Photochemical Reduction of Aromatic Imines by 2-Phenyl-N, N-dimethylbenzimidazoline

Reduction of C=N double bonds has been recognized as an important reaction both in organic chemistry and bio-chemistry1. Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine (HEH, one of NADH model compounds) has been reported as a reductive reagent for imines2. However, application of dihydropyridines as practical reducing reagents in organic synthesis is limited because of their instability3. Like NADH models, 2-phenyl-N, N-dimethylbenzimidazoline (PDMBI) is an efficient electron and hydrogen donor (Eox = 0…     

气相色谱-质谱联用法研究泡沫塑料中易挥发组分在环境温度下的释放行为

用气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)联用技术研究了泡沫塑料中易挥发组分在不同环境温度下的释放行为.试验发现:泡沫塑料在一定温度下可释放出近20种化合物,其中绝大多数是带苯环的有毒有害化合物.温度对泡沫塑料中易挥发组分的逸出有着显著性影响,特别是在60℃以上.释放量随放置时间的增加而缓慢增加,在一定温度下存在着一个平衡.泡沫塑料中易挥发组分的释放量随着塑料用量的增加而增加,而温度是影响释放量的最主要因素.     

New conversion of Friendlnder reaction of 3-amino-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitriles with cyclohexanone

Two different skeletons of heterocyclic compounds,quinoline and quinazolinone analogs could be obtained by a novel one-pot synthesis from substituted 3-amino-1 H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitrile derivatives and cyclohexanone in DMF in the catalyst of anhydrous zinc chloride under reflux.A plausible mechanism was proposed.     

Novel preparation of NaA/carbon nanocomposite thin films with high permeance for CO2/CH4 separation

Novel NaA/carbon nanocomposite thin films were successfully prepared on a porous a-Al2O3 substrate by incorporatingnanosized NaA zeolite into novolak-type phenolic resin.The prepared films were characterized by XRD,SEM and single gaspermeation tests.The NaA zeolite/carbon nanocomposite thin films exhibited that the ideal separation factor of CO2/CH4 was 28.4and the carbon dioxide flux was 3.39*10-7mol/(Pa m2s)at room temperature and under a pressure difference of 100 kPa,whichwas two orders of magnitude higher than that of pure carbon membrane prepared at the same procedures and conditions as those ofcomposite films.From the SEM images,the films were continuous and highly intergrown.Compared with carbon membranes,thethickness of nanocomposite films was drastically decreased,which was helpful to reduce the diffusion resistance and increase theflux of gas permeance.     

Design and Synthesis of Chiral Molecular Tweezers Based on Deoxycholic Acid

Molecular tweezers is a novel type of artificial receptors, which not only offer the advantage of efficient construction but also their surfaces can be tailored for specific applications. The clefts of molecular tweezers are particularly effective in regard to complementarity with substrates since functional groups attached to the interior of the cleft converge on substrates held inside1. So, in recent years, the molecular tweezers receptors have attracted more and more attention in molecular …     

First Total Synthesis of 5_α-Hydroxy-isopterocarpolone

Sesquiterpenic compounds of the Eudesmane family have attracted considerable attention due to their intriguing biological properties1,2, particularly significant antifeedant activity, cell growth inhibitory and plant growth regulating activities.In 1996, J. Hu and co-workers3 had isolated eudesmane sesquiterpene 5?-hydroxy-isopterocarpolone 1 from the aerial parts of chinese folk medicine Artemisia eriopoda and elucidated its structure by spectropic methods. Herein, we reported the first tota…     

Mono-Allylation of Gem-Diacetates with Allylsamarium Bromide

Our group have explored the reaction of allylsamarium bromide with a variety of substrates, such as N-(2-aminoalkyl)benzotriazoles1, imines2, nitriles3, diorgano diselenides4, disulfides5, isocyanates6 and nitroalkenes7. Here we wish to report the monoallylation of gem-diacetates with allylsamarium bromide. Gem-diacetates are stable in neutral and basic media, thus they are frequently used to protect aldehydes8. However, the presence of two leaving groups at the same carbon may make carbon …     

Synthesis of Novel Chiral Diol Ligands for the Enantioselective Reactions

The chiral diols ((,(,((,((-Tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanols) have been used for the formation of cyclic titanates and similar derivatives of Mg, Al and Zr. These complexes of oxophilic metal centers were employed in catalytic and stiochiometric enantioselective reactions such as enantioselective addition reactions of carbon-centered nucleophiles to aldehydes1, [2+2] cycloadditions2, and Diels-Alder reactions3. So far, the two hydrogen atoms of all this type of diols are in trans form…     

Two-Parameter Stochastic Resonance in a Model of Electrodissolution of Fe in H_2SO_4

IntroductionStochastic resonance (SR) is a nonlinear effect which describes the optimal detection of a weak periodic signal by the action of external noise in nonlinear systems. SR was originally proposed to account for periodicity in the Earth's ice ages1, and it has been observed in a wide range of biological2-4 , physical5 and chemical6 systems. The systems mentioned above which may give rise to SR have a denominator despite many examples of SR in different scientific areas. It is noted…     

Two New Diterpene Alkaloids from the Roots of Spiraea japonica var. Acuta

Spiraea japonica L. (Rosaceae) is widely distributed in Yunnan Provence, P. R. China. Previous chemical investigations on S. japonica and its varieties have led to the report of 7 new atisane-type diterpenoids and 38 new diterpene alkaloids of atisine- and hetisine-type1-11. This paper describes the isolation and structure elucidation of two new diterpene alkaloids named spiratines A and B (1-2). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments (HMQC, HMBC, 1…
