High Activity

Me0>2P(0)0CMe = CHC02Me. A trade name for a highly active systemic insecticide both CIS and trans isomers are active. 

C,flH2o02- White crystals, m.p. 168-171 °C. Prepared from deoxyanisoin by ethylation, conversion to the alcohol, dehydration and demethylation. It is an oestrogenic substance which is highly active when administered orally. It is used for treating menopausal symptoms, for the suppression of lactation and for treatment of cancer of the prostate. 

Sonoelectrochemistry has been employed in a number of fields such as in electroplating for the achievement of deposits and films of higher density and superior quality, in the deposition of conducting polymers, in the generation of highly active metal particles and in electroanalysis. Furtlienuore, the sonolysis of water to produce hydroxyl radicals can be exploited to initiate radical reactions in aqueous solutions coupled to electrode reactions. 

Ozone (O3), a highly active compound, is formed by the action of an electrical discharge or ultraviolet light on oxygen. 

PGAj derivatives can be obtained in relatively large amounts from gorgonian corals. Since PGAs are of little pharmaceutical interest, they are converted commercially to the highly active PGFj, and PGEj (G.L. Bundy, 1971, 1972). 

The simplest of all Diels-Alder reactions cycloaddition of ethylene to 1 3 butadi ene does not proceed readily It has a high activation energy and a low reaction rate Substituents such as C=0 or C=N however when directly attached to the double bond of the dienophile increase its reactivity and compounds of this type give high yields of Diels-Alder adducts at modest temperatures... 

A tail at the end of a chromatographic peak, usually due to the presence of highly active sites in the stationary phase. 

This situation seems highly probable for step-growth polymerization because of the high activation energy of many condensation reactions. The constants for the diffusion-dependent steps, which might be functions of molecular size or the extent of the reaction, cancel out. 

Progress in the field received further impetus with the development of synthetic steroids exhibiting activities far greater than that of the natural hormones. The synthesis of 9 a-fluorocortisol (3), described in 1953 by Fried and Sabo (3), opened the way for development of many more highly active antiinflammatory agents, and indeed some of today s most active antiinflammatory agents (ca 1997) bear some resemblance to this 9a-fluorinated steroid. 

Propylene Oxidation. The propylene oxidation process is attractive because of the availabihty of highly active and selective catalysts and the relatively low cost of propylene. The process proceeds in two stages giving first acrolein and then acryUc acid (39) (see Acrolein and derivatives). 

C and 19,600 kPa (2800 psi). The catalyst is a complex aluminum—ca dmium —chromium oxide that has high activity and exceptionally long life. The process is claimed to give a conversion of ester to alcohol of about 99% retaining essentially all of the original double bonds. 

There is a significant difference in the toxicological effects of saturated and unsaturated afiphatic aldehydes. As can be seen in Table 6, the presence of the double bond considerably enhances toxicity. The precautions for handling reactive unsaturated aldehydes such as acrolein, methacrolein [78-85-3] and crotonaldehyde should be the same as those for handling other highly active eye and pulmonary irritants, as, for example, phosgene. 

Steam reforming of CH is commonly carried out at 750 to 900°C, thus at the lower operating temperature of MCFCs a high activity catalyst is required. The internal reforming of methane in IRMCFCs, where the steam-reforming reaction... 

Commercial Stabilizers. There are six lead salts and soaps that typically are used in the commercial PVC stabilizers. The lead stearate soaps are often combined with the lead salts to provide lubrication and added stabilizer activity. The key to the high activity of these stabilizers is the very high lead content. Table 5 describes six commonly used lead stabilizers. 

Biorational approaches have proven useful in the development of classes of herbicides which inhibit essential metaboHc pathways common to all plants and thus are specific to plants and have low toxicity to mammalian species. Biorational herbicide development remains a high risk endeavor since promising high activities observed in the laboratory may be nullified by factors such as limitations in plant uptake and translocation, and the instabiHty or inactivity of biochemical en2yme inhibitors under the harsher environmental conditions in the field. Despite these recogni2ed drawbacks, biorational design of herbicides has shown sufficient potential to make the study of herbicide modes of action an important and growing research area. 

Astemi2ole (10) has further been modified into a series of 4-phenylcyclohexylamine compounds, resulting in the synthesis of cabastine, for example. Cabastine is a highly active compound and its geometric isomers are also active, demonstrating the stereoselectivity of histamine receptors toward chiral ligands. The > S, 4 R-levo antipode of cabastine was the most active, and therefore this isomer, levocabastine (13), has been chosen for further development. Because of high potency, levocabastine has been developed for topical appHcation such as eye drops and nasal spray.
