Synthesis of 3-substituted-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxides from the Baylis-Hillman adducts of o-nitrobenzaldehydes

The reaction of the Baylis-Hillman adducts 1b-f derived from o-nitrobenzaldehydes in trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of triflic acid (0.2 equiv.) afforded 3-substituted-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxides 2b-e and 2a in good to moderate yields. The reaction mechanism was evidenced by the experiment with 1f, the Baylis-Hillman adduct of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde N-tosylimine, as the one involving N-hydroxyisoxazoline as the key intermediate.     

Reversible anion exchanges between the layered organic-inorganic hybridized architectures: syntheses and structures of manganese(II) and copper(II) complexes containing novel tripodal ligands

Six noninterpenetrating organic-inorganic hybridized coordination complexes, [Mn(3)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](ClO(4))(2).2 H(2)O (5), [Mn(3)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](NO(3))(2) (6), [Mn(3)(2)(N(3))(2)].2 H(2)O (7), [Cu(3)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (8), [Mn(4)(2)(H(2)O)(SO(4))].CH(3)OH.5 H(2)O (9) and [Mn(4)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (10) were obtained through self-assembly of novel tripodal ligands, 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene (3) and 1,3-bis(1-imidazolyl)-5-(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (4) with the corresponding metal salts, respectively. Their structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. The results of structural analysis of complexes 5, 6, 7, and 8 with rigid ligand 3 indicate that their structures are mainly dependant on the nature of the organic ligand and geometric need of the metal ions, but not influenced greatly by the anions and metal ions. While in complexes 9 and 10, which contain the flexible ligand 4, the counteranion plays an important role in the formation of the frameworks. Entirely different structures of complexes 5 and 10 indicate that the organic ligands greatly affect the structures of assemblies. Furthermore, in complexes 5 and 6, the counteranions located between the cationic layers can be exchanged by other anions. Reversible anion exchanges between complexes 5 and 6 without destruction of the frameworks demonstrate that 5 and 6 can act as cationic layered materials for anion exchange, as determined by IR spectroscopy, elemental analyses, and X-ray powder diffraction.     

Reaction mechanism studies on isoquinoline with hydroxyl radical in aqueous solutions

The reaction mechanism between isoquinoline and ·OH radical in aqueous dilute solutions under different conditions was studied by pulse radiolysis. The main characteristic peaks in these transient absorption spectra were attributed and the growth-decay trends of several transient species were investigated. Under neutral or alkaline conditions, the reaction of ·OH radical and isoquinoline produces OH-adducts with respective rate constants of 3.4 × 10⁹ and 6.6 × 10⁹ mol⁻¹ · dm³ · s⁻¹ while under acidic conditions, the isoquinoline was firstly protonated and then ·OH added to the benzene ring and produced protonated isoquinoline OH-adducts with a rate constant of 3.9 × 10⁹ mol⁻¹ · dm³ · s⁻¹. With a better understanding on radiolysis of isoquinoline, this study is of help for its degradation and for environmental protection. __________ Translated from Journal of Fudan University (Natural Science), 2006, 45(6): 774–778 [8BD1;81EA: 590D;65E6;5B66;62A5;(自然科学版)]     

矩形截面毛细管电泳和二维分离

在石英单晶表面制成矩矩截面毛细管柱中进行电泳实验。由于矩形柱比圆形柱有更大散热侧面积且石英单晶的导热性能远无于熔融石英，所以可施加较高的场强，不仅提高了柱效，而且缩矩了分离时间。两相交的通道之间形成自然连接，可实现二维分离，并消除死体积。     

Photochemically Induced Solid-State Degradation, Condensation, and Rearrangement Reactions in Lignin Model Compounds and Milled Wood Lignin

Abstract— Milled wood lignin produced from alkaline hydrogen peroxide-bleached softwood thermomechanical pulp (TMP) fibers was adsorbed on pure cellulose and irradiated for variable periods of time under oxygen and/or nitrogen. The absolute amounts of β-O-4 ethers, phenolic hydroxyl groups, carboxylic acids and various condensed phenolic units were quantified, nondestructively, using ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. Photoirradiation was found to severely cleave the β-O-4 ethers present in lignin with the concomitant formation of new phenolic units. The rate of this cleavage was found to be faster under oxygen than under nitrogen. The catalytic role of oxygen can be rationalized by invoking the formation of peroxy free radicals that may initiate new sites of radical generation ( e.g. ketyl radicals) within the lignin causing the subsequent breakdown of the β-O-4 linkage. The photoirradiation was found to cause a net increase of the C₅-related condensed phenolic units in lignin. Among these, C_α-C₅ and/ or C_β-C₅ phenolic moieties were found to predominate. Similar irradiation of a binary mixture of model compounds resembling structures present in softwood lignin resulted in 18 products that were identified and quantified using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The photochemical products obtained supported the phenacyl and ketyl mechanistic pathways to pho-toyellowing, whereas the detection of β-5 coupling products (common in both the model compound and milled wood lignin studies) may point a new avenue toward the formation of light-induced products that has not been previously considered in the solid state.     

Preparation of 2-pyridone-containing tricyclic alkaloid derivatives as potential inhibitors of tumor cell proliferation by regioselective intramolecular N- and C-acylation of 2-pyridone

A novel and practical preparation of 2-pyridone-containing tricyclic alkaloid derivatives was developed. By regioselective intramolecular N- and C-acylation of 2-(4-aryl-2-pyridon-6-yl)benzoic acid, a pair of structural isomers 2-aryl pyrido[2,1-a]isoindole-4,6-diones and 4-aryl 1-methyl-1H-indeno[1,2-b]-pyridine-2,5-diones, as potential inhibitors of tumor cell proliferation, were prepared respectively.     

Lyotropic liquid crystalline poly(aryl ether ketone) copolymer containing phthalazinone moiety and biphenyl mesogen

A novel lyotropic liquid crystalline material poly(aryl ether ketone) copolymer containing phthalazinone moiety and biphenyl mesogen named P-8515 was developed by a mild solution polycondensation method. The molecular weight (M_n) was 53,000 and the value of molecular weight distribution index (MDI) was 2.49 detected by GPC. The critical concentration (C^∗) of P-8515 was 36 wt% and P-8515 exhibited characteristic nematic lyotropic liquid crystalline phases in NMP solution at different concentrations and the phase morphology changed to a typical threaded texture when shear forces were induced from PLM observations. The T_g value was 238 °C and the value for 5% weight loss temperature was 515 °C in nitrogen from DSC and TGA determinations, respectively.     

Progressive image transmission over space-time coded OFDM-based MIMO systems with adaptive modulation

This paper considers a progressive image transmission system over wireless channels by combining joint source-channel coding (JSCC), space-time coding, and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The BER performance of the space-time coded OFDM-based MIMO system based on a newly built broadband MIMO fading model is first evaluated by assuming perfect channel state information at the receiver for coherent detection. Then, for a given average SNR (hence, BER), a fast local search algorithm is applied to optimize the unequal error protection design in JSCC, subjected to fixed total transmitted energy for various constellation sizes. This design allows the measurement of the expected reconstructed image quality. With this end-to-end system performance evaluation, an adaptive modulation scheme is proposed to pick the constellation size that offers the best reconstructed image quality for each average SNR. Simulation results of practical image transmissions confirm the effectiveness of our proposed adaptive modulation scheme.
