Abstract:
The photoinduced intramolecular meta-cycloaddition of bichromophores 1a-1d gave diastereoselectively two types of adducts 2a-2d and 3a-3d respectively. The observed stereochemistry of cycloaddition is rationalized in terms of hydrogen bond effect induced by the 4-hydroxy group in the 5-phenylpent-1-ene skeleton.

Abstract:
The cleavage activity of histidyl-lysine dipeptide (His-Lys) on RNA was studied and compared with that of histidine. With the addition of the lysine residue, the cleavage activity was increased about 10-fold compared to that of histidine. The cleavage mechanism of His-Lys was also discussed.

Abstract:
A series of chiral lipophilic Cu(Ⅱ) complexes were investigated as catalysts for the enantioselective hydrolysis of R(S)-p-nitrophenyl N-dodecanoyl-phenylalaninate in micelles. The highest enantioselectivity (kR/kS=7.81) was observed in a mixed micellar system composed of 1-Cu(Ⅱ) and Brij35.

Abstract:
Butyllithium was directly added to the solution of polysaccharides in dimethyl sulfoxide. The methylsulfinyl carbanion, as a sugar alkoxide forming reagent, was generated from the solution. All the operations were performed as one-pot reactions. Five polysaccharides from different traditional Chinese medicines and three dextrans were methylated and satisfactory results have been achieved.

Abstract:
Under physiological conditions, γ-aminobutyric acid poorly crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is likely that a non-toxic derivative of γ-aminobutyric acid which enters the brain easily will have useful anticonvulsant activity. 16 derivatives of γ-aminobutyric acid with an imine link to a lipophilic carrier were prepared and tested for anticonvulsant activity; six compounds show anticonvulsant activity.

Abstract:
1-Hydroxyl acetylation of 10-deacetylbaccatin III was achieved by removing the neighboring bulky 2-benzoyl group and oxidizing 2-hydroxyl group to a ketone function, but attempted reductive cleavage of 1-acetoxy gave rearranged products under different conditions with or without proton source.

Abstract:
Six antigenic peptides of Sm26/2 glutathione S-transferase of schistosoma mansoni have been predicted according to their hydrophilicity, flexibility, accessibility, charge distribution and β-turn in the secondary structure by the determination of its primary structure, and synthesized by solid phase method. Two of them showed good antigenicity by Dot-ELISA. They would be candidate peptides of synthetic anti-schistosomal vaccine.

Abstract:
We report here a new strategy for revealing the Claisen rearrangement of allyl phenyl ether occurring in the gas phase by in situ GC/MS technique. The Ciaisen rearrangement has been observed when allyl phenyl ether passed through the capillary column at certain temperatures. The relative proportion of rearrangement products is dependent on the temperature of the capillary column and the substituents on the phenyl ring.

Abstract:
The fluorescence emission wavelength [λmax(em)] values of three types of benzaldehyde derivatives, namely, ethylene acetals (1-Ys), 4-nitrophenylhydrazones (2-Ys) and phenylhydrazones (3-Ys), have been measured. Correlation analyses by the dual-parameter equation show that the λmax(em) values of 1-Ys are mainly affected by the spin-delocalization effects of the substituents, while those of 2-Ys are mainly affected by the polar effects. However, those of 3-Ys are independent of the substituents.

Abstract:
In this paper, it is shown that pterodonoic acid may or may not have the structure of 3-oxoeudesma-4, 11-dien-12-oic acid 1 by comparison of their spectral data. But it is certainly not 10-epi-3-oxoeudesma-4, 11-dien-12-oic acid 2, which is synthesized from dihydrocarvone 3.

Abstract:
We studied the factors affecting the framework aluminium distribution in the ZSM-5 structure by hydrothermal treatment under different conditions. 27A1MASNMR, XPS and chemical analysis revealed that with steaming at lower water vapor pressure, the framework aluminium located at the external surface is less stable. Steaming at higher water vapor pressure is beneficial in removing the framework A1 in HZSM-5, and especially helpful in removing that located at the internal surface of HZSM-5. By changing steaming conditions, one may control the framework aluminium distribution in the HZSM-5 structure.

Abstract:
A long decay luminescent powder based upon the strontium aluminum oxide system with Eu2+ as the activator was produced. It was found that the variation of the molar ratio of A1 to Sr leads to a change in emission color. The two emission centers responsible for the color change have been identified.

Abstract:
A two-step electrodeposition method was developed to prepare hydroxyapatite/metal composite coatings. Hydroxyapatite coatings were fabricated by electrochemical deposition and post-treatment with alkaline solution, and then cobalt was electrodeposited to form hydroxyapatite/cobalt composite coatings to improve its mechanical properties of bonding strength.

Abstract:
The morphology and structure of the syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS)/atactic polystyrene(aPS) blends with various compositions have been studied by means of DSC, optical microscopy, SAXS,and WAXD. The results show that aPS is miscible with amorphous region of sPS. There is no macroscopic evidence that aPS forms separated domains in the blends. The decrease in crystallinity of sPS in the blends implies segregation of the aPS to the interflbrillar regions of the spherulites of sPS. The constancy of interlamellar distance and melting points indicates that the fibrillar structural units of sPS is unchanged on addition of aPS to sPS, and the unchanging parameters of the sPS unit cells mean that aPS does not enter the unit cells of sPS.

Abstract:
The stabilization energies of substituted lithium carbene cations were calculated by using ab initio molecular orbital theory, and the relationship between the stabilization energies and molecular orbitals was discussed. The substituents with n donor engender strong stabilization to CH2Li+. The calculations show the Y-C* bond lengths of cations become shorter and H-Y bond lengths longer than those of corresponding neutral molecules.
