Research development of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in water in China.
More and more importance has been attached to the problem of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) since 1960s. This article elaborates the recent research progress of EDCs in water and the trends in the near future in China.
Advances of endocrine disrupting chemicals research
It has been suggested that endocrine disrupting chemicals capable of modulating the endocrine system may contribute to adverse health, reproduction, and developmental effects in human and wildlife. This article reviews the evidence, mechanism, testing strategies and several major analysis methods. The screening and testing methods of endocrine disrupting chemicals and the challenge to analysis technology are discussed.
Catalytic removal of tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) ether by PVP-I
Abstract A mild, efficient and rapid protocol the deprotection of alcoholic TBDMS ethers using PVP-1 as catalyst in methanol, the procedure of deprotection of various TBDMS ethers were found to be very convenient, easy work-up, high yielding.
