It is the active, raw form of cholesterol. Cholesteryl Ester is the inactive form in which cholesterol is esterified to be transported to target organs. The newly developed process of making bulky esters from unprecedented tertiary alcohols is applied to synthesize cholesterol esters successfully. Although cholesterol is a secondary alcohol, it is a very bulky and interesting compound due to its immense application. Usually, specific enzymes catalyze cholesterol to cholesterol ester. This project aims to develop a cross-coupling chemistry process to synthesize cholesterol esters and see the broader application of those new cholesterol esters in chemical biology. The mixture of cholesterol, sodium tert-butoxide, aroyl chloride, the catalyst PdCl2 (dtbpf) complex, and the solvent 1,4-dioxane, when microwaved at 100˚C for 2 hours, works well for the formation of cross-coupling cholesterol ester products in good to high yields.展开更多

Here, we fabricate a bifunctional Au-Pd nanocoronal film for in situ SERS monitoring Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. This excellent bifunctional substrate leads to the coupling of high catalytic activity with a strong SERS effect at the center of two adjacent Au cores and shows fine reproducibility and stability of SERS signals. During investigating the Suzuki reaction with in situ SERS, we found two distinct catalytic kinetic processes resulted from two disparate catalytic sites on a Au-Pd nanocoronal. Comparing with conventional analytical techniques, this work provides a novel approach for studying Suzuki reactions at surfaces and/or interfaces with in situ SERS.展开更多

Suzuki cro...Highly active, air-stable and water-soluble palladium-phosphinous acid complexes have been applied to Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of heteroaryl bromides under mild conditions in water/alcoholic solvents. Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of heteroaryl bromides with phenylboronic acid occurred efficiently using palladium phosphinous acid complexes （POPd） and phase transfer catalyst （tetrabutylammonium bromide and polyethylene glycol） in water/ethanol mixture, water/propanol mixture and neat water respectively, the corresponding yields of cross-coupling heteroaryl-aryls were satisfied. The tert-butyl substituted ligand di-tert-butylphosphino in combination with POPd was found to be more active than the same family derived catalysts dipalladium complexes POPdl and POPd2, and other two kinds of Pd-catalysts Pd（PPh3）4 and Pd2（dba）3. The mechanism of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction between heteroaryl bromides and phenylboronic acid in water was proposed with respect to the key role of phase transfer catalyst on the transmetallation step. Compared with other solid phase transfer catalysts, TBAB was tested as the ideal one. The alkalinity of base and the molar proportion between POPd and TBAB were investigated in water and alcoholic solvents. Notably, in the presence of TBAB adding alcoholic solvents into water enhanced the yields of target products. However in terms of the liquid phase transfer catalyst of PEGs, mixing water into PEGs could slightly decrease the yields with respect to the water free PEGs bulk phase, which was probably due to the homogenous liquid conditions in pure PEGs and weak interactions between PEGs and heteroaryl bromide molecules in water depending on their molecular chain lengths.展开更多

文摘A novel method for the synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetraalkyl-1,4-diarylbutadienes was developed via palladiumcatalyzed cross-coupling of zirconacyclopentadienes with aryl iodides. Equivalent of Cu Cl was introduced to promote the reaction. The desired products were obtained in good to excellent yields and several of them were reported for the first time.
文摘The present paper deals with the polymerization of ( R ) 3,3′ diiodo 2,2′ binaphtho 20 crown 6 with \{ p divinylbenzene\} under Heck coupling reaction condition. Both the monomers and the polymer were analyzed by NMR, FTIR, UV, CD, fluorescent spectroscopy, polarimetry, GPC and elemental analysis. The polymer can emit a strong blue fluorescence and is expected to have the potential application in the polarized blue light emitting sensors. The chiral conjugated polymer exhibits a strong Cotton effect in its Circular Dichroism(CD ) spectrum, indicating the high rigidity of the polymer backbone.
