The cover picture shows a typical building within the Campus of Xiamen University displaying Chen Jiageng (Tan Kah Kee)'s style. Just like many beautiful buildings designed and constructed by human, Nature “designs and constructs” a huge number of useful molecules with fascinating structures called natural products. Many natural products possess a fused six or seven‐membered carbocyclic unity. On page 315–322, the Huang's group disclosed a three‐step “[2+n]” annulation method for the construction of fused six and seven‐membered carbocyclic enimines and enones. The method starts from simple cyclic ketones and terminal olefinic amides, and relies on both the Suzuki coupling reaction and the olefin‐amide based Friedel‐Crafts type acylating reaction, a method developed by Huang and coworkers.
The efficient synthesis of eight new macrocyclic amides (lactams) via reaction of diesters with diamines under normal dilution conditions is described. The role of intermolecular H‐bond formation and steric hindrance is discussed based on 1H‐ and 15N‐NMR studies of appropriate model compounds. Principles for the optimal choice of esters that can be efficiently transformed into diamides have been developed. 相似文献
Asymmetric dimers consisting of gold microcrystals and spherical silica colloids have been fabricated by depositing thin films of gold onto the spherical colloids to form half-shells, followed by annealing at elevated temperatures. The capability and feasibility of this procedure have been demonstrated with silica and titania beads of 0.2-2 mum in diameter and gamma-Fe2O3/polystyrene@SiO2 core-shell particles 0.5 mum in size. The dimensions of gold microcrystals could be conveniently varied in the range of 100-650 nm by controlling the thickness of gold films and/or the diameter of the spherical colloids. This method provides another route to asymmetric dimers made of colloidal particles that could be different in size, chemical composition, surface functionality, density or sign of surface charge, bulk property, or a combination of these properties. 相似文献
Two new xanthone glycosides,polygalaxanthone IV and V were isolated from the roots of Polygala tenuifolia Willd. Their structures were established as 6-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-1-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyxanthone(polygalaxanthone IV), and 6-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-1,3-dihydroxyl-7-methoxyxanthone (polyga-laxanthone V),respectively, on the basis of chemical and spectral evidence. 相似文献
A new method based on hollow fiber-protected liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) was developed for the simultaneous determination
of atrazine, desethyl atrazine and desisopropyl atrazine in environmental water samples. In LPME, analytes were extracted
into 1-octanol immobilized in the micropores of a poly(vinylidene fluoride) porous hollow fiber membrane, and back extracted
into the acceptor (4 M HCl) filled in the lumen of the hollow fiber. After LPME, the analytes trapped in the acceptor were
analyzed with high-performance liquid chromatography after neutralization. The effect of extraction factors such as sample
pH, acceptor pH, salinity, extraction time, stirring rate, and humic acid were studied. Under the optimized conditions, the
limits of detection and relative standard deviations were respectively in the range of 0.5–1.0 μg L−1 and 3.9–4.7% (n = 5). The proposed method was applied to determine atrazine, desethyl atrazine and desisopropyl atrazine in wastewater and
groundwater samples. The three analytes were below the limits of detection, but good relative spiked recoveries over 90.1
± 5.9% at 5 μg L−1 spiked level were obtained. 相似文献
A highly efficient Pd/C-catalyzed ligandless, heterogeneous Suzuki reaction of p-(un)substituted phenyl halide with (p-substituted phenyl)boronic acid in DMF/H2O solvent in a short reaction time (0.5 h) at 75 ℃ was developed. The key for such a catalytic system was the addition of 1 equivalent of tetrabutylammonium bromide. A wide variety of substituents can be tolerated and high yields of cross coupling products were achieved. The palladium catalyst can be easily recovered and reused without significantly decreasing its efficiency. 相似文献
Mercury(II) Chloride and Iodide Complexes of Dithia‐ and Tetrathiacrown Ethers The complexes [(HgCl2)2((ch)230S4O6)] ( 1 ), [HgCl2(mn21S2O5)] ( 2 ), [HgCl2(ch18S2O4)] ( 3 ) and [HgI(meb12S2O2)]2[Hg2I6] ( 4 ) have been synthesized, characterized and their crystal structures were determined. In [(HgCl2)2((ch)230S4O6)] two HgCl2 units are discretely bonded within the ligand cavity of the 30‐membered dichinoxaline‐tetrathia‐30‐crown‐10 ((ch)230S4O6) forming a binuclear complex. HgCl2 forms 1 : 1 “in‐cavity” complexes with the 21‐membered maleonitrile‐dithia‐21‐crown‐7 (mn21S2O5) ligand and the 18‐membered chinoxaline‐dithia‐18‐crown‐6 (ch18S2O4) ligand, respectively. The 12‐membered 4‐methyl‐benzo‐dithia‐12‐crown‐4 (meb12S2O2) ligand gave with two equivalents HgI2 the compound [HgI(meb12S2O2)]2[Hg2I6]. In the cation [HgI(meb12S2O2)]+ meb12S2O2 forms with the cation HgI+ a half‐sandwich complex. 相似文献
The Ullmann-type coupling reaction of vinyl bromides and imidazoles in ILs at 90-110 degrees C gave the corresponding N-vinylimidazoles in good to excellent yields by using L-proline as the ligand; the double bond geometry of the vinyl bromides was retained under the reaction conditions. 相似文献
