It was confirmed later that free cysteic acid and free methionine sulfone were not biologically available (63, 64,138) and that free methionine sulfoxide was partly available. Miller and Samuel (64) observed that the food efficiency of a mixture of free amino acids was lower when the methionine source was replaced by methionine sulfoxide. The food efficiency was restored when 50% of the methionine sulfoxide was replaced by free methionine. Gjoen and Njaa (66) confirmed that free methionine sulfoxide was nearly as available as methionine when the amino acid mixture contained cystine. This suggests that methionine sulfoxide is reduced before it is used for protein synthesis. In order to elucidate this point, we have compared the metabolic transit of free methionine sulfoxide with that of free methionine. 

While there is no doubt that Peter Pauson and Samuel Miller and their coworkers have the priority regarding the isolation and characterization of FeCioHio, they were probably not the first to have prepared this novel organo-metallic compound. Eugene O. Brimm from Linde Air Products, nowadays well known for the first synthesis of Mn2(CO)i0 (see Chap. 4), was one of several industrial chemists who, after reading the communication by Kealy and Pauson, wanted to prepare a sample of the new substance. For this reason, he asked a colleague at Union Carbide (at that time Linde s parent company) whether they had any cyclopentadiene. The reply, that they not longer did so, was accompanied by the statement that, some years previously, they had... 

The first observation of the instability of carbohydrate orthoesters toward alkali came from Haworth, Hirst and Miller in connection with their experiments on the simultaneous deacetylation and methylation of L-rhamnose methyl 1,2-orthoacetate. These authors noticed that methylation by methyl iodide and silver oxide in the presence of solid sodium hydroxide resulted in the formation of crystalline methyl tri-methyl-/3-L-rhamnopyranoside. A similar result was obtained by Bott, Haworth and Hirst on the simultaneous deacetylation and methylation of triacetyl-D-mannose methyl 1,2-orthoacetate by the use of excessive quantities of dimethyl sulfate and alkali. The reaction produced a mixture of a. and /3 forms of methyl tetramethyl-D-mannopyranoside but the yield was only 40%. When the acetylated orthoester was submitted to methylation with silver oxide and methyl iodide in the presence of sodium hydroxide, the product was mainly trimethyl-rhamnose methyl 1,2-orthoacetate. This result indicates that for the alkaline hydrolysis of orthoesters, hydroxyl ions are necessary. Such ions are present in the dimethyl sulfate-alkali process, but are absent in the methyl iodide treatment except when the reaction mixture contains a little water either by accident or from the decomposition of the sugar molecule. Haworth, Hirst and Samuels examined the behavior of dimethyl-L-rhamnose methyl 1,2-orthoacetate in alkaline solution. When the substance was heated under various conditions with 0.1 A alkali at 70 there was no appreciable hydrolysis at the end of ninety minutes, whereas at 80 for...
