Visible light induced photocatalytic reaction of rhodamine B dye via 12-tungstosilicic acid in water

Using 12-tungstosilicic acid (SiW124-) as the catalyst, rhodamine B (RhB) dye in an aerated aqueous solution can undergo an effective photocatalytic stepwise N-deethylation process under visible light irradiation, and dioxygen is reduced to hydrogen peroxide by the reducedSiW12 4-. This provides the potential for moving polyoxometalate-based photocatalytic processes from the near-UV into the visible region of the spectrum.     

Isolation of lipase producer and its performance in enantioselective hydrolysis of glycidyl butyrate

A racemic glycidyl butyrate resolving strain, preliminarily identified as a Rhizopus sp., had been isolated from soil. Its extracellular lipase was found to enantioselectively hydrolyze the (S)-enantiomer of the chiral ester, with optimal activities at pH 5.3 and 42°C. Higher en antioselectivity of theenzyme was observed at lower temperatures, while the best anantioselectivity was obtained at pH 5.5–6.0, with an, E value (enantiomeric ratio) of 57.     

Characterization of charge neutralization reaction in aqueous solution using the membrane separation method

Colloid titration and streaming current detector are two popular techniques used to determine the charge density of dissolved and colloidally dispersed polyelectrolytes. However, both techniques are based on some assumptions that may not be valid under some circumstances. In this paper, a membrane separation technique developed to determine the charge density and characterize a charge neutralization reaction is described. The technique characterizes the reaction between cationic and anionic charge carriers by measuring the counterions released during reaction or the unreacted small molecule charge carriers. Membranes with selected cutoff pore size were used to separate the species of interest from the bulk of the reaction mixture. Three different charge determination techniques were also compared.     

Synthesis of Diethyl Oxalate by a Coupling-Regeneration Reaction of Carbon Monoxide

This article describes a process for the synthesis of diethyl oxalate by a coupling reaction of carbon monoxide, catalyzed by palladium in the presence of ethyl nitrite. The kinetics and mechanism of the coupling and regeneration reaction are also discussed. This paper presents the results of a scale-up test of the catalyst and the process based on an a priori computer simulation.     

Aculeoside I, a novel 18,19-seco-ursane saponin isolated from Ilex aculeolata

A novel 18,19-seco-ursane saponin, aculeoside I (1), in addition to four known saponins were isolated from the leaves of Ilex aculeolata Nakai and identified by using spectroscopic and chemical methods. The structure of the new saponin was established as 3,19-dihydroxyl-16,21-epoxy-18,19-seco-13(18)-urs-ene-28-oic-acid-19-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside.

Quantum chemical definition and calculation of oxidation number

A new quantum chemical definition of oxidation number is proposed, in the present paper, as a direct generalization of the corresponding classical definition. According to the proposed general definition, the oxidation number can be calculated by use of molecular orbital data and a population analysis method or by use of other quantum chemical methods. For the practical calculation, we present a corresponding concrete calculation procedure within the framework of the maximum overlap population principle, which is very simple and very easy to use. The calculated numerical results are, on the whole, in good agreement with chemists' intuitive concepts of chemical bonding.     

Photoinduced reactions of chloranil with 1,1-diarylethenes and product photochemistry-intramolecular

Photoinduced reactions of chloranil (CA) with 1,1-diarylethenes 1 [(p-X-Ph)(2)C=CH(2), X = F, Cl, H, Me] in benzene afforded products 4-14, respectively, with the bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-3-ene-2,5-diones 4, the 6-diarylethenylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-diones 5, and 2,3,5, 6-tetrachlorohydroquinone 13 as the major primary products. The cyclobutane products 4 are formed via a triplet diradical intermediate without involvement of single electron transfer (SET) between the two reactants, while 5 is derived from a reaction sequence with initial SET interaction between (3)CA and the alkene. The 9-arylphenanthrene-1,4-diones 6 and its 10-hydroxy-derivatives 7 are secondary photochemical products derived from 5. The isomeric cage products 9-11 are formed from 4 via intramolecular benzene-alkene [2 + 2] (ortho-)photocycloadditions induced by the triplet excited enedione moiety. The relative amount of the two groups of products (4 and its secondary products 9-11 via non-SET route vs 5 and its secondary products 6, 7, 8, 12, and 14 via SET route) shows a rather regular change, with the ratio of non-SET route products gradually increasing with the increase in oxidation potential of the alkenes and in the positive free energy change for electron transfer (DeltaG(ET)) between (3)CA and the alkene, at the expense of the ratio of the products from the SET route. The competition between the SET and non-SET routes was also found to be drastically influenced by solvent polarity, with the SET pathways more favored in polar solvent. Photo-CIDNP investigations suggest the intermediacy of exciplexes or contact ion radical pairs in these reactions in benzene, while in acetonitrile, SET process led to the formation of CA(*)(-) and cation radical of the alkene in the form of solvent separated ion radical pairs and free ions.
