Dimethyl (E)-2-(N-phenyl-acetamido)-but-2-enedioate.

The title compound, C(14)H(15)NO(5), was obtained from the reaction of acetanilide with dimethyl acetyl-enedicarboxyl-ate in the presence of potassium carbonate. The C=C double bond adopts an E configuration and the geometry around the amide N atom is almost planar rather than pyramidal (mean deviation of 0.0032 Å from the C(3)N plane).

[FTIR spectra-principal component analysis of roots of Polygonum cuspidatum from different areas].

Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. et Zucc. is an important Chinese traditional medicine, and has wide distribution in China.

[Photosynthetic characteristics and coenological survey of Lactuca serriola in its invaded area].

Lactuca serriola, a national class quarantine object, is a new invasive species in the coastal area of Southeast China. The coenological survey showed that because of its big individual, L. serriola could easily form dominant population in its invaded area, and its main accompany species were Conyza canadensis, C.

[FTIR spectra-principal component analysis of phenetic relationships of Huperzia serrata and its closely related species].

Huperzia serrata is an important medicinal plant. This species is rich in inner-specific variation with various closely related species, and their individuals are also small with few identification characters. In the present paper, the method of Fourier transform infrared spectrometer with an OMNI collector was applied to obtaining the infrared spectra of 16 leaf samples including Huperzia serrata and its five closely related species (Huperzia sutchueniana, Phlegmariurus mingchegensis, Lycopodium japonicum, Selaginella doederleinii, Selaginella heterostachys).

[Detrended correspondence analysis of phenetic relationships of bryophytes based on FTIR spectra].

Bryophytes are important high plants. However, the plants of bryophyte are small in size with few identification characters. The identification of plant samples using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer with OMNI collector is simple, convenient, fast and accurate.

[IR-fingerprinting ordination comparison on different organs of three species of isodon].

The plants of the genus Isodon are of important medicinal values, being widely used in the production of the Chinese traditional and herbal drugs. Compared with the other identification methods, the identification of the Chinese traditional and herbal drugs using the fourier-transform infrared spectrometer with OMNI collector is simple and convenient, fast and accurate. Moreover, the extraction or break of the samples are not necessary in the identification using OMNI collector.
