Purified CYP2E1 from mouse and rat liver microsomes in a reconstituted system is a very active catalyst of dimethylformamide oxidation, the turnover being about 10 mnol/ min per nmol P450 for both species however, the affinities are very different. The values for mouse and rat CYP2E1, respectively, were about 0.08 mM and 1.1 mM (Chieli etal., 1995). 

Surface heterogeneity may be inferred from emission studies such as those studies by de Schrijver and co-workers on P and on R adsorbed on clay minerals [197,198]. In the case of adsorbed pyrene and its derivatives, there is considerable evidence for surface mobility (on clays, metal oxides, sulfides), as from the work of Thomas [199], de Mayo and co-workers [200], Singer [201] and Stahlberg et al. [202]. There has also been evidence for ground-state bimolecular association of adsorbed pyrene [66,203]. The sensitivity of pyrene to the polarity of its environment allows its use as a probe of surface polarity [204,205]. Pyrene or ofter emitters may be used as probes to study the structure of an adsorbate film, as in the case of Triton X-100 on silica [206], sodium dodecyl sulfate at the alumina surface [207] and hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride adsorbed onto silver electrodes from water and dimethylformamide [208]. In all cases progressive structural changes were concluded to occur with increasing surfactant adsorption. 

METHOD 2 Without a doubt, this is the current world favorite for making P2Ps. This method is known as the Wacker oxidation and involves mixing safrole (or any other allylbenzene), palladium chloride, cuprous chloride and dimethylformamide in an oxygen atmosphere to get MD-P2P very quickly and in a totally clean manner [11, 12]. There s also a very nice review in ref. 13.

Furalazine, Acetylfuratrizine, Panfuran-S. Heating nitrovin in butanol or dimethylformamide at 100—130°C affords furalazine, 6-[2-(5-nitro-2-furanyl)ethenyl]-l,2,4-triazine-3-amine (34). An improved synthesis originates with 5-nitro-2-furancarboxaldehyde and acetone, proceeds through 4-(5-nitro-2-furanyl)-3-buten-2-one followed by a selenium dioxide oxidation to the pymvaldehyde hydrate, and subsequent reaction with aininoguariidine (35). Furalazine, acetylfuratrizine (36), and the A[-A/-bis(hydroxymethyl) derivative, Panfuran-S, formed from the parent compound and formaldehyde (37), are systemic antibacterial agents. 

Catalysts. Silver and silver compounds are widely used in research and industry as catalysts for oxidation, reduction, and polymerization reactions. Silver nitrate has been reported as a catalyst for the preparation of propylene oxide (qv) from propylene (qv) (58), and silver acetate has been reported as being a suitable catalyst for the production of ethylene oxide (qv) from ethylene (qv) (59). The solubiUty of silver perchlorate in organic solvents makes it a possible catalyst for polymerization reactions, such as the production of butyl acrylate polymers in dimethylformamide (60) or the polymerization of methacrylamide (61). Similarly, the solubiUty of silver tetrafiuoroborate in organic solvents has enhanced its use in the synthesis of 3-pyrrolines by the cyclization of aHenic amines (62). 

Oxidation. Succinic acid reacts with hydrogen peroxide, giving different products that depend on the experimental conditions peroxysuccinic acid [2279-96-1] (CH2COOOH)2, oxosuccinic acid [328-42-7] (oxaloacetic acid) malonic acid [141-82-2] or a mixture of acetaldehyde, malonic acid, and make acid [6915-15-7]. Succinic anhydride in dimethylformamide (DMF) with H2O2 gives monoperoxysuccinic acid [3504-13-0], HOOCCH2CH2COOOH, mp 107°C (70). 

The most suitable oxidizing agent is potassium ferricyanide, but ferric chloride, hydrogen peroxide ia the presence of ferrous salts, ammonium persulfate, lead dioxide, lead tetraacetate or chromate, or silver and cupric salts may be useful. Water mixed, eg, with methanol, dimethylformamide, or glycol ethers, is employed as reaction medium. 

Cellulose dissolved in suitable solvents, however, can be acetylated in a totally homogeneous manner, and several such methods have been suggested. Treatment in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) with paraformaldehyde gives a soluble methylol derivative that reacts with glacial acetic acid, acetic anhydride, or acetyl chloride to form the acetate (63). The maximum degree of substitution obtained by this method is 2.0 some oxidation also occurs. Similarly, cellulose can be acetylated in solution with dimethylacetamide—paraformaldehyde and dimethylformamide-paraformaldehyde with a potassium acetate catalyst (64) to provide an almost quantitative yield of hydroxymethylceUulose acetate. 

Snatzke has found that a solution prepared from chromium trioxide and dimethylformamide with a small amount of sulfuric acid has similar chemical properties as the Sarett reagent. It is useful with acid sensitive compounds and oxidation occurs at such a moderate rate that selective oxidations are often possible. Although the position allylic to a A -double bond is not attacked, the 3-hydroxy-A -system cannot be oxidized satisfactorily to the cor-... 

Perfluoroalkyltin halides can be prepared via oxidative addition of perfluo-roalkyl iodides to tin(II) halides in dimethylformamide (DMF) [12] The per-fluoroalkyltin(IV) dihalide could not be isolated, but in DMF solution, the tin(lV) compound did react with aldehydes and ketones in the presence of pyndine [12] (equation 8) Typical perfluoroalkylcarbinols prepared by this method are shown in Table 1 [12]...

Reduction of fullerenes to fullerides — Reversible electrochemical reduction of Ceo in anhydrous dimethylformamide/toluene mixtures at low temperatures leads to the air-sensitive coloured anions Qo" , ( = 1-6). The successive mid-point reduction potentials, 1/2, at -60°C are -0.82, -1.26, -1.82, -2.33, —2.89 and —3.34 V, respectively. Liquid NH3 solutions can also be used. " Ceo is thus a very strong oxidizing agent, its first reduction potential being at least 1 V more positive than those of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. C70 can also be reversibly reduced and various ions up to... 

Apart from TiO and the lower halides already mentioned, the chemistry of these metals in oxidation states lower than 3 is not well established. Addition compounds of the type [TiCl2L2] can be formed with difficulty with ligands such as dimethylformamide and acetonitrile, but their magnetic properties suggest that they also are polymeric with appreciable metal-metal bonding. However, the electronic spectra of Ti in TiCl2/AlCl3 melts and also of Ti incorporated in NaCl crystals (prepared by... 

The synthesis can be conducted both in solution and without solvents. The reaction in solvent (e.g., methanol, ethanol, dioxane, dimethylformamide) is recommended for volatile 1,3-diynes and amines in this case the pyrroles are purer and the yield is higher. With disubstituted diacetylenes, ammonia and primary alkyl- and arylamines produce 1,2,3-trisubstituted pyrroles under the same conditions (65CB98 71MI1). Since disubstituted diacetylenes are readily obtained by oxidative coupling of acetylenes (98MI2), this reaction provides a preparative route to a wide range of pyrroles. 

With secondary and tertiary alkyl halides an Ea-elimination is often observed as a side-reaction. As the alkyl halide reactant an iodide is most often employed, since alkyl iodides are more reactive than the corresponding bromides or chlorides. With phenoxides as nucleophiles a C-alkylation can take place as a competing reaction. The ratio of 0-alkylation versus C-alkylation strongly depends on the solvent used. For example reaction of benzylbromide 4 with /3-naphth-oxide 5 in yV,A-dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent yields almost exclusively the /3-naphthyl benzylether 6, while the reaction in water as solvent leads via intermediate 7 to formation of the C-benzylated product—l-benzyl-2-naphthol 8—as the major product ... 

A mixture of 50 g of betamethasone, 50 cc of dimethylformamide, 50 cc of methyl orthobenzoate and 1.5 g of p-toluenesulfonicacid Is heated for 24 hours on oil bath at 105°C while a slow stream of nitrogen is passed through the mixture and the methanol produced as a byproduct of the reaction is distilled off. After addition of 2 cc of pyridine to neutralize the acid catalyst the solvent and the excess of methyl orthobenzoate are almost completely eliminated under vacuum at moderate temperature. The residue Is chromatographed on a column of 1,500 g of neutral aluminum oxide. By elution with ether-petroleum ether 30 g of a crystalline mixture are obtained consisting of the epimeric mixture of 170 ,21 -methyl orthobenzoates. This mixture is dissolved without further purification, in 600 cc of methanol and 240 cc of methanol and 240 cc of aqueous 2 N oxalic acid are added to the solution. The reaction mixture is heated at 40°-50°C on water bath, then concentrated under vacuum. The residue, crystallized from acetone-ether, gives betamethasone 17-benzoate, MP 225°-231°C.

In contrast, quinoline-2-carbonitrile At-oxide fails to react with the acetylene diester at 20 C, whereas in dimethylformamide at 100 C a low yield of the l//-l-benzazepine-2-carbonitrile 54 is formed by loss of the oxalyl side chain and isomerization of the resulting 3//-1 -benzazepine to the 1//-system. 

The bromo substituent in l-bromo-19-meLhyl-l,l9-dideoxybiladienes- c is not essential for porphyrin formation. When 1-methylbiladiene-ac dihydrobromide or the 1,19-dimethyl-biladienc-ac are heated in refluxing methanol or dimethylformamide in the presence of cop-per(II) salts, the porphyrin copper complexes 13 are formed by oxidative cyclization. The free porphyrins can then be obtained by removal of the copper with acid. A wide range of porphyrins 13 can be prepared by this method. However, a restriction is the accessibility of the starting material with special substitution patterns. 

Vanadium phthalocyanine (PcVO) is prepared from vanadium(IIl) chloride in a melt of phthalonitrile228 to which sometimes ammonium vanadate137 or molybdate229 and urea are added. Also a reaction with vanadium(V) oxide and phthalonitrile in pen tan-1-ol has been performed.230 Besides these direct syntheses, transformation of PcH2 to PcVO in refluxing dimethylformamide with vanadyl sulfate (V0S04) has been carried out.231... 

Solubility and stability of coelenterazine. Coelenterazine is very poorly soluble in neutral aqueous buffer solutions, and the solutions are unstable in air. It can be easily dissolved in water in the presence of alkali, but the resulting solution is extremely unstable under aerobic conditions. Coelenterazine is soluble in methanol, and the solution is relatively stable. The stability is enhanced by the addition of a trace of HCl. A methanolic solution of coelenterazine can be stored for several days at — 20°C, and a methanolic solution containing 1-2 mM HCl can be stored for several months at — 70°C under aerobic conditions without significant oxidation. In many other organic solvents, coelenterazine is less stable, and spontaneously auto-oxidized at significant rates. In dimethylformamide and DMSO, it is rapidly decomposed accompanied by the emission of chemiluminescence. e-Coelenterazines are generally less stable than coelenterazines.
