The reaction between methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4,6-di-O-mesyl-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranoside (1b) and potassium superoxide resulted in hydrolysis, and gave methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranoside (1) as a sole product. When the reaction was performed with a vicinal dimesylate, methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-di-O-mesyl-${\alpha}$-D-altropyranoside (4b), again the hydrolysis product, methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-${\alpha}$-D-altropyranoside (4) was obtained. However, the reaction of potassium superoxide with another vicinal dimesylate, methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-di-O-mesyl-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranoside (3b), nucleophilic displacement took place to afford methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-${\alpha}$-D-altropyranoside (4). Apparently different results from two trans vicinal dimesylates, 3b and 4b are explained by the transient formation of epoxides, methyl 2,3-anhydro-4,6-O-benzylidene-${\alpha}$-D-allopyranoside (8) and methyl 2,3-anhydro-4,6-O-benzylidene-${\alpha}$-D-mannopyranoside (9) by $KO_2$. The reaction between the allo epoxide 8 and $KO_2$ gave altro 4. The manno epoxide 9 also afforded altro 4 as the major product. Facile epoxide formation by the reaction of a vicinal dimesylate and superoxide was also observed with 3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-5,6-di-O-mesyl-${\alpha}$-D-glucofuranose: 5,6-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-${\beta}$-L-idofuranose was obtained.

In order to synthesize the partially stabilized $\alpha$-Sialon, A1N and Y2O3 were added to synthesized $\alpha$-Si3N4. The phase composition, mechanical properties, micro structure, etc, of the synthesized $\alpha$-Sialon were investigated. Partially stabilized $\alpha$-Sialon ceramics could be synthesized from the composition which was a little deviated from x=0.4, x=0.6 composition along the Si3N4.0.1Y2O3:0.9AlN tie line at 1750-180$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs in N2 atmosphere. It is assumed that A1N is more closely related than Y2O3 to the formation of $\alpha$-Sialon, and that A1N is more easily dissolved into $\alpha$-structure than into $\beta$-structure. In Ya2O3-rich phase mechanical properties were observed to be poor because of formation of mellilite, grain growth, and thermal decomposition of $\alpha$-Sialon. The maximum values of M.O.R, KIC and hardness are 723 MPa, 4.5MN/㎥/2 and 19.3 GPa, respectively, and they were observed for the $\alpha$-Sialon ceramics sintered at 178$0^{\circ}C$.

A fine $\alpha$-Al2O3 powder was prepared by sol-gel process for membrane application. And it was carried out by adding 1.5wt% $\alpha$-Al2O3 powders(mean size : 87 nm) as seeds to the prepared sols and by controlling the heating schedule (the heating rate and the soaking time) to prevent the microstructural change, which occured during $\theta$-to $\alpha$Al2O3 phase transformation. The seeded $\alpha$-Al2O3 particles acted as the heterogeneous nucleation sites for the $\alpha$-Al2O3 nucleation during the transformation of $\theta$- to $\alpha$-Al2O3 and resulted in increasing the driving force of phase transformation to activate the formation of $\alpha$-Al2O3 phase at 82$0^{\circ}C$. By $\alpha$-Al2O3 seeding and controlling of heating condition the phase transformation of $\theta$- to $\alpha$-Al2O3 was accomplished at low temperature and the grain growth process was depressed. Therefore, the unsupported membrane could be fabricated in $\alpha$-Al2O3 . The average diameter of pores in the fabricated membrane was 7 nm and the porosity was 47%.

It's necessary to develope a facile methodology forming ${\alpha}$-altropyranosidic linkage, for the synthesis of trisaccharide repeating unit of O-antigenic part of Campylobacter jejuni gram negative bacteria. In this paper, the effective synthesis of disaccharides containing ${\alpha}$-altropyranosidic linkage by 1,2-trans glycosidation of allal derivatives was discussed. 4, 6-O-Benzylidene-3-O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-D-allal was treated with DMDO (3,3-dimethy ldioxirane) to yield 1,2-anhydro-4, 6-O-benzylidene-3-O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-${\beta}$-D-altropyranose. The reaction of 1,2-anhydro-4, 6-O-benzylidene-3-O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-${\beta}$-D-altropyranose with allyl alcohol gave allyl 4, 6-O-benzylidene-3-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-${\alpha}$-D-altropyranoside quantitatively, and reactions with glucals were also successful to prepare ${\alpha}$-altropyranosodic disaccharides. It is convinced that 1,2-trans glycosidation of allal derivatives should be an attractive choice for preparing oligosaccharides containing ${\alpha}$-altropyranosidic linkages.

A trisaccharide, the O-antigenic repeating unit of C. jejuni serotype O:23 and O:36, was synthesized as a 2 -azidoethyl glycoside by block addition of perbenzylated thiogalactoside donors to $\alpha$-altroHepp-(1$\rightarrow$3)-GlcNPhth disaccharide acceptor in presence of IDCP promoter. The $\alpha$-linked altroheptopyranoside moiety in the glycosyl acceptor was effectively prepared by Swern oxidation of $\alpha$-mannohepp-(1$\rightarrow$3)-GlcNPhth disaccharide followed by mild reduction with1 $NaCNBH_3$.

The $\alpha$-FeOOH powders were prepared by allkaline and acidic method on the small scale plant from the waste pickling liquor of iron. $\alpha$-FeOOH, $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$, $Fe_3O_4$ and ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ powders were examined by TEM, SEM, TG-DTA, X-ray diffraction, VSM and chemical analysis. The results obtained from the experiment could be summerized as follows : the reaction time for the preparation of $\alpha$-FeOOH was observed to be smaller in the case of alkaline method and the products was acicular with the size of about $0.5\mu\textrm{m}$. The color of $\alpha-FeOOH and $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$was lovely yellow and red, respectively. The magnetic properties of $Fe_3O_4$ obtained by the reduction of $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$in the $H_2$ atomosphere at $370^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour showed 367(Oe) and 82.7(emu/g).

Ferric oxide (${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$, hematite) is an n-type semiconductor; due to its narrow band gap ($E_g=2.1eV$), it is a highly attractive and desirable material for use in solar hydrogenation by water oxidation. However, the actual conversion efficiency achieved with $Fe_2O_3$ is considerably lower than the theoretical values because the considerably short diffusion length (2-4 nm) of holes in $Fe_2O_3$ induces excessive charge recombination and low absorption. This is a significant hurdle that must be overcome in order to obtain high solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency. In consideration of this, it is thought that elemental doping, which may make it possible to enhance the charge transfer at the interface, will have a marked effect in terms of improving the photoactivities of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ photoanodes. Herein, we report on the synthesis by pulsed electrodeposition of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$-based anodes; we also report on the resulting photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties. We attempted Ti-doping to enhance the PEC properties of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ anodes. It is revealed that the photocurrent density of a bare ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ anode can be dramatically changed by controlling the condition of the electrodeposition and the concentration of $TiCl_3$. Under optimum conditions, a modified ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ anode exhibits a maximum photocurrent density of $0.4mA/cm^2$ at 1.23 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) under 1.5 G simulated sunlight illumination; this photocurrent density value is about 3 times greater than that of unmodified ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ anodes.
