Prednicarbate (50) is an example of a carbonate prodrug of corticosteroids, while candesartan cilexetil (51) is a racemic mixture of an alkoxycarbonyloxyalkyl ester of candesartan (53) with a chiral center at the carbonate ester group. Following oral administration, candesartan cilexetil (51) undergoes rapid and complete hydrolysis during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract to form, as shown in Scheme 5, the... 

The supercritical CO2 absorption bands change in intensity as a function of density but the band shape does not change - at least not at the 8 cm spectral resolution typically used for this application. As a result, it is a simple matter to subtract the supercritical carbon dioxide absorption spectrum from an FT-IR data file collected during an SFC/FT-IR experiment. The subtraction factor is adjusted to exactly compensate for the Fermi resonance absorption. The resulting spectrum will then contain only absorption bands due to other components, if any, entrained in the supercritical fluid. The regions from 3800-3500 cm and from 2500-2200 cm appear as gaps in the spectrum because the supercritical carbon dioxide absorbs all the available infrared radiation in these regions.

Early Synthesis. Reported by Kolbe in 1859, the synthetic route for preparing the acid was by treating phenol with carbon dioxide in the presence of metallic sodium (6). During this early period, the only practical route for large quantities of sahcyhc acid was the saponification of methyl sahcylate obtained from the leaves of wintergreen or the bark of sweet bitch. The first suitable commercial synthetic process was introduced by Kolbe 15 years later in 1874 and is the route most commonly used in the 1990s. In this process, dry sodium phenate reacts with carbon dioxide under pressure at elevated (180—200°C) temperature (7). There were limitations, however not only was the reaction reversible, but the best possible yield of sahcyhc acid was 50%. An improvement by Schmitt was the control of temperature, and the separation of the reaction into two parts. At lower (120—140°C) temperatures and under pressures of 500—700 kPa (5—7 atm), the absorption of carbon dioxide forms the intermediate phenyl carbonate almost quantitatively (8,9). The sodium phenyl carbonate rearranges predominately to the ortho-isomer. sodium sahcylate (eq. 8). 

A particular vibration will give an absorption peak in the IR spectrum only if the dipole moment of the molecule changes during the vibration. Which vibration of carbon dioxide, the symmetric stretch or the antisymmetric stretch, is infrared-active ... 

The mercury trap enables the operator to adjust the flow of the carbon dioxide according to the rate of absorption, and to apply a pressure of 45 mm. during the last half-hour. The pressure itself has practically no effect. The trap consists merely of a narrow glass test-tube containing mercury, and the tube is made to extend beneath the surface. 

Food containing salicylate (curry powder, paprika, licorice, prunes, raisins, and tea) may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Coadministration of the salicylates with activated charcoal decreases the absorption of the salicylates. Antacids may decrease the effects of the salicylates. Coadministration with the carbonic anhydrase inhibitors increases the risk of salicylism. Aspirin may increase the risk of bleeding during... 

Figure 15-12 is a schematic illustration of a technique known as acid volatile sulfides/ simultaneously extracted metals analysis (AVS/SEM). Briefly, a strong acid is added to a sediment sample to release the sediment-associated sulfides, acid volatile sulfides, which are analyzed by a cold-acid purge-and-trap technique (e.g., Allen et ai, 1993). The assumption shown in Fig. 15-12 is that the sulfides are present in the sediments in the form of either FeS or MeS (a metal sulfide). In a parallel analysis, metals simultaneously released with the sulfides (the simultaneously extracted metals) are also quantified, for example, by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Metals released during the acid attack are considered to be associated with the phases operationally defined as "exchangeable," "carbonate," "Fe and Mn oxides," "FeS," and "MeS."...
