Total synthesis of crotophorbolone

As a natural diterpenoid, crotophorbolone possesses a challenging trans,trans-5/7/6 framework decorated with six contiguous stereogenic centers and is structurally and biogenetically related to tigliane-type diterpenoids with intriguing bioactivities such as phorbol and prostratin. Based on the convergent strategy, we completed an eighteen-step total synthesis of crotophorbolone starting from (−)-carvone and (+)-dimethyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-l-tartrate. The key elements of the synthesis involve expedient installation of the six-membered ring and the five-membered ring with multiple functional groups at an early stage, cyclization of the seven-membered ring through alkenylation of the ketone between the five-membered ring and the six-membered ring, functional group-sensitive ring-closing metathesis and final selective introduction of hydroxyls at C₂₀ and C₄.

Convergent total synthesis of crotophorbolone was accomplished in 18 longest linear steps. Observation of unexpected thermodynamic stability of a cis,trans-5/7/6 tricycle would benefit synthetic design of tigliane- and daphnane-related diterpenoids.     

Reduction of 4-nitrophenol catalyzed by nitroreductase

The reduction of 4-nitrophenol catalyzed by nitroreductase in the presence of NADH was investigated in this paper.4-Amino- phenol and 4-bydroxylamino-phenol were found in the reductive products.The relationship between reaction time and the reductive ratio were studied.The similar reducing ratios of 4-nitrophenol were obtained under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.The results indicated that an oxygen-insensitive reaction was proceeded in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and nitroreductase was an oxygen- insensitive enzyme.The reductive products of 4-nitrophenol were determined by HPLC and MS.     

Interfacial properties of self-organized TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanotubes studied by impedance spectroscopy

The semiconductor properties of the interface TiO₂/electrolyte in high organized porous oxide structures were analyzed by means of impedance spectroscopy near the flat band potential. The impedance and capacitance studies performed on the as-anodized and thermally treated samples (anatase) indicate the presence of a duplex structure formed by (1) the oxide at the bottom of the pores and (2) the walls of pores with different donor densities and surface state concentrations.     

Multiple sprayer system for high-throughput electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

A multiple sprayer electrospray ion source for high-throughput analysis is described. The ion source is comprised of multiple electrospray capillaries, each with an ion lens located near the tip. The electric potentials applied to the ion lenses are used to control the sprayers. The use of ion lenses eliminates the need for mechanical blocking devices to selectively enable or disable the sprayers, and results in a less expensive and more reliable set-up. Sprayers can be enabled or disabled within approximately 50-250 ms when the lens potentials are controlled manually. For simultaneous operation of multiple electrospray capillaries, it is advantageous to orient the capillaries so that the spray from each passes directly in front of the entrance aperture of the mass spectrometer.     

新生儿硬肿症危险因素分析

为探讨新生儿硬肿症发病的危险因素，以便有效地预防该病，以41例硬肿症新生儿为研究对象，并设疾病对照组，运用多元Logistic回归，对8项可疑因素进行了分析。结果表明，早产，低体重，窒息和感染， 毒最终进入方程（P＞0．05），且OR值均大于1，是硬肿症发病的危险因素。硬肿症是原发病的一个并发症和严重征兆。寒冷不是本地区硬肿症的常见病因。流动人口的新生儿是硬肿症的高危人群。加强围产期母婴保健，普及新法复苏，感染的预防和早期有效干预，早产，低体重儿和重新新生儿热能供给和维持内环境平衡是预防硬肿症的有效措施。     

Ab initio studies on the thermolysis of azetidine

The reaction mechanism of the thermolysis of azetidine to form ethylene and methylen-imine has been studied by ab initio SCF MO method at STO--3G and 3-21G levels. Two possible step-wise pathways are explored. One is the breaking of C--C bond as the first step, while the other is thebreaking of C--N bond. All the stationary points on the potential energy surface (PES) are fully optimiz-ed. MP2 / 3-21G single point calculations on all stationary points and MCSCF / STO-3G computationsfor some stationary points are also carried out. The calculations indicate that azetidine decomposesvia biradicaloid intermediates and the cleavage of C--N bond is preferable to that of C--C bond.     

甲烷在Mo/HZSM-5催化剂上的脱氢聚合反应

对不同Mo含量的Mo／HZSM－5催化剂的结构进行了表征，并对这些催化剂的甲烷非氧气氛下的转化反应进行了考察．催化剂的BET比表面积及酸性随Mo含量的增加而降低，当Mo含量大于5％时，Mo对ZSM－5分子筛的晶型有影响，并出现MoO3物相．甲烷在700℃时可高选择性地生成苯和乙烯，最佳Mo含量大约为2％．纯的MoO3或HZSM－5上该反应几乎不进行，因此，可能是分散的钼氧离子和分子筛的酸中心是甲烷转化的活性中心，只有二者的协同作用才能促进甲烷的转化．反应后催化剂中的钼物种被还原了．催化剂上的积炭可能是催化剂失活的主要原因之一，烧炭后催化剂活性基本恢复．     

Bi+N2O化学发光反应机理研究

The emission spectra of BiO(A ~2Π_(1/2)) have been first obtained by studying the reaction Bi+N_2O in the heat pipe oven. 18 new bands are obtained from the emission spectra of BiO(A ~2Π_(1/2)) which are attributed to the reaction of atomic Bi~*(~2D_(3/2)) with N_2O(~1Σ_g~+). The metastable Bi~*(~2D_(3/2)) is produced by the following processes: Bi(~4S_(3/2))+N_2O(~1Σ_g~+)→BiO(X_2~2Π_(3/2)), and then,BiO(X_2~2Π_(3/2))+Bi(~4S_(3/2))→Bi~*(~2D_(3/2))+BiO(X_1~2Π_(1/2)).     

Heat transfer from a rarefied plasma flow to a metallic or nonmetallic particle

Heat transfer from a plasma flow to a metallic or nonmetallic spherical particle is studied in this paper for the extreme case of free-molecule flow regime. Analytical expressions are derived for the heat flux due to, respectively, atoms, ions, and electrons and for the floating potential on the sphere exposed to a two-temperature plasma flow. It has been shown that the local or average heat flux density over the whole sphere is independent of the sphere radius and approximately in direct proportion to the gas pressure. The presence of a macroscopic relative velocity between the plasma and the sphere causes substantially nonuniform distributions of the local heat flux and enhances the total heat flux to the sphere. The heat flux is also enhanced by the gas ionization. Appreciable difference between metallic and nonmetallic spheres is found in the distributions along the oncoming flow direction of the floating potential and of the local heat flux densities due to ions and electrons. The total heat flux to the whole sphere is, however, almost the same for these different spheres. For a fixed value of the electron temperature, the heat flux decreases with increasing temperature ratio T_e/T_h.
