Alternate Modes

Although the process requires the addition of a phosphate donor, such as glycerol-2-phosphate, it may be a valuable tool for cleaning water contaminated with radionuchdes. An alternative mode of uranium precipitation is driven by sulfate-reducing bacteria such as Desulfovibrio desulfuricans which reduce U(VI) to insoluble U(IV). When combined with bicarbonate extraction of contaminated soil, this may provide an effective treatment for removing uranium from contaminated soil (85).

Formation of ring-fused systems by reactions of this type can be achieved in two ways in one the heterocycle to which ring annulation is to occur acts as the dipolarophile the alternative mode utilizes incorporation of the 1,3-dipole into the heterocyclic ring for reaction with the dipolarophile. Both approaches have been investigated intensively. 

Reaction of thiazoles with DMAD illustrates the overall reaction and the rearrangements which may be encountered. Thiazole or 2-methylthiazole (411 R=H and Me, respectively) in DMF reacted with DMAD to give an initial 1,4-dipolar species (412). Reaction with a second DMAD gave the 1 2 molar adduct, presumably (413). Ring opening to (414), followed by cyclization in the alternative mode, resulted in the formation of (415), the structure of which (R = Me) was established by X-ray analysis (78AHC(23)263) (see also Chapter 4.19). 

FIG. 22-42 Four alternative modes of contimioiis-flow operation with a foam-fractionation column (1) The simple mode is illustrated hy the solid lines. (2) Enriching operation employs the dashed reflux line. (3) In stripping operation, the elevated dashed feed line to the foam replaces the solid feed line to the pool. (4) For combined operation, reflux and elevated feed to the foam are both employed. 

For expanders, the process engineer should be alert for outlet temperatures in the dew point range. For changes in design parameters, such as for proposed alternate modes of operation, the process engineer is best equipped to track this tendency. 

Intramolecular hydrogen-atom abstraction is also an important process for acyclic a,/ -unsaturated ketones. The intermediate diradical then cyclizes to give the enol of a cyclobutyl ketone. Among the by-products of such photolyses are cyclobutanols resulting from alternative modes of cyclization of the diradical intermediate ... 

The formal procedures for analysis of alternative modes of disconnection of fused-ring systems are facilitated by the use of a standard nomenclature for various types of key bonds in such structures. A number of useful terms are illustrated in formulas 111-114, which have been constructed arbitrarily using rings of the most common sizes, 5 and 6. Structures are shown for... 

The alternative mode of testing is to control the strain amplitude. In this case an increase in temperature again causes a drop in modulus but this leads to a... 

Alternating mode Hardware operation that alternates between standby and running, for example, a pump with an installed spare, each of which operates for a comparable amount of time. 

Operating mode The method of operating equipment. See alternating mode, standby mode, rutming mode. 

There is some spectral evidence that acylation of enamines of cyclic ketones with acid chlorides having an a-hydrogen in the presence of triethylamine proceeds via the ketene and subsequent cycloaddition (84). The intermediate cyclobutanone is then opened to give the enamino ketone which is hydrolyzed to the 2-acyl cyclohexanone. In the case of enamines of larger cyclic ketones the alternate mode of the cyclobutanone opening predominates, with the formation of ring-expanded 1,3-diketones upon... 

Phenylbenzofuroxan (22) is formed on pyrolysis or photolysis of 2-azido-3-nitrobiphenyl the alternative mode of cyclization—to 4-nitroearbazole—was not observed. ... 

These first-created enantiophores are rudimentary, but may serve as useful guidelines for a further design of more sophisticated and efficient search queries in consideration of possible alternative modes of binding and conformational changes in the CSP receptor structure. Undoubtedly, this query optimization will soon take advantage of the backgrounds of our new 3D-database project called CHIR-SOURCE. 

Steric factors may also be important in situations where alternative modes of reaction are available. Dall Asta (44) examined the ring-opening polymerization of 3-methyl-m-cyclooctene. By infrared analysis of the product formed, he obtained quantitative information about the occurrence of head-to-head and head-to-tail successions. More than 90% of the links in the polymethyloctenamer were of the head-to-tail type, but the sterically more hindered and, therefore, unfavored head-to-head links were also observed (about 5%). Ofstead (39) investigated the ring-opening polymerization of some 1,5-cyclooctadienes substituted at one of the two... 

In the above formulation the proton is transferred in the step in which the intermediate is formed. Such proton transfer is not essential for base catalysis. An alternate mode of catalysis is one in which the transition state for intermediate formation is a hydrogen-bonded complex, e.g. L, but in which this complex collapses to VI and the catalyst rather than to VIII. For such a formulation the only significant intermediate determining the rates would be VI, which would now be formed by the additional steps... 

The lack of solvent separated pairs raises the question whether some alternative mode of solvation should be considered. The ester group of the penultimate unit of the polymer, or the one preceeding it, could act as a solvating agent. The idea of intramolecular solvation was proposed by several workers in the field 37) and it is supported by the results of nmr studies of polymethyl methacrylate formed under various experimental conditions 38). Hypothetical structures such as those depicted below were proposed 39 h... 

Utilizing an alternate mode of Diels-Alder reactivity, Harman has examined the cycloaddition reactions of 4,5-T -Os(II)pentaammine-3-vinylpyrrole complexes with suitably activated dienophiles <96JA7117>. For instance, cycloaddition of the p-vinylpyrrole complex 58 with 4-cyclopentene-l,3-dione, followed by DDQ oxidation affords 59, possessing the fused-ring indole skeleton of the marine cytotoxic agent, herbindole B. 

The cycloadducts formed from the Diels-Alder reaction of 3-amino-5-chloro-2(17/)-pyrazinones with methyl acrylate in toluene are subject to two alternative modes of ring transformation yielding either methyl 6-cyano-l,2-dihydro-2-oxo-4-pyridinecarboxylates or the corresponding 3-amino-6-cyano-l,2,5,6-tetrahydro-2-oxo-4-pyridinecarboxylates. From the latter compounds, 3-amino-2-pyridones can be generated through subsequent loss of HCN <96 JOC(61)304>. Synthesis of 3-spirocyclopropane-4-pyridone and furo[2,3-c]pyridine derivatives can be achieved by the thermal rearrangement of nitrone and nitrile oxide cycloadducts of bicyclopropylidene <96JCX (61)1665>. 

An alternative mode for dehydrobenzoannulene decomposition was recently reported by Vollhardt et al. [58]. Non-planar hybrid 81, prepared in low yield via cyclodimerization of known triyne 82 [Eq.(3)], reacted explosively at ca. 250°C to give a nearly pure carbon residue. Solvent extraction of the black powder failed to yield soluble materials such as fullerenes however, analysis of the residue by TEM showed formation of bucky onions and bucky tubes [59], in addition... 

In an alternative mode of catalyst action, a disubstituted ketene 66 initially suffers a nucleophilic attack of 64, leading to zwitterionic enolate 71 (Fig. 38). 

Switching the roles of the zinc porphyrin template and N-donor adapter provides an alternative mode for the supramolecular construction of biden-tate ligands (Scheme 32). Complex 26 derived from mixing three equivalents of template 24 with two equivalents of monodentate phosphite ligands 23 furnished a rhodium catalyst which displayed good regioselectivity toward... 

There is little mention in the literature of the use of amide salts in substitution reactions on chlorophosphazene precursors. The anilide anion was shown to be a powerful nucleophile in substitution reactions on various trimer derivatives, but investigations of such reactions with the high polymer have not been reported.22 Where strong nucleophiles (such as amide salts) with low steric requirements are employed, the usual pentacoordinate transition state (Scheme 1), may be a viable reaction intermediate which can undergo alternative modes of decomposition, perhaps involving chain cleavage and/or cross-linking. 

Another stereochemical point of significance is that in some Diels-Alder reactions there is the possibility of two alternative modes of addition, the exo (30) and the endo (31), e.g. with cyclopentadiene (32), and maleic anhydride (33) as dienophile ...
