A series of N-alkenyl pyrrolidine-2-thiones were synthesized by the reaction between pyrrolidine-2-thione and various aldehydes such as n-propanal, isopropanal, n-butanal, n-hexanal, n-octanal and phenylacetaldehyde in 32-86% yields using microwave irradiation technique. Only one structural E isomers were predominantly formed within 15 minutes in chlorobenezene?/p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate.

The exterior structures of natural organisms have continuously evolved by controlling wettability, such as the Namib Desert beetle, whose back has hydrophilic/hydrophobic contrast for water harvesting by mist condensation in dry desert environments, and some plant leaves that have hierarchical micro/nanostructures to collect or repel liquid water. In this work, we have provided a method for wettability contrast on metals by both nano-flake or needle patterns and tuning of the surface energy. Metals including steel alloys and aluminum were provided with hierarchical micro/nanostructures of metaloxides induced by fluorination and a subsequent catalytic reaction of fluorine ions on metal surfaces in water with various ranges from room to boiling temperature of water. Then, a hydrophobic material was deposited on the structured surfaces, rendering superhydrophobicity. Plasma oxidization induces the formation of superhydrophilic surfaces on selective regions surrounded by superhydrophobic surfaces. We show that wettability contrast surfaces align liquid water within patterned hydrophilic regions during the condensation process. Furthermore, this method could have a greater potential to align other liquids or living cells.

The condensation of cyclic ketone with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of ammonium acetate under ethanol media affords the corresponding 5-aryl-7,8,13,14-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,i]phenanthridine with excellent yield. This mild and efficient procedure with high yield is also applied to the synthesis of 2,4-diaryl-6,7-benzo-3-azabicyclo- [3.3.1]nonan-9-ones and ${\alpha},{\alpha}{$’-bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones.

The effects of reaction temperature and precursor concentration on the microstructure and magnetic properties of ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles synthesized as final products of iron acetylacetonate in chemical vapor condensation (CVC) were investigated. Pure ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ phase was obtained at temperature above $900^{\circ}C$ and crystallite size of ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles decreased with lowering precursor concentration. Also, the coercivity decreases with decreasing crystallite size of nanopowder. The lowest coercivity was 7.8 Oe, which was obtained from the ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ nanopowder sample synthesized at precursor concentration of 0.3M. Then, the crystallite size of ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles was 8.8 nm.

New bisaryl corands (crown ethers) bearing 1,2-dibenzyl- and 1,2-dibenzoylbenzene subunits have been synthesized: The reaction of 1,2-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)benzene in base with mono-tetrahydropyranyl oligoethylene glycol tosylate, deprotection of the bis-condensation product to give a corresponding diol, tosylation of the free hydroxyls of the diol, and condensation of the ditosylate in base with 1,2-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)benzene afforded a new type of bisaryl corand(Ⅰ) of 1,2-dibenzyl-benazene system. Oxidation of the benzylic positions of the corands (Ⅰ) furnished novel aromatic corands(Ⅱ) containing partly carbonyl functions.

The role of hydrophobic residues on protein folding reaction was studied by folding kinetics measurements in conjunction with protein engineering. The HubWA, which was derived from human ubiquitin by mutating the residues at 45 (Phe to Trp) and 26 (Val to Ala), was used as a mutational background. Fourteen hydrophobic residues were mutated to alanine. Among fourteen variants generated, only four variant proteins (V5A, I13A, V17A, and I36A) were suitable for folding study. The folding kinetics of these variants was measured by stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy. The folding kinetics of HubWA and V17A was observed to follow a three-state on-pathway mechanism. On the other hand, folding kinetics of V5A, I13A, and I36A was observed to follow a two-state mechanism. Based on these observations, transition of protein folding reaction from collision-diffusion mechanism to nucleation-condensation mechanism was discussed.

Ordered $L1_0$ to FePt nanoparticles are strong candidates for high density magnetic data storage media because the $L1_0$ phase FePt has a very high magnetocrystalline anisotropy $(K_u{\sim}6.6-10{\times}10^7erg/cm^3)$, high coercivity and chemical stability. In this study, the ordered $L1_0$ FePt nanoparticles were successfully fabricated by chemical vapor condensation process without a post-annealing process which causes severe particle growth and agglomeration. The $Fe_{50}Pt_{50}$ nanopowder was obtained when the mixing ratio of Fe(acac) and Pt(arac) was 2.5 : 1. And the synthesized FePt nanoparticles were very fine and spherical shape with a narrow size distribution. The average particle size of the powder tended to increase from 5 nm to 10 nm with increasing reaction temperature from $800^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$. Characterisitcs of FePt nanopowder were investigated in terms of process parameters and microstructures.

Various types of MOFs (metal-organic frameworks) were prepared via hydrothermal and post-grafting methods and applied as catalysts for the synthesis of jasminaldehyde, one of the representative perfume intermediates, by Aldol condensation of benzaldehyde with heptanal. Although both acid and base sites could catalyze the reaction, the catalytic performance was strongly dependent on the physical properties as well as the nature of functionalization on MOFs. While the use of sulfonated MOF catalysts led to decrease of jasminaldehyde selectivity regardless of MOFs used, the selectivity change was found to rely on the MOF types in the case of the amine-functionalization. Among the catalysts tested, MIL-101 shows the best catalytic performance, which may suggest that MIL-101 has suitable acid properties to promote the Aldol condensation and the large pore of MIL-101 is also advantageous to alleviate the diffusion problem of bulky products.

The synthesis of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT), whose application is being expanded very rapidly to new apparel and carpet materials, was investigated by melt condensation polymerization using 1,3-propanediol (PDO) and terephthalic acid (TPA). No catalyst was used in the 1st step reaction (esterification), but tetrabutyl titanate(TBT) was used as a polyesterification catalyst ranging from 25 to 75 ppm based on the weight of TPA used in the 2nd step reaction (polyesterification). The molar ratio of PDO to TPA was set as 2.2:1. The effect of reaction conditions on the color and intrinsic viscosity of the final product was investigated. (omitted)

3,4-Dimethoxyphenethyl amine(1) and 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde were converted to compounds(4) through sucessive condensation and reduction reaction. Compound(4) was treated with methylthioacetyl chloride to give compound(5) then m-chloroperbenzoic acid(m-CPBA) treatment of compound(5) produced S-oxide(6). To obtain isoquinoline derivative(7),(8), compound(6) were treated with p-TsOH. Xylopinine(9) and it's derivatives(10) were produced by Bischler-Napieralski reaction.
