摘要:
Provided herein are water-soluble, functionalized fullerenes, and processes for producing water-soluble, functionalized fullerenes. The process includes sulfonating a fullerene in an acidic solution comprising sulfuric acid to produce a sulfonated fullerene, isolating the sulfonated fullerene from the acidic solution without neutralizing the acidic solution, reacting the sulfonated fullerene with hydrogen peroxide to form a reaction product, and isolating a polyhydroxylated fullerene from the reaction product produced from reacting the sulfonated fullerene with the hydrogen peroxide. The process of producing water-soluble fullerenes further includes functionalizing a polyhydroxylated fullerene with one or more pendant functional groups by reacting the polyhydroxylated fullerene with one or more functional group precursors.
摘要:
Certain bile acids, including novel bile acids, and derivatives thereof can be used to inhibit the germination of C. difficile spores and/or the growth of C. difficile cells. The methods and compositions of the invention are useful for preventing and treating C. difficile-associated diseases, including but not limited to C. difficile colitis.
摘要:
Methods for synthesizing 1,4-(ketone or ketal) bridged and/or 5,14-(ketone or ketal) bridged hydropentacenes useful as soluble precursors for formation of pentacene or substituted (e.g., halo) pentacenes; precursor compounds formed thereby; methods for preparing form the precursor compounds conductive thin films comprising pentacene or a substituted pentacene, and articles including such thin films are described. Also described are tetracene and anthracene derivatives which should also be useful in the formation of conductive thin films, among other uses.
摘要:
Substituted pentacene compounds comprise at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of electron-donating substituents, halogen substituents, and combinations thereof; the substituent(s) each being bonded to a carbon atom of a terminal ring of pentacene, and being the only substituent(s); with the proviso that when the compound has only two substituents, both of which are methyl or alkoxy, and one substituent is bonded to the number 2 carbon atom, the other substituent, if methyl, is bonded to the number 1, 3, 4, 8, or 11 carbon atom and, if alkoxy, is bonded to the number 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, or 11 carbon atom; and with the further proviso that when the compound has only four substituents, all of which are alkoxy, the substituents are bonded to the numbers 2, 3, 9, and 10 carbon atoms.
摘要:
Process for pharmaceutical grade high purity hyodeoxycholic acid preparation starting from swine bile, consisting in the treatment of swine bile with sodium hydroxide, isolation of hyodeoxycholic, chenodeoxycholic and hyocholic acids by precipiation of their zinc salts and subsequent selective precipitation of the hyodeoxycholic acid magnesium salt, from which the acid is freed by acidification and then crystallized.
摘要:
The present invention is directed toward the preparation of novel polysubstituted fullerenes. The method of forming polysubstituted fullerenes comprises contacting a fullerene with an electrophilic reagent selected from the group consisting of nitronium ion and organic peracid, provided that when the electrophilic reagent is nitronium ion, the fullerene is subsequently contacted with a nucleophilic reagent.
摘要:
The invention comprises compounds having the following formulae wherein R is a hydrogen atom or an alkanoyl group having not more than 8 carbon atoms. These compounds are obtained by subjecting a 17-oxo compound having the formula to a Grignard reaction to obtain the 17a -methyl - 17b - hydroxy compound which on dehydration yields the D 16-17-methyl compound. Dehydration may be effected with phosphorus oxychloride. Specification 873,019 also is referred to.
