Experimental results are reported for the CuCl2-mediated asymmetric oxidative coupling of 2-naphthols in the presence of [-]α-methylbenzylamine to optically active （S）-（-）-1,1-bi-2-naphthol. Under anhydrous conditions and with a 3∶1 molarity ratio of α-methylbenzylamine to 2-naphthol, a fair enantioselection has been observed（up to 80.6% ee）.
Nocistatin was synthesized by the solid-phase peptide synthesis method. Its effects on rat systemic arterial pressure; rat hindquarter vascular bed resistance; tension of rabbit pectoral, abdominal, femoral aorta muscle strips without endothelium; and nociceptin induced decreases of rat systemic arterial pressure were determined. The results showed that nocistatin can increase the systemic arterial pressure, increase the hindquarter vascular bed resistance and induce the contraction significantly of abdominal, femoral aorta muscle strips without endotheiium; it has no significant effect on tension of pectoral aorta muscle strips, it cannot antagonize significantly the decrease of rat systemic arterial pressure induced by nociceptin. These results suggest that nocistatin has some important effects on blood vessel activities.

A new polymer supported BINOL ligand(4) was prepared by means of anchoring binaphthyl molecule(3) to aminoethylated polystyrene through a procedure of solid phase peptide synthesis. The key compound ( R ) 2,2 dihydroxy 1,1 binaphthyl 3 carboxylic acid(3) was prepared from R BINOL by protection of hydroxyl groups and then reaction with n butyllithium followed by carboxylation. By controlling the amount of BuLi, (3) was obtained in 55% overall yield. Ligand (4) was prepared through condensation of (3) with aminoethylated polystyrene in the presence of DCC and HOBt and found to have a loading of 0.40 mmol/g (by mass increase). The linkage between binaphthyl and aminoethylated polystyrene was indicated by a new absorption in IR spectrum of (4) at 1 644 cm -1 in comparing with what of the polystyrene. By mixing (4) with Ti(OiPr) 4 in dry CH 2Cl 2, a complex was easily prepared and this complex was found to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst in asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. Optical active alcohols with up to 82% ee were obtained from the asymmtric addition with high chemical yields when 20% of (4) was used. And when benzaldehyde was used as substrate, we found that enantioselectivity increased obviously when the amount of (4) used in reaction increased from 5% to 20%;decreased the load of BINOL in ligand (4) reduced the ee of addition product; and R form of products was resulted.

A series of aromatic cyanohydrins and their O silyl ethers have been synthesized by trimethylsilylcyanation of aromatic aldehydes using a catalyst generated in situ from optically active R (+) 1,1 2 bisnaphthol with n butyl lithium. Mandelonitrile was prepared in an isolated yield 70% with more than \{e.e.\} =60%. The effect of solvents and the amount of catalyst on enantioselectivity was also investigated.
