Solid acid catalysts of graphene oxide and sulfonated graphene oxide nanosheets have been prepared by using the modified Hummers and sulfonation methods. Physical characterization indicated that a number of functional groups such as -COOH, -OH, -O-, and -SO3H were introduced onto the surfaces of the as-synthesized nanosheets. The catalytic performance of the synthesized catalysts was evaluated in the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond and Fischer esterification. The experimental results indicated that the catalytic activity of the sulfonated graphene oxide was superior to that of other solid acid catalysts with the same or higher acid strength and has also exceeded that of H2SO4 with 9.1 times of acid strength than that of the sulfonated graphene oxide. The high reactivity can be ascribed to the formation of hydrophobic cavities through the combination of graphene sheet and the oxygen-containing groups on its surface, which may facilitate the catalyst to anchor with reactants and promote the attack of protons.

Five isoflavonoid glycosides together with the corresponding aglycones have been isolated from the n-BuOH-soluble fraction of a methanol extract of the roots of Eriosema tuberosum. One compound is new and its structure has been established by spectroscopic analyses and chemical methods as 5-O- methylgenistein 7-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1 → 6)-O-β-D-glucopyranoside.

Prunetin (2) and its derivatives were synthesized in order to study the relationship between structure and attracting activity to Aphanomyces euteiches zoospore.All of the derivatives (1, 2, 4 and 6), which had a hydroxyl group at the C-5 position in the isoflavone, showed attracting activity, but the methyl ether derivatives (3, 5, 7 and 8) do not have or have very weak attracting activity.The isoflavones (1, 2, and 4) with strong attracting activity also had estrogenic activity.Keywords - isoflavone; prunetin; genistein; biochanin A; 5-methylgenistein; 5-hydroxy-4',7-dimethoxyisoflavone; Aphanomyces euteiches; zoospore; attracting activity; estrogenic activity
