid ( 1 ), 3‐O‐(O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 4)‐O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 3)‐O‐α‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐α‐arabinopyranosyl)oleanolic acid ( 2 ), 3‐O‐(O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 4)‐O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 3)‐O‐α‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐α‐arabinopyranosyl)hederagenin ( 3 ), 3‐O‐(O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 4)‐O‐α‐arabinopyranosyl‐(1 → 3)‐O‐α‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐α‐arabinopyranosyl)oleanolic acid O‐α‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1 → 4)‐O‐β‐glucopyranosyl‐(1 → 6)‐β‐glucopyranosylester ( 4 ), respectively, on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical degradation methods.     

Electrocatalysis of the SiC Particle‐Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode for the Oxidation of Adrenaline

The electrocatalytic properties of the SiC particle‐modified glassy carbon electrode (MGC) for adrenaline oxidation were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), double‐potential step chronocoulometry (DPSCC), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques in McIlvaine buffer solution. It was shown that the electrode modified with SiC particles markedly displayed an electrocatalytic effect on the process of the electrochemical reaction of adrenaline, i.e., the activity and the reversibility of the MGC electrode has been significantly improved. This was attributed to the adsorption effect of the electroactive adrenaline molecules on the MGC electrode surface.

Preparation and characterization of a novel pH-sensitive ion exchange resin

Methylacrylic acid/styrene cross-linked with divinylbenzene is a novel pH-sensitive ion exchange resin. Microspheres of this resin were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The microspheres showed a pulsatile swelling behavior when the pH of the media changed. The pH-sensitive microspheres were loaded with salbutamol sulfate and the drug-release characteristics were studied under both simulated gastric and intestinal pH conditions. The results obtained showed that the drug release also depended on the pH of the release media.
