A novel 9-step diastereoselective route to the ABCD ring system of the natural product rubriflordilactone B is reported. Use of an a-substituted butenolide derived from maleic anhydride facilitated a 1,4-conjugate addition to provide a diene. The order in which a ring-closing metathesis and enolate oxidation were performed on this compound dictate the relative stereochemistry of the target. The final product exhibited anisotropic effects during room temperature NMR studies, requiring elevated temperature experiments to confirm its identity.

Eleutherobin and dictyostatin are antimitotic compounds which exert their cytotoxic activity by a taxol-like mode of action, i.e., hypernucleating tubulin assembly and interfering with the dynamic instability of the cytoskeleton during mitosis. A formal total synthesis of eleutherobin was accomplished by accessing a key intermediate reported by Danishefsky and coworkers in their 1998 synthesis of the natural product. The key step of our strategy, used for obtaining the [8.4.0] fused bicyclic ring system, is a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of a densely functionalized diene under forcing conditions, using Grubbs' second-generation catalyst. Synthetic approaches to dictyostatin are also described, and in particular the preparation of the C15-C23 fragment of the macrolide, containing 5 of its 11 stereocenters.

A simple, straightforward and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of (E)-3-(arylimino)indolin-2-one derivatives and (E)-2-((4-methoxyphenyl)imino)- acenaphthylen-1(2H)-one. The synthesis of these biologically-significant scaffolds was achieved from the reactions of various substituted anilines and isatins or acenaphthaquinone, respectively, using commercially available, environmentally benign and naturally occurring organic acids such as mandelic acid or itaconic acid as catalyst in aqueous medium at room temperature. Mild reaction conditions, energy efficiency, good to excellent yields, environmentally benign conditions, easy isolation of products, no need of column chromatographic separation and the reusability of reaction media are some of the significant features of the present protocol.

Using micro-wave heating method, the previous disadvantages of heating slowly and non-uniform are broken through. And plain concrete high temperature loading experiment system is composed of the method and material experiment machine. Many experiments of self-made concrete are carried out from room temperature to 600°C by this system. The strength and critical strain of concrete with temperature are obtained, and through analysis of the compressive stress-strain curves under different temperature, the constitutive relationship is established. The result shows that this constitutive relationship is greatly agrees with experiment. Meanwhile, the phenomenon is analyzed and explained in the progress of experiment.

This paper presents the results of elevated temperatures on the compressive of high fly ash content concrete (HFCC). The specimens were prepared with three different replacements of cement by fly ash 30%, 40% and 50% by mass and the residual compressive strength was tested after exposure to elevated temperature 250, 450, 550 and 650°C and room temperature respectively. The results showed that the compressive strength apparently decreased with the elevated temperature increased. The presence of fly ash was effective for improvement of the relative strength, which was the ratio of residual compressive strength after exposure to elevated temperature and ordinary concrete. The relative compressive strength of fly ash concrete was higher than those of ordinary concrete. Based on the experiments results, the alternating simulation formula to determine the relationship among relative strength, elevated temperature and fly ash replacement is developed by using regression of results, which provides the theoretical basis for the evaluation and repair of HFCC after elevated temperature.

ABSTRACTAdditions and revisions to several of the most important phase diagrams and phase behavior diagrams in the silicon nitride field are reviewed in this work, with emphasis on the Y-Si-A1-O-N system. This information is further used to make observations on the promising silicon nitride systems containing either highly refractory grain boundary phases or compatible matrix phases of desirable properties. Examples are provided to illustrate the advantage of such a basic approach to materials design. Hardness, toughness, strength at room temperature and elevated temperature and even sinterability can all be improved by adopting such an approach.

The interaction of vapor phase P2 with the [Formula: see text] monolayer surface at room temperature and elevated temperature has been monitored by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) in conjunction with Auger electron spectroscopy and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). The surface rection can be readily followed by STM because of the very different contrast of the reacted areas in the STM images. The reaction develops around overlayer defects at room temperature and appears to be diffusion-limited, whereas at 300°C the reaction is initiated at the step edges, from which the reaction front progresses onto the lower terrace areas. At elevated temperature several ordered surface reconstructions, showing different STS fingerprints, are detected on the P–In/Si(111) surfaces, which are associated tentatively with P- and Si-terminated structures and an ordered InP phase.

The present work investigates the effect of alumina addition on the thermal resistance of fly ash geopolymers. Fly ash geopolymers were synthesised by mixing fly ash with activator solution (A mixture of 12M sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate) at fly ash/activator ratio of 2.5 and sodium silicate/sodium hydroxide ratio of 2.5. The alumina (0, 2 and 4 wt %) was added as an additive. The geopolymers were cured at room temperature for 24 hours and 60°C for another 24 hours. After 28 days, the geopolymers was heated to elevated temperature (200 - 1000°C). For unexposed geopolymers, the addition of 2 wt % of alumina increased the compressive strength of fly ash geopolymers while the strength decreased when the content increased to 4 wt.%. The temperature-exposed geopolymers showed enhancement of strength at 200°C regardless of the alumina content. The strength reduced at higher temperature exposure (> 200°C). Despite the strength degradation at elevated temperature, the strength attained was relatively high in the range of 13 - 45 MPa up to 1000°C which adequately for application as structural materials.
