Chelate origin

Other complexing agents sometimes advocated are cryptates, especially the compound dubbed [2.2.2] (Kryptofix 222) [23978-09-8] (see Chelating agents). Crown ethers were originally advocated for reactions in the presence of soHd reagents (Uquid-soHd PTC). It is now known, however, that onium salts are equally suitable in many cases. 

Further Preparative Reactions. When pulps are to be used in the production of materials that do not retain the original fiber stmcture, such as rayon or ceUulose acetate film, the lignin, hemiceUulose, and other components must be reduced to the lowest possible concentrations. A surfactant (ionic or nonionic) is often added during a hot, weakly alkaline extraction step after chlorination. Another approach, sometimes used in addition to the surfactant step, is to treat the pulp with 6—10% NaOH after most of the oxidative bleaching is finished. This treatment removes most of the hemiceUulose. In most purification plants the final stage includes use of sulfuric acid chelators are optional. 

The affinity method may be biospecific, for example as an antibody-antigen interaction, or chemical as in the chelation of boronate by ci5-diols, or of unknown origin as in the binding of certain dyes to albumin and other proteins. 

Pedersen on the effect of various chelating agents upon the autoxidation of petroleum (a useful model system) catalysed by various transition metals. The deactivating efficiency is the percentage restoration of the original induction period observed with a control sample of petroleum without metal or deactivator. Only iV" -tetrasalicylidenetetra(aminomethyl)methane was effective... 

Studies in the photoinitiation of polymerization by transition metal chelates probably stem from the original observations of Bamford and Ferrar [33]. These workers have shown that Mn(III) tris-(acety]acetonate) (Mn(a-cac)3) and Mn (III) tris-(l,l,l-trifluoroacetyl acetonate) (Mn(facac)3) can photosensitize the free radical polymerization of MMA and styrene (in bulk and in solution) when irradiated with light of A = 365 at 25°C and also abstract hydrogen atom from hydrocarbon solvents in the absence of monomer. The initiation of polymerization is not dependant on the nature of the monomer and the rate of photodecomposition of Mn(acac)3 exceeds the rate of initiation and the initiation species is the acac radical. The mechanism shown in Scheme (14) is proposed according to the kinetics and spectral observations ... 

In his original paper,2 Cram disclosed an alternative model that rationalizes the preferred stereochemical course of nucleophilic additions to chiral carbonyl compounds containing an a heteroatom that is capable of forming a complex with the organometallic reagent. This model, known as the Cram cyclic or Cram chelate model, has been extensively studied by Cram9 and by others,410...

The second reaction needs to be suppr ol as much as jwssible as die product Fe" (EDTA) is not capable of reacting with NO. In the biochemical regeno-ation step, die loaded iron-chelate solution (Xintainir Fe°(EDTA) "(NO) and Fe (EDTA)", is contacted with specific micro-organisms that convert the nitrosyl complex bade to the original Fe (EDTA) complex and Na In addition, Fe (EDTA) is rrfuced to the original Fe"(EDTAT compound [2] ... 

The proposed reaction mechanism involves intermolecular nucleophilic addition of the amido ligand to the olefin to produce a zwitterionic intermediate, followed by proton transfer to form a new copper amido complex. Reaction with additional amine (presnmably via coordination to Cn) yields the hydroamination prodnct and regenerates the original copper catalyst (Scheme 2.15). In addition to the NHC complexes 94 and 95, copper amido complexes with the chelating diphosphine l,2-bis-(di-tert-bntylphosphino)-ethane also catalyse the reaction [81, 82]. 

Except for the syntheses using terpene-derived starting materials (Schemes 13.7, 13.8, and 13.9), the previous juvabione syntheses all gave racemic products. Some of the more recent juvabione syntheses are enantiospecific. The synthesis in Scheme 13.16 relied on a chiral sulfoxide that undergoes stereoselective addition to cyclohexenone to establish the correct relative and absolute configuration at C(4) and C(7). The origin of the stereoselectivity is a chelated TS that leads to the observed product.20...
