The enantioselective lithiation of anisolechromium tricarbonyl was used by Schmalz and Schellhaas in a route towards the natural product (+)-ptilocaulin . In situ hthi-ation and silylation of 410 with ent-h M gave ewf-411 in an optimized 91% ee (reaction carried ont at — 100°C over 10 min, see Scheme 169). A second, substrate-directed lithiation with BuLi alone, formation of the copper derivative and a quench with crotyl bromide gave 420. The planar chirality and reactivity of the chromium complex was then exploited in a nucleophilic addition of dithiane, which generated ptilocaulin precnrsor 421 (Scheme 172). The stereochemistry of componnd 421 has also been used to direct dearomatizing additions, yielding other classes of enones. ... 

The enantioselective deprotonation of the borane complex 248 of A-methylisoindoline was investigated by Simpkins and coworkers (eqnation 59) . Deprotonation with i-BuLi/(—)-sparteine (11) in diethyl ether at —78°C for 1 h, followed by quenching with chlorotrimethylsilane, yielded the silanes 251, ent-252, 252, ent-25 in a ratio of 86.3 0.4 6.3 7.0 after destroying the chiral centre at nitrogen by treatment of the whole mixture with triethylamine, an e.r. 253/ewf-253 of 86.7 13.3 is expected. 

They set up the catalytic reaction system depicted in Scheme 13. [Ru(menbpy)3]3 + is generated by oxidative quenching of [Ru(menbpy)3]2 + by the oxidant [Co(acac)3] (40, Hacac = pentane-2,4-dione). By oxidation of binaph-thol 38, [Ru(menbpy)3]3 + is converted to [Ru(menbpy)3]2 +. The oxidation products have not been established yet. With chiral A-[Ru(menbpy)3]3+ (S)-( — )-l,l -bi-2-naphtol (38) was converted faster than the (/ )-(+) enantiomer ent-38), so that after 3 h binaphthol ent-38 was obtained in 15% ee. 

In the chromophore-quencher system (1) a ferrocenyl unit is connected to a Ru(tpy)2 + unit via a p-phenylene-acetylene spacer [141]. The weak emission of the Ru(tpy)2 chromophore is completely quenched in the dyad [142]. For this system, an EnT mechanism could be inferred by analogy with the behavior of related bimolecular systems [140], but PET followed by fast back electron transfer cannot be ruled out. This mechanistic ambiguity is common to most studies on related chro-mophore-ferrocene dyads [143-146]. 

In dyads formed by the Ru(bpy)3 + complex and an anthracene moiety (25), a strong quenching of the MLCT luminescence of the Ru-based unit is observed [195], This quenching is attributed to exergonic triplet-triplet energy transfer from the metal complex to anthracene. The process, in which anthracene acts as an EnT quencher, is represented in Figure 18. A similar behavior has been observed in a dyad formed by a Re(bpy)(CO)3 unit and an anthracene moiety [202]. 

Despite the extensive use of methanol as quenching ent in cationic polymerizations, little is known about the chemical reactions which occur during quenching. An observation related to this question is worth mentioning here. 

The enhancement in photoreaction rates of DDE and dichlorobenzc phenone on sorption to dissolved organic matter (DOM) seem to be incor sistent with other reports that the fluorescence of aromatic hydrocarbons strongly quenched by sorption to DOM (30, 33, 34). After all, fluorescence like photoreaction, is an excited-state process, and fluorescence quenchin indicates that locally high concentrations of excited-state quenchers are pre ent in the NOM. However, most NOM is fluorescent itself, a condition ii dicating that the quenchers in NOM cannot quench all excited states efl ciently (41). Possible explanations for the difference in the effects of sorptic... 

DCC presents several basic requirements in addition to the selection of a satisfactory set of components, i) a major task in the development of VCLs is the search for suitable reversible processes to connect them ii) it is desirable to devise procedures for quenching these processes so as to lock-in irreversibly the constituent(s) expressed Hi) library deconvolution methods for the rapid identification of the components contained in the active constitu-ent(s) are needed finally, practical, but not minor, questions concern the characterization of the constituent of the VCL that is being expressed. 

The synthesis of an enantiomerically enriched chromium complex via asymmetric lithiation of a prochiral tricarbonyl(ri -arene)chromium complex using a chiral lithium amide base was first demonstrated in 1994 by Simpkins [88]. Arene complex 44 was treated with C2-symmetric chiral base ent-39 in the presence of TMSCl as an internal quench and silylated complex 45 was obtained in 84% ee (Scheme 24). 

Many diterpenes are shown to act as primary antioxidants. Inside the body, some diterpenoids act as primary or synergistic antioxidants [146]. Carotenoids are well known as antioxidant agents and act along two different main pathways physical and chemical radical quenching [147, 148]. Ertas et al. evaluated the antioxidant activity of petroleum ether, methanolic and acetone extracts, and some isolated ent-kaurane diterpenoids from the aerial parts of Sideritis arguta by p-carotene...
