Objective:
To study the preparation of anemonin from Ranunculus japonicus Thunb.
Methods:
The best conditions of preparation for anemonin were optimized with monosyllabic experiments, such as using the purity of anemonin as a index for best selection of dying tempreture and the extraction ratio as another index for the concentration of NaCl and extracting times. The structures were clucidated on the basis of UV, IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, 1H-1H COSY, HMQC and HMQC spectra and chemical reactions and the purity is measured by HPLC.
Results:
The best conditions for the extraction techniques of anemonin were 15% NaCl, four extracting times, 60 degrees C (0.08 Mpa) for drying. The purity of anemonin was 99% and yield rate was 0. 72 per thousand. Its quality was controlled.
Conclusion:
The preparation techniques are feasible and convenient.

Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...
