Abstract:
Two series of novel derivatives of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine were synthesized. These compounds could be used as side chains of semisynthesised ketolide antibiotics. The side chains have free amine group which can attached to ketolide core. Macrolides with this kind of side chains will show obvious activities against erythromycin-resistant strains. The structure of the side chains was confirmed by 1H, 13C NMR, MS, HMBC spectra.

Abstract:
A series of novel 2,5-disubstituted-1,3A-oxadiazoles have been synthesized from long-chain alkanoie and alkenoic acids. The structures of these compounds have been elucidated by elemental and spectral (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS) analysis. Furthermore, compounds were screened for in vitro antibacterial activity against the representative panel of two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria. All the synthesized compounds were also tested for their inhibitory action against five strains of fungus. The various compounds show potent inhibitory action against test organisms.

A novel biscalixarene with two kinds of calix[4]arene derivative units connected by four bridging chains, was facilely synthesized by "1+1" condensation mode in high yield. The element analyses, ESI-MS, 1H NMR and 1H-1H COSY spectrum showed that the calix[4]arene units of compound 4 were in cone conformations and compound 4 possessed biscalixarene-tube structure.

Abstract:
Tetracycline analogs were designed and synthesized and their bone affinities were tested on hydroxyapatite. The results showed that the carbonyl-amide-enol structure in A ring and phenol-ketone structure in BCD ring may be responsible for tetracycline's high bone affinity and either A ring or BCD ring has a planar conformation is essential.

Abstract:
Dendritic molecules with dodecyl groups as the hyperbranchs were synthesized in methanol by Michael addition with dodecylamine and methyl acrylate as raw materials. This new-type dendritic molecules were called vividly "broom molecules" in this report. The surface tension of the aqueous solution of broom molecule terminated amino group was measured by using the drop-volume method. The demulsification performance of the broom molecules for the oil/water (O/W) simulated crude oil emulsion was examined. The experimental results revealed that, as a new-type of surfactants, the broom molecules terminated amino groups showed demulsification for the O/W simulated crude oil emulsion.

Abstract:
2-[2-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethoxy)phenoxy]ethanamine is the key intermediate of Silodosin, the α1-adrenoceptor antagonist for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. In order to obtain this intermediate, we developed a novel synthetic route by utilizing 2-nitrochlorobenzene as the starting material via O-alkylation, reduction, diazotization, acidolysis, etherification, condensation and hydrazinolysis. The highlight of this method lies on its convenience and economy in accessing this intermediate.

Abstract:
Based on the perfect ohmic drop compensation by online electronic positive feedback, ultrafast cyclic voltammetry with asymmetrical potential scan is achieved for the first time, with the reduction of anthracene acting as the test system. Compared with the traditional cyclic voltammetry utilizing symmetrical triangular waveform as the excitation one, the new method allows a simpler approach to mechanistic analysis of ultrafast chemical reactions coupled with a charge transfer. And perhaps more important, it alsoprovides a way to eliminate the interference of the adsorbed product in dynamic monitoring.

Abstract:
A novel method was described for the rapid determination of atrazine using dispersive liquid phase microextraction in combination with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Possible impact parameters such as sample pH, extraction and disperser solvents, salting-out effect, and extraction time were investigated. The experimental results indicated that proposed method possessed an excellent analytical performance. The linear range, detection limit, and precision (R.S.D.) were 0.1-50 ng mL-1 (R2=0.9955), 0.601 ng mL-1 and 6.4%, respectively. The proposed method was validated with the real water samples,and the spiked recoveries were in the range of 69.9-89.8%, respectively. These results indicated that the established method with high enrichment factor, short extraction time was an excellent alternative for the routine analysis of atrazine in environmental samples.

Abstract:
A novel ehromogenic reaction involving copper(Ⅱ) and bromosulphonazo Ⅲ (Br-SAZⅢ) in hexamethylenetetramine-hydrochloric buffer solution was investigated. The results showed that a blue complex of copper(Ⅱ) and bromosulphonazo Ⅲ was formed with a molar ratio of 1:1. The apparent molar absorptivity was 3.3×105Lmol-1cm-1 and the maximum absorption peak was at 616.8 nm. The proposed procedure was used for quantitative estimation of Cu(Ⅱ) inthe concentration range of 0-1.024 μg/mL with the detection limit (3σ) of 7.03×10-4 μg/mL (n=20). The relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 0.56-4,68%. Under the optimized conditions, total copper in the vegetables and tea was successfully determined.

Abstract:
A series of four novel hydrazine-modified diamine conjugates (7a-b, 8a-b) were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity against Melanoma B 16, α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO)-treated B 16, spermidine (SPD)-treated B 16, Mouse leukemia L 1210 and Hela cell lines. Both the DFMO-B 16 and SPD-B 16 experiments indicated that conjugates 7a-b and 8a-b could recognize the polyamine transporter (PAT) and enter the cells in part or in whole via PAT, although they were not as efficient as the reference, 9-anthracenemethyl homospermidine (1).

Abstract:
Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-stabilized palladium nanoparticles were prepared and applied to the selective hydrogenation of 1,5-cyclooctadiene (1,5-COD) in thermoregulated PEG biphase system, which allows a reaction in a single-phase at a higher temperature followed by a phase split at a lower temperature. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the conversion of 1,5-COD and the selectivity of cyclooctene (COE) were 100 and 98%, respectively. The catalyst could be easily separated from the product by phase separation and reused for 6 times without evident loss in activity and selectivity.

Abstract:
Water-soluble property is the precondition of biomedical evaluation and application of carbon nanotube (CNT). Novel watersoluble CNT was synthesized in this letter by grafting phosphoryi choline (PC) onto multi-wall CNTs. Utilizing FTIR, XPS, TGA and TEM, the title CNTs were characterized and it was found that the target products could facilely dissolve in water.

Abstract:
Pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR) has been performed to study the diffusion of organic solvents into semicrystalline polyethylene particles. Self-diffusion coefficients in different domains of the sample can be extracted through a bi-exponential fit to the echo intensity attenuation, which allows the precise determination of the tortuosity of the polyethylene particles. Further exploration comes from the measurements with branched polyethylene particles and it was found that the diffusion in polymer phase contributed significantly to the slow component of the exponential decay curve.

Abstract:
The prepolymerization and curing reaction kinetics of polyurethane/montmorillonite have been studied with end group analysis and FTIR respectively. It was found that the prepolymerization and curing reaction followed the 2nd-order kinetics. But the activation energy of prepolymerization increased from 42.7 k J/mol to 56.5 k J/mol after the montmorillonite was added in the reaction system, and activation energy of curing reaction decreased from 64.4 kJ/mol to 17.5 k J/mol.

Abstract:
The relatively weak interactions between some non-charged amino acids with CO were investigated theoretically by using density functional theory (DFT) method. The stretching frequency of CO correlates well with its bond length followed the Badger's rule, and the correlation between binding energy and Mulliken charge partition of CO was also investigated for the first time.

Abstract:
In this work, a quantum-chemical investigation on the structural and opto-electronic properties of oligo(thiophene-phenylene)(4TP) is carried out. The results are discussed in comparison with the properties of corresponding oligothiopbene (8T) and oligophenylene (8P). As the opto-elcctronic properties of this type of conducting polymers are governed by their electronic band gap, we shall also present a comparison among HOMO, LUMO and band gap energies of these three materials.
