[figure: see text] Monomer (R,R)-3-aza-3-(p-vinylbenzyl)-1,5-diphenyl-1,5-dihydroxypentane (2) when polymerized with styrene and divinylbenzene affords polymers, onto which lithium and aluminum are incorporated via reaction with lithium aluminum hydride. The resulting insoluble polymers containing chiral lithium and aluminum active centers are quite effective for asymmetric Michael addition of ...

abstract        background and objective: aluminum salts are among the most common useful additive compounds in preparation of human and animal vaccines. aluminum phosphate and aluminum hydroxide are two additives that show good immunoadjuvant effects with many antigens. aluminum-containing vaccines lead to a better and longer immune response compared to adjuvant-lacking vaccines. the chromogen...

The elimination of the FexAly type phases was considered the solution to low ductility presented in aluminum-steel welded joints. Recently, the researches do not seek the suppression but the control of the thickness of these compounds. In this work, Al-Fe joints were manufactured by solid state and fusion welding, looking for controlling the formation of intermetallic comp...

Precocene Analogues, Deuteration A convenient route for the preparation of title compounds from benzopyran-4-one (1) and its corresponding 3,3-H2 deuterated analogue (2) is reported. Treatment of 1 or 2 with lithium aluminum deuteride followed by dehydration afforded, respectively, 4-H precocene (3c) or 3,4-H2 precocene (3b). Likewise, reduction of 2 with lithium aluminum hydride and subsequent...

in recent years, a potential connection between human intake of aluminum and alzheimer’s disease has drawn attention to the aluminum concentration in drinking water. it is therefore of interest to investigate the aluminum concentration m drinking water, produced under different circumstances. a random selection of 152 water samples were taken by the supply source including ground, surface and a...

The synthesis and characterization of a series of 8-quinolinolato gallium complexes is presented, and the complexes are analogous to a series of aluminum complexes previously reported. The complexes have been shown to be active initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide. High degrees of polymerization control are demonstrated, as exemplified by the linear evolution of molecul...

The first examples of five coordinate aluminum acetylide compounds chelated by a single ligand are reported in this paper. The combination of L(Bu)AlCl (where L1⁄4 Salen (1), Salpen (2), Salophen (3), Salomphen (4)) with LiCBCPh in THF at )78 C leads to the formation of the four acetylides (5–8), LCBCPh. These are extremely moisture sensitive and readily hydrolyze to form aluminum hydroxides an...

In this research, synthesis and characterization of silver/alumina composite powders was investigated. This kind of metal/ceramic composite powders is used for fabrication of cutting tools inserts. The role of silver is toughening the final product. The powders were synthesized via co-precipitation method. The composition of the synthesized powders was Ag/80% wt 〖Al〗_2 O_3. Silver nitrate, alum...

The study reported in the present issue of the Journal of Alzheimer’s disease by Mizoroki et al. [8] concludes that the failure of treatment of transgenic mice with aluminum maltolate to induce Alzheimer’s-like neuropathological changes provides proof that aluminum is not a causative agent in the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease. In our opinion, this report by Mizoroki et al. fails to provide an...
