Coordination Efforts with Other Sites

Other efforts have been focused on a conceptually new, directed aldol condensation [54]. Mixed aldol condensations between two different carbonyl compounds with several possible sites for enolization are extremely difficult and there is a variety of undesired pathways involving proton transfer and over-alkylation. The aldol reaction of an a,/ -unsaturated carbonyl compound with an aldehyde was investigated in the presence of ATPH. The reaction first involves fhe demand for control of reactivity and selectivity of the a, -unsaturated carbonyl compound, which upon deprotonation leads to the corresponding extended dienolate of ATPH. A second carbonyl compound aldehyde which serves as an electrophile is activated electronically (but sterically deactivated) by complexation with ATPH. This activation would enable rapid in-situ capture of fhe extended dienolate. ATPH was the reagent of choice, because it could effectively make a strong coordination bond upon encapsulating a number of a, -unsaturated carbonyl compounds. 

The NHA works with DOE, NREL, and others to coordinate codes and standards activities to avoid duplication of effort and enable hydrogen systems to be sited. This requires coordination with industry groups and standards organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, lEC TC 105, the U.S. Fuel Cell Council, the Society of Automotive Engineers, Fuel Cell Propulsion Institute, National Fire Protection Association, and the DOE Fuel Cell Codes and Standards Summit.
