We recognized at the outset of our studies that the synthetic challenge in achieving a direct synthesis of complanadine A would be to identify ways to exploit two molecules of lycodine or a closely related precursor. With appropriately positioned functional handles (at C2 and C3, respectively see 36 and 37, Scheme 11.5), the coupling of the pyridine moieties would yield the complanadine skeleton. 

In the electrolysis plant of Akzo Nobel in Rotterdam a hypochlorite production unit is in operation. This unit has two functions handling chlorine-containing waste gases from the plant and production of hypochlorite. The reaction is carried out in a two-step apparatus in which a liquid jet-loop reactor and a packed column are in series. In this way chlorine is converted to hypochlorite and emissions of chlorine to the atmosphere are avoided. 

Creates a function handle, so that functions can be passed to MATLAB function m files as variables are. 

Note that the above program works for both endothermic reactions (/ < 0) and exothermic reactions (/ > 0) and that only exothermic reactions can have multiple steady states. The built-in MATLAB root finder fzero finds the roots of a function / from a starting guess a if we call fzero( /,a,.. . ), i.e., if we attach the function handle to / and follow this with the appropriate list of parameters in MATLAB. 

Several di-dienes have been successfully utilized in copolymerization reactions with di-dienophiles. The diene 2-hydroxymethylbutadiene offers a functional handle by which two butadiene portions may be linked to form a di-diene (5). Copolymerization reactions of these di-dienes with a series of fcis-maleimides and quinone in refluxing dime-thylformamide afford Diels-Alder polymers with a range of physical properties. 

An alternative method has been developed by Tirrell et al. [94-96] and involves the substitution of a natural amino acid with a close structural analogue. This method uses bacterial auxotrophs, which are bacteria that have lost the ability to produce one of the natural amino acids. These bacteria are dependent on the medium for their supply of this amino acid and, therefore, if an analogue is added to the medium it can be incorporated instead. The introduction of azido and acetylene analogues of methionine has also led to the presence of bio-orthogonal functional handles that allow further modification of the proteins. However, this methodology has not yet been extended to the incorporation of synthetic polymers. 

The use of TEMPO to effect oxidative demercuration was originally demonstrated by Whitesides [16], and is attractive because it gives a functional handle for further structural elaboration. This technique was invoked by Kang in the syntheses of (-t-)-lactacystin and (-l-)-furanomycin [17]. For example, alkene 10 was subjected to mercurioamidation conditions to afford the cyclized organomercury intermediate 11 (Scheme 4). Treatment with lithium borohydride in the presence of TEMPO forms the unstable organomercury hydride. This fragments to release the primary carbon radical, which is trapped by TEMPO to yield the masked alcohol product 12, an intermediate in the synthesis of the neurotropic factor (-l-)-lactacystin.

In the first case (path A), a,p-unsaturated lactams 56 were accessed from substrates of type 57 using RCM. In this route, the amide nitrogen was protected as a benzyloxy group. This benzyloxy protecting group provided an inbuilt access to the pyridine oxidation level via elimination after RCM. The lactam carbonyl moiety could also be transformed into a triflate group (R = OTQ, which is a useful functional handle for further functionalization of the target pyridine 55. In the second case (path B), cylic enones of type 58... 

Switchable biosensors could be designed starting from Seoul-Fluor (Figure 30), an indolizine scaffold with three positions for different radicals R1 and R2 substituents affect electronic perturbation R3 could be a functional handle for bioconjugation, thus creating a versatile platform with tuneable emission wavelength and controllable quantum yield [65]. 

Hart s approach toward the stemona alkaloids stenine serves to illustrate a common strategy for the further transformation of the unsaturated amide (Scheme 7.28) [57]. Rearrangement of 76 followed by treatment of product 77 with iodine in aqueous THF afforded iodolactone 78, which was then converted into the natural product using the iodine substituent as a functional handle to introduce an ethyl side chain. Wipf used a similar strategy involving a selenolactoniza-tion to synthesize tuberostenine [58]. 

Following their work with PTS, the Lipshutz group [118] reported a designer surfactant (PQS-132), shown in Figure 5.29, which contains a free phenolic OH group that can serve as a functional handle. The intention was to incorporate all of the benefits of the above PTS system, along with the ability to perform continuous batch processing. The first report of this involved the functionalization of 132...
