Hypercohones A-C,acylphloroglucinol derivatives with homo-adamantane cores from Hypericum cohaerens

Three new homo-adamantanyl type natural products were derived from polyprenylated polycyclic acylphloroglucinol.Hypercohones A-C(1-3),along with five other known hypercohones(4-8),were isolated from the aerial parts of Hypericum cohaerens.The structures of 1-3 were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic analysis.The inhibitory activities of these isolates against five human cancer cell lines in vitro were tested.

The Numbers of Configurations, Chiral and Achiral Configurations of Saturated Polybasic Alcohols Containing an Adamantane Skeleton

By using Polya' s theorem, the generating functions of configurations, chiral and achi-ral configurations of saturated polybasic alcohols containing an adamantane skeleton were obtained. Tn order to calculate the generating functions of compounds which are substituted with a limited condition, an exclusive method is used and cycle index is modified.

Synthesis and Characterization of 3-Phenyl-adamantane-l-carboxylic Acid

Adamantane and its derivatives have been introduced into many drugs for current clinical research and some of them are used tor tlie treatment of neurological disease and/or used as the antiviral agents as well as the agents against type-2 diabetes.Recently,there have been many relevant research reported for developing medicinal chemistry by employing the adamantyl group.In this paper,a new adamantane-based compound (3-phenyl-adamantane-1-carboxylic acid,PACA) was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), themiogravimeric analysis(TGA),Fourier transtomi infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),etc.,which should be a beneficial complement or extension to the existing adamantyl-based materials.

Thiol-yne Click Adamantane Monolithic Stationary Phase for Capillary Electrochromatography

A porous crosslinked organic polymer based on N-acryloxysuccinimide （NAS） and ethylene dimethacrylate （EDMA） was prepared inside 75 μm i.d. fused silica capillary as functionalizable monolithic stationary phase for electrochromatographic applications. Succinimide groups on the monolith surface provide reactive sites able to re- act readily through standard electrophile-nucleophile chemistry. Propargylamine was used to prepare alkyne func- tionalized poly（NAS-co-EDMA）. Onto this thiol-reactive polymer surface was grafted adamantane units via a photochemically-driven addition reaction. Chemical characterization was performed in situ after each synthetic step by means of Raman spectroscopy and grafting kinetics was investigated to ensure quantitative grafting of 1-adamantanethiol. The as-designed monolithic stationary phase exhibited typical reversed-phase separation mechanism as evidenced by the linear increase of the logarithm of retention factor of neutral aromatic solutes with the increase of the aqueous buffer content in the mobile phase.

Composition and origin of molecular compounds in the condensate oils of the Dabei gas field, Tarim Basin, NW China

The Dabei gas field in the Kuqa Depression of the Tarim Basin is the most complex and deep continental condensate gas field in China. Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography?time of flight mass spectrometer (GC×GC-TOFMS) analysis was conducted on five condensate oil samples from this field. The results show that the samples have n-alkane series in complete preservation and rich adamantanes. According to the methyladamantane index, the condensate oil is the product of the source rock with vitrinite reflectance (Ro) of 1.3%–1.6%. According to the gas maturity calculated through carbon isotope and vitrinite reflectance, the natural gas is corresponding to Ro of 1.3%–1.7%, reflecting that the natural gas and condensate oil are basically formed during the same period at the high maturity stage of source rock. The Dabei gas field has favorable geological conditions for hydrocarbon accumulation: thick salt rock in the Paleogene acts as a regional high-quality caprock directly overlying the high-quality sandstone reservoir of the Cretaceous, the coal source rocks have high hydrocarbon generation intensity and provide continuous oil and gas, and the subsalt thrust structures develop in rows with rich faults, providing migration pathways for oil and gas migration. These factors together controlled the formation of the Dabei gas field.

PBO fibers/fluorine-containing liquid crystal compound modified cyanate ester wave-transparent laminated composites with excellent mechanical and flame retardance properties

Bisphenol A dicyanate ester resins modified by fluorine-containing liquid crystal compound(LCFE)are applied as polymer matrix(LCFE-BADCy),poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole)(PBO)fibers as rein-forcements,and fluorine/adamantane PBO precursor(pre FABPBO)as interfacial compatibilizer to prepare the corresponding PBO fibers/FABPBO/LCFE-BADCy wave-transparent laminated composites.LCFE could improve the order degree of BADCy cured network,in favor of enhancing the wave-transparent perfor-mance,mechanical properties,and intrinsic thermal conductivity.The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of PBO fibers/FABPBO/LCFE-BADCy composites are highly temperature(25–200℃)and frequency(10^(4)–10^(7) Hz and 8.2–12.4 GHz)stable with the value of 2.49 and 0.003 under 10^(6) Hz at 25℃,and the corresponding wave transmission efficiency is 95.0%,higher than that of 92.5%for PBO fibers/BADCy com-posites.The interlamellar shear strength and flexural strength are respectively 50.7 MPa and 682.5 MPa,38.1%and 16.2%higher than those of PBO fibers/BADCy composites.Besides,the volume resistivity,breakdown voltage,heat resistance index,glass transition temperature,flame retardant grade,and ul-timate oxygen index of PBO fibers/FABPBO/LCFE-BADCy composites are respectively 5.3×10^(15)Ωcm,29.75 kV/mm,217.2℃,245.7℃,V-1 grade,and 33.6%,expected to be performed as a new generation of“lightweight/loading/wave-transparent”electromagnetic window materials in advanced military weapons and civil communication base station.
