Preparation of multisubstituted allenes from allylsilanes

[reaction: see text] A three-step route of converting allylsilanes to functionalized allenes was developed. Thermal decomposition of 1,1-dibromo-2-(silylmethyl)cyclopropanes, which were quantitatively prepared by treatment of allylsilane derivatives with CHBr3/KO(t)Bu, afforded substituted 2-bromo-1,3-butadienes with elimination of bromosilanes. The Pd-catalyzed reaction of the bromodienes with soft nucleophiles gave the allene derivatives. Previously inaccessible tri- and tetrasubstituted allenes can be prepared by this method as well.     

Effect of Pluronic F127 on the pore structure of macrocellular biodegradable polylactide foams

Thermally induced phase separation technique was utilized to fabricate biodegradable poly(l ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) macrocellular foams which were capable of being applied in tissue engineering. The block copolymer Pluronic F127 composed of (polyethyleneoxide)‐(polypropyleneoxide)‐(polyethyleneoxide) [(PEO)‐(PPO)‐(PEO)] was used as a porogen. Water/dioxane mixtures with different volume ratios were used as solvents. The addition of Pluronic F127 could induce an appearance of large pores (50–200 μm) besides small pores (10–20 μm) or a change from a solid–liquid phase separation to a liquid–liquid phase separation. The role of Pluronic F127 depends on the water/dioxane ratios in the PLLA/dioxane/water system. The X‐ray diffraction patterns and porosity measurement results showed that Pluronic F127 was crystallized and existed on the pore wall. The effect of Pluronic F127 on changing pore structure is attributed to the occurrence of the interaction of the lipophilic PPO blocks in Pluronic F127 with PLLA clews, consequently, this results in PLLA aggregation and early phase separation on cooling.

Microwave-assisted deformylation of N-aryl formamide by KF on basic Al2O3

The formyl group was successfully removed from N-aryl formamide by KF on a solid support of basic Al₂O₃ in 4-20 min with microwave irradiation. The conditions mimic base-catalyzed hydrolysis of formamide and are compatible with carbamates and t-butyl esters, but not methyl, ethyl, and benzyl esters.

Unlabeled Fluoroimmunoassay with a Europium Chelate

Unlabeled fluoroimmunoassay with a europium chelate is described. The recommended method is simple because the complicated labeling process is omitted. The recovery of some samples ranges from 91 to 111%. The relative standard deviation of the method is less than 10%. The detection limit is about 10⁻¹⁰mol liter⁻¹antigen.     

Plasmid DNA isolation using amino-silica coated magnetic nanoparticles (ASMNPs)

A simple and efficient approach for the rapid isolation of plasmid DNA from crude cell lysates has been described. The approach took advantage of the amino-modified silica coated magnetic nanoparticles (ASMNPs) with positive zeta potential at neutral pH and superparamagnetism under the external magnetic fields. As a demonstration, the pEGFP-N3 plasmid has been concentrated and isolated from the E. coli DH5α transformed with pEGFP-N3 plasmid through electrostatic binding between the positive charge of the amino group of ASMNPs and the negative charge of the phosphate groups of the plasmid DNA. Then the pEGFP-N3 plasmid has been released easily and quickly from the pEGFP-N3 plasmid-ASMNPs complexes with 3 M NaCl. The entire procedure could be carried out by the aid of external magnetic fields in 15 min and eliminate the need of phenol, cesium chloride gradients or other noxious reagents and complexes operation. Moreover, the pEGFP-N3 plasmid obtained by this approach retains biological activity that can be suitable for restriction enzyme digestion and cells transfection with expression of green fluorescence protein.     

Pt/HM和Pd/HM催化剂表面氧的恢复与供出活化能测定

催化氧化是最重要的工业催化反应之一。七十年代以来,关于氧化催化剂的基础研究取得了长足的进步,采用各种手段对氧化催化剂的表面及体相氧种进行了考察。本文作者根据研究实用氧化催化剂的经验,结合控制论方法,亦提出了多相催化氧化反应的集团结构适应性规律。近年来,作者用TPD和吸附平衡法研究了V_2O_5/SiO_2催化剂表面氧的种类、数目和供出活性,较好地关联了催化氧化的一些事实,使以上规律更趋于半定量化。在多相氧化反应中,催化剂表面活性氧不断处于供出和恢复的循环之中,催化剂表面氧中心的供

A highly enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of aldehydes with Danishefsky's diene catalyzed by chiral titanium(IV) 5,5',6,6',7,7',8,8'-octahydro-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol complexes

The catalytic effect of chiral Lewis acids on the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction between aldehydes and Danishefsky's diene (1) has been investigated. A variety of combinations of different ligands and Lewis acids have been examined as catalysts for the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction between benzaldehyde and 1, and it has been found that the readily accessible Ti(IV)-H(8)-BINOL (TiHBOL) complex is a very effective catalyst for the reaction, leading to products with very high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) and yield (92%). The hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of other aldehydes with 1 under the catalysis of TiHBOL is a general reaction which proceeds well with very high enantioselectivity and isolated yield for various aldehydes at 0 degrees C to room temperature. Based on the experimental results, the proposed mechanism of the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction and the dihedral angle effects of ligands are discussed.
