We report a sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy study of d-glucose, d-fructose and sucrose in the CH stretching vibration regime. Wetting effect on the SFG spectra was investigated. The SFG spectrum of d-glucose changed from that of α-d-glucose into those of α-d-glucose monohydrate by wetting. The SFG spectra showed evidence of a small change of β-d-fructopyranose into other anomers by ...

As shown especially for the transformation of the thermally rather unstable α-D-galactofuranosylnitromethane to α-D-galactofuranosylmethylamine, the electron-transfer reduction of glycosylnitromethanes with ferrous ions in aqueous ammonia at room temperature is a very mild and convenient alternative of the preparation of the corresponding glycosylmethylamines. Also βL-rhamnopyranosylmethylamine...

Two broad charmed mesons, the D∗ 0 and D ′ 1, have recently been observed. We examine the quark model predictions for the D∗ 0 and D ′ 1 properties and discuss experimental measurements that can shed light on them. We find that these states are well described as the broad, j = 1/2 non-strange charmed P -wave mesons. Understanding the D∗ 0 and D ′ 1 states can provide important insights into the...

One new, 3-O-[[[-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl]-3beta,22alpha,24-trihydroxyolean-12-ene and two known triterpenoid saponins, 3-O-[[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl]-3beta,22beta,24-trihydroxyolean-12-ene (azukisaponin V) and 3,16-di-O-beta-D-gluco...

a novel podand based anion receptor bearing benzimidazole motifs as recognition sites was designed and synthesized by reaction of 1,7-bis(2'-methylbenzoate)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane and phenylenediamine. the binding properties of anionic guest with this receptor were studied using uv-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. these studies revealed that this receptor exhibit selective recognition towards f- ...

Condensation products of 5-substituted phenyl-2-furoyl hydrazide with different monosaccharides D-glucose, D-galactose, D-mannose, D-fucose and D-arabinose were prepared. The anomerization and cyclic-acyclic isomers were investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The results showed that, except for the d-glucose derivatives, which were in the presence of β-anomeric forms, all derivatives were in an a...

An O-specific polysaccharide containing 2-acetamidino-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranose (Glcp2Am), 2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxy-beta-D-glucopyranose (QuipNAc4NAc, bacillosamine) and 2,4-di-(N-acetyl-L-alanylamino)-2,4,6-trideoxy-beta-D-glucopyranose (QuipNAlaAc4NAlaAc) was isolated from the phenol-soluble lipopolysaccharide fraction of the mushroom-associated bacterium Pseudomonas reactans. The st...

Purification of a MeOH extract from the aerial parts of Hylomecon vernalis Maxim. (Papaveraceae) using column chromatography furnished a new acetylated flavonol glycoside (1), together with twenty known phenolic compounds (2-21). Structural elucidation of 1 was based on 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy data analysis to be quercetin 3-O-[4‴-O-acetyl-α-L-arabinopyranosyl]-(1‴→6″)-β-D-galactopyranoside...

16 Spectroscopy 19(10) October 2004 Great strides were made in high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy with the introduction of two-dimensional (2-D) Fourier transformation (1, 2), which spreads the important information into two frequency dimensions. For the first time, spectroscopists were presented with a simple graphical picture of the correlations among different nucl...
