When a bulky bis(adamantylethoxy) imidazolium salt was treated with potassium hydride the reaction did not afford the expected potassium-carbene.18 Instead, elimination of one alcohol arm produced a mono (adamantylethoxy) imidazole (9) (Scheme 5). Treatment of this with isopropyl iodide resulted in the alcohol imidazolium iodide salt, which undergoes deprotonation with lithium hexamethyldisilazide to afford the lithium alkoxy carbene (10) which was characterised by mass spectrometry and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The C2 carbon in 10 resonates at 186.3 ppm in the 13C NMR spectrum, which is a significantly lower frequency than the similar ligand in 7 which has lithium iodide incorporated into the structure. 

Bernstein et al. have used IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to study the products formed from photochemical transformation of naphthalene, anthracene, chrysene, phenanthrene, pyrene, tetracene, pentacene, perylene, benzo(e)pyrene, benzo(ghi)perylene, and coronene in water ices using ultraviolet radiation under astrophysical conditions [27]. The results of their investigation have revealed that peripheral carbon atoms can be oxidized to produce aromatic alcohols, ketones, ethers (when bay region is present,... 

UV and fluorescent spectroscopy can be employed down to 190 nm because there is no solvent interference. Mass spectrometry is easy because the water provides good ionization. Flame ionization detection (FID) is of particular interest because potentially it offers a sensitive and universal detector. A number of different interfaces have been used, including heated capillaries, which have been examined by Miller and Hawthorne [62], Ingelse et al. [63], and others [64, 65], who separated a range of analytes including alcohols, amino acids, and phenols. An alternative method employing a cold nebuliza-tion of the eluent has been introduced by Bone et al. [66]. They were able to detect both aliphatic and aromatic alcohols, polymers, carbohydrates, parabens, and steroids. 

A variety of compounds such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, furans, aldehydes, ketones, and acid compounds are formed as secondary oxidation products and are responsible for the undesirable flavors and odors associated with rancid fat. The off-flavor properties of these compounds depend on the structure, concentration, threshold values, and the tested system. Aliphatic aldehydes are the most important volatile breakdown products because they are major contributors to unpleasant odors and flavors in food products. The peroxidation pathway from linoleic acid to various volatiles is determined in several researchs, - by using various techniques (Gas chromatography mass spectrometry, GC-MS, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy, ESR), identified the volatile aldehydes that are produced during the oxidation of sunflower oil. In both cases, hexanal was the major aldehyde product of hydroperoxide decomposition, whereas pentanal, 2-heptenal, 2-octenal, 2-nonenal, 2,4-nonadienal, and 2,4-decadienal were also identified. 

It was discovered recently [62] that, when the polymerization of lactide was organocatalyzed with an NHC in the absence of an alcohol, termination would occur via an attack of the terminal alkoxide on the initiating end of the polymer chain, thus reforming the NHC catalyst and generating macrocyclic polyesters (Scheme 31.14, Path B). The cyclic structures of these macromolecules were confirmed with H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and comparisons of... 

The second step is the analysis of the gas mixture by any available traditional or modern instrumental techniques. Carbon monoxide and dioxide, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide as well as saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons and their oxidation products (such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids) are determined mainly by gas chromatography with the occasional contribution of infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. 

We synthesized receptors 26 and 27 which consists of both a uranyl containing salen part for the complexation of the anion and a crown ether or a calix[4]arene tetraester based ionophore for the complexation of the cation [ref 33]. They have been prepared from the corresponding disaldehydes, cw-l,2-diaminocyclohexane and U02(0Ac)2 2H20 in refluxing alcohol. The complexation of the bifunctional receptors with cations and with anions was investigated by NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, FAB-spectrometry, and liquid-liquid extraction experiments.
