The PMBs, when treated with electrophilic reagents, show much higher reaction rates than the five lower molecular weight homologues (benzene, toluene, (9-, m- and -xylene), because the benzene nucleus is highly activated by the attached methyl groups (Table 2). The PMBs have reaction rates for electrophilic substitution ranging from 7.6 times faster (sulfonylation of durene) to ca 607,000 times faster (nuclear chlorination of durene) than benzene. With rare exception, the PMBs react faster than toluene and the three isomeric dimethylbenzenes (xylenes). 

As in the case of hydrogen and tritium, deuterium exhibits nuclear spin isomerism (see Magnetic spin resonance) (14). However, the spin of the deuteron [12597-73-8] is 1 instead of S as in the case of hydrogen and tritium. As a consequence, and in contrast to hydrogen, the ortho form of deuterium is more stable than the para form at low temperatures, and at normal temperatures the ratio of ortho- to para-deuterium is 2 1 in contrast to the 3 1 ratio for hydrogen. 

Ortho-Para Tritium. As in the case of molecular hydrogen, molecular tritium exhibits nuclear spin isomerism. The spin of the tritium nucleus is S, the same as that for the hydrogen nucleus, and therefore H2 and T2 obey the same nuclear isomeric statistics (16). Below 5 K, molecular tritium is... 

Infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet, optical rotary dispersion and circular dichroism measurements have been used for the spectral analysis of thiiranes. A few steroidal thiiranes have been reported to possess infrared absorption in the range from 580 to 700 cm The intermediate thiocyanate derivatives (RSCN) have a strong sharp peak at 2130-2160 cm the isomeric isothiocyanate (RNCS) shows a much stronger but broad band at 2040-2180 cm. ... 

Most physical properties are but little affected by nuclear-spin isomerism though the thermal conductivity of P-H2 is more than 50% greater than that of 0-H2, and this forms a ready means of analysing mixtures. The mp of P-H2 (containing only 0.21% (3-H2) is 0.15 K below that of normal hydrogen (containing 75% 0-H2), and by extrapolation the mp of (unobtainable) pure... 

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of all four parent compounds have been measured and analyzed.The powerful potentialities of NMR as a tool in the study of covalent hydration, tautomerism, or protonation have, however, as yet received no consideration for the pyridopyrimidines. NMR spectra have been used to distinguish between pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines. and isomeric N-bridgehead compounds such as pyrimido[l,2- ]pyrimidines and in several other structural assignments (cf. 74 and 75).

Online detection using 4H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a detection mode that has become increasingly practical. In a recent application, cell culture supernatant was monitored on-line with 1-dimensional NMR for trehalose, P-D-pyranose, P-D-furanose, succinate, acetate and uridine.33 In stopped-flow mode, column fractions can also be analyzed by 2-D NMR. Reaction products of the preparation of the neuromuscular blocking compound atracurium besylate were separated on chiral HPLC and detected by 4H NMR.34 Ten isomeric peaks were separated on a cellulose-based phase and identified by online NMR in stopped-flow mode.
