Bridges Smoothing

Later studies have shown that dppp and other ligands containing a propane bridge smoothly form complexes 11a [18, 35]. It was noted by Brown that dppe formed less clean solutions. The small bite angle of 84° is...

Casting of Ti alloys for crowns and bridges is done in investment molds that have been allowed to cool almost to room temperatures after firing. The castings are cleaned in electrolytic solutions or in special chemical polishing solutions that impart a bright smooth surface finish to the casting... 

Various arrangements for the protection rectifier and its possible applications are described in Chapter 8. Large fluctuations of the protection current can be reduced by a current-reducing resistor, R (see Fig. 15-7). This means that the pipe/ soil potential in the middle becomes less negative. A current smoothing action can be achieved with rectifiers connected to the network or by reducing losses by an inductive resistance between the transformer and bridge rectifier (see Section 8.4). 

The smooth intramolecular nucleophilic displacement of biphenyl carboxylic acids leading to benzocoumarins (See Section II.A.) inspired also investigation of the behavior of similar diphenyl ether, diphenyl sulfide and A-methyldiphenyl amine derivatives 458 under similar conditions. However, all these attempts to achieve cyclization to tricyclic compounds 459 were unsuccessful, probably due to the unfavorable stereochemistry for the formation of the required seven-mem-bered transition states and also to the presence of the deactivating bridge groups X (Eq. 42) [68JCS(C)1030]. 

Erratic circulation occurs when the catalyst is not developing a smooth and uniform static head over the entire length of the standpipe. When this happens, the catalyst packs and bridges across the standpipe. Symptoms of erratic circulation include ... 

It has been shown that inositol triphosphate (IP3) is involved in the excitation-contraction coupling in smooth muscle (Vergara et al., 1985), but presently no clear evidence has been reported for a similar involvement in skeletal muscle. If IP3 functions as a messenger for Ca release, it would bridge the gap between muscle metabolic changes and Ca release, as ATP is a prerequisite for IP3 regeneration. 

Treatment of bicyclic lactones 66, derived from Diels-Alder reaction of 3-carboxy-2-pyrone under standard radical conditions using (TMSlsSiH, leads to bridged lactones 67, which can smoothly be converted to bicyclo[3.3.0]-lactones 68 (Scheme 10). For X = CHaOMe, this cascade of rearrangements took place in a 78% overall yield, providing 68 in diastereomerically pure form. Three additional steps provided a novel route toward Corey s lactone 69. 

On the way to cydo-Cig, l,6-bis(triisopropylsilyl)-l,3,5-hexatriyne (2) [50] was subjected to reaction with [Co2(CO)8], followed by ligand exchange with the bridging bis(diphenyphosphino)methane (dppm) ligand, whereupon smooth deprotection yielded the stable dark-red dicobalt complex 3 (Scheme 1). Oxida-... 

When smooth muscle myosin is bound to F-actin in the absence of other muscle proteins such as tropomyosin, there is no detectable ATPase activity. This absence of activity is quite unlike the situation described for striated muscle myosin and F-actin, which has abundant ATPase activity. Smooth muscle myosin contains fight chains that prevent the binding of the myosin head to F-actin they must be phosphorylated before they allow F-actin to activate myosin ATPase. The ATPase activity then attained hydrolyzes ATP about tenfold more slowly than the corresponding activity in skeletal muscle. The phosphate on the myosin fight chains may form a chelate with the Ca bound to the tropomyosin-TpC-actin complex, leading to an increased rate of formation of cross-bridges between the myosin heads and actin. The phosphorylation of fight chains initiates the attachment-detachment contraction cycle of smooth muscle. 

In contrast to the problems encountered on photolysis of alkyl- and aryl-sulphonyl azides, we have found that ferrocenylsulphonyl azide 74 is smoothly decomposed by 3500 A light in cyclohexane or in benzene to give ferrocene 15, ferrocenylsulphonamide 16 and the novel bridged [2]ferrocenophanethiazine 1,1-dioxide 17 24>. The yield of 17 varied with the nature of the solvent, being 13.3% in cyclohexane, 67% in benzene, and zero in dimethyl sulphoxide or DMSO/benzene 25>. 

The other limiting case concerns locally smooth chains. For the case of a Gaussian chain in a network of rods, Edwards found d (L/V) 1/2 [66] which agrees with the above discussed binary contact model. Finally, considering worm-like chain bridges the differences in the power laws between the two limiting cases and exponents between — 1 and — 1/2 may be obtained. 

An unusual cationic domino transformation has been observed by Nicolaou and coworkers during their studies on the total synthesis of the natural product azadirachtin (1-105) [30]. Thus, exposure of the substrate 1-106 to sulfuric acid in CHjClj at 0°C led to the smooth production of diketone 1-109 in 80% yield (Scheme 1.27). The reaction is initiated by proto nation of the olefinic bond in 1-106, affording the tertiary carbocation 1-107, which undergoes a 1,5-hydride shift with concomitant disconnection of the oxygen bridge between the two domains of the molecule. Subsequent hydrolysis of the formed oxenium ion 1-108 yielded the diketone 1-109. 

The acrylato-bridged dicobalt(III) complex 97 (241) was selected in an orienting experiment (Scheme 9). Indeed, bromination of the kinetically inert complex proceeded smoothly and produced complex 98 as the sole product, as established by IR...
