Synthesis and properties of alkylated imidazoles

Alkylation of 4(5)-nitroimidazole-5(4)-sulfonamide with benzyl bromide occurred on both ring nitrogens. The structures of the products could be assigned by comparison of the chemical shifts of the sulfonamide hydrogens in the nmr spectra with those of the isomeric methyl derivatives, which were prepared by differing routes. Uv and nmr spectral data are reported for a number of bromo-, nitro-, mercapto-, sulfamyl- and amino- substituted imidazoles as well as for both of the isomeric methylated derivatives of the series.     

环己烷中苯甲酰苯胺的双重荧光--分子内电荷转移的直接光谱证据

自从O Connell等［1］报道苯甲酰苯胺(BA)在EPA玻璃体中异常的长波长荧光发射特性以来, 已有众多学者尝试解释该"异常"荧光的发射态性质［2～12］. Kasha等［2～7］认为长波长荧光是质子转移(PT)和电荷转移(CT)两种激发态发射的叠加, 而Azumaya等［8］则认为发射态只包含分子内扭转电荷转移(TICT)态. 应该指出的是, 在上述研究中, 电荷转移态的指认并无有力的实验事实, 而主要是依据与具有CT双重荧光的对二甲氨基苯甲氰［13,14］的类比. 显然, 有关苯甲酰苯胺的长波长荧光发射态的准确性质仍待实验阐明     

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of spinel LiMn2O4 prepared by the rheological phase method

Pure-phase and well-crystallized spinel LiMn₂O₄ powders were successfully synthesized by a simple rheological phase method. The thermal behavior and structure properties of the powders prepared by the rheological phase method compared with the solid-state reaction were investigated by thermogravimetry, powder X-ray diffraction , scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. According to the results of the electrochemical tests, it is obvious that the sample resulting from the rheological phase method shows higher discharge capacity and better cycling stability than one formed in the solid-state reaction. The cyclic voltammogram and columbic efficiency curves also confirm that the product by the rheological phase method has a good cycling performance due to its fine cubic spinel structure and morphology.     

Study of a molecular imprinting polymer coated BAW bio-mimic sensor and its application to the determination of caffeine in human serum and urine

A bio-mimic bulk acoustic wave (BAW) sensor was fabricated by coating the caffeine (CAF) template molecular imprinting polymer (MIP). This sensor exhibited high selectivity and a sensitive mass response to CAF. The response range of the sensor was between 5.0 x 10(-9) and 1.0 x 10(-4) M with a detection limit of 5.0 x 10(-9) M at pH 8.0. Recoveries were 96.1-105.6%. Influencing factors were investigated in detail and optimized. When employed to detect real samples, the proposed method proved to be a convenient method with the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity and ease of handling.     

Fabrication and performance of a three-dimensionally adjustable device for the amperometric detection of microchip capillary electrophoresis

A microchip CE-amperometric detection (AD) system has been fabricated by integrating a two-dimensionally adjustable CE microchip and an AD cell containing a one-dimensionally adjustable disk detection electrode in a Plexiglas holder. It facilitates the precise 3-D alignment between the channel outlet and the detection electrode without a complicated 3-D manipulator. The performance of this unique system was demonstrated by separating five aromatic amines (1,4-phenyldiamine, aniline, 2-methylaniline, 4-chloroaniline, and 1-naphthylamine) of environmental concern. Factors influencing their separation and detection processes were examined and optimized. The five analytes have been well separated within 140 s in a 74 cm long separation channel at a separation voltage of +2500 V using a 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 3.5). Highly linear response is obtained for the five analytes over the range 20-200 microM with the detection limits ranging from 0.46 to 1.44 microM, respectively. The present system demonstrated long-term stability and reproducibility with RSDs of less than 5% for the peak current (n = 9). The new approach for the microchannel-electrode alignment should find a wide range of applications in CE, flowing injection analysis, and other microfluidic analysis systems.     

Novel fragmentation reaction of correolide

[reaction: see text] Pentacyclic triterpenoid natural product correolide (1) was converted to ketone 2 via ozonolysis. An unusual fragmentation reaction of ketone 2 with LiCl was discovered. This reaction is general among several similar substrates examined and appears to be specific for the correolide-type E-ring structure (ketone). A mechanism involving a retroaldol reaction, a nucleophilic opening of the epoxide, and a subsequent acetoxy elimination reaction was proposed.     

Lattice locations determination of trace amount carbon in gallium arsenide by theoretical calculation of CPAA with channeling

Combining the Charged Particle Activation Analysis (CPAA) and the Channeling Technique, the partial concentrations of the impurity carbon atoms in different crystal lattice locations of GaAs were claculated. The calculated results show that at lower total concentrations (0.3 ppm), carbon atoms occupy principally the octahedral and displaced octahedral interstitial positions, but at higher total concentrations (2 ppm), the substitutional carbon plays a principal role.     

One-electron oxidation of the iron(II) complex of 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-quinone A pulse radiolysis study

One-electron oxidation of the ferrous tris-PQ complex, a model for lipoxygenase, was attempted using oxidants such as •OH, N^•₃, Br^•-₂, Tl²⁺ and TlOH⁺. •OH was found to react with the complex with a bimolecular rate constant of (3.9±0.6)x10⁹dm³mol^-1s^-1, a rate which is not very dissimilar to that for the reaction with the ligand PQ. However the product of the reaction was found to be a OH-adduct rather than a cation radical. No reaction was found to occur with N^•₃ or Br^•-₂. Both Tl²⁺ and TlOH⁺ reacted with the complex to form its oxidised species with rate constants of (7.0±1)x10⁸dm³mol^-1s^-1 and (4.0±0.8)x10⁸dm³mol^-1s^-1, respectively. From a comparison of the rate constants and the transient spectra it was concluded that the centre of oxidation is the ligand rather than the metal.     

Hydrogenated polybutadiene–polymethyl methacrylate (HPB–PMMA) block copolymer. I. Synthesis of polybutadiene–polymethyl methacrylate (PB–PMMA) block copolymer

To get hydrogenated polybutadiene-polymethyl methacrylate (HPB-b-PMMA) block copolymer to be used as a compatibilizer for blends of polyolefin/polar polymer, PB-b-PMMA was synthesized by anionic-free radical mechanism transformation polymerization. Selective extraction, gradient elution thin layer chromatography, and oil-oil emulsion separation techniques were tried to attempt to separate the copolymerization products. Hydrogenation of the PB sequence in PB-b-PMMA yielded HPB-b-PMMA. The compatibilizing function of PB-b-PMMA was shown in blending experiments. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
