Sinapic acid-2-C14 is converted by 25-day-old wheat plants to sinapyl lignin 6 times as efficiently as to coniferyl lignin. This factor rises to 16 in heading wheat, indicating lessened ability to demethoxylate the sinapyl nucleus with increasing age. Feeding experiments with 3-(3,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-acrylic acid (5-hydroxyferulic acid) provided evidence for the participation of this compound in the conversion of ferulic to sinapic acid. In plants at an early stage of lignification 5-hydroxyferulic acid was dehydroxylated to ferulic acid and was converted to coniferyl lignin, but evidence about the conversion of 5-hydroxyferulic acid to coniferyl lignin in more mature plants was conflicting. Demethylation of sinapic to 5-hydroxyferulic acid was demonstrated by means of a trapping experiment. Ferulic acid-2-C14 is reduced to coniferyl aldehyde and coniferyl alcohol in heading wheat plants and cambial tissue cultures of Pinus strobus.

This paper proposes a novel soft ionic liquid (IL) electrically functional device that displays resistive memory characteristics using poly(acrylic acid) partial sodium salt (PAA-Na+:H2O) solution gel and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in a thin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) cylindrical microchannel.

AbstractAsymmetric hydroboration of simple and unactivated terminal alkenes (α-olefins), feedstock chemicals derived from the petrochemical industry, has not been efficiently realized for past decades. Using a bulky ANIPE ligand, we achieved a rare example of highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed Markovnikov hydroboration of α-olefins. The chiral secondary alkylboronic ester products were obtained in moderate to good yields and regioselectivities with excellent enantioselectivities.1 Introduction2 Conditions Optimization3 Substrate Scope4 Application5 Mechanistic Discussion6 Conclusions and Future Directions

Multifunctional nanoparticles have been shown earlier to bind certain proteins with high affinity and the binding affinity could be enhanced by molecular imprinting of the target protein. In this work different initiator systems were used and compared during the synthesis of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid-co-N-tert-butylacrylamide) nanoparticles with respect to their future applicability in molecular imprinting of lysozyme. The decomposition of ammonium persulfate initiator was initiated either thermally at 60 °C or by using redox activators, namely tetramethylethylenediamine or sodium bisulfite at low temperatures. Morphology differences in the resulting nanoparticles have been revealed using scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. During polymerization the conversion of each monomer was followed in time. Striking differences were demonstrated in the incorporation rate of acrylic acid between the tetramethylethylenediamine catalyzed initiation and the other systems. This led to a completely different nanoparticle microstructure the consequence of which was the distinctly lower lysozyme binding affinity. On the contrary, the use of sodium bisulfite activation resulted in similar nanoparticle structural homogeneity and protein binding affinity as the thermal initiation.

<p>One facile and efficient strategy for the hydrosilylation of steric 1,1-disubstituted terminal alkenes is demonstrated. Investigations on substrate scope and control experiments revealed the necessity of thioether in promoting this process under a simple iridium catalysis system. This convenient and feasible method is expected to be useful in the synthesis of sulfur-containing organosilicon polymers with different side-chains.</p><p><br></p>
