Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,2-Dis(1,3-diphenylpropan-2-yl)disulfane

A novel compound of 1,2-dis（1,3-diphenylpropan-2-yl）disulfane（C30H30S2,Mr=454.27）was synthesized in ethanol with 1,3-diphenyl-2-propanone as raw materials,giving high yield of product（90%）.Its structure was determined by IR,1H NMR,MS,elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction.The crystal belongs to monoclinic,space group C2 with a=18.727（3）,b=6.5179（9）,c=13.7576（18）,β=131.0610（10）o,V=1266.2（3）3,Z=2,Dc=2.136 g/cm3,μ=1.078 mm-1,F（000）=843,R=0.0490 and wR=0.1247 for 3211 observed reflections with I2（I）.X-ray analysis reveals that the molecule is not symmetrical.There exist no classical hydrogen bonds andπ-πstacking interactions.Moreover,the thermal stability of compound 3 was investigated.

Morphology Control over the Organic Nanoparticles of 1,3-Diphenyl-5-(9-anthryl)-2-pyrazoline

The organic nanoparticles of a blue-light-emitting molecule,1,3-diphenyl-5-(9-anthryl)-2-pyrazoline,were prepared by reprecipitation method using acetonitrile as the solvent for the molecular precursor. Three morphologies,spherical,doughnut-shaped and cubic,could be observed on the silicon substrate for the nanoparticles by the volume-controlled addition of acetonitrile. The evolution of particle morphology as a function of acetonitrile addition was attributed to the variation of the growth habits of the particles in the different environment. The nanoparticles exhibit the novel photoluminescence spectra as compared to those of monomer and the bulk crystals.

Synthesis of a New β-Mercaptoalcohol

In this letter, (R)-1,1-diphenyl-2-mercapto-3-methyl-1-butanol was synthesized from L-valine and two synthetic routes have been tried.

Synthesis of 3,3,5,5-tetrabenzyl-1,2,4-trithiol and 1,2-dis(1,3-arylpropan-2-yl)disulfane

Novel sulfur-containing compounds （3a-3c, 4a-4c） were obtained in ethanol with 1,3-diphenyl-2- propanone as the starting material. The advantages of this procedure were mild reaction conditions, simple protocol, and high yields. The structures of the products were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, MS and elementary analysis. The crystal of the new compound 4a belongs to monoclinic, space group C2 with a=18.727（3）, b=6.5179（9）, c=13.7576（18） A, fl=131.0610（10）°, V=I266.2（3）A3, Z=2, Dc=2.136g/cm3, μ=1.078mm 1, F（000）=843, R=0.0490 and wR=0.1247 for 3211 observed reflection with I 〉 2σ（I）. X-ray analysis reveals that the molecule is not symmetrical, the molecular structure is stabilized by weak π-π stacking interactions, and no classical hydrogen bonds can be observed.

Comparison of Antioxidant Activities of Silver Nanoparticles and Methanol Extracts of Three Indigenous Nigeria Herbal Seeds

The antioxidant of seeds was carried out using extracts from methanol and Silver Nanoparticles from the spice. The SEM shows the shapes, dispersion and agglomeration of the sample, while the EDX confirms the SEM and the presence of some compounds. The FT-IR reveals the AgNPs capping and reducing the particular biomolecule from the functional group for identification. Compounds found in the FT-IR seeds of Capsicum annum are Ag L (Silver iodide), C K (Cyanogen chloride), P K (Phenol). Monodora myristica are Mo L (Molybdenum), Ag L (Silver iodide), C K (Cyanogen chloride), P K (Phenol), Mg K (Magnesium). Piper guineense are Ag L (Silver iodide), Ci K (Potassium chloride), C K (Cyanogen chloride), P K (Phenol). The seeds show that the AgNPS of CA and MM has a better antioxidant activity than the methanol of CA and MM, while the PG methanol has a better activity than the AgNPS PG. The control (Catechin and Galic acid) has a slight overall better DPPH activity than the AgNPS. It is important to note that there is a concentration dependency in CA, MM AgNPS, PG methanol respectively. Notably, at CA methanol, the conc. at 125 was higher than the conc. at 250. Hence, there is need to create a great part in using plant samples for making tabulated or capsulated drugs for treatment of diseases and using plant silver nanoparticles to develop a healthy food/drug preservative package material “smart packaging” that will enhance shelf-life.

Screening of Fungi from Chinese Medical Plants for Anti-Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Activity

In order to Isolate anti-human Immunodeflclency virus （HIV） agents from natural products, 97 ethanollc extracts of 90 fungi were tested for their Inhibitory activity on HIV-1. Most of the extracts tested were relatively non-toxic to human lymphocytic MT-4 cells, but extracts of some fungi exhibited potent antl-HIV activity In an in vitro 3-（4, 5-dlmethyl-2 thlazoyl）-2,5-dlphenyl-2H-tetrazollum bromide assay with a selectivity Index greater than 3. Most fungi were Isolated from Dendrobium sp. and Taxus sp.
