Iodide quenching

Global compartmental analysis can be used to recover association and dissociation rate constants in some specific cases when the lifetimes are much shorter than the lifetimes for the association and dissociation processes. An example is the study for the binding dynamics of 2-naphthol (34, Scheme 14) with / -CD.207 Such an analysis is possible only if the observed lifetimes change with CD concentration and at least one of the decay parameters is known independently, in this case the lifetime of the singlet excited state of 33 (5.3 ns). From the analysis the association and dissociation rate constants, as well as intrinsic decay rate constants and iodide quenching rate constants, were recovered. The association and dissociation rate constants were found to be 2.5 x 109M-1 s 1 and 520 s 1, respectively.207... 

Metalation of the phenyl-substituted cis-aziridine 25 followed by methyl iodide quench afforded the tricyclic isothiazole 1,1-dioxide 26 as a single diastereoisomer in 75% yield. The reaction was proposed to proceed via metalation of the benzylic position of the aziridine, rather than the position a to the silicon. Subsequent intramolecular attack of the benzylic anion 27 at the tosyl group ortho to the sulfonyl group gave 28 which was trapped with Mel to give the single diastereoisomer 26, whose structure was confirmed by X-ray analysis <02JOC2335>. 

In these devices no other known redox couple works nearly as well. Although in solution I is capable of quenching reductively the excited state of many dyes (Eq. (25)), on a semiconductor surface such as Sn02 and Ti02, the iodide quenching is not able to compete kinetically with the ultrafast charge injection [89]. 

Table 4. Fluorescence properties and accessibility of the tryptophan residues of [Nle15j-gastrin-17 and the lipo-gastrin derivative (DM-gastrin), of [Nle.Thr]-CCK-9 and DM-CCK to iodide quenching a) the relative error on ksv amounts to 3%.

The situation with 1,2,3,4-tetrahalobenzenes and Grignard reagents is somewhat more complex. The major products ca 50% yield) from 642 and unhindered aryl Grignards were 1,2,3-triarylbenzenes 643, with minor amounts of diarylbenzene 644 For example, the novel polyphenyl 645 was synthesized in one step and 30% overall yield from 642 (X = Br, Y = Cl) and 4-biphenylylmagnesium bromide, with a methyl iodide quench. However, with the hindered mesitylmagnesium bromide, the product was the 1,2,4-trimesitylbenzene, not the 1,2,3-isomer. 

Iodide quenching experiment performed on membrane-bound-a-toxin induces a Stem-Volmer plot with a negative deviation from linearity and gives for fa and Ksv values equal to 0.78 and 2.96 M, respectively. These results suggest that most of the buried tryptophan residues of a-toxin in the soluble form are exposed to the iodide and thus to the solvent in the membrane-bound form. Therefore, upon binding to the membrane, a-toxin would display a modification in its tertiary stmcture. 

The Stem-Volmer plots of the fluorescence quenching of the aminoteiminal residue in dermenkephalin and [L-Met ] deimenkephalin by iodide ai e shown in Fig. 5.13. Fluorescence of Tyr in (L-Met ] DREK and that of free L-tyrosine are quenched identically by iodide (Ksv = 19.817 0.025 and 19.298 0.030 M for L-tyrosine and [L-Met ] DREK), respectively (Fig. 5.13a and b). Since iodide quenches tyrosine residue fluorescence within a spatial proximity, the similar values found for Ksv indicates the absence of any matrix siuTounding the tyrosyl side chain. By contrast, the dynamic constant is lower for DREK (Ksv = 13.37 0.02 M (Fig. 5.13c.). 

A slurry of 2 (0.2472 g, 35.6 mmol of lithium 5.9647 g, 46.5 mmol of naphthalene 1.9765g, 15.4mmol of cobalt chloride) was prepared, and the product washed once with glyme. It was then reacted in 25 ml of glyme with 4.5955 g (22.5 mmol) of phenyl iodide. Quenches were taken periodically by withdrawing 1 ml samples and treating the samples with two drops of IM HCl. The samples were then quantitatively analyzed by GC with use of -dodecane as an internal standard and application of response factor corrections. After 1 min, 59% of the phenyl iodide remained. After 20h (last 3h at reflux), 61% remained. No biphenyl was observed until the reaction mixture was refluxed, after which an 11% yield of that compound was found.
