Cationic cyclization of neoprene with a diethylaluminum chloride and organic chloride catalyst system

The cyclization of neoprene was achieved with the aid of a cationic catalyst system based on diethylaluminum chloride (Et2AlCl) and an organic chloride, allyl chloride (CH2=CHCH2Cl) or benzyl chloride (C6H5CH2Cl). The main parameters of the cyclization process were investigated. Elastomers with low intrinsic viscosity, ready solubility and some gelling were obtained. Xylene was a good solvent for the cyclization process, which took place in a very short time (less than or equal to5 min). The products were characterized with IR, H-1-NMR, differential scanning calorimetry, and gel permeation chromatography. The polycyclic structure was determined. The degree of cyctization and the incorporated solvent content were estimated with a H-1-NMR method.

In this paper, we report on a solid phase time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay chelate reagent-4,7-bis(chlorosulfophenyl)1, 10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid (BCPDA), which is suitable as a fluorescent labeling agent. The five step synthesis product of BCPDA was presented for improving the purity of the product based on the three step synthesis product. The approach involves chlorization, hydrolyzing the ester, preparing disodium, carboxylate to diacid, sulfonation. The yield of five step product is 99 %, 45 %, 94 %, 95 %, 80 % respectively. The structure and purity of product was characterized by the melting point, IR,H-1 NMR, UV spectrum, element analysis, and proved to be consistent with the structure predictal.

Preparation and characterization of a novel beta-cyclodextrin modified poly(N-acetylaniline) film

Hydroquinone was chosen as an electroactive probe to study the beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) modified poly(N-acetylaniline) (PNAANI) electrode. The beta-CD modified PNAANI electrode was prepared by electrooxidation of the PNAANI electrode in a beta-CD/DMSO solution. The electrochemical properties of the beta-CD inclusion complex of hydroquinone on the PNAANI electrode and hydroquinone on the beta-CD modified PNAANI electrode were studied. In the cyclic voltammogram of hydroquinone at the beta-CD/PNAANI electrode, DeltaE(p) of the peaks is sharpening and the area of the peaks is increasing, which can be due to the inclusion of hydroquinone into the cavity of beta-CD immobilized at the electrode surface. The beta-CD/PNAANI film was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and H-1 NMR. The mechanism for beta-CD incorporation into the polymer film was also proposed.

The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and maleated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)

The thermal decomposition mechanism of maleated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) was investigated by FTIR and H-1 NMR. The results of experiments showed that the random chain scission of maleated PHB obeyed the six-membered ring ester decomposition process. The thermal decomposition behavior of PHB and maleated PHB with different graft degree were studied by thermogravimetry (TGA) using various heating-up rates. The thermal stability of maleated PHB was evidently better than that of PHB. With increase in graft degree, the thermal decomposition temperature of maleated PHB gradually increased and then declined. Activation energy E. as a kinetic parameter of thermal decomposition was estimated by the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Kissinger methods, respectively. It could be seen that approximately equal values of activation energy were obtained by both methods.

Preparation and characterization of PSt-b-PHEMA metal hybrids

The block copolymer polystyrene-b-poly[2-(trimethylsilyloxy)ethylene methacrylate] (PSt-b-PTMSEMA) was synthesized using atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The hydrolysis of PSt-b-PTMSEMA led to the formation of an amphiphilic block copolymer, polystyrene-b-poly(2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate) (PSt-b-PHEMA), which was characterized by GPC and H-1-NMR. TEM showed that the PSt-b-PHEMA formed a micelle, which is PSt as the core and PHEMA as the shell. Under appropriate conditions, the nickel or cobalt ion cause chemical reactions in these micelles and could be reduced easily. ESCA analysis showed that before reduction the metal existed as a hydroxide; after reduction, the metal existed as an oxide, and the metal content of these materials on the surface is more than that on the surface of the copolymer metal ion. XRD analysis showed that the metal existed as a hydroxide before reduction and existed as a metal after reduction.

Effect of rare earth element on the metabolism in rats by high resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

The high-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra can be used for the rapid multicomponent analysis in small amounts of biological fluids. In this paper, the effect of La (NO3)(3) on the rats' metabolism in urine was investigated by H-1 NMR analysis. The experimental groups of wistar rats were injected intraperitoneally with La(NO3)(3) at doses of 0.2, 2.0, 10 and 20mg/kg body weight. The remarkable variation of low molecular weight metabolites in urine has been identified by H-1 NMR spectra, in which dimethylamine, N, N-dimethylglycine, urea, alpha -ketoglutarate, trimethylamine N-oxide, succinate, citrate and amino acids have been suggested as NMR markers for renal damage and ethanol, lactate, taurine as the markers for liver damage. This work may assess its possible use in the early detection of biochemical changes associated with Rare Earth induced kidney and liver dysfunction.
