IMAGINE suite

Speed manufacturers need only look at the molecules and imagine them without those extra OHs or methylenedioxy ring structures attached to the benzene core. These particular pathways are, however, more uniquely suited for X precursor production because they take advantage of the hindrance that methylenedioxy ring structures and OHs provide on one side of the benzene core. This helps to better assure that mono chloromethylations or bro-minations will occur whereas di- and tri-substitutions are possible on a naked benzene molecule which speed chemists are going to be using (please don t ask). 

A large man wearing a Secret Service-style radio earpiece and dressed in a black suit with a hundred-dollar haircut is standing dead center in front of the entrance with his finger pointing at you. The man is at least six feet five, 250 pounds, with a neck twice the thickness of yours, and a nose that has been broken more times than you care to imagine. He seems one part football player and one part weight lifter. No one enters the White House, he says. 

Essentially, any technique applicable to the measurement of physicochemical properties of compounds may be considered for the study of reaction rates, and it is up to the imagination of the researcher to exploit the principles behind the technique and devise an experimental method. A number of extremely useful electrochemical techniques are covered in Chapter 6, and Chapter 8 includes a very promising new method combining calorimetric and FTIR measurements. Mass spectrometry, a field in constant development and with an abundant literature, is ideally suited for the study of wide-ranging reaction types in the gas phase, including those related to atmospheric investigations, but is beyond the scope of this chapter. 

NR is a tool that has yet to capture the imaginations of bioelectrochemists despite several examples of successful implementation of the technique. NR provides a unique means to study soft interfaces under potential control and its remarkable sensitivity to water is ideally suited for structural studies of supported phospholi-...
