This article presents the advantages of utilizing gossypol and its derivatives as reagents for iron (III) (Fe (III)) ions. A novel spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of Fe (III) using gossypol derivatives in the presence of a universal buffer solution. Optimal conditions have been identified, and the composition and stability constants of the Fe (III) complex with gossypolacetic acid have been determined.

The new MPV-type reagents, B-acetoxydiisopinocampheylborane ($Ipc _2$BOAc) and B-trifluoroacetoxydiisopinocampheylborane $(Ipc _2BO _2CCF _3)$, have been prepared and their reducing characteristics in the reduction of carbonyl compound have been examined in order to find out a new reducing system with unique applicability in organic synthesis. In general, the reactivity of $Ipc _2BO _2CCF _3$ appears to be stronger than that of $Ipc _2$BOAc, presumably due to the acidity increase by the electron-withdrawing fluorine-substituent. Both reagents show an excellent selectivity in 1,2-reduction of $\alpha,\beta$-unsaturatedcarbonyl compounds and in competitive reduction between structurally different carbonyl compounds. In addition, $Ipc _2BO _2CCF _3$ shows interesting features in the stereoreduction of cyclic ketones.

The varation of potential and completeness of reaction in an oxidation-reduction titration of Red$_1$ ($a\;Ox_1+N_1e{\leftrightarrow}b\;Red_1)\;by\;Ox_2\;(C\;Ox_2+n_2e{\leftrightarrow}d\;Red_2)$ is analyzed on the basis of general expressions. It is shown that the reaction deficiency as well as the rate of variation of the potential with titration fraction change in proportion to the $[n_2(a-b)-n_1(c-d)]$ th power of the concentration of the reagents. In particular, at the equivalence point, the expression of the potential contains a concentration dependent term that is proportional to ac-bd. Thus, the equivalence-point potential varies with the concentration of the reagents unless ac=bd is satisfied. It is also shown that the sharpness of the potentiometric titration curve is shown to occur either prior to or after the equivalence point depending upon whether $n_1cn_2b$, the deviation being the same order of magnitude as the relative deficiency at the equivalence point.

A novel copper nanoparticles were synthesized from cupric sulfate using hydrazine as reducing reagents. A series of aromatic nitro compounds were reacted with sodium borohydride in the presence of the copper nanoparticles catalysts to afford the aromatic amino compounds in high yields. Additionally, the catalysts system can be recycled and maintain a high catalytic effect in the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds.

Various terphenyl and quaterphenyl derivatives were prepared by the Ni-NHC catalyzed cross coupling of the corresponding biphenyl- and terphenyl-sulfonates with arylmagnesium bromides. The reactions proceeded rapidly via a nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the alkoxysulfonyl moieties by the aryl nucleophiles to afford high yields within just 1.5 h at room temperature in spite of the low reactivity of the sulfur electrophiles.

The catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) encoded by the Pseudomonas putida xylE gene was over-produced in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The activity of the C23O required the reduced form of the Fe(II) ion since the enzyme was highly susceptible to inactivation with hydrogen perocide but reactivated with the addition of ferrous sulfate in conjunction with ascorbic acid. The C23O activity was abolished by treatment with the chemical reagents, diethyl-pyrocarbonate (DEPC), tetranitromethane (TNM), and 1-cyclohexy1-3-(2-morpholinoethyl) car-bodiimidemetho-ρ-toluenesulfontate (CMC), which are modifying reagents of histidine, tyrosine and glutamic acid, respectively. These results suggest that histidine, tyrosine and glutamic acid residues may be good active sites for the enzyme activity. These amino acid residues are conserved residues may be good active sites for the enzyme activity. These amino acid residues are conserved residues among several extradion dioxygenases and have the chemical potential to serveas ligands for Fe(II) coordination. Analysis of random point mutants in the C23O gene derived by PCR technique revealed that the mutated positions of two mutants, T179S and S211R, were located near the conserved His165 amd Hos217 residues, respectively. This finding indicates that these two positions, along with the conserved histidine residues, are specially effective regions for the enzyme function.

Neopentyl arenesulfonates reacted with primary alkylmagnesium halides in the presence of $(PPh_3)_2NiCl_2$ to produce the corresponding alkylarenes. The efficiency of this coupling reaction considerably depends on the nature of catalyst and solvent. Highest yield was obtained by using three equivalents of Grignard reagent to a mixture of $(PPh_3)_2NiCl_2$ and arenesulfonate in refluxing $Et_2O$. This reaction represents a novel method allowing the efficient and creative substitution of sulfur-containing groups in aromatic compounds. It also shows that the alkyloxysulfonyl group might be a suitable alternative to halides and triflate in some circumstances.

Extraction/separation of cobalt by supported liquid membrane has been reviewed. The review discusses various directions associated with the supported liquid membrane process, such as the kind of supported liquid membrane, the principle of supported liquid membrane, transport mechanism involved, and the advantages and disadvantages of the supported liquid. Finally, extraction and separation of cobalt from other metals using extractant through supported liquid membrane have been reviewed. Separation of cobalt using various reagents and cobalt recovery from scrap using commercial extractant can be a potential perspective from the application of supported liquid membrane application.

New unsymmetrical trans-stilbenes have been prepared by the sequential coupling reactions of bromobenzenesulfonate with formylarylboronic acids, benzylphosphonates and arylmagnesium bromides and characterized. The nickel-catalyzed reactions of stilbenesulfonates with aryl Grignard reagents produced the corresponding stilbenes via the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the neopentyloxysulfonyl group by aryl nucleophiles. The great chemoselectivity of the alkyloxysulfonyl group allows the stepwise construction of unsymmetrical trans-stilbenes possessing terphenyl moieties. This procedure appears to be a promising and conceptually straightforward route for the parallel synthesis of various unsymmetrical stilbenes as well as other highly conjugated hydrocarbons.

Sample preparation including dehydration and drying of samples is the most intricate part of scanning electron microscopy. Most current sample preparation protocols use critical-point drying with liquid carbon dioxide. Very few studies have reported samples that were dried using chemical reagents. In this study, we used hexamethyldisilazane, a chemical drying reagent, to prepare plant samples. As glandular trichomes are among the most fragile and sensitive surface structures found on plants, we used Millingtonia hortensis leaf samples as our study materials because they contain abundant glandular trichomes. The results obtained using this new method are identical to those produced via critical-point drying.
