Yuan, Bingbing; Li, Pengfei; Wang, Peng; Yang, Hao; Sun, Honghong; Li, Peng; Sun, Haixiang; Niu, Q. Jason published the artcile< Novel aliphatic polyamide membrane with high mono-/divalent ion selectivity, excellent Ca2+, Mg2+ rejection, and improved antifouling properties>, SDS of cas: 4415-87-6, the main research area is aliphatic polyamide nanofiltration membrane preparation water desalination ion rejection.

Monomer design and reconstruction is typically a preferred route to tune the inner structure and screen the performance of polyamide nanofilms for their efficiency and ease of scaling up in industrial production Herein, two kinds of novel acyl chloride monomers, 1,2,3,4-cyclobutane tetracarboxylic acid chloride (BTC) and 1,2,4,5-cyclohexanetetracarboxylic acid chloride (HTeC), have been designed and synthesized. The BTC and HTeC monomers can rapidly react with amine mol. at interface to form an aliphatic polyamide nanofilm that is denser than that of TMC based polyamide membrane. The resulting mean effective pore size of the BTC and HTeC polyamide nanofilms is 0.184 nm and 0.197 nm, which is lower than that of the TMC nanofilm at 0.238 nm. Desalination experiments revealed that the aliphatic polyamide membrane shows more than a 98% rejection rate for CaCl2, MgCl2, and MgSO4 and a water flux of 84.4 kg m-2 h-1 MPa-1 (for 2000 ppm MgSO4). Moreover, the ion selectivity of Na+/Mg2+ and Na+/Ca2+ of the BTC membrane is as high as 126 and 31.5, resp. These are much higher than those of the related TMC and com. nanofiltration membranes. Fouling experiments indicate that the flux decline rate (FDR) of the aliphatic polyamide membrane is only 38%, whereas the FDR of the full-aromatic polyamide membrane is 60%. Further investigations confirmed that surface roughness is the main factor affecting the fouling behaviors of polyamide membranes. Our results demonstrate that BTC and HTeC monomers are unique potential materials in the fabrication of nanofiltration membranes used for water treatment such as water softening and ion sieving.

Netto-Ferreira, J. C.; Wintgens, V.; Scaiano, J. C. published the artcile< Lifetimes of biradicals produced in the Norrish Type I reaction of methyl-substituted 2-tetralones>, Application of C8H14O2, the main research area is Norrish photolysis biradical lifetime tetralone.

The Norrish Type I biradicals derived from 2-tetralones decay by a competition of recyclization to the starting material, intramol. disproportionation to yield aldehydes and decarbonylation. The last path is only favored in the case of 3,3-dimethylated derivatives while, in the other extreme, the parent 2-tetralone is essentially photostable. The biradical lifetimes are around 140 ns in benzene and 40 ns or less in nonaromatic solvents; they show little sensitivity to the solvent polarity and hydrogen bonding ability. The remarkable stabilization of the biradical in benzene is probably due to specific interactions between the acyl center in the biradical and benzene, since similar effects have not been observed in other biradicals.

Fovanna, Thibault; Campisi, Sebastiano; Villa, Alberto; Kambolis, Anastasios; Peng, Gael; Rentsch, Daniel; Krocher, Oliver; Nachtegaal, Maarten; Ferri, Davide published the artcile< Ruthenium on phosphorous-modified alumina as an effective and stable catalyst for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural>, Electric Literature of 97-99-4, the main research area is ruthenium phosphorus modified alumina catalyst preparation furfural hydrogenation.

Supported ruthenium was used in the liquid phase catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural. To improve the stability of Ru against leaching, phosphorus was introduced on a Ru/Al2O3 based catalyst upon impregnation with ammonium hypophosphite followed by either reduction or calcination to study the effect of phosphorus on the physico-chem. properties of the active phase. Characterization using X-ray diffraction, solid state 31P NMR spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction with H2, IR spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption from the liquid phase and transmission electron microscopy indicated that phosphorus induces a high dispersion of Ru, promotes Ru reducibility and is responsible for the formation of acid species of bronsted character. As a result, the phosphorus-based catalyst obtained after reduction was more active for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural and more stable against Ru leaching under these conditions than a benchmark Ru catalyst supported on activated carbon.

Wappes, Ethan A.; Vanitcha, Avassaya; Nagib, David A. published the artcile< β C-H di-halogenation via iterative hydrogen atom transfer>, Name: 2,2,5,5-Tetramethyldihydrofuran-3(2H)-one, the main research area is geminal dihalide regioselective preparation; imidate preparation photochem tandem dihalogenation hydrogen transfer.

A radical relay strategy for mono- and di-halogenation (iodination, bromination, and chlorination) of sp3 C-H bonds was developed. This is the first example of β C-H di-halogenation is achieved through sequential C-H abstraction by iterative, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). A double C-H functionalization was enabled by in-situ generated imidate radicals, which facilitate selective N to C radical translocation and tunable C-X termination. The versatile, geminal di-iodide products were further elaborated to β ketones and vinyl iodides. Mechanistic experiments explained the unique di-functionalization selectivity of this iterative HAT pathway, wherein the second C-H iodination is twice as fast as the first.

Weerachawanasak, Patcharaporn; Krawmanee, Pacharaporn; Inkamhaeng, Weerachat; Cadete Santos Aires, Francisco J.; Sooknoi, Tawan; Panpranot, Joongjai published the artcile< Development of bimetallic Ni-Cu/SiO2 catalysts for liquid phase selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol>, Name: (Tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methanol, the main research area is development bimetallic nickel copper SiO2 catalyst liquid hydrogenation furfural.

Bimetallic Ni-Cu/SiO2 catalysts with different Cu loading (2-5 wt%) were developed for liquid phase selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alc. Among these, bimetallic 2%Ni-X%Cu/SiO2 (X = 2, 5) catalysts exhibited better catalytic performances than monometallic 2%Ni/SiO2 and 2%Cu/SiO2. Moreover, the bimetallic 2%Ni-5%Cu/SiO2 catalyst showed the best catalytic performance with 94% of furfural conversion and 64% of furfuryl alc. selectivity. The synergetic effect of NiCu alloy particles that are present on bimetallic Ni-Cu/SiO2 catalysts change the adsorption configuration of furfural on the catalyst surface resulting in high catalytic performance in liquid phase selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alc.

Ruan, Luna; Zhang, Huan; Zhou, Man; Zhu, Lihua; Pei, An; Wang, Jiexiang; Yang, Kai; Zhang, Chuanqun; Xiao, Suqun; Chen, Bing Hui published the artcile< A highly selective and efficient Pd/Ni/Ni(OH)2/C catalyst for furfural hydrogenation at low temperatures>, Recommanded Product: (Tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methanol, the main research area is furfural hydrogenation nickel palladium carbon nanocatalyst furfuryl alc.

Hydrogenation of furfural (FF) produces a train of products such as furfuryl alc. (FFA), tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. (THFFA) and 2-methylfuran (2-MF). The Pd/Ni/Ni(OH)2/C nanocatalyst was successfully prepared under mild conditions by hydrazine hydrate reduction and galvanic replacement methods. Pd/Ni/Ni(OH)2/C had much higher conversion of furfural and selectivity toward furfuryl alc. for the selective hydrogenation of furfural than the monometallic catalysts (eg. Pd/C or Ni/C) due to its unique nanostructure of palladium island-on-Ni/Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles and thus the synergy effect between Pd, Ni and Ni(OH)2 related species. The proposed mechanism of the synergistic effect was also provided. Pd/Ni/Ni(OH)2/C showed high selectivity (90.0% or 92.4%) to furfuryl alc. at quite low reaction temperatures (5°C or 10°C), and had good stability. We used various characterization techniques (XRD, HRTEM, STEM-EDS elemental mapping and line-scanning, XPS, HS-LEIS) to compare the nanostructural differences between the monometallic and bimetallic catalysts as well as to explain the possible reasons for the superior performance of Pd/Ni/Ni(OH)2/C to corresponding monometallic catalysts.

Sasidharan, Sreeja; Pochinda, Simon; Elgaard-Joergensen, Paninnguaq Naja; Rajamani, Sudha; Khandelia, Himanshu; Raghunathan, V. A. published the artcile< Interaction of the mononucleotide UMP with a fluid phospholipid bilayer>, SDS of cas: 58-97-9, the main research area is mononucleotide uridine monophosphate phospholipid cryogenic SEM.

Interaction between mononucleotides and lipid membranes is believed to have played an important role in the origin of life on Earth. Studies on mononucleotide-lipid systems hitherto have focused on the influence of the lipid environment on the organization of the mononucleotide mols., and the effect of the latter on the confining medium has not been investigated in detail. We have probed the interaction of the mononucleotide, UMP (UMP), and its disodium salt (UMPDSS) with fluid dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) membranes, using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), cryogenic SEM (cryo-SEM) and computer simulations. UMP adsorbs and charges the lipid membrane, resulting in the formation of unilamellar vesicles in dilute solutions Adsorption of UMP reduces the bilayer thickness of DMPC. UMPDSS has a much weaker effect on interbilayer interactions. These observations are in very good agreement with the results of an all-atom mol. dynamics simulation of these systems. In the presence of counterions, such as Na+, UMP forms small aggregates in water, which bind to the bilayer without significantly perturbing it. The phosphate moiety in the lipid headgroup is found to bind to the hydrogens from the sugar ring of UMP, while the choline group tends to bind to the two oxygens from the nucleotide base. These studies provide important insights into lipid-nucleotide interactions and the effect of the nucleotide on lipid membranes.

Song, Yongzhi; Yuan, Lili; Wang, Zhiyuan; Yang, Shiyong published the artcile< Photo-aligning of polyimide layers for liquid crystals>, Computed Properties of 4415-87-6, the main research area is photoaligning polyimide layer liquid crystal display.

A series of soluble and highly transparent semi-alicyclic polyimides (PIs) with designed flexible linkages have been synthesized derived from an alicyclic aromatic dianhydride (1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, CBDA) and various aromatic ether-bridged diamines. The semi-alicyclic PIs were evaluated as the photo-alignment layers of liquid crystal (LC) mols. in liquid crystal display (LCD). Exptl. results indicate that the photo-alignment characteristics of LC mols. induced by the photo-aligned PI layers and the electro-optical (EO) properties of the LC cell devices are closely related with PI backbone structures. The retardation of the photo-aligned PI layers is correlated with the UV absorption intensity of PI at 220 to approx. 330 nm. The higher UV absorption intensity PI has, the higher retardation and lower pre-tilt angle the photo-aligned PI layer exhibits. The defect-free and photo-aligned PI layer could result into the uniform LC texture, which is highly desired for in-plane switching (IPS) mode LCD devices. In comparison, PI layer containing trifluoromethyl moiety shows poor photo-aligning performance because of the strong electronic withdrawing effect of the fluorinated linkage.

Takada, Kenji; Noda, Takumi; Kobayashi, Takuya; Harimoto, Toyohiro; Singh, Maninder; Kaneko, Tatsuo published the artcile< Synthesis of pH-responsive polyimide hydrogel from bioderived amino acid>, Application In Synthesis of 4415-87-6, the main research area is bioderived amino acid diamino alpha truxillic tetracarboxylic dianhydride polyimide.

A series of biobased polyimides bearing a structure derived from a predetermined tetracarboxylic dianhydride was synthesized. By ionizing the COOH group of the side chain with potassium hydroxide, four kinds of polyimides were solubilized in water, and the water-soluble polyimides were cast onto films over an aqueous solution, leading to higher optical transparency than that of non-water-soluble polyimides. 1H NMR measurements of the polyimides revealed no residual reactants from the polymerization process or side-chain modification. Partial crosslinking of the water-soluble polyimide chains by condensation of the carboxylate side chain with an amino acid-based diamine such as 4-aminophenylalanine or 4,4′-diamino-α-truxillic acid induced the formation of polyimide hydrogels. The remaining COOK groups of the obtained hydrogel were protonated/deprotonated by changing the pH, accompanied by reversible shrinking and swelling.

Brandao, Tiago A. S.; Richard, John P. published the artcile< Orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase: The operation of active site chains within and across protein subunits>, Computed Properties of 58-97-9, the main research area is orotidine monophosphate decarboxylase Saccharomyces active site subunit substrate.

The D37 and T100′ side chains of orotidine 5′-monophosphate decarboxylase (OMPDC) interact with the C-3′ and C-2′ ribosyl hydroxyl groups, resp., of the bound substrate. We compare the intra-subunit interactions of D37 with the inter-subunit interactions of T100′ by determining the effects of the D37G, D37A, T100’G, and T100’A substitutions on the following: (a) kcat and kcat/Km values for the OMPDC-catalyzed decarboxylations of OMP and 5-fluoroorotidine 5′-monophosphate (FOMP) and (b) the stability of dimeric OMPDC relative to the monomer. The D37G and T100’A substitutions resulted in 2 kcal mol-1 increases in ΔG† for kcat/Km for the decarboxylation of OMP, while the D37A and T100’G substitutions resulted in larger 4 and 5 kcal mol-1 increases, resp., in ΔG†. The D37G and T100’A substitutions both resulted in smaller 2 kcal mol-1 decreases in ΔG† for the decarboxylation of FOMP compared to that of OMP. These results show that the D37G and T100’A substitutions affect the barrier to the chem. decarboxylation step while the D37A and T100’G substitutions also affect the barrier to a slow, ligand-driven enzyme conformational change. Substrate binding induces the movement of an α-helix (G’98-S’106) toward the substrate C-2′ ribosyl hydroxy bound at the main subunit. The T100’G substitution destabilizes the enzyme dimer by 3.5 kcal mol-1 compared to the monomer, which is consistent with the known destabilization of α-helixes by the internal Gly side chains [Serrano, L., et al. (1992) Nature, 356, 453-455]. We propose that the T100’G substitution weakens the α-helical contacts at the dimer interface, which results in a decrease in the dimer stability and an increase in the barrier to the ligand-driven conformational change.
