Tandem conjugate addition-ring closure involving reaction of the lithium enolate arising from conjugate addition of lithiated (E)-but-2- enyldiphenylphosphine oxide to 2-methyl-cyclopent-2-enone with two moles of t-butylthioacrylate generates a hydrindanol, and, in the presence of copper(I), a lactone derived from the hydrindanol. β-Sulfonylacrylate phenyl and t-butyl thioesters, β-chlorovinyl, β- sulfonyl- and β-sulfinyl-vinyl ketones react with the foregoing enolate, and with the enolate generated through conjugate addition of a methylcuprate to 2-methylcyclohexenone to give unsaturated 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds. The β-chlorovinyl ketones in particular react rapidly and in high yield. 2-Methylcyclohexenone has thereby been converted into a cis-dimethyl octalone; the conversion illustrates the effectiveness of β-chlorovinyl methyl ketone in the Robinson annelation. Reactions of the lithium enolate and titanium enol of 2,6- dimethylcyclohexanone with the β-substituted enones to give the corresponding unsaturated 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds and other products are also recorded.

The mechanical properties of three titanium alloys (Ti-7Mo-3Al, Ti-7Mo- 3Cu and Ti-7Mo-3Ta) were evaluated as function of: 1) Solutionizing in the beta field and aging, 2) Thermal Mechanical Processing in the beta field and aging, 3) Solutionizing in the alpha + beta field and aging. The samples were isothermally aged in the temperature range 300° to 700*C for 4 to 24 hours, followed by a water quench. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray method were used to identify the phase formed. All three alloys solutionized at 1050°C (beta field) transformed to martensitic alpha (alpha prime) upon being water quenched. Despite this heavily strained alpha prime, which is characterized by microtwins the tensile strength of the as-quenched alloys is relatively low and the elongation is as high as 30%.

Abstract. Chalcones are a type of flavonoids characterized by an α-β unsaturated structural element which may react with thiol groups to activate pathways such as the Nrf2-Keap-1 system. Naringenin chalcone is abundant in the diet but little is known about its bioavailability. In this work, the bioavailability of naringenin chalcone from tomatoes was investigated in a group of healthy men (n=10). After ingestion of 600 grams of tomatoes providing a single dose of 17.3 mg naringenin chalcone, 0.2 mg of naringenin, and 195 mg naringin plasma levels of free and conjugated naringenin and naringenin chalcone (glucuronide and sulfate) were analyzed by UHPLC-QTOF-MS at 0.5, 1, 3, and 6 h post-consumption. Plasma levels of conjugated naringenin increased to about 12 nmol/L with a maximum at about 3 h. Concentrations of free naringenin hardly elevated above baseline. Plasma levels of free and conjugated naringenin chalcone significantly increased. A maximum of the conjugated chalcone was reached at about 3 h after ingestion with an average concentration of about 0.5 nmol/L. No free chalcone was detectable at baseline but low amounts of the unconjugated compound could be detected with an average maximum of 0.8 nmol/L at about 1 h after ingestion. The data demonstrate that naringenin chalcone is bioavailable in humans from cherry tomatoes as a dietary source. However, availability is poor and intramolecular cyclisation as well as extended metabolism likely contribute to the inactivation of the reactive alpha-beta unsaturated reactive center as well as the excretion of the biologically active molecule, respectively.
