Formation of Hybrid Ring Structure of Cyanurate/Isocyanurate in the Reaction be-tween 2,4,6-Tris(4-Phenyl-Phenoxy)-1, 3,5-Triazine and Phenyl Glycidyl Ether

Reaction products of 2,4,6-tris(4-phenyl-phenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine derived from 4-phenylphenol cyanate ester and phenyl glycidyl ether were analyzed. In addition to an isocyanurate compound and an oxazolidone compound which were well known as reaction products of cyanate esters and epoxy resins, compounds with hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate were determined. Gibbs free energies of the compound having hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate with two isocyanurate moiety were found to be lower than that of the compound with cyanurate ring structure through calculations. Calculation data supported the existence of hybrid ring structure of cy-anurate/isocyanurate. It was revealed that isomerization from cyanurate to isocyanurate occurs via hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate in the reaction of aryl cyanurate and epoxy.

A two-hydroxyphenyl adamantane-type epoxy resin oligomer,namely 1,3-bis（4-（2,3-epoxpropyloxy）phenyl） adamantine （BEPAD）,has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The unit cell of C28H32O4：Mr =432.5,monoclinic,space group P21/n,with a =10.510（6）,b =16.972（9）,c =13.374（7） （A）,β =109.356（6）°,V=2251（2） （A）3,Z =4,Dc =1.277 Mg·m^-3 and μ（MoKa） =0.084 mm^-1.In BEPAD,the methylene and epoxide rings on two ends are statistically disordered.The intermolecular interactions are also discussed,suggesting that the intermolecular interactions in BEPAD are stronger than that in the crystals of similar compounds due to the large adamantine group between the two benzene rings.

Highly-selective Pt/PAA@MIL-125 Catalyst for Hydrosilylation of γ-(2,3-Epoxypropoxy) Trimethoxysilane

γ-(2,3-Epoxypropoxy)trimethoxysilane is a crucial silicone product synthesized by hydrosilylation.Its derived downstream silicone products have galvanized the development of silicone industry.However,the Speier's or Karstedt's catalysts commonly utilized in its industrial process are homogeneous,leading to complications,such as low catalytic selectivity and recycling difficulty.Herein,a new heterogeneous platinum catalyst was developed by using a titanium-based metal organic framework(MIL-125)composite with polylactic acid(PAA)as the support.The as-synthesized Pt/PAA-2@MIL-125 catalyst exhibited impressive catalytic performance,producing a 97%yield inβ-product,and maintained recyclability for the synthesis ofγ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)trimethoxysilane.Further characterization analyses revealed that the introduction of PAA resulted in the formation of a defective mesoporous MIL-125,which accelerated the transmission efficiency of reactants.Moreover,the abundant carboxylic acid groups in the MIL-125/PAA composite could interact strongly with Pt active species,thereby enhancing the catalytic performance and minimizing the loss of Pt,ultimately improving its cycling performance.The comprehensive experiments demonstrated the potential of this catalyst as an effective and versatile heterogeneous catalyst not only for the hydrosilylation of various olefins,but also for the hydrosilyation of silanes.

Isolation and structural elucidation of cytotoxic compounds from the root bark of Diospyros quercina (Baill.) endemic to Madagascar

Objective:To isolate and characterize the cytotoxic compounds from Diospyros quercina(Baill.)G.E.Schatz&Lowry(Ebenaceae).Methods:An ethno-botanical survey was conducted in the south of Madagascar from July to August 2010.Bio-guided fractionation assay was carried out on the root bark of Diospyros quercina,using cytotoxicity bioassay on murine P388 leukemia cell lines as model.The structures of the cytotoxic compounds were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.Results:Biological experiments resulted in the isolation of three bioactive pure compounds(named TR-21,TR-22,and TR-23)which exhibited very good in vitro cytotoxic activities with the IC_(50)values of(0.017 5±0.0060)μg/mL,(0.089±0.005)μg/mL and(1.027±0.070)μg/mL respectively.Thus,they support the claims of traditional healers and suggest the possible correlation between the chemical composition of this plant and its wide use in Malagasy folk medicine to treat cancer.Conclusions:The ability of isolated compounds in this study to inhibit cell growth may represent a rational explanation for the use of Diospyros quercina root bark in treating cancer by Malagasy traditional healers.Further studies are,therefore,necessary to evaluate the in vivo antineoplastic activity of these cytotoxic compounds as effective anticancer drugs.

Improved stability of blue TADF organic electroluminescent diodes via OXD-7 based mixed host

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)have been demonstrated in applications such as displays and solid-state lightings.However,weak stability and ineffi-cient emission of blue TADF OLEDs are two key bottlenecks limiting the development of solution processable displays and white light sources.This work presents a solution-processed OLED using a blue-emitting TADF small molecule bis[4-(9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine)phenyl]sulfone(DMAC-DPS)as an emitter.We comparatively investigated the effects of single host poly(Nvinylcarbazole)(PVK)and a co-host of 60%PVK and 30%2,2′-(1,3-phenylene)-bis[5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole](OXD-7)on the device performance(the last 10%is emitter DMAC-DPS).The co-host device shows lower turn-on voltage,similar maximum luminance,and much slower external quantum efficiency(EQE)rolloff.In other words,device stability improved by doping OXD-7 into PVK,and the device impedance simultaneously and significantly reduced from 8.6103 to 4.2103 W at 1000 Hz.Finally,the electroluminescent stability of the co-host device was significantly enhanced by adjusting the annealing temperature.

Constituents from the Roots of Semiaquilegia adoxoides

In present literature search, some cyano-containing compounds, which are very rare in plants, from the traditional anticancer herb Tiankuizi were reported. To find more cyano-containing compounds in the important plant Semiaquilegia adoxoides （DC） Makino （Chinese name Tiankuizi）, the isolation of the chemical constituents was investigated for advancing the research. Two new compounds, a new alkaloid, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-hydroxy-1[（3,4-dihydroxyphenyl）methyl]-7-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-isoquinolinium, named Semiaquilegine A （1）, and a new ester, 3-（4＇-hydroxyphenyl）-2-propenoic acid （4＂-carboxyl）-phenyl ester （2）, and four cyano-containing compounds, （Z）-6a-（β-D-glucosyloxy）-4a,5a-dihydroxy-2-cyclohexene-△^1,a-acetonitrile （3）, （L0-6α-（β-D-glucosyloxy）-4α-hydroxy-2-cyclohexene-△^1,α-acetonitrile （4）, lithospermoside （5）, ehretioside B （6）, as well as eleven known compounds, were isolated from the roots of Semiaquilegia adoxoides. The structures of new compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated mainly by 1D/2D-NMR techniques. Very unusual cyano-containing compounds 3 and 4 were first isolated from Ranunculaceae family. Hitherto, there were six cyano-containing compounds found in the herb.
