Block-orientation

The modelling tools in current commercial simulators may roughly be classified into two groups depending on their approach block-oriented (or modular) and equation-oriented. 

Figure 3.35 presents the page of a modem commercial simulator (Hysim 1995) where we can identify the different elements of the process specified in this block-oriented simulator.

In a ferrofluid particle where the Neel relaxation mechanism is blocked, orientational changes in M will be due to the rotational motion of the particle only. Consequently the magnetization behaves like that of a bar magnet when placed in a magnetic field. The gyromagnetic or precessional term is not present in its equation of motion. Consequently that equation is Eq. (5.2) with the precessional terms set equal to zero corresponding to rjyM 1 so that now (see Section 1 of [16])...

Pyrolysis of phase-separated PFS block copolymer films also allows the formation of metal-rich nanostructures. For example, pyrolysis of a thin film of PS-b-PFS, with cylinders of the amorphous PFS block oriented perpendicular to the substrate within a crosslinked PS matrix, at 600 °C yields iron-containing dots of size ca. 20 nm on a substrate (Fig. 3.19) [168].

Synthetic approaches in which two skeletal bonds are formed piecemeal between a single pair of functional groups are more circumstantial and, hence, less attractive (Scheme 2.38). They instead reflect the change to a building block oriented synthesis strategy.

When skeletal bonds to groups R and R are to be made in the vicinity of a carbon-carbon double bond, substitution of allylic acetates by organocuprates or by malonates (Pd(O)-catalyzed) comes to mind. Alternatively, when R and R are to be introduced as electrophiles (a-synthons), one considers the Lewis acid catalyzed substitution of allylsilanes or allylstannanes. The incorporation of a branched methallyl or isoprene moiety in this manner represents a standard example of a building block oriented strategy in synthesis [28] (Scheme 3.18). 

When the methodology of stereoselective synthesis was still in its infancy, it was considered advantageous to utilize sequences of stereogenic centers available from enantiomerically pure natural products as building blocks [3, 4] this so-called chiral pool synthesis strategy is exemplified in Scheme 4.2. The bicyclic acetal structure of exo-brevicomin (31) can be ret-rosynthetically linked to the chiral ketodiol 32, which can be derived from (S,S)-(-)-tartaric acid, a readily available chiral starting material. This leads to the building block oriented bond-set depicted in intermediate 32.

The value of using bivalent conjunctive reagents can be seen in a building block oriented synthesis of juvabione (39) [19] (Scheme 5.8). 

When only the vic-diol unit of polyoxamic acid (Scheme 4.9) is considered, L-tartaric acid appears as a straightforward precursor for a building block oriented synthesis [11,12] (Scheme 13.18). This leaves the task of addressing a stereoselective generation of the amine-bearing stereogenic center, preferably by substrate-based asymmetric induction (cf. Chap. 10). 

The vicinal functionalities and the amine-bearing stereogenic center suggest L-serine as the most obvious precursor for a building-block oriented... 

Because of the availabdity of both L- and D-lysine, this compound constitutes a suitable starting point to allow access to either enantiomer of the product in a building block oriented approach, which is abbreviated in...
