Asymmetric Diels-Alder Reactions of Chiral Menthyl α-Sulfinylacrylates

Introducing two chiral auxiliaries, sulfoxide and menthol, into an acrylate would have either matched or mismatched pair systems. The presence of chiral menthol in α-sulfinylacrylates can change the diastereoselectivity from 24% d.e. to a single diastereomer by manipulation of the double asymmetric strategy.     

乙苯脱氢铁系催化剂的穆斯堡尔谱研究

用穆斯堡尔法对乙苯脱氢铁系催化剂在反应条件下进行了研究。结果表明,反应前催化剂中的铁主要以α-Fe_2O_3和α-FeOOH的形式存在,在反应中主要组分为Fe_3O_4。用K_2CO_3和α-Fe_2O_3在高温下加热可以生成KFeO_2,后者在室温下很不稳定,在同样条件下很容易转化为Fe_3O_4。但钾的存在可促进催化剂中Fe~(3+)还原为Fe~(2+),有利于电子的交换,对催化活性起着助催作用。

生物质裂解产物的制备及HPLC检测其成分的虚拟仿真实验开发

In order to improve university laboratory teaching and practical education under the background of information technology, as well as overcome the difficulty for practical training, develop a virtual simulation experiment platform for rapid pyrolysis of natal materials and high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) detection of its components. The experiment integrates the actual operation process of the plant to produce cleaved products by rapid pyrolysis of biomass with HPLC detection. The virtual experiment is divided into biomass sample pretreatment, rapid biomass pyrolysis, bio-oil extraction, and HPLC determination of complex components, making the biomass cleavage workshop "real" through simulation. This virtual simulation experiment fully integrates the utilization of biomass resources and basic chemistry courses (such as organic chemistry, instrumental analysis, chemical engineering principles, etc.), which are widely involved in agricultural and forestry majors with advantageous characteristics value.     

“鱼”乐圈大揭秘

This article introduces the relationship between chemistry and fish farming, fish selling, and fish food. The nitrogen cycle process in fish ponds is introduced to explain the fish farming. "Yufuling" is used as the entry point to fish selling to connect food safety with chemistry. Fishy smell is explained from a chemical perspective for fish food. This paper aims at making a scientific explanation of life phenomena, deepening the consciousness of chemical life, helping people establish a correct view of chemical science, and inspiring youth to learn to use the knowledge that they have learned to explain life phenomena. This paper also tries to show the youth that life cannot be separated from chemistry, and chemistry cannot be separated from life.     

Chromatographic separation and mass spectrometric identification of positional isomers of polyethylene glycol-modified growth hormone-releasing factor (1-29)

A one-step chromatographic method capable of separating all isomers of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) (1-29) conjugates was developed. The unmodified GRF (1-29) and seven different isomers of PEG-GRF (1-29) conjugates were separated by using a simple reversed-phase HPLC method depending on the differences of hydrophobicity due to the number and site of PEG attachment. The PEGylation sites of all isomers of PEG-GRF (1-29) conjugates were identified by determining the molecular masses of the Lys-C digested fragments with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. This study is a first report for the separation of all PEG-conjugate isomers and would be useful for further studies to find the promising conjugate by evaluating biological activity and stability of each isomer.     

Tertiary amine-mediated synthesis of microporous carbon membranes

Microporous carbon membranes were prepared on an -alumina support by a pyrolysis of cationic tertiary amine/anionic polymer composites. The precursor solutions contain a thermosetting resorcinol/formaldehyde (RF) polymer and a cationic tertiary amine. Three types of cationic tertiary amines with different chain lengths were used, such as tetramethlammonium bromide (TMAB), tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPAB) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). A porous structure was produced by a decomposition of the amine and the resulting pores assisted the further gasification of the RF polymer at high temperature. The carbon/alumina membranes have thin and continuous carbon top layers with a thickness of 1 μm. Gas permeation tests were performed using single gases of CO₂, O₂, N₂, CF₄, n-C₄H₁₀ and i-C₄H₁₀, as well as binary mixtures of CH₄/n-C₄H₁₀ and N₂/CF₄ at different temperatures between 23 and 150 °C. The carbon membrane prepared using TMAB showed separation factors higher than 650 for the CH₄/n-C₄H₁₀ mixtures and higher than 8100 for the N₂/CF₄ mixture. From the permeation of pure gases with different molecular sizes, the pore sizes of the carbon membrane prepared using TMAB, TPAB and CTAB are estimated to be 4.0, 5.0 and larger than 5.5 Å, respectively, indicating that the micropore size of the carbon membranes is controllable by using different amines.     

Self-ordering process of phenanthrene polyesters observed by the simultaneous DSC-XRD method

Phase transition behavior of polyesters derived from 2,7-phenanthrene dicarbonic acid diethylester and alkanediols with even methylene carbon number was investigated by the simultaneous DSC-XRD method. The smectic A phase was observed on cooling from the molten state. The transition entropy from the isotropic state to the smectic A phase was about 9.0 J mol^-1 K^-1, which depended on the methylene carbon number. The linear expansion coefficients, based on the (001) spacing of the crystalline phase at room temperature, were 1.3·10^-4 K^-1 (crystalline phase), 5.7·10^-4 K^-1 (crystallization region), 1.7·10^-3 K^-1 (smectic A phase) during cooling, and 1.5·10^-4 K^-1 (crystalline phase), and 1.0·10^-3K^-1(melting region) on heating. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

β‐Amino Alcohol Properfumes

Amino‐alcohol derivatives of fragrant, volatile aldehydes and ketones were synthesized in a one‐pot procedure by sequential cyanohydrin formation with trimethylsilyl cyanide and reduction with lithium aluminium hydride, or by ammonolysis of epoxide precursors. The amino alcohols are nonvolatile, stable properfumes releasing fragrant carbonyls by oxidation with sodium periodate or sodium bismuthate. Examples include amino alcohol properfumes of citronellal, Lilial^®, lauryl aldehyde, menthone, benzaldehyde, and anisaldehyde.
