This reaction, while rare, has been observed for various N-tert-huiyl amides in 98% sulfuric acid, where the mechanism was the AalI mechanism, and for certain amides containing an azo group, where a BalI mechanism was postulated. Of the two first-order acyl cleavage mechanisms, only the AacI has been observed, in concentrated sulfuric acid solutions. Of course, the diazotization of unsubstituted amides might be expected to follow this mechanism, and there is evidence that this is true. ... 

See the lUPAC rules Guthrie, R.D. Pure Appl. Chem., 1989, 61, 23. As given here, the lUPAC designations for BacI and BalI are the same, but Rule A.2 adds further symbols so that they can be distinguished Su-AL for BalI and Su-AC for BacI- por reviews of the mechanisms of ester hydrolysis and formation, see Kirby, A.J. in Bamford Tipper, Ref 193, vol. 10, 1972, p. 57 Euranto, E.K. in Patai, Ref 216, p. 505. This is an Sn 1 mechanism with OR as leaving group, which does not happen. 

Many non-Westem folk remedies used to treat diarrhea or other ailments may contain substantial amounts of lead. Examples of these include Alarcon, Ghasard, Alkohl, Greta, Azarcon, Liga, Bali Goli, Pay-loo-ah, Coral, and Rueda. In addition, an adult case of lead poisoning was recently attributed to an Asian remedy for menstrual cramps known as Koo Sar. The pills contained lead at levels as high as 12 ppm (CDC 1998). The source of the lead was thought to be in the red dye used to color the pills.

While some contemporary alchemists such as Hunter, Emmens, Jollivet-Castelot, and Ayton had indeed tried to make gold, Ramsay s attempted transmutations led to a rush toward a different kind of treasure scientific immortality. Multiple chemists pursued the same kinds of experiments that Ramsay had, believing that they too had found positive results. They attempted to position themselves within the scientific world as the first to have proven artificial transmutation. Between 1907, when Ramsay announced his supposed copper transmutations in Nature, and 1914, when he abandoned his efforts, several significant chemists (including J. N. Collie, Hubert Patterson, E. C. C. Baly, Thomas Merton, Irvine Masson, and A. C. G. Egerton) all participated in experiments to use either radium emanation or cathode rays and X-rays to cause chemical transmutation.
