Inorganic Compounds. Inorganic selenium compounds are similar to those of sulfur and tellurium. The most important inorganic compounds are the selenides, haUdes, oxides, and oxyacids. Selenium oxidation states are —2, 0, +1, +2, +4, and +6. Detailed descriptions of the compounds, techniques, and methods of preparation, and references to original work are available (1—3,5,6—10, 51—54). Some important physical properties of inorganic selenium compounds are Hsted in Table 3. 

Until the late 1890s, coumarin was obtained commercially from only natural sources by extraction from tonka beans and deer tongue. Then synthetic methods of preparation and industrial manufacturing processes were discovered and developed starting principally from o-cresol, phenol, and sahcylaldehyde. Various methods can be used to obtain coumarin from each of these starting materials. 

This chapter lists some representative examples of biochemicals and their origins, a brief indication of key techniques used in their purification, and literature references where further details may be found. Simpler low molecular weight compounds, particularly those that may have been prepared by chemical syntheses, e.g. acetic acid, glycine, will be found in Chapter 4. Only a small number of enzymes and proteins are included because of space limitations. The purification of some of the ones that have been included has been described only briefly. The reader is referred to comprehensive texts such as the Methods Enzymol (Academic Press) series which currently runs to more than 344 volumes and The Enzymes (3rd Edn, Academic Press) which runs to 22 volumes for methods of preparation and purification of proteins and enzymes. Leading referenees on proteins will be found in Advances in Protein Chemistry (59 volumes. Academic Press) and on enzymes will be found in Advances in Enzymology (72 volumes, then became Advances in Enzymology and Related Area of Molecular Biology, J Wiley Sons). The Annual Review of Biochemistry (Annual Review Inc. Patio Alto California) also is an excellent source of key references to the up-to-date information on known and new natural compounds, from small molecules, e.g. enzyme cofactors to proteins and nucleic acids.

Auwers has paid considerable attention to the terpinene question, and especially in regard to the tact that the molecular refraction of the terpinenes shows considerable variation according to the method of preparation, and often appears to indicate that the terpinenes are exceptions to Briihl s laws of refraction. He came to the conclusion that the terpinenes are usually mixtures of more than one modification, together with a certain amount of a hydrocarbon of the formula —... 

There will be a continued need for enantiospecific methods of preparation and analysis, not only to ensure the quality of the final drug substance and reference materials, but also to control starting materials used for their manufacture, and key intermediates during synthesis. Likewise, specific and sensitive bioanalytical methods will be required to follow the fate of individual enantiomers after their administration. 

Depending on the extraction method and the source of Rb and Cs, the elements are obtained in industry as chlorides, nitrates and carbonates. Methods of preparing and purifying all of the alkali metals are described with examples. Methods for Rb and Cs are governed by the relative ease of reduction of their compounds, the volatility of the extracted metal and the extreme chemical reactivity of these heavier alkali metals toward air and moisture.

During the insertion mechanism, the metal is inserted into the carbon-oxygen bond. The insertion is promoted by a strong metal—oxygen interaction. It is thought that unreduced metal ions may play an important role in the insertion mechanism (electrophilic catalysis). The type of the catalyst, the method of preparation, and the additives can influence the concentration and stability of these ions. 

US patent 6,767,921, Polymorphic forms of fasidotril, their methods of preparation and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them [115]. The subject of this invention are polymorphic Forms I, II, III, IV of benzyl (S,S)-2-(2-acetylsul-phanylmethyl-3-benzo[l,3]dioxol-5-ylpropionyl-amino)propionate (i.e., fasidotril), their methods of preparation, and novel pharmaceutical compositions containing them. 

Since the discovery of the first noble gas compound, Xe PtF (Bartlett, 1962), a number of compounds of krypton, xenon, and radon have been prepared. Xenon has been shown to have a very rich chemistry, encompassing simple fluorides, XeF2> XeF, and XeF oxides, XeO and XeO oxyf luorides, XeOF2> XeOF, and Xe02 2 perxenates perchlorates fluorosulfates and many adducts with Lewis acids and bases (Bartlett and Sladky, 1973). Krypton compounds are less stable than xenon compounds, hence only about a dozen have been prepared KrF and derivatives of KrF2> such as KrF+SbF, KrF+VF, and KrF+Ta2F11. The chemistry of radon has been studied by radioactive tracer methods, since there are no stable isotopes of this element, and it has been deduced that radon also forms a difluoride and several complex salts. In this paper, some of the methods of preparation and properties of radon compounds are described. For further information concerning the chemistry, the reader is referred to a recent review (Stein, 1983). 

Table 1 details the method of preparation and the chemical characteristics of the three studied samples which representative micrographs are shown in Figure 1.
