The kinetics of the oxidation of Ru (III) catalyzed oxidation of tartaric acid by potassium bromate in aqueous perchloric acid medium at constant ionic strength was investigated in the temperature range 303318 K. The reactions exhibit first order kinetics at low concentration of bromate, tending to zero order at high concentration. Zero order kinetics with respect to [tartaric acid] and first o...

Salicylic acid-Formaldehyde-m-Cresol (SFM) terpolymer had been synthesized in DMF media by conventional method. The resulting resin had been characterized by FTIR spectra, elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. The morphology of SFM resin had been studied by SEM and Optical photograph. Various parameters like rate of equilibration, effect of pH on ion exchange capacity and effect of conc...

The hormetic effect is a toxicological phenomenon in the soil ecosystem. influence of low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) on release and activation phosphorus (P) has become focus research. To what extent LMWOAs can regulate P then nutrients worth attention. This study aimed to investigate effects different types concentrations exogenous extraction, establish relationship between concen...

a one-pot synthesis of (s)-(-)-propranolol is reported. zn(no3)2/(+)-tartaric acid catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of (s)-(-)-propranolol via kinetic resolution of key intermediate ?-naphthyl glycidyl ether with high optical and chemical yield.

Cocrystal formation rates during dry grinding and liquid-assisted grinding were investigated by X-ray powder diffractometry and Raman spectroscopy. Two polymorphic forms of piracetam were used to prepare known piracetam cocrystals as model substances, i.e.,piracetam-citric acid and piracetam-tartaric acid cocrystals. Raman spectroscopy in combination with principal component analysis was used t...

Overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been associated with cancer. Targeted inhibition of the EGFR pathway has been shown to limit proliferation of cancerous cells. Hence, we employed Traditional Chinese Medicine Database (TCM Database@Taiwan) (http://tcm.cmu.edu.tw) to identify potential EGFR inhibitor. Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Com...

A simple, efficient and flexible strategy for the syntheses of cladospolides A-C and iso-cladospolide B is reported here. This strategy involves Julia-Kocienski olefination and Yamaguchi macrolactonization as key steps, starting from either d-ribose or suitable tartaric acid esters. Although our initial efforts towards cladospolide A involving a ring closing metathetic approach were not success...
