Takai and coworkers have reported that the formation of alkyl-gem-dichromium compounds (269) can be achieved by the CrCk reduction of gem-diiodoalkanes (268 equation 90). These reagents add to aldehydes and affcnd alkylidenation products (271) and (272) efficiently and with high levels of ( )-al-...

Surdam et al. (1984) reported the results of a series of experiments in which feldspars were reacted with either acetic or oxalic acid. These experiments demonstrated high levels of Al in the filtrates, most notably when the reacting solutions contained between 10000 and 1000 ppm oxalic acid. Similar experiments were repeated using oxalic acid, with laumontite and with or without calcite. Only in those experiments where calcite was absent were there significant Al concentrations recorded in the final filtrate. In the... 

Table 3 provides typical specifications for isoprene that are suitable for Al—Ti polymerization (89). Traditional purification techniques including superfractionation and extractive distillation are used to provide an isoprene that is practically free of catalyst poisons. Acetylenes and 1,3-cyclopentadiene are the most difficult to remove, and distillation can be supplemented with chemical removal or partial hydrogenation. Generally speaking distillation is the preferred approach. Purity is not the main consideration because high quaUty polymer can be produced from monomer with relatively high levels of olefins and / -pentane. On the other hand, there must be less than 1 ppm of 1,3-cyclopentadiene. 

The sharp flash in the firefly bioluminescence reaction (Fig. 1.6) is due to the formation of a strongly inhibitory byproduct in the reaction. The inhibitor formed is dehydroluciferyl adenylate, having the structure shown below at left. In the presence of coenzyme A (CoA), however, this inhibitory adenylate is converted into dehydroluciferyl-CoA, a compound only weakly inhibitory to luminescence. Thus, an addition of CoA in the reaction medium results in a long-lasting, high level of luminescence (Airth et al., 1958 McElroy and Seliger, 1966 Ford et al., 1995 Fontes et al., 1997, 1998). 

Structure of Oxy-F Compound F is extremely unstable and is difficult to obtain at a level of purity suitable for NMR studies. However, an oxidation product, Oxy-F, formed when F is left standing at — 20° C, is considerably more stable than F and can be purified to a sufficiently high level of purity. Oxy-F is nonfluorescent and shows absorption maxima at 237 nm and 275 nm (shoulder). The high-resolution FAB mass spectrum indicated the molecular formula of Oxy-F to be C33H3809N4Na2 [m/z 703.2363 (M + Na)+ and 681.2483 (M + H)"1"]. The H and 13C NMR data allowed the assignment of structure 7 to oxy-F (Fig. 3.2.6 Nakamura et al., 1988).

One of six workers died 12 days after exposure to a mixture of half dimethyltin dichloride and half trimeth-yltin chloride vapour during cleaning of a cauldron at a chemical plant in Germany in 1981. Maximum exposure time was 1.5 h over a 3-day period no estimates of exposure concentration were made. Symptoms preceding death included excretion of high levels of tin in the urine, respiratory depression, and coma (Rey et al.,...
