Highly Enantioselective Phenylacetylene Addition to Benzaldehyde Catalyzed by Chiral Tridentate Ligand

Development of new or improved methods for the asymmetric preparation of chiral propargylic alcohols has gained considerable significance during the past years because they are useful building blocks for the synthesis of many biologically active compounds and natural products.[1] A series of chiral tridentate ligands were conveniently synthesized from amino acids with good yields (Scheme 1).[2] A preliminary study of the enantioselective alkynylation of benzaldehyde catalyzed by this chiral tridentate ligand was carried out and up to 83% ee of chiral propargyl alcohols was obtained (Table 1 ). A further investigation of the tridentate ligand is currently underway.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,7,7-Trimethyl- 4-（4-methoxyphenyl）-4,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline- 2,5（1H,3H）-diones under Microwave Irradiation

1 INTRODUCTION Various quinolone derivatives are known to dis- play interesting biological properties ranging from microbial activity to cytotoxicity[1]. They have been reported as antiviral (HIV-1)[2] and antitumor agents[3] as well as used as tubulin[4], topoisomerase[5] and thrombocyte inhibitors[6]. As a member of the quino- lone family, substituted N-phenyl-2-quinolones re-present the structural basis of many biologically active compounds, such as protein kinase inhibitors, immunodu…

合成了一系列聚丁二酸/苯基丁二酸丁二醇共聚酯(PBSBS),利用DSC、1H-NMR和X射线等测试手段对共聚物组成、热力学性能、结晶性能、等温结晶行为进行了表征和研究.结果表明,含苯基的共聚单元的引入显著改变了聚丁二酸丁二醇酯(PBS)的热力学性能4,利用Hoffman-Week曲线得到的共聚物平衡熔点随共聚组分含量的增加显著降低,玻璃化转变温度则明显升高,结晶熔点符合无规共聚物的Flory方程.此外,利用Avrami方程对均聚物PBS以及共聚物PBSBS-10分别进行了等温结晶行为研究,结果表明共聚使结晶速率降低,PBS和PBSBS-10的Avrami指数分别介于2.8~3.0和2.7~2.9之间,结晶方式为三维生长异相成核,X射线测试结果表明共聚不影响晶体结构.     

N，N，N′，N′-四丁基丙二酰胺从硝酸盐介质中萃取铈(Ⅲ)

Study on the extraction and separation of rare earth with new extractants is important in the rare earth chemistry and nuclear reprocessing. In this work， the extraction of Ce(Ⅲ) with N，N，N′，N′-tetrabutylmalonamide (TBMA) in toluene from nitrate media has been investigated. The effect of the concentration of nitric acid， TBMA and salt-ing-out agent (LiNO₃) and also the temperature on the distribution ratios was examined. The stoichiometries of the extracted complexes were determined to be Ce(NO₃)₃·3TBMA and Ce(NO₃)₃·4TBMA， respectively. The ap-parent extraction constants and the enthalpy of the extraction were calculated based on the extraction data， which are logK_ex1=3.97， logK_ex2=4.75 and Δ_rH_m^?=-31.25kJ·mol^-1， respectively. The IR spectra of the loaded organic phase supported the suggested extraction mechanism.     

Novel Water Soluble Fluorescent Trimethine Indocyanines Containing N-ρ-Carboxybenzyl Group

Indocyanine dyes as fluorescent labeling reagents have been used in bioanalysis1,2. Arylsulfonate indocyanine dyes 1d and 1e developed by Waggoner A. S. et al.3,4 have excellent fluorescent properties combined with good aqueous solubility, are a new generation of fluorescent label compounds for proteins, oligonucleotides and other compounds containing hydroxyl, mercaptol or primary amine groups5. However, photostability of these dyes has been a problem. Z. G. YAO et al.6 reported that p…     

Scheduling jobs on heterogeneous processors

We consider the problem of schedulingn jobs nonpreemptively onm processors to minimize various weighted cost functions of job completion times. The time it takes processorj to process a job is distributed exponentially with rate parameter _j , independent of the other processors. Associated with jobi is a weightw _i . There are no precedence constraints and any job may be processed on any processor. Assume that _{1 2}...µ _m andw ₁w ₂...w _n . Then for certain weighted cost functions, the optimal policy is such that the processors can be partitioned into setsS ₁, ...,S _n+1 such that if the fastest available processor is in setS _i ,i=1, ...,n, then jobi should be assigned to it, and if it isS _n+1, it will never be used. After each assignment the jobs are renumbered (so that jobi+1 becomes jobi if jobi is assigned to a processor). The partitioning is independent of the job weights and the states (busy or idle) of the processors. The optimal policy can be determined in at most max {m, n} steps. If all the weights are identical, the optimal policy reduces to a simple threshold rule such that a job should be assigned to the fastest available processor, sayj, if there are more thanK _j jobs waiting.K _j will depend on ₁, ..., _j but not on _j+1, ...,µ _m . The optimal policy is also individually optimal in the sense that it minimizes the cost for each jobi subject to the constraint that processors will first be offered to the jobs in the order 1, 2, ...,n.We explicitly characterize the optimal policy for several specific examples of cost functions, such as weighted flow time, weighted discounted flowtime, and weighted number of tardy jobs.     

环形装置中三维MHD平衡与稳定性的计算机模拟

一、引 言 在聚变研究中,环形等离子体的磁约束起着重要作用。目前托卡马克研究的进展令人鼓舞,其理论与实验比较符合,定标关系清楚。但是无论从聚变的最终目标来看,还是从实验的安排考虑,完全轴对称的几何形状给各方面部带来许多不便。人们希望知道如果把环形几何中加进直线段,或者把圆环改成不具有对称性的环形,会对等离子体约束产生何种影响?

空间展布体系中由化学反应-扩散-热传导耦合导致的温度场对称破缺

分析了由于化学反应-扩散-热传导耦合而导致的非等温非均匀体系中温度场对称破缺.研究结果表明,在一定的边界条件下,甚至是单组分化学反应-扩散-热传导体系,温度场的这种自组织进程也不可避免.作为温度场结构的一个范例,进一步从解析解及计算机模拟两个方面研究了小展布非等温的Lindeman模型;结果表明,温度场出现时空自组织的阈值不仅与本征参数有关,而且与体系的边界条件及外控约束相关,揭示出了诱发或避免这种温度场时空自组织之途径.
