The risk of severe neurotoxic reactions is sharply increased in patients with impaired renal function or prerenal azotemia. These include disturbances of vestibular and cochlear function, optic nerve dysfunction, peripheral neuritis, arachnoiditis, and encephalopathy. The incidence of clinically detectable, irreversible vestibular damage is particularly high in patients treated with streptomycin. 

Preparation of Highly Functionalized, Optically Active Pyrrolidines, Piperidines, Carbocycles and Tetrahydrofurans... 

This is the first stereospecific cleavage of a Si—Si bond by an alkali metal. Functional optically active disilanes were first prepared in 1967 by Sommer et al.528, 529, and the optically active isomers were successfully separated. 

SAFETY PROFILE Poison by ingestion. Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. Human systemic effects by ingestion change in central nervous system electrical function, optic nerve damage, and changes in vision. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. Human mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Cl", I", and NOx. 

On the other hand, Beaulieu et al. have reported the synthesis of unusually functionalized optically active p-substituted p-amino acids via the highly diastereoselective... 

Another approach is cocrystallization of a substituted urea (host) and a diacetylene (guest) [48]. Substituted ureas are used to prepare layered diacetylene crystals. Two examples are shown in Scheme 21. Such a host-guest/cocrystal approach to supramolecular synthesis should be general. In this strategy, the host is used to control the structure and the guest provides the function (optical, electrical, chemical, or physical). 

Resolution of functional optically active silicon compounds was not actually reported until 1959. L. H. Sommer, Stereochemistry, Mechanism and Silicon , McGraw-Hill, New York, 1965. 

The best known realizations are optodes for penicillin [206, 209, 210], urea [211], and glucose [212]. A very sophisticated version of these sensors [213] uses functionalized optical nbers to which biotin is covalently bound. To this affinant, using the biotin-avidin system, the enzyme (penicillinase, esterase, urease) is connected, itself covalently bearing the indicator. The slopes of the calibration graphs for these optodes depend on the surrounding pH value and the buffer capacity however, linear responses are obtained for 0.1-10 mM substrate concentrations.

We will now take a closer look at the static part of the Green s function optical Hamiltonian... 

In position space the interaction part of the static Green s function optical Hamiltonian (or the static self energy) reads... 

First we note that the matrices cancel with their inverse in Eq. (109), leaving the same single-particle part as for the Green s function optical potential. The interaction part however, differs from its Green s function analogue of Eq. (107) by involving the two-particle density...

Asymmetric synthesis of 8-functionalized optically active secondary alcohols was realized hy TarB-N02-catalyzed enantios-elective reduction of a-halo ketones to an intermediate terminal epoxide and sequential ring opening with various nucleophiles. Optically active st)Tene oxide was prepared from a-bromoacetophenone with NaBH4 and TarB-N02 in high yield and with high enantioselectivity (98% 3ueld and 94% ee). fi-Functionalized secondary alcohols could be obtained from the epoxides by nucleophilic attack under appropriate conditions (eq41).
