Sequence inversion and racemization have been associated with uncatalyzed formation of the cyclic dipeptides and has been shown to greatly complicate the kinetics of formation. Cyclic dipeptide formation, by uncatalyzed processes, is rapid enough to pose an apparent threat to the stability of proteins and a possible rationale for the posttranslational N-acetylation of proteins that have been observed in higher organisms. The rate of DKP formation will also depend on the carbonyl ester protecting groups or the structures of the peptide-resin linkage in the solid-phase mode. Furthermore, cyclization is a concentration-independent reaction and demands the use of dilute solutions. ... 

An example of termination by formation cyclic trimers is reported in a recent publication by Shashoua et al. (12 a) describing anionic polymerization of mono-isonitriles to nylons-1. The trimerisation competes with further propagation steps and seems to be favored by higher temperature. 

There are very few examples of sulfur-carbon bond formation. Cyclic sulfinamides 204 (R = R = H) can be obtained through intramolecular homolytic substitution from 442 using classical tributyltin hydride conditions. An alkylsulfinamide which demonstrates the ability to cyclize in such conditions affording 443 is PhSe(CH2)3NHCOCMe3 <2006AGE633>. 

Polymerizations via the hydroxyl group of 3,3-bis(hydroxymethyl) thietane have been used to prepare polyurethanes " and polyethers. " Tin derivatives are stabilizers for poly(vinyl chloride) as well as being used in polyurethane formation. Cyclic carbonate derivatives are homo- or copolymerized to high-molecular-weight solids. The methacrylate ester of 3-hydroxythietane has been copolymerized with methyl methacrylate. ...

A large number of target-drug-molecules invariably contain cyclic skeletons that could be either aromatic or heterocyclic in nature. Therefore, such specific reactions that help in the formation cyclic structures play a vital role in synthetic medicinal chemistry. These ringforming reactions are usually referred to as annelation reactions. 

Furthermore, due to the absence of the slow CO2 uptake process by MgC03 formation, cyclic steady state was reached rapidly, which is important for a PSA type of process. For the new sorbent, cyclic steady state was reached within a few cycles (see Figure 6.8), whereas for the reference sorbent, it took several hundred cycles to reach cychc steady state. 

Dian et al. [334] reported the electrochemical polymerization of 3-substituted and 3-,4-disubstituted selenophenes in acetonitrile saturated with lithium perchlorate. Two methods were used to study systematically the influence of the substituents on polymer formation cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The film formation process is greatly influenced by the electronic and steric effects of the substituents. For example, electron donating groups such as methyl and methoxy substituents appear to stabilize the radical cation intermediates, diminish the oxidation potential, and therefore allow polymer formation. The presence of halogen substituents raises the oxidation potential and does not lead to polymeric films. The conductivities of polyselenophene derivatives are quite low. For example, oxidized poly-3-methyl-selenophene and poly-3,4-dimethyl-selenophene have conductivities around 9 x 10 and 6 x 10" S cm", respectively.
