Labile group

By reaction of a corresponding quaternary salt in the presence of a condensation agent such as amyl nitrite or with a heterocycioammonium salt possessing a labile group, such as Cl, I. or SR (6. 11) in the 2-position, cyanine dyes are obtained (Scheme 52). 

One potential approach extends the idea of chemical amplification introduced in our preceding description of dry-film resists. In 1982, Ito and co-workers (37,38) recognized that if a photosensitizer producing an acidic product is photolyzed in a polymer matrix containing acid-labile groups, the acid will serve as a spatially localized catalyst for the formation or cleavage of chemical bonds. 

The main benefit of the bilanone routes over other methods is that mild reaction conditions are employed so that porphyrins bearing labile groups can be synthesized.77...

Recendy, Guiver et al. reported a number of derivatives of polysulfone and poly(aryl sulfone).172 188 Polysulfones were activated either on the ortho-sulfone sites or the ortho-ether sites by direct lithiation or bromination-lithiation. The lithiated intermediates were claimed to be quantitatively converted to azides by treatment with tosyl azides. Azides are thermally and photochemically labile groups capable of being transformed readily into a number of other useful derivatives. 

As the trans effect theory indicates, there should be some relationship between lability of a ligand and its role as a labilizing group in another position in a complex. In an octahedral complex reacting via a dissociative mode of activation, the transition state has five strongly bound ligands. This state will be stabilized... 

The use of well-defined complexes has been widespread in this reaction, despite intriguing studies by Beller and others that have shown that in situ catalytic systems often give better yields in comparison to isolated carbene-Pd(O) complexes [147-149]. Since the mechanism consists of an oxidative addition on a Pd(0)-monocarbene species, efforts in catalyst synthesis have been directed towards Pd(ll)-monocarbene complexes with other labile groups that can be easily released leading to the formation of Pd(0). This is the case for dimers of the type [Pd( j,-C1)C1(NHC)]2, a family of pre-catalysts effective under aerobic conditions [150], the [Pd(acac)Cl(NHC)] complexes [151] and related palladacycles [152-154],... 

Suitable reagents for derivatizing specific functional groups are summarized in Table 8.21. Many of the reactions and reagents are the familiar ones used in qualitative analysis for the characterization of organic compounds by physical means. Alcohols are converted to esters by reaction with an acid chloride in the presence of a base catalyst (e.g., pyridine, tertiary amine, etc). If the alcohol is to be recovered after the separation, then a derivative which is fairly easy to hydrolyze, such as p-nltrophenylcarbonate, is convenient. If the sample contains labile groups, phenylurethane derivatives can be prepared under very mild reaction conditions. Alcohols in aqueous solution can be derivatized with 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride. 

Initiation. Initiation in radical polymerisation consists of two steps the dissociation of the initiator to form two radical species, followed by addition of a single molecule to the initiating radical (Figure 18). Initiators include any organic compound with a labile group, such as an azo (-N = N-), disulfide (—S—S—) or peroxide (-0-0-) compound. The labile bond can be broken by various ways like heat, UV light, /-irradiation or by a redox reaction. 

Facile C-H bond activation by Pt(II) metal centers seems to require at least one labile ligand in the coordination sphere of platinum. One of the earliest intermolecular examples of this is the activation of C-D bonds in benzene-f/, by 0 an.S -(PAIe .) Pt(neopentyl)(OTf) at 133 °C, where trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate, OTf) provides the labile group (Scheme 7, A) (26). 

Although there is now considerable evidence to support the proposal that a labile group must be replaced by the hydrocarbon prior to a facile C-H activation step, studies to answer the question of how such a... 

Electron transfer dissociation (ETD) is an ECD-like method with most of the same characteristics [21]. Like ECD, ETD yields abundant peptide backbone c- and z-type ions while often retaining such labile groups as peptide O/TV-glycosylation and phosphorylation [22]. Unlike ECD, ETD can be performed in the presence of an RF field. Here, anions created in a chemical ionization (Cl) source (see Section 2.1.7) are used as electron donors but the fragmentation pathways are essentially the same as for ECD. Commercial linear QIT instruments have recently become available with the ETD option. 

Although there are other convenient procedures for the conversion of sulphides into sulphoxides and sulphones, the phase-transfer catalysed reaction using Oxone has the advantage that the oxidation can be conducted in the presence of other readily oxidized groups, such as amines, alkenes, and hydroxyl groups, and acid-labile groups, such as esters and carbamates [6, 7], Hydrolysis of very acid-labile groups, such as ketals, can result in production of the keto sulphone. 

An exo-linker according to Fig. 10.1 must contain an enzyme labile group R, which is recognized and attacked by the biocatalyst Possible combinations could be phenylacetamide/penicillin amidase, ester/esterase, monosaccharide/glycosid-ase, phosphate/phosphatase, sulfate/sulfatase and peptides/peptidases [41]. The following systems have been worked out (Tab. 10.2). 

An alternative mechanistic scheme in which TMCS first reacts with alcohols to form hydrogen chloride which then activates the phosphoroamidite in situ seems to be unlikely. It is known that TMCS reacts very slowly with alcohols unless a catalyst is present [36]. Formation of HCl would effect the removal of an acid labile group like DMTr attached to a base or tert-hutyl... 

In searching for other proinsecticides of nereistoxin it must be kept in mind that the compound must possess labile groups bonded to the thiolsulfur atoms so that nereistoxin may be formed readily. Cartap and bensultap represent two types of compounds which may be transformed into nereistoxin by two different processes. A plausible mechanism for cartap is split of the S-C(O) bond by attack of a nucleophile, e.g. water, on the carbonyl carbon atoms, generating the 2-dimethylaminopropanedithiol which is then oxidized to nereistoxin. 

The hydroxyls at the terminal configurations of the surface (types la and lb) are the less acidic and more labile groups, whereas the hydroxyls in the bridged configurations (types 11a, 11b and 111) are sluggish and prone to act as proton donors...
