Thus the condensation of dichloroether or chloroacetone fails to give the parent compound, 2-hydroxythiazole (158a), Rj = R2 = R3 = H (221). However, 2-hydroxythiazole can be obtained in 12% yield from chloro-acetaldehyde (386). The condensation of ammonium thiocarbamate with cf-chloroketones gives the corresponding 2-hydroxy derivatives in 25 to 70% yields (76, 221, 304, 412) (Table 11-24). These compounds condensed with ClP(S)(OEt)2 give the corresponding 2-thiazolyl-thiophosphates (791). 

The EPA Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) has responsibility for managing the analysis programs required under the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). The approved analytical methods are designed to analyze water, soil, and sediment from potentially hazardous waste sites to determine the presence or absence of certain environmentally harmful organic compounds. The methods described here all require the use of GC/MS. 

Certain laboratories can, after a contract has been awarded, register under the Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) of the EPA. To earn a contract, one or more specifically prepared samples must be analyzed under very similar conditions to those used in standard protocols. Only if the data are deemed satisfactory will a contract be awarded. Further evaluation samples must be analyzed at three-month intervals afterward to ensure that performance is being maintained. 

Chromatographic peak areas are calculated automatically by the data system by reference to the response obtained from certain specified, compound-dependent ions. From the peak areas of the target compounds, quantification is achieved by comparison with the internal standards, which are present in known concentration. The laboratory responsible for the analysis must report the target compounds and all tentatively identified (nontarget) compounds. Standard EPA forms must be completed and submitted. A laboratory is said to be in compliance when it has satisfied all aspects of its CLP contract. 

The analysis programs of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) are managed through the EPA s Contract Laboratory Program (CLP). 

A laboratory wishing to register under the CLP must perform certain analytical test procedures to the EPA s satisfaction. 

Another important protein of the Clp family is ClpB which possesses ATPase activity. In a clpB mutation, 45% of the denatured and aggregated protein arising transiently after the transfer of an E. coli culture from 30 to 45 °C is stabilized [14]. ClpB seems to play an important role in the renaturation or proteolysis of the aggregated proteins, but the mechanism of action of ClpB is not yet known. One can suppose that it might participate in the resolubilization of aggregated proteins.
