Controls through substitution

Development in the area of asymmetric aza-annulation reactions paralleled achievements in the analogous area of asymmetric Michael addition reactions with chiral imines.111 Induction of asymmetry has been primarily controlled through substitution at the nitrogen of the imine or enamine that becomes incorporated into the heterocycle. Restricted rotation of this asymmetric substituent led to preferred conformational isomers, which provided stereofacial bias for carbon-carbon bond formation. 

Arsenate commonly substitutes for sulfate and phosphate in a variety of minerals and other solid compounds. Jarosite is an example of a sulfate mineral that may acquire considerable arsenate through substitutions into its crystalline structure. Jarosites often precipitate in acid mine drainage and they could be important in controlling the mobility of arsenate in these waters (Chapter 3). 

Bromination of pyrrole with bromine gives mainly the thermodynamically more stable 3-bromo derivative, which is produced from the 2-isomer, formed initially under kinetic control, through isomerization catalyzed by the reaction product HBr. If N-bromosuccinimide is used for bromination, no HBr is produced and the 2-isomer dominates (8IJOC222I). Bromination of furan gave cis- and frans-2,5,-dibromo-2,5-dihydrofurans (isolated as the dimethoxy derivatives) in a ratio of 3 I (67BCJ130). A spectroscopic study carried out at low temperature (- 50°C) confirmed this ratio and also showed that 20% of trans-2,3-dibro-mo-2,3-dihydrofuran was formed (75CC875). It is not known whether these adducts (which demonstrate the competition between 1,4- and 1,2-addition) are intermediates along the pathway for bromine substitution, or whether they are produced in a separate equilibrium as is the case for bromination of benzo[6]furan. 

Primary prevention pertains to actions that are taken before disease develops. The first line of defense against toxin-induced disease is the recognition that specific exposures are hazardous this distinction is based on either prior human experience or experimental evidence. Recognized hazards may then be eliminated from the environment through substitution, through engineering controls, or through personal protective equipment. 

However, both of these libraries were screened only for their inherent fluorescence property, but not tested for their potential as sensors. As envisioned, fluorescence properties such as emission wavelengths and quantium yields of coumarin compounds (Fig. 17.7) in the same library span large diversity. This demonstrated that even a simple substitution on the fluorophore scaffold can dramatically affect the fluorescence properties, which cannot be delicately controlled through a designed approach. A large pool of fluorescent compounds with different properties provided potentially a large platform for screenings on different purposes. 

Nanoreactors can also be used for protecting one reaction site or blocking a reaction through encapsulation of a reactant. As an example, the regioselectiv-ity of nucleophilic substitution of aryl-substituted allylic chlorides can be controlled through encapsulation and shielding of the internal reaction site of the substrate within the cavity of coordination capsule [51].
