Intervening with consequences

Although (6) does not refer to a different constitution, as did (5), it is incompatible with the coding techniques that have been used so far The math model developed up to this point does not contain structures with two bonds together — without an intervening atom consequently, until this part of the nomenclature is developed at a later time, alternation of atoms and bonds is required. Furthermore, such a scheme is not needed. A simple cyclic repetition conveys the desired bonding pattern of the monomer namely ... 

The mechanism of the reaction is believed to be that shown in equation (9), this bong a specific example of equation (1), with hydroperoxide anion being the reactive species. Detailed study has led to the proposal of various transition states at different pH values.However, the reaction may be carried out satisfactorily over a wide range of concentrations of base and hydrogen peroxide providing that the reaction mixture is kept alkaline, as otherwise radical reactions may intervene with deleterious stereochemical consequences. 

The possibility that vitamins might have physiological functions beyond the prevention of deficiency diseases was first recognized in 1955 with the finding (8) that niacin can affect semm cholesterol levels in humans. An explosion of research (9—11) in the intervening years has been aimed at estabUshing optimal vitamin levels and anticipating the health consequences. 

Chemistry can be divided (somewhat arbitrarily) into the study of structures, equilibria, and rates. Chemical structure is ultimately described by the methods of quantum mechanics equilibrium phenomena are studied by statistical mechanics and thermodynamics and the study of rates constitutes the subject of kinetics. Kinetics can be subdivided into physical kinetics, dealing with physical phenomena such as diffusion and viscosity, and chemical kinetics, which deals with the rates of chemical reactions (including both covalent and noncovalent bond changes). Students of thermodynamics learn that quantities such as changes in enthalpy and entropy depend only upon the initial and hnal states of a system consequently thermodynamics cannot yield any information about intervening states of the system. It is precisely these intermediate states that constitute the subject matter of chemical kinetics. A thorough study of any chemical reaction must therefore include structural, equilibrium, and kinetic investigations. 

Believing that consequences of not intervening wiil not be serious - you can get away with it.
