Abstract:
An alternative approach to synthesize pedamide, a key building block of pederin was described. Iodine-induced asymmetric heterocyclization was used as the key step to construct the skeleton, a tetrahydropyran ring with three chiral centers. Brown's asymmetric allylation and Lewis acid-mediated allylation were investigated to introduce chains and chiral alcohols. Sharpless dihydroxylation decorated the side chain. And high optically pure target was obtained by removing the epimers formed in these reactions on column chromatography.

Abstract:
Three kinds of Ni-P electroless coatings were prepared in nickel sulphate solution at different pH values of 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5 with the purpose of ascertaining the influence of pH value on microstructure, internal stress statue and thermal stability of the coatings. Laser curvature (LC) method was used to measure the residual stress level in the coatings. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and transmission electronic microscopy with energy dispersive spectrum (TEM/EDS) were used to examine the surface morphology and internal phase structure of the coatings, respectively. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to analyze the phase transformation and thermal stability of the coatings at high temperature. Results showed the Ni-P coating prepared at pH 5.5 with nanocrystal mixed in amorphous structure had the worst thermal stability. The relatively higher stability of Ni-P coatings prepared at pH 4.5 and 6.5 was ascribed to the lower tensile stress level and much finer grain size, respectively. Besides, inverse Hall-Petch effect of annealing strengthening might also contribute to the integrity of Ni-P coating prepared at pH 6.5.

The modified electrode exhibited good promotion to the electrochemical oxidation of Xan and an ultrasensitive electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of Xan.

Abstract:
Uniform CePO 4 nanowires with diameter of about 25 nm were synthesized by the water-in-oil microemulsion method at room temperature from cerous chloride, sodium orthophosphate, sodium chloride, cyclohexane, Triton X-100 and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The crystal structure and morphology of the nanowires were characterized by XRD and TEM,respectively. The UV-vis absorption was detected by UV-vis spectrophotometer techniques. The results showed that as-prepared nanowires with the hexagonal phase have obvious quantum confinement effect and semiconductor characteristics. Little sodium chloride could play a positive role on the formation of CePO 4 nanowires at room temperature. The size of the nanowires can be controlled through the joining of sodium chloride.

Abstract:
A new zinc acetate catalyst which was prepared from modified activated carbon exhibited extreme activity towards the synthesis of vinyl acetate. The activated carbon was modified by nitric acid, vitriol and peroxyacetic acid (PAA). The effect on specific area,structure, pH and surface acidity groups of carriers by modification was discussed. Amount of carbonyl and carboxyl groups in activated carbon was increased by peroxyacetic acid treatment. The productivity of the new catalyst was 14.58% higher than that of catalyst prepared using untreated activated carbon. The relationship between amount of carbonyl and carboxyl groups (m) and catalyst productivity (P) was P=1.83+2.26×10-3*e3.17m. Reaction mechanism was proposed.

Abstract:
In this study, right-handed dicinnamate isosorbide was synthesized via the esterification reaction between optically active isosorbide and cinnamate. The chiral dopant was characterized by FT-IR,1H NMR, elemental analysis, SEM, UV absorption spectrum. After dissolving in a nematic liquid crystal mixture, the chiral dopant exhibited a temperature-dependent solubility in the chiral nematic liquid crystal mixture. Meanwhile, a relatively high value of helical twisting power of the polymerizable chiral dopant was determined. The results show that the chiral dopant has great potential in achieving a polymer stabilized chiral nematic liquid crystal film with a broad-band selective reflection.

A new method concerning with the simultaneous reinforcing and toughening of polypropylene (PP) was reported. Dynamical cure of the epoxy resin was successfully applied in the PP/maleic anhydride-grafted styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) triblock copolymer, and the obtained blends named as dynamically cured PP/MAH-g-SEBS/epoxy blends. The stiffness toughness of the blends are in a good balance, and MAH-g-SEBS was acted as not only an impact modifier but also a compatibilizer.The structure of the dynamically cured PP/MAH-g-SEBS/epoxy blends is the embedding of the epoxy particles by the MAH-SEBS.

Abstract:
A phosphorus-containing monomer (10-oxo-10-hydro-9-oxa-10λ5-phospha-phenanthrene-10-yl)-methyl acrylate (M1) was copolymerized with styrene to give a potential flame retardant copolymer of high thermal stability. The structures of monomer and copolymer were characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR measurements. The reactivity ratios for free-radical of the monomer (M1) and styrene (M2) were studied. The calculated results are as follows:r1=0.225, r2=0.503; Q1=0.413, e1=0.476; azeotropic point=0.37. TGA and DTG curves indicated that M1 is a potential flame retarding monomer for styrenic polymers.

Abstract:
Six new thermally stable polyesters (4a-f) were synthesized through the solution polycondensation reaction of 2,5-pyridine dicarbonyldichloride (2) with six aromatic diols in N,N'-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) solution and in the presence of pyridine as a base. The polycondensation reactions produce a series of new polyesters (4a-f) in high yields, and inherent viscosity between 0.30 and 0.55 dL/g. The resulting polyesters were characterized by elemental analysis, viscosity measurements, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA and DTG), solubility test, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
