Vinyl Phosphates. Dichlorvos [62-73-7] 0,0-dimethyl 0-(2,2-dichloroviayl) phosphate, (CH20)2P(0)0CH=CCl2 (bp 140°C at 27 kPa, d 1.314, vp 1.6 Pa at 20°C), is soluble ia water to about 10 g/L. The half-hfe ia water is 8 h. The rat oral LD qS are 80, 56 mg/kg. Dichlorvos is used ia aerosols and sugar baits to control flies and mosquitoes. Slow release formulations have been used ia plastic strips and pet collars to control animal ectoparasites. 

The mechanism of the lysozyme reaction is shown in Figures 16.36 and 16.37. Studies using O-enriched water showed that the Ci—O bond is cleaved on the substrate between the D and E sites. Hydrolysis under these conditions incorporates into the Ci position of the sugar at the D site, not into the oxygen at C4 at the E site (Figure 16.36). Model building studies place the cleaved bond approximately between protein residues Glu and Asp. Glu is in a nonpolar or hydrophobic region of the protein, whereas Asp is located in a much more polar environment. Glu is protonated, but Asp is ionized... 

A mixture of methyl 3-deoxy-3-C-methyl-3-nitro-ct-D- and fi-L-glucopyranosides d l is formed by the reaction of nitroethane with the sugar thaldehyde obtained from L-glucose The products are separated and converted into branched-chain fluoro nitro l- and L-sugars fEq 361 ... 

D-Glucitol, the alditol produced by reduction of D-glucose, is itself a naturally occurring substance present in many fruits and berries. It is used under its alternative name, D-sorbitol, as a sweetener and sugar substitute in foods. 

Because of the somewhat ambiguous definitions of D and L, another system of nomendature was devised for asymmetric compounds, and it has largely replaced the old D, L-system since the 1960s. However, the D, L-nomendature is still used for amino adds and sugars. 

Enzyme preparations from liver or microbial sources were reported to show rather high substrate specificity [76] for the natural phosphorylated acceptor d-(18) but, at much reduced reaction rates, offer a rather broad substrate tolerance for polar, short-chain aldehydes [77-79]. Simple aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes are not converted. Therefore, the aldolase from Escherichia coli has been mutated for improved acceptance of nonphosphorylated and enantiomeric substrates toward facilitated enzymatic syntheses ofboth d- and t-sugars [80,81]. High stereoselectivity of the wild-type enzyme has been utilized in the preparation of compounds (23) / (24) and in a two-step enzymatic synthesis of (22), the N-terminal amino acid portion of nikkomycin antibiotics (Figure 10.12) [82]. 

D-Xylose, which is one of the most abundant sugars in plant polysaccharides, is a rare component of bacterial polysaccharides. It is found in the LPS of Type 1 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain" GC 6. L-Xylose and its 3-methyI ether are components of the LPS of Pseudomonas maltophila strain NCTC 10257, and are j -pyranosidic. The d- and L-sugars, and different methyl ethers of these, have also been found in the LPS of some photosynthetic bacteria."... 

Three 3-amino-3,6-dideoxyhexoses, having the d- and L gluco and D-ga-lacto configurations, have been found. The two D-sugars are not very common, but occur in some 0-antigens for example, those from E. coli 0114 (Ref. 60) and E. coli 02 (Ref 61), respectively. The D-galacto isomer has also been found in the cell-wall polysaccharide from Eubacterium saburreum strain L13.3-Amino-3,6-dideoxy-L-glucose has been found in the core part of the Aeromonas hydrophila chemotype 111 LPS. 

The melting points of carbohydrates (sugars) are not usually sharp and they are perhaps best expressed as decomposition points, t The small capital letter prefix refers to configuration, relat to D- lyceraldehyde, and not to the direction of optical rotation. The sign of optical rotation is expressed as (+) and (—) or as d and I or by the words dtxtro and loevo. Thus we have d-(—)-fructose and ,-(+).arabinose.

Uncatalyzed Diels-Alder reactions between l-(trimethysiloxy)- or 1-acetoxy-l,3-butadiene and sugar-derived nitroalkenes having D-galacto or D-manno configurations proceed with complete regioselectivity. Diastereofacial selectivity is also complete with the D-galacto dieno-phile, whereas it is only moderate with the D-manno (Eq. 8.30).51...
