Abstract

The use of Pulsed Gradient Spin Echo (PGSE) NMR to investigate flow in porous media is well established. Using two pairs of position-encoding pulses in the PGSE experiment gives the possibility of examining velocity fluctuations, by comparing displacements, during the two encoding intervals. This method may be used to measure the asymptotic dispersion coefficient as well as the Velocity Auto-Correlation Function (VACF) in porous media flow. Some examples of two-dimensional maps of density and velocity distributions are accompanied by the first attempt to perform localized measurements of flow dispersion in porous media.

Total diastereofacial selective iodofunctionalization of terpene derivatives based on Ipy2BF4.

Acetonides 1, easily obtained from simple terpenes, react with bispyridine iodonium (I) tetrafluoroborate (Ipy(2)BF(4)) and tetrafluoroboric acid in the presence of nucleophiles to give the corresponding adducts 2 with complete regio and diastereofacial control. Acetonides 1 containing a properly located phenyl or benzyloxy group easily undergo iodocyclization to furnish compounds 3 and 4.

Increase in signal-to-noise ratio of > 10,000 times in liquid-state NMR.

A method for obtaining strongly polarized nuclear spins in solution has been developed. The method uses low temperature, high magnetic field, and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) to strongly polarize nuclear spins in the solid state. The solid sample is subsequently dissolved rapidly in a suitable solvent to create a solution of molecules with hyperpolarized nuclear spins. The polarization is performed in a DNP polarizer, consisting of a super-conducting magnet (3.35 T) and a liquid-helium cooled sample space. The sample is irradiated with microwaves at approximately 94 GHz. Subsequent to polarization, the sample is dissolved by an injection system inside the DNP magnet. The dissolution process effectively preserves the nuclear polarization. The resulting hyperpolarized liquid sample can be transferred to a high-resolution NMR spectrometer, where an enhanced NMR signal can be acquired, or it may be used as an agent for in vivo imaging or spectroscopy. In this article we describe the use of the method on aqueous solutions of [13C]urea. Polarizations of 37% for 13C and 7.8% for 15N, respectively, were obtained after the dissolution. These polarizations correspond to an enhancement of 44,400 for 13C and 23,500 for 15N, respectively, compared with thermal equilibrium at 9.4 T and room temperature. The method can be used generally for signal enhancement and reduction of measurement time in liquid-state NMR and opens up for a variety of in vitro and in vivo applications of DNP-enhanced NMR.

Calyciphyllines A and B, two novel hexacyclic alkaloids from Daphniphyllum calycinum.

[structure: see text] Two types of Daphniphyllum alkaloids with unprecedented fused-hexacyclic ring systems, calyciphyllines A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from the leaves of Daphniphyllum calycinum (Daphniphyllaceae), and the structures and relative stereochemistry were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data.
