In those cases where a hydrogen atom is located on a carbon gamma to a carbonyl group, intramolecular H-abstraction can occur and radical coupling then results in formation of a four membered ring. This process occured with high efficiency with certain aliphatic diones 163-164)) the only compounds investigated to date in which such intramolecular H-... 

The basic premise for making bromosafrole has been to mix sa-frole with Hydrobromic Acid (a.k.a. hydrogen bromide, HBr). That s it. The HBr does what is called a Markovnikov addition reaction whereby the HBr sees the allyl double bond of safrole and preferentially attaches its hydrogen to the gamma carbon and its bromine to the middle beta carbon (don t ask). 

Strong bases such as methan olic potassium hydroxide, sodium methoxide, or 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU), cause epimerization at the C-2 carbon or shift the beta-gamma double bond into conjugation with the lactone carbonyl (Fig. 4) (25,26). 

For color removal, ozonization has achieved the greatest practical importance as seen by the plethora of articles and patents on this method (147—163). Ozonization in combination with treatments such as coagulation, flocculation, carbon adsorption, uv irradiation, gamma radiation, and biodegradation significantly and successfully remove dye wastes and reduce costs (156,164—170). 

Radiolytic ethylene destruction occurs with a yield of ca. 20 molecules consumed/100 e.v. (36, 48). Products containing up to six carbons account for ca. 60% of that amount, and can be ascribed to free radical reactions, molecular detachments, and low order ion-molecule reactions (32). This leaves only eight molecules/100 e.v. which may have formed ethylene polymer, corresponding to a chain length of only 2.1 molecules/ ion. Even if we assumed that ethylene destruction were entirely the result of ionic polymerization, only about five ethylene molecules would be involved per ion pair. The absence of ionic polymerization can also be demonstrated by the results of the gamma ray initiated polymerization of ethylene, whose kinetics can be completely explained on the basis of conventional free radical reactions and known rate constants for these processes (32). An increase above the expected rates occurs only at pressures in excess of ca. 20 atmospheres (10). The virtual absence of ionic polymerization can be regarded as one of the most surprising aspects of the radiation chemistry of ethylene. 

A final, highly specialized procedure for monitoring carbon flow in plants involves the use of "CO . The use of this positron gamma-emitting isotope of C, with a half-life of 20.3 min, allowed several physiological parameters of my-corrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants of Panicum coloratum to be measured simultaneously in real time (82). However, the technical problems associated with using "COi, particularly the ability to produce i.sotopes of carbon, and with handling this short half-life are likely to limit this approach to specialised facilities. 

After the end of the 4-day exposure, the detectors were returned to EML for analysis. The amount of radon adsorbed on the carbon device was determined by counting the gamma rays of radon progeny in equilibrium with radon. The concentrations of radon in the buildings were determined from the radioactivity in the device and the calibration factor, obtained in a radon chamber, that takes into consideration the length of exposure and a correction for the amount of water vapor adsorbed during the exposure. The lower limit of detection with this technique is 0.2 pCi/1 for a measurement period of 4 days when the test sample is counted for 10 min, 4 days after the end of exposure. More than 90% of the radon monitoring devices were analyzed successfully. Most of the unsuccessful measurements were due to delays or losses caused by the participants. 

The results report in Figure 4a show that there is no linear correlation between the basic activity and the carbon dioxide retained at RT. In the case of eta and gamma, some basic sites were detected by C02 adsorption but could not be active in hydrogen transfer at 250°C.

Radioactive decay is a nuclear process from an intrinsically unstable nucleus that emits alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays. The loss of mass from the nucleus changes the element to one of a lower mass. Carbon dating uses the decay of the 14C nucleus, a heavy and unstable isotope of carbon, to become the stable 14N isotope. The overall process is written ...

Carbon deposition was also found on particles smaller than 1.0 nm supported on polycrystalline gamma alumina. In this case, the decay of TPD curves and the amount of carbon deposited was even more important than in the case discussed above of 1.7 nm particles on 000l a-A O. ... 

Gamma radiolysis of simple carboxylic acids and N-acetyl amino acids results in loss of the carboxyl group with formation of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. In the carboxylic acids, the ratio of C0/C02 produced is approximately 0.1, while in the N-acetyl amino acids the ratio is much smaller. In the poly carboxylic acids and poly amino acids, radiolysis also results in the loss of the carboxyl group, but here the ratio of C0/C02 is greater than 0.1. Incorporation of aromatic groups in the poly amino acids provides some protection for the carboxyl group. The degradation of the poly acids is believed to involve radical and excited state pathways. 

The range of products formed on gamma radiolysis of N-acetylglycine was similar to that formed on radiolysis of the aliphatic carboxylic acids, but there are some noticeable differences in the yields of products. Carbon dioxide is by far the major volatile product of radiolysis and the corresponding product of the decarboxylation reaction, N-methyl acetamide, is also present in large yield, but the yield of this product was not quantitatively determined. By contrast, carbon monoxide is found in very small yield. The yield of acetamide, the product of N-Ca bond scission, is found in much greater yield. 

A variety of radical products is observed following gamma radiolysis of the N-acetyl amino acids at 77 K (6), depending on the nature of the side chain of the parent amino acid. In the case of N-acetyl alanine, for example, the intermediates are (i) the anion radical IV (ii) the decarboxylation radical V (iii) the deamination radical VI and (iv) the alpha carbon radical VII. 

A similar behaviour has been found to occur with the other N-acetyl amino acids. In each case, the most stable radical observed at 303 K was the alpha carbon radical, as was also observed for the aliphatic carboxylic acids. In Table VI the radical yields observed following gamma radiolysis of a series of N-acetyl amino acids at 303 K are reported, together with the stable radical intermediates observed at this temperature (5).
