Synthesis and Ionic Conductivity of Network Polymer Electrolytes with Internal Plasticizers

Network polymer electrolytes with free oligo(oxyethylene) chains as internal plasticizers were prepared by cross-linking poly(ethylene glycol) acrylates. The effects of salt concentration and properties of internal plasticizers on ionic conductivity were studied.     

Redox behaviour of cysteine in the presence of ammonium trioxovanadate(V)

The interaction of ammonium trioxovanadate(V) with cysteine in aqueous solution was studied by cyclic voltammetry and absorption spectroscopy techniques. In the absence of cysteine, the cyclic voltammogram (CV) of ammonium trioxovanadate(V) solution in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7) gave two peaks at -0.130 V (reversible) and -0.400 V (irreversible). These peaks (-0.130 V, -0.400 V) can be attributed to V(V)/V(IV) and V(IV)/V(III) redox processes, respectively. In the presence of cysteine at low scan rate (40 mV/s), the peak at -0.780 V, which is assigned to the irreversible reduction of free cystine, was observed. In addition, the reduction peak of the disulfidic anion S(2)(2-) was seen at -0.650 V. Under aerobic conditions, the peaks of the disulfidic anion S(2)(2-) and free cystine are well separated. From electronic spectra of ammonium trioxovanadate(V) and cysteine mixtures, LMCT transition associated with V(V)-cyteine complex was obtained at 743 nm. The stoichiometry (ML(2)) and stability constant (log beta(1:2)=6.67) of V(V)-cysteine complex were determined by means of mole ratio method.     

The practical synthesis of a novel and highly potent analogue of bryostatin

Macrocycle 1 is a new highly potent analogue of bryostatin 1, a promising anti-cancer agent currently in human clinical trials. In vitro, 1 displays picomolar affinity for PKC and exhibits over 100-fold greater potency than bryostatin 1 when tested against various human cancer cell lines. Macrocycle 1 can be generated in clinically required amounts by chemical synthesis in only 19 steps (LLS) and represents a new clinical lead for the treatment of cancer.     

A Novel Preprocessing Algorithm for Three-Way HPLC Data

Orthogonal signal correction (OSC) was a data preprocessing algorithm. It ensured that the filtered information was irrelevant to concentration data while using it to filter the noise from the original data. This paper extended the OSC application range from two-way data to three-way data. Two drug data sets, Enoxacin, Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin and Betamethasone, cortisone acetate, prednisone acetate, showed that the application of the OSC algorithm to three-way HPLC data was feasible and needed further research.     

Three-component one-pot total syntheses of glyantrypine, fumiquinazoline F, and fiscalin B promoted by microwave irradiation

A microwave-promoted three-component one-pot reaction has been developed to provide access to the core pyrazino[2,1-b]quinazoline-3,6-dione (1) scaffold, which is common to several families of alkaloids with significant biological activities. By adapting this synthetic strategy through the use of selected Boc-amino acids and amino acid esters, we have accomplished highly efficient and concise total syntheses of glyantrypine (2), fumiquinazoline F (3), and fiscalin B (5), achieving overall yields of 55, 39, and 20%, respectively.

金属酞菁化合物在TiO2表面的分散研究

Dispersion of copper(Ⅱ) phthalocyanine (CuPc), copper(Ⅱ) phthalocyaninesulfonate (CuPcS) and cobalt(Ⅱ)phthalocyaninetetrasulfonate (CoPcTS) on the surface of titanium dioxide was investigated by XRD, XPS, FT-IR and UV-Vis techniques. Results show that interaction between CuPc and TiO2 was very weak and CuPc was difficult to disperse on the surface of the support. While partly sulfurized CuPcS could be dispersed on the surface of support through sulfo-groups and its dispersion capacity was determined to be 0.085 g CuPcS/g TiO2. Completely sulfurlzed CoPcTS could also be dispersed on the surface of TiO2 as a monolayer and its dispersion capacity was 0.12 g CoPcTS/g TiO2. Interactions of the sulfo-groups as well as the electrons of CoPcTS with the surface of TiO2 could be evidenced by FT-IR characterization. Therefore, it was suggested that CoPcTS molecules be adsorbed on the surface of TiO2 in a flat-lying mode while CuPcS in a slanting one. UV-Vis spectra show that the dispersed CuPcS and CoPcTS molecules exist in both forms of monomers and dimers.     

Analysis of fatty oil in Semen Ziziphi Spinosae by capillary gas chromatography

A simple and fast capillary gas chromatographic (CGC) method with flame ionization detection is developed for the analysis of fatty oil in Semen Ziziphi Spinosae. After methyl-esterification, eight components are identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The derivatization condition is investigated in order to validate this method. Palmitic acid and stearic acid are quantitated simultaneously. The limits of detection are 5.024 microg/mL for palmitic acid and 6.957 microg/mL for stearic acid, respectively. The limits of quantitation are 16.76 microg/mL for palmitic acid and 23.19 microg/mL for stearic acid, respectively. The percent recoveries of palmitic and stearic acid are 97.4% and 96.6%. CGC is shown to be a quick and informative tool for the analysis of fatty oil in Semen Ziziphi Spinosae.     

The synthesis and cationic polymerization of multifunctional silicon-containing epoxy monomers and oligomers

Several series of multifunctional silicon-containing epoxide monomers and oligomers have been prepared using rhodium catalyzed hydrosilation reactions. Dialkyl and diarylsilanes can be condensed with vinyl epoxides to give high yields of the desired diepoxides while the hydrosilation of alkyl and aryl silanes yields a mixture of di and tri epoxy substituted products. The condensation of αω,? Si? H difunctional compounds with vinyl epoxides can be carried out regioselectively to give α-hydrogen-ω-epoxy intermediates, which can be further reacted with di and tri olefins bearing terminal double bonds to give a series of well characterized epoxy functional oligomers. An investigation of the photoinitiated cationic polymerization of the monomers and oligomers, which were prepared during the course of these studies, was carried out. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
