Michael addition reactions of morpholine and benzylamine to methyl 2,3-dideoxy-4,6-0-(phenylmethylene)-3-Cphenylsulfonyl-a-D-erythro-hex-2-enopyranoside 9 furnish glucoderivatives 10 and 11. Desulfonation at C-3 followed by synthetic manipulation produces intermediates for generating various new modified monosaccharides carry ing N-alkyl and N,N-dialkyl amino groups at the C-2 position of hexop...

A b s t r w A series of blends at molecular level dispersion between an organic polymer and metal oxide (mainly silica) are described. These blends are called "organicinorganic polymers hybrids". The dimension of dispersion of "hybrids" is much smaller than that of the so-called "composites". The most suitable organic polymers for the formation of hybrids are those which consist of repeating un...

The distribution of acyclic and cyclic biphytanediols, which are the putative breakdown products of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs), was investigated for recent marine sediments from Nankai Trough, offshore Kii Peninsula. The most abundant diol is tricyclic biphytanediol of which relative abundance is in the range from 32 to 46%. The carbon skeleton of the detected tricyclic biphy...

Platinum metal catalyzes the reduction of dialkyl(diolefin)platinum(II) complexes by dihydrogen to alkanes and platinum(0). The reaction involves adsorption of the platinum(II) complex on the platinum(0) catalyst surface with conversion of the alkyl moieties to platinum surface alkyls; these appear as alkane products. The platinum atom originally present in the soluble organoplatinum species be...

Merrifield resin was converted to various dialkyl-trihydroxybenzaldehyde resins and then to different bound imine resins. Fluorescence spectroscopy was used to continuously monitor the intermediates performed on the resins. Using fluorescent label (dansyl chloride) information on the kinetics of the amine cleavage was obtained. This study demonstrated that direct measures of fluorescence intens...
