A interesting and useful reaetion is the intramolecular polycyclization reaction of polyalkenes by tandem or domino insertions of alkenes to give polycyclic compounds[l 38]. In the tandem cyclization. an intermediate in many cases is a neopentylpalladium formed by the insertion of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes, which has no possibility of /3-elimination. The key step in the total synthesis of scopadulcic acid is the Pd-catalyzed construction of the tricyclic system 202 containing the bicyclo[3.2. Ijoctane substructure. The single tricyclic product 202 was obtained in 82% yield from 201 [20,164). The benzyl chloride 203 undergoes oxidative addition and alkene insertion. Formation of the spiro compound 204 by the intramolecular double insertion of alkenes is an exam-ple[165].

COMMENT I would dispute it within the dopamine system itself And I would dispute it about Parkinson s disease. I think that if you did a proper neuropsychological exam that you would pick up even smaller depletion effects. I think if you are looking for an overt complete terminal Parkinson situation, yes, you need a 99 percent depletion. But part of the problem is that the Parkinson situation involves not only the nigrostriatal system but also the mesolimbic dopamine system. There are plenty of studies in rats, and it is very easy to produce a Parkinsonian rat with a very discrete... 

TO, a 77-year-old male nursing home resident is admitted to the hospital with a 3-day history of altered mental status. The patient was unable to give a history or review of systems. On physical examination the vital signs revealed a blood pressure of 100/60 mm Hg, pulse 110 beats per minute, respirations 14/minutes, and a temperature of 101°F (38.3°C). Rales and dullness to percussion were noted at the posterior right base. The cardiac exam was significant for tachycardia. No edema was present. Laboratory studies included sodium 160 mEq/L (160 mmol/L), potassium 4.6 mEq/L (4.6 mmol/L), chloride 120 mEq/L (120 mmol/L), bicarbonate 30 mEq/L (30 mmol/L), glucose 104 mg/dL (5.77 mmol/L), BUN 34 mg/dL (12.14 mmol/L), and creatinine 2.2 mg/dL (194.5 pmol/L). The CBC was within normal limits. Chest x-ray indicated a right lower lobe pneumonia.

EXAMS - The Exposure Analyses Modeling System was developed at EPA by Burns, Cline, and Lassiter (2 ) The model is based on the conservation of the mass of a chemical within a dynamic aquatic environment. The following equation can be used to mathematically describe the model. 

Table VIII shows a sensitivity analysis on the EXAMS model. Changing the input load dramatically changes the concentration of chemical in both water and sediment. Photolysis rates appear to effect the model less than input loads. Changing the soil type effects the purification time of the system and not so much the water concentrations of the chemical indicating the influence of chemical adsorption to degradation.

In such reactions, a temperature exceeding 130°C has a dramatic effect on the catalytic activity. The pressure of hydrogen has a similar effect, with a large increase in activity above 30 bar. These catalysts did not exhibit the same selectivity for ketones. Osmium triphenylphosphine systems have been briefly exam-... 

The advantages that heterogeneous catalysts have is that they are easily separable from the product, and can be recycled. A number of studies have been conducted in which ligands have been attached or bound to polymeric material to provide an immobilized ligand, and these include polyacrylate and silica [27], polyurea [28], polythiourea [29], polyether [30, 31] and dendritic [32] systems. Upon metal coordination, the immobilized catalysts have retained most of the activity and selectivity, but they now provide the advantage of simple separation and recycling. For exam-... 

To show you that all this really does work, I ve listed the experimental composition data for the isopropyl/isobutyl alcohol system from Landolt-Bornstein (Landolt-Bomstein is to physical chemistry what Beilstein is to organic. And wouldn t that make for a wild analogy question on the college board entrance exams ), along with my calculated data (Table 2) (That explains my choice of temperatures for Table 1.). I ve also given the absolute and percent differences between the experimental data, and what I ve calculated. These differences are on the order of 1% or less, a very good agreement, indeed.

In this paper, the volatilization of five organophosphorus pesticides from model soil pits and evaporation ponds is measured and predicted. A simple environmental chamber is used to obtain volatilization measurements. The use of the two-film model for predicting volatilization rates of organics from water is illustrated, and agreement between experimental and predicted rate constants is evaluated. Comparative volatilization studies are described using model water, soil-water, and soil disposal systems, and the results are compared to predictions of EXAMS, a popular computer code for predicting the fate of organics in aquatic systems. Finally, the experimental effect of Triton X-100, an emulsifier, on pesticide volatilization from water is presented.

EXAMS (Exposure alysis Modeling stem) is an elaborate computer program that predicts the fate of organic chemicals in aquatic systems (24). Most input data can be easily measured, calculated, or obtained from literature sources. For this reason, the program is readily accessible to chemists for use as a predictive tool. 

In the present study, EXAMS was used to calculate volatilization rate constants from water, wet soil, and a water-soil mixture. EXAMS uses the two-film theory to calculate volatilization rates from the 10 cm wind speed as discussed above. EXAMS requires as a minimum environment at least one littoral (water) and one benthic (sediment) compartment. A very small benthic compartment for the water system and a very small littoral compartment for the wet soil system (7.09 x 10 m3 volume and 1 x 10 8 m depth in both cases) was used, so that these compartments and their input parameters had a negligible effect on the calculated rates. For the water-soil system, the same proportions were used as in the laboratory experiment. Transfer rates between soil and water were assumed to be rapid relative to volatilization rates, and were set as recommended in the EXAMS manual (24). The input data needed by EXAMS in order to calculate volatilization rates from a water-soil system, using parathlon as an example, are shown in Table IV. 

Percents volatilized in one day for the various media were calculated using initial pesticide amounts and the overall volatilization rate constants, obtained from the half life for volatilization as output by EXAMS. Mevlnphos results are not included here, for as discussed previously, methods for calculation used in EXAMS are not appropriate for water miscible compounds. The experimental and computer predicted percents volatilized in one day are qualitatively similar (Figure 2). Quantitatively, experimental and predicted percents volatilized agreed within a factor of three for diazlnon, methyl parathion, and malathion, and within a factor of five for parathion. Considering the fact that EXAMS was not intended for use with wet soil systems, these results are encouraging.

A simple environmental chamber is quite useful for obtaining volatilization data for model soil and water disposal systems. It was found that volatilization of low solubility pesticides occurred to a greater extent from water than from soil, and could be a major route of loss of some pesticides from evaporation ponds. Henry s law constants in the range studied gave good estimations of relative volatilization rates from water. Absolute volatilization rates from water could be predicted from measured water loss rates or from simple wind speed measurements. The EXAMS computer code was able to estimate volatilization from water, water-soil, and wet soil systems. Because of its ability to calculate volatilization from wind speed measurements, it has the potential of being applied to full-scale evaporation ponds and soil pits.
