H-acid, l-hydroxy-3,6,8-ttisulfonic acid, which is one of the most important letter acids, is prepared as naphthalene is sulfonated with sulfuric acid to ttisulfonic acid. The product is then nitrated and neutralized with lime to produce the calcium salt of l-nitronaphthalene-3,6,8-ttisulfonic acid, which is then reduced to T-acid (Koch acid) with Fe and HCl modem processes use continuous catalytical hydrogenation with Ni catalyst. Hydrogenation has been performed in aqueous medium in the presence of Raney nickel or Raney Ni—Fe catalyst with a low catalyst consumption and better yield (51). Fusion of the T-acid with sodium hydroxide and neutralization with sulfuric acid yields H-acid. Azo dyes such as Direct Blue 15 [2429-74-5] (17) and Acid... 

V-Alkyl and A/-aryl substituted naphthyl amines are also important, eg, letter acid derivatives, but are usually manufactured by the Bucherer reaction. 

Introduction. Development of the so-called coal tar dye industry has resulted in extensive knowledge of naphthalene chemistry. The letter acids based on naphthalene derivatives are very important, especially for azo dyes. The color properties of the chromophore present depend highly on the substitution pattern of the naphthalene nucleus. The introduction of sulfonate, nitro, amino, and hydroxyl groups in various positions is therefore an important characteristic feature of the production of these intermediates. 

Organic Load of Wastewater (COD). The aqueous processing steps, which are the rule in letter acid production, lead to the presence of side products formed from naphthalene in the process wastewater. The biological wastewater treatment is regularly unable to eliminate these materials (elimination rate sometimes <20% within normal holdmg periods) satisfactorily. 

Among the naphthalenesulfonic acid derivatives, particular note should be taken of the so-called letter acids. Table 9.6 shows some important letter acids, which are used as coupling components in the production of azo dyes. 

Besides such textual databases that provide bibhographic information, sequence databases have attained an even more important role in biochemistry. Sequence databases are composed of amino add sequences of peptides or proteins as well as nudeotide sequences of nudeic acids. The 20 amino adds are mostly represented by a three-letter code or by one letter according to the biochemical conventions) the four nudeic adds are defined by a one-letter code. Thus the composition of a biochemical compound is searchable by text retrieval methods. 

Comments The diene A is symmetrical so it doesn t matter which double bond is attacked by the carbene. On the other hand, it may be difficult to stop carbene addition to the second double bond. The only control over the stereochemistry will be that the trans compound we want is more stable. Japanese chemists have recently synthesised optically active trans chrysanthemic acid by this route (Tetrahedron Letters. 1977, 2599). 

In all, only six steps are involved, making this a most economical synthesis. Chrysanthemic acid is important enough to have been made in many other ways too (e.g. Tetralredron Letters, 1976, 2441 Bull. Soc. Chim. France, 1966, 3499). 

ChemSketch has some special-purpose building functions. The peptide builder creates a line structure from the protein sequence defined with the typical three-letter abbreviations. The carbohydrate builder creates a structure from a text string description of the molecule. The nucleic acid builder creates a structure from the typical one-letter abbreviations. There is a function to clean up the shape of the structure (i.e., make bond lengths equivalent). There is also a three-dimensional optimization routine, which uses a proprietary modification of the CHARMM force field. It is possible to set the molecule line drawing mode to obey the conventions of several different publishers.

The sequence of amino acids in a peptide can be written using the three-letter code shown in Figure 45.3 or a one-letter code, both in common use. For example, the tripeptide, ala.ala.phe, could be abbreviated further to AAF Although peptides and proteins have chain-like structures, they seldom produce a simple linear system rather, the chains fold and wrap around each other to give complex shapes. The chemical nature of the various amino acid side groups dictates the way in which the chains fold to arrive at a thermodynamically most-favored state. 

In 1968 a new methanol carbonylation process using rhodium promoted with iodide as catalyst was introduced by a modest letter (35). This catalyst possessed remarkable activity and selectivity for conversion to acetic acid. Nearly quantitative yields based on methanol were obtained at atmospheric pressure and a plant was built and operated in 1970 at Texas City, Tex. The effect on the world market has been exceptional (36). 

Many labeling systems have been used for dalbaheptide stmctures. The one used herein, where each of the seven amino acids is identified by a number (see Table 2) and each atom by a letter, is widely appHed because it permits easy comparison of and nmr data (31). The lUPAC system, utilised in Chemicaly hstracts and generally in the description of semisynthetic derivatives, requires decodification for comparison of different dalbaheptides (83).

Shorthand notations have been developed to avoid repetitive systematic names of unsaturated fatty acids. Eor example, linolenic or (7j -9,i7j -12-,i7j -15-octadecatrienoic acid can be represented by 18 3(9, 12, 15 ). The Greek letter A has been used to indicate presence and position of double bonds, eg a fatty acid, but it should never be used in a systematic name. An equally inappropriate but popular designation is derived by counting... 

The 20 different side chains that occur in proteins are shown in Panel 1.1 (pp. 6-7). Their names are abbreviated with both a three-letter and a one-letter code, which are also given in the panel. The one-letter codes are worth memorizing, as they are widely used in the literature. A mnemonic device for linking the one-letter code to the names of the amino acids is given in Panel 1.1. 

Panel 1.1 The 20 different amino acids that occur in proteins. Only side chains are shown, except for the first amino acid, alanine, where all atoms are shown. The bond from the side chain to Ca is red. A ball-and stick model, the chemical formula, the full name, and the three-letter and one-letter codes are given for each amino acid. 

There are some easy ways of remembering the one-letter code for amino acids. If only one amino acid begins with a certain letter, that letter is used ...
