Complementary cation

The macrocychc hexaimine stmcture of Figure 19a forms a homodinuclear cryptate with Cu(I) (122), whereas crown ether boron receptors (Fig. 19b) have been appHed for the simultaneous and selective recognition of complementary cation—anion species such as potassium and fluoride (123) or ammonium and alkoxide ions (124) to yield a heterodinuclear complex (120). 

Exchanging one cation for another in the presence of a third (complementary) cation also becomes easier as the retention strength of the third cation increases. For example, replacing calcium by ammonium is easier from a Ca2+-Al3+ soil than from Ca2+—Na+ soil. The fraction of the CEC satisfied by the tightly bound A1 is in effect blocked off, and the Ca and ammonium ions compete for a smaller number of exchange sites. 

If this should be the case, either apparent acyl transfer or amine transfer would be possible by a direct condensation of the preferentially retained product and an acceptor that can readily displace the product that leaves more easily. That such condensation reactions are catalyzed by pepsin in the case of oligopeptides was demonstrated many years ago (54), and is consistent with the neglible free energy decrease in the hydrolysis of interior peptide bonds (55). For transpeptidation reactions in which an apparent E-Tyr amino-enzyme has been postulated, the free energy change in the condensation of an acceptor such as Ac-Phe with tyrosine would be more unfavorable in free solution, but the possibility must be considered that the ammonium pKa of the tyrosine retained at the active site may be lower than that of tyrosine in free solution, perhaps by virtue of the interaction of the carboxylate group of the amino acid with a complementary cationic group of the active site. 

Van Vranken and coworkers have illustrated an elegant use of convergent stereocontrol in Peterson olefinations. In their synthesis of ( )-3-hydroxybakuchiol, the reaction between a neopentyl a-silyl alkyllithium intermediate and an aryl aldehyde generated a mixture of syn- and anti-P-si y alkoxides. The mixture was treated under basic, kinetic conditions to give stereoselective elimination of the iyw-yS-silyl alkoxide thus affording an E alkene 93. Subsequent heating of the reaction mixture and addition of acid caused stereospecific elimination of the a r/-y9-silyl alkoxide resulting in the same E alkene via the complementary cationic pathway (see section 2.10.3). Excellent selectivity was obtained. 

Basic (Cationic) Dyes. The use of basic dyes is confined mainly to acryUc textile fibers, acetate, and as complementary dyes for acid-modified polyester fibers that accept this class of dyes. 

Hydration of an alkene—the addition of water—is carried out by either of two procedures, depending on the product desired. Oxymercuration involves electrophilic addition of Hg2+ to an alkene, followed by trapping of the cation intermediate with water and subsequent treatment with NaBH4. Hydroboration involves addition of borane (BH3) followed by oxidation of the intermediate organoborane with alkaline H202- The two hydration methods are complementary oxymercuration gives the product of Markovnikov addition, whereas hydroboration/oxidation gives the product with non-Markovnikov syn stereochemistry.

A complementary approach has been reported very recently [43]. hi this case negative charges were introduced into the salen ligand Iq (Fig. 14) with the aim of exchanging it on cationic supports, such as a layered double (Zn, Al) hydroxide. The expansion in the basal spacing indicated intercalation, at least partially, of the Ig-Mn complex between the layers of [Zn2,i5Alo,86(OH)6,o2]- The complex was used in the epoxidation of (i )-limonene with molecular oxygen and pivalaldehyde. The use of N-... 

CE has been used for the analysis of anionic surfactants [946,947] and can be considered as complementary to HPLC for the analysis of cationic surfactants with advantages of minimal solvent consumption, higher efficiency, easy cleaning and inexpensive replacement of columns and the ability of fast method development by changing the electrolyte composition. Also the separation of polystyrene sulfonates with polymeric additives by CE has been reported [948]. Moreover, CE has also been used for the analysis of polymeric water treatment additives, such as acrylic acid copolymer flocculants, phosphonates, low-MW acids and inorganic anions. The technique provides for analyst time-savings and has lower detection limits and improved quantification for determination of anionic polymers, compared to HPLC. 

Scheme 6 Deprotonation of a guanine radical cation with and without a complementary base...

The pattern and efficiencies of strand cleavage at GG steps in duplex DNA reflect the ability of a radical cation to migrate from its initial position through a sequence of base pairs. In an illustrative example, we consider the photochemistry of AQ-DNA(l), which is shown in Fig. 4. AQ-DNA(l) is a 20-mer that contains an AQ group linked to the 5 -end of one strand and has two GG steps in the complementary strand. The proximal GG step is eight base pairs, ca. 27 A, from the 5 -end linked to the AQ, and the distal GG step is 13 base pairs (ca. 44 A) away. The complementary strand is labeled with 32P at its 5 -terminus (indicated by a in Fig. 4). 

The results from irradiation of AQ-DNA(l) show conclusively that a radical cation introduced at one site, Gi at the 3/-terminus of the complementary strand in this case, can migrate through duplex DNA and cause reaction at remote sites. To migrate from its point of injection at Gi to where it reacts at...
