Thienothiophenes undergo the indophenine reaction with isatin (see Section III,I). Oster reported that thieno[2,3-6]thiophene (1) gave a green product with a ratio of isatin to thienothiophene 1 1, and a blue substance with the ratio of the initial substances 2 1. Steinkopf and HempeP could not obtain this blue substance instead they isolated a brown material with the isatin to thienothiophene 1 ratio 2 3 at +50° they isolated a substance with the ratio 1 1 and at +70°, with ratio 1 2. Steinkopf and PetersdorP found that a reaction of 2-acetylthieno[2,3-6]thiophene with isatin produces 2- or 3-(2-thieno[2,3-6]thienyl) cinchoninic acid. The acid was decarboxylated to 2- or 3 2-thieno[2,3-6]thienyl)quinoline (the site of quinoline group in thienothiophene 1 molecule was not established). 

At daybreak, Santa Maria initiated me as a Mazatec. She rubbed a green, earthy substance into my arms, chanted, and proclaimed me her son. But we could no longer communicate with one another by words, only sign language. 

Early work on flavinogenic ascomycetes by Masuda afforded a green fluorescent substance (initially designated G-compound), which was identified as 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine that is structurally similar to riboflavin, although the benzenoid ring is missing.Subsequent work showed that the compound could be... 

Push one end of a length of 20 cm. of stout copper wire into a cork (this wUl serve as a holder) at the other end make two or three turns about a thin glass rod. Heat the coil in the outer mantle of a Bunsen dame until it ceases to impart any colour to the dame. Allow the wire to cool somewhat and, while still warm, dip the coil into a small portion of the substance to be tested and heat again in the non-luminous dame. If the compound contains a halogen element, a green or bluish-green dame will be observed (usually after the initial smoky dame has disappeared). Before using the wire for another compound, heat it until the material from the previous test has been destroyed and the dame is not coloured. 

Bromcresol green is frequently used for the quantitation of albumin, to which it binds selectively at pH 4.2 with a resulting increase in absorbance at 630 nm. The dye is initially a yellow colour but the resulting protein-dye complex is an intense blue colour (Figure 11.12). The method is relatively specific for albumin, bromcresol green being able to displace most substances that may be initially bound to the protein molecule. 

Similarly, the various EU directives that mandate substance bans have initiated wide scale research and development of alternative materials. Lead is a case in point. Lead has been widely used in the electronic industry in solders. Lead-free solders have existed for many years but it was the mandate in the Restriction of use of certain Flazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) to have products free of lead by July 2006 that spurred industry research, planning and adoption of the substitutes. Annex I lists examples of Green Chemistry case studies where research was stimulated in response to legislation targeting hazardous materials. 

Over a period of many years, there has been a steady trend in the global FR wire and cable market toward increased sustainability and environmentally sound wire and cable materials. This is manifest in terms of green solutions, sustainability, end-of-life issues (such as recycling), and increasing scrutiny of hazardous substances. Because these are not unique to the wire and cable industry, a detailed discussion of these various initiatives is beyond the scope of this document. 

The radical crystallizes from benzene as a green 1 1 complex, m.p. 231-233°, or without solvent from acetic acid as brown needles, m.p. 188-191°. It is highly dissociated but remarkably stable to oxygen. In fact the original paper describing the substance and submitted by Koelsch in 1932 was initially rejected because a referee held that the properties were not those of a radical. Of the available radicals, BDPA was found to be the most suitable as a radical scavenger in the decomposition of cyclohexylformyl and isobutyryl peroxides. ...
