In addition to enabling our synthesis of (—)-7-deoxyloganin (24), our use of the IPrMe catalyst (60) turned out to address a number of issues that we were also experiencing with a related (4+2) annulation, ° thereby highlighting the capacity that total synthesis has to emich studies in synthesis more generally. 

The hydration of more inert ions has been studied by O labelling mass spectrometry. 0-emiched water is used, and an equilibrium between the solvent and the hydration around the central ion is first attained, after which the cation is extracted rapidly and analysed. The method essentially reveals the number of oxygen atoms that exchange slowly on the timescale of the extraction, and has been used to establish the existence of the stable [1 10304] cluster in aqueous solution. 

Wickman (1952) and Craig (1953) were the first to demonstrate that marine plants are about 10%o emiched in C relative to terrestrial plants. Since that time numerous studies have broadened this view and provided a much more detailed account of isotope variations in the biosphere. The reason for the large C-isotope differences... 

All vacuum microbalances suitable for surface studies can best be described in terms of four different classes with operating and performance characteristics unique to each class. The advent of the simple precision microbalance seems to be with Warburg and Ihmori (6) in 1886. From then on numerous designs have been described. Excellent reviews cover the steady progress in precision microgravimetry from those of Pettersson (7) (Sweden, 1915), through Emich (8) (Germany,... 

Stractnral conhrmation and complete NMR assignments were accomplished by 3D PFG NOESY-HMQC experiments nsing a C-emiched sample (Satake et al. 1995). Althongh the 3D NMR techniqne has become a rontine method for studies of protein and nucleotide, apphcations to natural products are rate. Unlike proteins, it is very difficult to enrich marine natural products with more than 90% abnndance. Moreover, the stractural elucidation of most natural products can be accomplished by 2D NMR experiments. MTX needed 3D NMR experiments becanse more than 200 proton signals give rise to over 2000 cross peaks in the 2D NOESY spectra. 

Denterinm is invariably prepared from heavy water, which itself is mannfactnred by the electrolytic emichment of water, and is available for use as a moderator in nuclear reactors. D2O is useful as a source of deuterium in deuterium-labeled compounds. Deuterium compounds such as heavy water have been extensively studied. In Table 3, a number of physical properties of normal water and heavy water are compared. 

Stereochemistry of CO Dissociation. If a complex has nonequivalent CO groups, the stereochemistry of the dissociative process can be defined. This has prompted many studies of exchange reactions with Mn(CO)5Br. Substitution reactions always lead to m-Mn(CO)4LBr, but substitution products do not necessarily provide information on the site of CO dissociation. In an exchange reaction, the products must reflect the site of dissociation by the principle of microscopic reversibility. One would predict that the site of CO dissociation would be cis to the bromide in Mn(CO)sBr since each cis-CO (equatorial) is trans to CO and should not be as strongly jt bonded as the axial CO, which is trans to Br. However, both the axial and equatorial positions were emiched when reacted withC Oor CO ... 

For solution studies, emichment with Fe is necessary and relatively high Fe concentrations (>lmM) are needed.
