Abstract The effect of rubber nanoparticles on mechanical properties and fracture toughness was investigated. Rubber 2–3 nm were in situ synthesized epoxy taking advantage the reaction an oligomer diamine with epoxy. chemical verified by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) 1 HNMR, microstructure characterized transmission electron microscope. caused much less Young's modulus deterioration but toughened to a similar degree comparison their peer liquid that formed microscale particles during...

Cyclic tetrapeptides have generated great interest because of their broad-ranging biological properties. In order to synthesize these highly strained 12-membered cyclic compounds, a cyclization strategy using pseudoprolines as removable turn inducers has been developed. The pseudoproline derivatives induce cisoid amide bond in the linear peptide backbone which facilitates cyclization. After cyclization, can be readily removed afford containing serine or threonine residues.
Abstract Aryl amines are synthesized from halobenzenes via copper mediated reactions employing sodium azide under mild conditions in ethanol/water. The reaction proceeds stepwise the aryl azide, which is reduced to corresponding amine in‐situ . methodology allows syntheses of para ‐, meta ‐ and ortho ‐bromobenzenes bearing electron withdrawing groups. Bifunctional alkanoyl chains with terminal bromides selectively transformed, generating an aniline aliphatic as this position stable...
Abstract Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects over 10 million people annually and kills more each year than any other human pathogen. The current (TB) vaccine is only partially effective in preventing infection, while TB treatment problematic terms of length, complexity patient compliance. There an urgent need for new drugs to combat the burden disease natural environment has re-emerged as a rich source bioactive molecules development lead compounds. In this study, one species marine sponge...
Selective azidation-amination of long-chain alkanoyl halobenzenes with sodium azide, promoted by copper(I) chloride, is reported. The protocol is, apart from CuCl and NaN3, additive free allows the isolation versatile amine-azides. Alkyl cleavage occurs as a side reaction through an unusual Schmidt-type azide insertion adjacent to carbonyl group, forming alkyl nitriles possibly via radical pathways. Mechanistic studies involving 15N labeling experiments test substrates indicate that...
Abstract Local molecular environment effects on the rates of ligand exchange at an asymmetric di[dihydroxotin(IV)] bis‐porphyrin 5 are examined. The host possesses four non‐equivalent tin(IV)–ligand binding sites that distinguished by their position relative to a shallow cavity, steric each site and electronic‐structure differences between constituent porphyrin quinoxalinoporphyrin macrocycles. These design features confirmed X‐ray crystal structure analysis. Binding experiments with...

The mixed ionic–electronic conductor 6H-Ba4Ta2O9 undergoes an unconventional symmetry-lowering lattice distortion when cooled below 1100 K in the presence of atmospheric water. This temperature corresponds to onset hydration, which reaches a maximum value for 6H-Ba4Ta2O9·1/2H2O ∼500 K. We use combination diffraction, ab initio calculations, and spectroscopy show that both processes are intimately linked. very large Ba2+ cations octahedral interstitial sites (B its hexagonal perovskite-type...

Abstract The full 1 H and 119 Sn NMR spectral assignments for a di[dihydroxotin(IV)] bis‐porphyrin supramolecular host I the di[diacetatotin(IV)] complex II are presented. Despite lack of varied chemical functionality in these molecules, all their 64 proton environments non‐equivalent. This is due to asymmetry afforded by Tröger's base (methanodiazocine) bridge between porphyrin quinoxalinoporphyrin macrocycles. methanodiazocine imparts chirality concavity on framework quinoxalino link one...

Using standard basis sets, density function theory (DFT)-calculated constant for ⇌ is vary several orders magnitude; this was...
Abstract The assignments of the two pyridyl nitrogens and amino in antitumour antibiotic streptonigrin, all carbon resonances, were determined by 15 N (HSQC, HMBC) 13 C NMR techniques. These data provide useful probes for determination site(s) metal complexation drug, which are important mechanism activity. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
