The transmetallation of various organometallic compounds (Hg, Tl, Sn, B, Si, etc.) with Pd(II) generates the reactive cr-aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl Pd compounds. These carbopalladation products can be used without isolation for further reactions. Pd(II) and Hg(II) salts have similar reactivity toward alkenes and aromatic compounds, but Hg(II) salts form stable mercuration products with alkenes and aromatic rings. The mercuration products are isolated and handled easily. On the other hand, the corresponding palladation products are too reactive to be isolated. The stable mercuration products can be used for various reactions based on facile transmetallation with Pd(II) salts to generate the very reactive palladation products 399 and 400 in rim[364,365]. 

Intramolecular addition reactions are quite common when radicals are generated in molecules with unsaturation in a sterically favorable position. Cyclization reactions based on intramolecular addition of radical intermediates have become synthetically useful, and several specific cases will be considered in Section 10.3.4 of Part B.

If kinetic resolution is being studied, the ratio of pseudo-e nantiomers can be measured by MS, allowing for the determination of ee-values (and/or of selectivity factors E). The same applies to the reaction of pseudo prochiral compounds. This system has been used successfully in the directed evolution of enantioselective enzymes. However, it should work equally well in the case of asymmetric transition metal catalyzed reactions. In the original version about 1,000 ee-deter-minations were possible per day (Figure 6).94 The second-generation version based on an 8-channel multiplexed spray system enables about 10,000 samples to be handled per day, the sensitivity being 2% ee.96... 

In the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, in which current-generating reactions are based on a "rocking chair" mechanism, the ions of lithium shift back and forth between the intercalation hosts of the cathode and anode. The... 

This equipment could be used for chemical reactions based on a strong solid-gas interaction with gas adsorbed on powder such as limited air oxidation or with gas release (water, ammonia) such as esterification. The oversized applicator structure permits the design of dielectric pipe to manage such matter transfers. This equipment can be also used for many reactions on solid supports. A typical unit is powered with microwave generators units of 2 or 6 kW for a total microwave power close to 20 or 60 kW. 

Figure 6.7 illustrates the voltammetric response of the third-generation SOD-based 02 biosensors with Cu, Zn-SOD confined onto cystein-modified Au electrode as an example. The presence of 02" in solution essentially increases both the cathodic and anodic peak currents of the SOD compared with its absence [150], Such a redox response was not observed at the bare Au or cysteine-modified Au electrodes in the presence of 02". The observed increase in the anodic and cathodic current response of the Cu, Zn-SOD/cysteine-modified Au electrode in the presence of 02 can be considered to result from the oxidation and reduction of 02, respectively, which are effectively mediated by the SOD confined on the electrode as shown in Scheme 3. Such a bi-directional electromediation (electrocatalysis) by the SOD/cysteine-modified Au electrode is essentially based on the inherent specificity of SOD for the dismutation of 02", i.e. SOD catalyzes both the reduction of 02 to H202 and the oxidation to 02 via a redox cycle of its Cu (II/I) complex moiety as well as the direct electron transfer of SOD realized at the cysteine-modified Au electrode. Thus, this coupling between the electrode and enzyme reactions of SOD could facilitate the development of the third-generation biosensor for 02". ...

The pH optimum of HRP is around pH 5. Therefore, this would be the pH of choice. Unfortunately this is not the optimal pH for the light-generating reaction (the general base-catalyzed reaction of acridinium ester with hydrogen peroxide). An acridan ester like GZ-11 with a leaving group of low pKa (perfluoro-ferf-butanol has a pKa below 6) is clearly advantageous. 

Different procedures have been developed to generate thiodisaccharides, based on two strategies (a) generation of a glycosylthiol 44 and reaction with an electrophilic centre on the second sugar 45, (b) replacement of an -OH of the sugar with an -SH and reaction with a glycosyl donor 46 (Fig. 22). 

While anodic amide oxidations have found the most synthetic use to date, the oxidation of nitrogen-containing molecules is not limited to amide substrates. A variety of amine oxidations have been studied, and the Kolbe electrolysis of carboxylic acids has been used to generate nitrogen-based reactive intermediates. Many of these reactions also offer unique synthetic advantages (Sects. 10.2 and 10.3).
