Full hydrolysis

High quality SAMs of alkyhrichlorosilane derivatives are not simple to produce, mainly because of the need to carefully control the amount of water in solution (126,143,144). Whereas incomplete monolayers are formed in the absence of water (127,128), excess water results in facile polymerization in solution and polysiloxane deposition of the surface (133). Extraction of surface moisture, followed by OTS hydrolysis and subsequent surface adsorption, may be the mechanism of SAM formation (145). A moisture quantity of 0.15 mg/100 mL solvent has been suggested as the optimum condition for the formation of closely packed monolayers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps) studies confirm the complete surface reaction of the —SiCl3 groups, upon the formation of a complete SAM (146). Infrared spectroscopy has been used to provide direct evidence for the full hydrolysis of methylchlorosilanes to methylsilanoles at the solid/gas interface, by surface water on a hydrated silica (147). 

Bismuth alkoxide complexes are easily hydrolyzed and complex bismuth oxo-aUcoxide compounds may result as intermediates to full hydrolysis. A number of examples of these are known for the pentafluorophenox-ide system and include Bi4(/u.4-0)(/u.-0C6F5)6 /x3-0Bi(/x-0C6F5)3 2 2(C6H5CH3), Bi8(/r,4-0)2(M-3-0)2(M,-OC6F5)l6,... 

The original cellulases used in denim washing were the crude enzymes of Trichoderma and Humicola, referred to as acid and neutral cellulase, respectively, based on the optimum pH range of use of the enzymes, which was pH 4 to 5 for the acid cellulase and 6 to 7 for the neutral cellulase. The Trichoderma cellulase, comprising the more complete set of EG and CBH components capable of the full hydrolysis of cellulose, works more quickly and is capable of a greater degree of abrasion and fading of the blue dye color than the Humicola cellulase. The Trichoderma cellulase also achieves certain desired finishes (appearances) that the Humicola cellulase does not. 

One-pot synthesis of (10a). The reactants were added to a reaction vial in the following order 2-iodoanisole (0.60 mmol), enol ether (8) (0.78 mmol, 0.152 g), Pd(OAc)2 (0.018 mmol, 0.004 g), NaOAc (0.72 mmol, 0.059 g), lithium chloride (1.20 mmol, 0.051 g), potassium carbonate (0.72 mmol, 0.100 g), DMF (2 mL) and water (0.2 mL). The tube was closed and the contents were magnetically stirred and heated for 24 hours at 70°C. The reaction was interrupted when GC-MS analysis showed no further improvements in conversion of (8). After cooling, 0.5 mL concentrated HC1 was added and the contents stirred for 30 minutes. After full hydrolysis of (9a) (GC-MS) the reaction mixture was diluted with 10 mL 0.5 M HC1 and extracted five times with diethyl ether. The ethereal phases were washed twice with 0.1 M sodium hydroxide and dried with potassium carbonate (solid).

After crosslinking, the treated porous preforms are subjected to a hydrolysis process to revert the crosslinked silyl HA-CTA to hydrophilic, crosslinked HA. The hydrolysis procedure involves placing the treated preforms in a solution of NaCl in ethanol. The precise procedure depends on the size and shape of the sample and is simply performed long enough to ensure full hydrolysis. Zhang and James confirmed that the hydrolysis procedure reverted the silyl HA-CTA back to native HA using FTIR [80], and later studies confirmed full hydrolysis of the preforms using XPS [83].
