Trans-cis isomerization and the blue phases.
A new class of photoactive chiral liquid crystals based on a photoactive nematic host material and a photoinactive chiral dopant was utilized to investigate the behavior of the blues phases when trans-cis isomerization is induced. While the general behavior follows what has been observed in the cholesteric phase, the sensitivity of the blue phases to external parameters causes different behavio...
متن کاملKinetics of the cis,cis to trans,trans isomerization of 1,1,2,2,5,5,6,6-octamethyl-1,2,5,6-tetrasilacycloocta-3,7-diene.
The kinetics of the ruthenium-promoted cis,cis to trans,trans isomerization of 1,1,2,2,5,5,6,6-octamethyl-1,2,5,6-tetrasilacycloocta-3,7-diene were investigated. Incubation of a ruthenium alkylidene complex, (Cy(3)P)RuCl(2)(==CHPh)Ru(p-cymene)Cl(2), in CD(2)Cl(2) for 5 days at 40 degrees C afforded a catalytically active ruthenium species that was shown to be responsible for promoting the isome...
متن کاملAccumulation of all-trans-beta-carotene and its 9-cis and 13-cis stereoisomers during postharvest ripening of nine Thai mango cultivars.
Accumulation of beta-carotene during postharvest ripening of nine Thai mango cultivars was assessed after verifying extraction and high-performance liquid chromatographic quantification of the beta-carotene stereoisomers for this sample matrix. No relevant trans-cis isomerization was induced by the analytical procedure. The vitamin A potential of mangoes was evaluated at different ripening stag...
متن کاملElectron transfer mediated geometrical cis-trans isomerization of polyenes
In view of the possible role of electron transfer in biology and medicine, and wide distribution of polyenes in living nature, we consider the electron transfer mechanism of geometrical cis-trans isomerization as an important route which can play a key role in many photochemical and biological processes. The various mechanisms of geometrical cis-trans isomerization mediated by electron transfer...
متن کاملcis–trans Isomerization of silybins A and B
Methods were developed and optimized for the preparation of the 2,3-cis- and the 10,11-cis-isomers of silybin by the Lewis acid catalyzed (BF3∙OEt2) isomerization of silybins A (1a) and B (1b) (trans-isomers). The absolute configuration of all optically pure compounds was determined by using NMR and comparing their electronic circular dichroism data with model compounds of known absolute config...
