A novel method for asymmetric synthesis of both enantiomers of α-substituted carboxylic acid derivatives from optically active 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides and lithium ester enolates with 1,4-chiral induction from the sulfur chiral center

Treatment of optically active 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides, which were synthesized from symmetrical ketones and (R)-(−)-chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide in three steps, with lithium enolate of carboxylic acid tert-butyl esters gave optically active adducts having a substituent at the α-position with high 1,4-chiral induction from the sulfur chiral center in high yields. The adducts were converted to optically active esters and carboxylic acids having a chiral center at the α-position. When this addition reaction was carried out with the ester enolate generated from excess carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester with LDA in the presence of HMPA, the diastereomer of the adduct was obtained. By using the two reaction conditions for the generation of the ester enolates, a new method for asymmetric synthesis of both enantiomers of carboxylic acid derivatives having a substituent at the α-position from the one chiral source, (R)-(−)-chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, was realized.     

动态单滴法研究乳状液液膜的稳定性

乳状液液膜作为化学分离的一种手段,自七十年代发现以来已有了许多进展,但是如何将其工业化还有许多课题有待于进一步研究.目前,除了乳状液液膜的水静态渗透性质以外,对乳状液液膜的稳定性和溶胀性质的研究主要采用搅拌法.虽然得到较好的规律性,但是搅拌法具有乳状液滴粒径分布广的弱点,对于不同的搅拌方式及条件,乳状液液膜的有效面积不同,对液膜作用的机械强度不同,因此结果会有很大差别.我们自行设计的动态单滴法实验装置,可定量地研究乳状液液膜的溶胀、稳定性及水渗透性质.     

A stannylene strategy for regioselective acylation and phosphorylation of 1,2-cyclohexylidene-myo-inositol. Its convenient resolution and phosphatidylinositol synthesis

The bis(dibutylstannylene) derivative of 1,2-cyclohexylidene-myo-inositol reacted with (S)-O-acetylmandeloyl chloride and diphosphate tetraesters to give 3,6-dimandelate and 3-phosphate, respectively. Using the stannylene methodology for the optical resolution and regioselective phosphorylation of the ketal, a concise synthesis of phosphatidylinositol with the natural configuration was accomplished.     

Kinetics study of thermal decomposition of epoxy resins containing flame retardant components

Hyperbranched polyphosphate ester (HPPE) and phenolic melamine (PM) were blended in different ratios with a commercial epoxy resin to obtain a series of flame retardant resins. The thermal decomposition mechanism of their cured products in air was studied by thermogravimetric analysis and in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The degradation behaviours of epoxy resins containing various flame retardant components were found to be greatly changed. The incorporation of phosphorus and nitrogen compounds improved the thermal stability at elevated temperature. The kinetics of thermal decomposition was evaluated by Kissinger method, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method and Horowitz-Metzger method. The results showed that the activation energy at lower degree of the degradation decreased by the incorporation of flame retardant components, while increased at higher degree of the degradation.     

酚醛型氰酸酯与双酚A型环氧共固化反应的FTIR研究

在恒温固化条件下,通过FTIR跟踪方法,研究了酚醛型氰酸酯与双酚A型环氧共固化反应的路径及其反应机理.共固化体系的反应过程包括在150℃及其以下温度,主要发生的是氰酸酯的三嗪环化固化反应,其中三嗪环化固化反应由于环氧的加入,反应速率被极大地提高了;同时,酚醛型氰酸酯中的氨基甲酸酯类杂质与环氧发生开环聚合反应,引起环氧官能团产生弱而持续的消耗.但在此阶段,酚醛型氰酸酯与环氧之间没有化学反应发生;在180℃及其以上温度,三嗪环和环氧发生反应,异构为异氰脲酸环结构,并进一步反应生成唑啉酮环结构,由于该反应的发生,促进了环氧官能团的消耗速度,在环氧官能团的转化率-时间图中,出现倒S曲线;在三嗪环的转化率图中,出现一个极大值后再降落的曲线.反应温度的提高有利于促进酚醛型氰酸酯与环氧之间的共固化反应,特别是当反应温度为220℃时,氰酸酯官能团和环氧官能团的消耗、三嗪环和唑啉酮环的生成均以较快的速率进行,—OCN生成三嗪环的转化率可以较容易地达到1,而唑啉酮环的转化率不超过0.5.     

Preparation and characterization of new thermally stable and optically active poly(ester‐imide)s by direct polycondensation with thionyl chloride in pyridine

4,4′‐hexafluoroisopropylidene‐2,2‐bis‐(phthalic acid anhydride) (1) was reacted with L ‐methionine (2) in acetic acid and the resulting N,N′–(4,4′‐hexafluoroisopropylidenediphthaloyl)‐bis‐L ‐methionine (4) was obtained in high yield. The direct polycondensation reaction of this diacid with several aromatic diols such as bisphenol A (5a), phenolphthalein (5b), 1,4‐dihydroxybenzene (5c), 4,4′‐dihydroxydiphenyl sulfide (5d), 4,6‐dihydroxypyrimidine (5e), 4,4′‐dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone (5f) and 2,4′‐dihydroxyacetophenone (5g) was carried out in a system of thionyl chloride and pyridine. Expecting that the reaction with thionyl chloride in pyridine might involve alternative intermediates different from an acyl chloride, the polycondensation at a higher temperature favorable for the reaction of the expected intermediate with nucleophiles was attempted, and a highly thermally stable poly(ester‐imide) was obtained by carrying out the reaction at 80°C. All of the above polymers were fully characterized by ¹H‐NMR, ¹⁹F‐NMR FT‐IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and specific rotation. Some structural characterization and physical properties of these optically active poly(ester‐ imide)s are reported. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Identification of anhydroecgonine methyl ester N-oxide,a new metabolite of anhydroecgonine methyl ester,using electrospray mass spectrometry

Cocaine is transformed into hepatotoxic metabolites through oxidative pathways. For anhydroecgonine methyl ester (AEME), the main constituent in crack smoke, the oxidative metabolism has not been studied. Therefore, incubation of AEME with rat liver microsomes was performed and a metabolite of AEME, anhydroecgonine methyl ester N-oxide (AEMENO), was identified. The chemical structure of this new metabolite was confirmed by synthesis and by comparative interpretation of electrospray multiple-stage mass spectra, which were obtained in the positive ion mode. This metabolite was also detected in whole blood, serum and urine samples from crack users. The application of liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry or nanoelectrospray mass spectrometry was necessary because AEMENO is susceptible to thermal degradation during gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis. This study demonstrated that AEMENO is produced by rat hepatic microsomal metabolism in vitro and is present in body fluids from crack users.     

An improved method of characterizing fatty acids by equivalent chain length values

A method has been developed for calculating more accurate and reproducible equivalent chain length (ECL) values of 33 straight-chain fatty acids (FA), with various positions and numbers of cis double bonds, chromatographed on DB-Wax and DB-1 columns. The dependence of ECL values on the position and the number of double bonds is described, as is a method of utilizing these relationships for the characterization of FA by gas chromatography.
