A much more serious drawback to using chiral drugs as racemic mixtures is illustrated by thalidomide briefly employed as a sedative and antinausea drug in Europe during the period 1959-1962 The desired properties are those of (/ ) thalidomide (S) Thalido mide however has a very different spectrum of bio logical activity and was shown to be responsible for over 2000 cases of serious birth defects in children born to women who took it while pregnant... 

Several shifts and coupling eonstants in the NMR speetra set 34 are so typical that the carbon skeleton can be deduced without any additional information. An NOE difference spectrum gives the relative configuration of the eompound.

In decoupling the methyl protons, the NOE difference spectrum shows a nuclear Overhauser enhancement on the cyclopropane proton at = 1.60 and on the terminal vinyl proton with trans coupling at <5// = 5.05 and, because of the geminal coupling, a negative NOE on the other terminal proton at Sh= 4.87. This confirms the trans configuration G. In the cis isomer H no NOE would be expected for the cyclopropane proton, but one would be expected for the alkenyl-// in the a-position indicated by arrows in H.

The observation of the spectrum for styrene polymerized on the surface of silane-treated silica and of the difference spectrum of polystyrene adsorbed on the surface of silica have revealed that there are absorption bands of atactic polystyrene at 1602, 1493, 1453, 756, and 698 cm. The absorption bands at 1411 and 1010 cm are related to vinyl trimethoxy silane, and C of the difference spectrum is below the base line. This indicates that the vinyl groups of silane react with styrene to form a copolymer. 

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are characterized through the presence of the heme (protoporphyrin IX) prosthetic group (Scheme 10.1) that is coordinated to the enzyme through a conserved cysteine ligand. They have obtained their name from the signature absorption band with a maximum near 450 nm in the difference spectrum when incubated with CO. The absorption arises from the Soret Jilt transition of the ferrous protoporphyrin IX-CO complex. 

The reactivity pattern (1) of silyl enol ethers and ketene acetals is based largely on their synthetic equivalence to enolate anions. Recently, a different spectrum of behaviour has been revealed, particularly in those reactions that involve direct reaction without prior generation of the enolate anion. Indeed, the historic development of silyl enol ethers can be seen in three separate phases, involving...

This olefin was chosen because its slow bromination rate allows to make accurate measurements of transient CTC s with a conventional spectrophotometer. Curve d is a difference spectrum between a solution of Bi2 plus a hundred fold excess of olefin (curve c) and those of the single reagents (curves a and b), and represents the tail of the expected CT band. From the linearity of the plots of the difference absorbance agains the olefin concentration (Fig. 2) it was possible to evaluate a limiting value of Kf < 0.1 M l. On the other hand, a AH = - 0.9 kcal moTl was obtained from a plot (Fig. 3) of the in of the products KfScx. obtained from the first plot, against 1/T, assuming ecj to be temperature independent (ref. 3). 

Although some neural fibers respond to sweet-stimulus compounds placed on the tongue, others do not. This pattern of sensitivity is often a very complicated one. The fibers often respond to more than one, sometimes even to all, of the four taste modalities. Very rarely does a fiber respond specifically to only sweet or salty substances. Furthermore, other fibers may have an entirely different spectrum of sensitivities, and may respond strongly to one sweetener and very weakly to another. Pfaffmann reported how two fibers, one having one pattern of sensitivity to taste, and the other, a different pattern, can signal two different taste-qualities, even though... 

With T set at V2J, the quaternary carbons generally appear with greater intensity than the other carbons, which will be of near-zero intensities, thereby allowing them to be distinguished, particularly from the CH2 carbons, as compared to the normal APT spectrum, in which both CH2 and quaternary carbons appear with positive amplitudes. A difference APT spectrum, in which an APT spectrum recorded with t set at %/is subtracted from another APT spectrum recorded with t set at /sj, can provide useful information. The methyl carbons will then appear with reduced intensities in the difference spectrum as compared to the methine carbons, allowing us to distinguish between them. 

The nOe difference spectrum has the advantage that it allows measurements of small nOe effects, even 1% or below. The experiment involves switching on the decoupler to allow the buildup of nOe. It is then switched off, and a w/2 pulse is applied before acquisition. The nOe is not affected much by the decoupler s being off during acquisition, since the nOes do not disappear instantaneously (the system takes several Ti seconds to return to its equilibrium state). 

The nOe difference spectrum is highly demanding, since even the slightest variation in the spectra recorded with and without preirradiations will show up as artifacts in the difference spectrum (Fig. 4.8). The errors can be random, due to phase instability caused by temperature effects on the Rf circuits, variations in spinner speed, etc. The problem of phase instability is reduced in the latest generation of instruments with digital... 

In the nOe difference spectrum, only the nOe effects of interest remain, while the unaffected signals are removed by subtraction. It does not therefore matter if the nOe responses are small or buried under the unaffected signals, since they show up in the difference spectrum. The main benefit of nOe difference spectroscopy is that it converts the changes in intensity into a form that is more readily recognizable. The difference spectrum is obtained by a process in which a control (normal) spectrum is subtracted from a spectrum acquired with irradiation of a particular signal. 

An aerosil sample was methoxylated at 400 C to examine the effect of surface composition on the infrared spectrum. The difference spectrum between the methoxylated silica and the dried silica is shown in Figure 2b. Comparing this with the difference spectrum for hydroxylated silica (2a) several changes are apparent. First, the band due to the hydroxyl stretches at 3744 cm is diminished and replaced by bands at 2958 and 2856 cm" due to the asymmetric and symmetric CH stretching modes of the adsorbed methoxy.

The adsorbate-covered clusters yield a UPS difference spectrum with two peaks on either side of the metal d-states. The dominant changes in the intensity ratio of these peaks occur up to 50-atom Ag clusters which can be rationalized in terms of the cluster d band width and IP, which both depend on cluster size. 

In addition to this size quantization effect, a second effect was observed in the reaction of OH with Q-CdS. As is seen from Fig. 20, oscillations occur in the difference spectrum of the product at wavelengths below the absorption threshold. The absorptions in this wavelength range are not caused by the positive holes but are due to the changes in size of the colloidal particles upon OH attack. The absorption spectrum shifts slightly towards shorter wavelengths as the particles become smaller in reacting...
