Agency bonds

This chapter describes the German mortgage-bonds or Pfandbriefe market, its institutions, and working practice. We also consider other aspects of the European covered bond market. The instruments themselves are essentially plain vanilla bonds, and while they can be analysed in similar ways to US agency bonds and mortgage-backed bonds, there are also key differences between them, which we highlight in this chapter. Mortgage-backed securities are described in Chapter 11. 

Clearly, investors that seek to invest in bonds that sell in high denominations, such as certain mortgage-backed and agency bonds, or bonds that are too "complex" for individual investors, including convertibles, sovereigns, junk, and derivative securities, would be better off investing in these securities through mutual funds. 

In 1972, the Agency for International Development (AID) cooperated with the Sulphur Institute to prepare a program to evaluate the feasibihty of using the sulfur surface-bond technique in developing countries. Afterwards AID awarded a contract to Southwest Research Institute to constmct houses in South America and Africa using this technique. Under the contract, about 60 houses have been completed (62).

Pure Ethanol. Undenatured ethanol can be bought on either a tax-free or tax-paid basis. Approved educational, scientific or medical organizations and pubHc agencies can buy tax-free alcohol. Use and withdrawal permits are required, as are a bond and detailed records. Resale of tax-free ethanol is prohibited. Approved industrial uses for pure tax-paid ethanol include pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, flavoring extracts, and foods.

The stereoelectronic features produce actions at a distance by the agency of the recognition forces they create. These forces are the hydrophobic effect, and the capacity to enter ionic bonds, van der Waals interactions and H-bonding interactions. The most convenient and informative assessment of such recognition forces is afforded by computahon in the form of MIFs, e.g. lipophilicity fields, hydrophobicity fields, molecular electrostatic potentials (MEPs) and H-bonding fields (see Chapter 6) [7-10].

The hetero radicals that have already been referred to—(9, p. 301), (10, p. 302), (14, p. 302) and (15, p. 302)—owe their relative stability [with respect to their dimers—apart from l,l-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (10)] to a variety of factors (a) the relative weakness of N—N, S—S and 0—0 bonds, (b) the delocalisation through the agency of aromatic nuclei, and (c) steric inhibition of access to the atom with the unpaired electron, or to an aryl p-position, cf. (50). The latter factor bulks large (in addition to the weakness of O—O bonds) in the great stability of (15, cf. p. 302) and all three factors operate to stabilise (51), which is wholly dissociated in solution ... 

Since the main chain of NR contains unsaturation (residual double bonds) it, along with other unsaturated rubbers, is susceptible to attack by oxygen, ozone and light, and compounds therefore require protection against these agencies. 

In comparison to the N- and S-counterparts, alkoxides possess lower nucleophilicity. Therefore, the reductive elimination process to form the C—O bond is much slower than those to form C— N and C—S bonds [103]. Palucki, Wolfe and Buchwald developed the first intramolecular Pd-catalyzed synthesis of cyclic aryl ethers from o-haloaryl-substituted alcohols [104]. For example, 3-(2-bromophenyl)-2-methyl-2-butanol (91) was converted to 2,2-dimethylchroman (92) under the agency of catalytic Pd(OAc)2 in the presence (S)-(-)-2,2 -bis(di-p-tolylphosphino)-l,r-binaphthyl (Tol-BINAP) as the ligand and K2CO3 as the base. The method worked well for the tertiary alcohols, moderately weE for cychc secondary alcohols, but not for acyclic secondary alcohols.
