The mechanism of subcritical crack growth is the reaction of the corrosive medium with highly stressed bonds at the crack tip. In siUca, in the absence of stressed bonds, the rate of the reaction between the bonds and corrosive media such as water is very low. The introduction of strain energy into crack tip bonds increases the activity of the bond. For siUca glass in water, attack and bond breakage occurs by the following reaction (47) ... 

The introduction of alkyl groups into steroids is generally achieved by means of the following types of reactions between Grignard reagents and ketones or epoxides. 

The most versatile method for preparing enamines involves the condensation of aldehydes and ketones with secondary amines [Eq. (1)]. Mannich and Davidsen (/) discovered that the reaction of secondary amines with aldehydes in the presence of potassium carbonate and at temperatures near 0° gave enamines, while calcium oxide and elevated temperatures were required to cause a reaction between ketones and secondary amines, although usually in poor yield. The introduction by Herr and Heyl 2-4) of the removal of the water produced in the condensation by azeotropic distillation with benzene made possible the facile preparation of enamines from ketones and disubstituted aldehydes. 

Many reactions proceed quite slowly when the reactants are mixed alone but can be made to take place much more rapidly by the introduction of other substances. These latter substances, called catalysts, are not used up in the reaction. The process of increasing the rate of a reaction through the use of a catalyst is referred to as catalysis. You have seen at least one example of catalytic action, the effect of Mn+2(aq) in speeding up the reaction between CzO YaqJ and MnO Yaqj. 

The most recent major expln in a US TNT plant occurred in May 1974 at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant. The accident completely destroyed one of the three continuous nitration lines at the plant. According to the AMC News, Sept 1974, the investigation board reported that an operator inadvertently introduced a 5 to 6-foot rubber hose to clean out unwanted material that had collected in a transfer line leading to the nitrator, when the hose was pulled from his hands into the nitrator. This resulted in a rapid temp rise and subsequent explosion. The hose was commonly used in this manner . The material causing the blockage in the transfer line was believed to be an oxidation product of TNT, 2,2 -dicarboxy-3,3, 5,5,-tetra-nitroazoxybenzene, also referred to as White Compound. The introduction of the rubber hose caused a rapid, exothermic oxidation reaction between the hose material and the mixed acid present. The heat generated by this reaction caused a local acceleration of the normal nitration/oxidation reactions which occur in the nitrator until a critical temp was reached, at which point rapid oxidation of DNT/TNT proceeded as a runaway reaction, igniting the material present in the vessel. 

One of the best methods for the introduction of iodine into aromatic rings is the reaction of diazonium salts with iodide ions. Analogous reactions with chloride, bromide, and fluoride ions give poorer results, and 14-25 and 13-20 are preferred for the preparation of aryl chlorides, bromides, and fluorides. However, when other diazonium reactions are carried out in the presence of these ions, halides are usually side products. Aniline has also been converted to fluorobenzene by treatment with t-BuONO and Sip4 followed by heating. A related reaction between PhN=N—N C4Hg and iodine gave iodobenzene. ... 

The term Diels-Alder reaction in a general sense refers to the reaction between a diene and a dienophile. Retro Diels-Alder reaction is a process that, under certain conditions, produces diene and olefin or a compound containing a C=C bond. The application of flash vacuum pyrolysis to effect the retro Diels-Alder reaction, as shown in Schemes 5-46 and 5-47, has become the standard procedure since the introduction of the method by Stork et al.74 in the 1970s. Therefore, alkenes that are difficult to access by conventional methods may be obtained via retro Diels-Alder reactions.75 In particular, this reaction allows the preparation of thermodynamically less stable compounds such as 4,5-dialkyl cyclopenta-2-en-one. In this case, the alkene functional group can be regarded as being protected by cyclopentadiene (as shown in 154 or 157), which, after subsequent reaction, can easily be removed through quick pyrolysis. 

In the following sections the effect of pressure on different types of electron-transfer processes is discussed systematically. Some of our work in this area was reviewed as part of a special symposium devoted to the complementarity of various experimental techniques in the study of electron-transfer reactions (124). Swaddle and Tregloan recently reviewed electrode reactions of metal complexes in solution at high pressure (125). The main emphasis in this section is on some of the most recent work that we have been involved in, dealing with long-distance electron-transfer processes involving cytochrome c. However, by way of introduction, a short discussion on the effect of pressure on self-exchange (symmetrical) and nonsymmetrical electron-transfer reactions between transition metal complexes that have been reported in the literature, is presented. 

In 1990, Choudary [139] reported that titanium-pillared montmorillonites modified with tartrates are very selective solid catalysts for the Sharpless epoxidation, as well as for the oxidation of aromatic sulfides [140], Unfortunately, this research has not been reproduced by other authors. Therefore, a more classical strategy to modify different metal oxides with histidine was used by Moriguchi et al. [141], The catalyst showed a modest e.s. for the solvolysis of activated amino acid esters. Starting from these discoveries, Morihara et al. [142] created in 1993 the so-called molecular footprints on the surface of an Al-doped silica gel using an amino acid derivative as chiral template molecule. After removal of the template, the catalyst showed low but significant e.s. for the hydrolysis of a structurally related anhydride. On the same fines, Cativiela and coworkers [143] treated silica or alumina with diethylaluminum chloride and menthol. The resulting modified material catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and methacrolein with modest e.s. (30% e.e.). As mentioned in the Introduction, all these catalysts are not yet practically important but rather they demonstrate that amorphous metal oxides can be modified successfully. 

C-C bond formation using the Heck reaction allows the introduction of functional groups to obtain new organic structures on solid supports. This reaction between an alkene with an alkenyl or an aryl halide has been widely employed in various in-tra- and inter-molecular versions on solid-phase because of the readily accessibility of starting materials. The Heck reaction was performed on immobilized aryl or alkenyl halides with soluble alkenes and vice versa (Scheme 3.11). 

To prevent the latter mentioned subsequent reactions, the bulky phos-phaalkyne Ph C P as well as tungsten alkoxides of reduced size as, e.g., [W2(ONp)6] were employed in these three-component reactions with no significant success [15]. The crucial steps for the side-product free synthesis of the phosphido complexes 18 are the introduction of a phosphaalkyne possessing a moderate steric bulkiness, which lies between those of f-BuC=P and Ph C P, and resulting from the P-NMR studies (cf. Eq. 5), a reaction temperature mode allowing the complete metathesis reaction to take place at very low temperatures over a long period of time until all the phosphaalkyne has been converted into the metathesis products (about 12 h) only then is the reaction mixture allowed to reach room temperature. We found that MesC=P meets these steric requirements, and the three-component-reaction between MesC=P, [W2(Of-Bu)6] and [M(CO)5(thf)] (M = Cr, W), carried out at -78 °C and warmed up to ambient temperature within 15 h, succeeded in the synthesis and isolation of the phosphido complex 18a,b (Scheme 2) [15]. Furthermore, if t-BuC=P is incorporated into these reactions, the steric requirements of the alkoxide dimer has to be slightly increased. Thus, f-BuC=P reacts with [W2(OPh )6] and [M(CO)5(thf)] (M=Cr, W) under the... 

Reaction between 79 and formamidine (Scheme 25) gave not 5-methyl-adenine (105), but a rearranged product (106). MINDO/3 calculations show that the two rings in 105 deviate considerably from coplanarity, with loss of conjugation and introduction of strain. Computed bond distances and...
