The purpose of the study was to explore microbial transformations in cultures of basidiomycetes Pleurotus ostreatus, two bicyclic unsaturated lactones occurring in the form of two diastereoisomers. Some of these strains were able to transform unsaturated lactones into four known and three new derivatives. The structures of all lactones were established on the basis of spectroscopic data. Both substrates and products caused a complete inhibition of growth of A. alternata and F. linii strains.

<p>Aluminium nitride (AlN) is a semiconductor with a wide range of applications from light emitting diodes to high frequency transistors. Electronic grade AlN is routinely deposited at 1000 °C by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) using trimethylaluminium (TMA) and NH<sub>3</sub> while low temperature CVD routes to high quality AlN are scarce and suffer from high levels of carbon impurities in the film. We report on an ALD-like CVD approach with time-resolved precursor supply where thermally induced desorption of methyl groups from the AlN surface is enhanced by the addition of an extra pulse, H<sub>2</sub>, N<sub>2</sub> or Ar between the TMA and NH<sub>3</sub> pulses. The enhanced desorption allowed deposition of AlN films with carbon content of 1 at. % at 480 °C. Kinetic- and quantum chemical modelling suggest that the extra pulse between TMA and NH<sub>3</sub> prevents re-adsorption of desorbing methyl groups terminating the AlN surface after the TMA pulse. </p>

<div> <div> <div> <p>The zero- and double-quantum methyl TROSY Hahn-echo and the methyl <sup>1</sup>H-<sup>1</sup>H dipole- dipole cross-correlation nuclear magnetic resonance experiments enable estimation of multiple quantum chemical exchange broadening in methyl groups in proteins. The two relaxation rate constants are established to be linearly dependent using molecular dynamics simulations and empirical analysis of experimental data. This relationship allows chemical exchange broadening to be recognized as an increase in the Hahn-echo relaxation rate constant. The approach is illustrated by analyzing relaxation data collected at three temperatures for <i>E. coli </i>ribonuclease HI and by analyzing relaxation data collected for different cofactor and substrate complexes of <i>E. coli </i>AlkB. </p> </div> </div> </div>

Reaction of the aldehyde I with the lithium salt of 1-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-2-propyne yielded the compounds II and IV. From the compound II the lactone XII was prepared via the intermediates III and X, the lactone XVIII was prepared from the substance IV via the intermediates V and XVI. The unsaturated lactones XII and XVIII were also prepared by sulfenylation and dehydrosulfenylation of the saturated lactones XIII and XIX. Based on chemical correlation and 1H-NMR spectra analyses of the compounds II and IV, the lactone XII was assigned the 20R-configuration whereas the lactone XVIII was allotted the 20S-configuration.

A new stereospecific ligand, ethylenediamine-N,N'-di(S)-α-isocapronic acid, was synthesized by condensation of (S)-leucine with 1,2-dibromoethane in alkaline aqueous medium. It follows from the 1H and 13C NMR spectra that the terminal methyl groups are chemically and magnetically nonequivalent. Of the four theoretically possible isomers of the ternary cobalt (III) complex with ethylenediamine, separation on catex yielded only one, whose absolute configuration was determined by a combination of 1H and 13C NMR, electron absorption spectroscopy and CD and IR spectroscopy.

3β-Acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) reacts with acetic anhydride in pyridine under very mild conditions affording β-lactone IVa and γ-lactones Va and VIIa as condensation products. On reaction with pyridine, lactones Va and VIIa undergo elimination of acetic acid to give unsaturated lactones VIIIa and IXa, respectively. Similarly, the condensation of 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with acetic anhydride leads to β-lactone IVb and γ-lactone Vb; the latter on heating with pyridine affords unsaturated lactone VIIIb and 21-methylene-22-ketone Xb. The structure of the obtained compounds was derived using spectral methods, particularly 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy; structure of lactone IVa was confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

A series of substituted polybenzoxazines was synthesized and studied as binders in non-asbestos friction composite materials. The structures of the polybenzoxazines were varied in a systemic fashion by increasing the number and position of pendant alkyl (methyl) groups and was accomplished using the respective aromatic amines during the polymer synthesis step. By investigating the key thermomechanical and tribological characteristics displayed by the composite materials, the underlying structure-properties relationships were deconvoluted. Composite friction materials with higher thermomechanical and wear resistance properties were obtained from polybenzoxazines with relatively high crosslink densities. In contrast, polybenzoxazines with relatively low crosslink densities afforded composite friction materials with an improved coefficient of friction values and specific wear rates.

Terpenoids 1 and 2 have been synthesized from readily available starting materials using Li2CuCI4-catalysed coupling of Grignard reagents with alkyl/aryl bromides and microwave-assisted oxidation of allylic methyl groups, using SeO2/ButOOH adsorbed over SiO2 as key steps.
