Fig. 1. Scheme for the SAM formation of MUAP, the photo-Fries rearrangement reaction upon irradiation with UV-light, and the post-modification reaction with perfluorobutyryl chloride. Below images of water droplets and CH2I2 droplets on each surface. 

In this contribution we have presented the synthesis of the new photoreactive thiol MUAP bearing a photoreactive phenyl ester. This molecule is well suited for the preparation of SAMs on gold substrates and can be photochemically modified by UV-illumination due to the photo-Fries rearrangement leading to the formation of hydroxyketones. By a subsequent post-modification reaction with a fluorinated compound low-energy surfaces are attainable. 

Polyethylene glycol is used to make the enzymes soluble in organic solvents [88], and high reaction yields have been obtained with polyethylene-glycol-modified chymotrypsin [89], and papain in benzene [90], Enzymatic modification reactions with deacylation, via aminolysis, of an intermediate covalent acyl-enzyme also support the mechanism of transpeptidation in kinetically controlled peptide syn-... 

During enzymatic modification under appropriate reaction conditions, L-amino acids (generally in ester form) are partially covalently incorporated into the peptide chains of a protein hydrolysate. Thus these enzymatic modification reactions with amino acid enrichment would be expected to be more important for health aspects than other modification processes without covalent amino acid enrichment. 

The same is true for other polymer modification reactions with acrylamide derivatives especially cationic structures for the formation of cationic surface layers. Furthermore acrylamide derivates like methylenediacrylamide are used in various polymerisation reactions and have to be determined in polymer solutions. The polycations formed by a radical polymerization and their reaction products with polyanions (symplexes) have to be characterized when they are used in polymer modification or other fields. 

Figure 6 shows a GPC curve of the PMS obtained by the end-modification reaction with PAB. The obtained PMS exhibited a very low MWD (Mw/Mn = 1.06) even after the end modification reaction. It should be noted that the end modification agent, PAB possesses both carbon-halogen and carbon-carbon double bonds... 

The success of the Bart reaction when applied to nuclear- substituted anilines is often much affected by the pH of the reaction-mixture. Furthermore, the yields obtained from some m-substituted anilines, which under the normal conditions are usually low, arc considerably increased by the modifications introduced by Scheller, and by Doak, in which the diazotisation is carried out in ethanolic solution followed by reaction with arsenic trichloride in the presence of a cuprous chloride or bromide catalyst. 

Substitution Reactions on Side Chains. Because the benzyl carbon is the most reactive site on the propanoid side chain, many substitution reactions occur at this position. Typically, substitution reactions occur by attack of a nucleophilic reagent on a benzyl carbon present in the form of a carbonium ion or a methine group in a quinonemethide stmeture. In a reversal of the ether cleavage reactions described, benzyl alcohols and ethers may be transformed to alkyl or aryl ethers by acid-catalyzed etherifications or transetherifications with alcohol or phenol. The conversion of a benzyl alcohol or ether to a sulfonic acid group is among the most important side chain modification reactions because it is essential to the solubilization of lignin in the sulfite pulping process (17). 

The aromatic ring of a phenoxy anion is the site of electrophilic addition, eg, in methylolation with formaldehyde (qv). The phenoxy anion is highly reactive to many oxidants such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and peroxyacetic acid. Many of the chemical modification reactions of lignin utilizing its aromatic and phenoHc nature have been reviewed elsewhere (53). 

STMP reacts with other nucleophiles such as aqueous ammonia to yield amidophosphates, which contains a P—N bond. STMP is used for the modification of the physical properties of starch and proteins by reaction with the amino and hydroxyl groups. 

SAMs of OH-terrninated alkanethiols have been used in many surface modification reactions (Fig. 14). These reacted with OTS to yield a weU-ordered bdayer (322), with octadecyldimethylchlorosilane (323,324), with POCI3 (325—327), with trifluoroacetic anhydride (328), epichlorohydrin (329), with alkyhsothiocyanate (330), with glutaric anhydride (331), and with chlorosulfonic acid (327). 

Although less researched than the 2-position, modifications at the 6-position of intact penems have been reported. Generation of the dianion of the penem (52, R = CH ) using a strong base such as / -butyUithium or lithium diisopropylamide, followed by reaction with electrophiles yields 6-substituted 2-methylpenems in moderate yield (128). The enhanced acidity of the 6-proton in the bromopenem (88) [114409-16-4] h.a.s been exploited to prepare the... 

Etherification. The accessible, available hydroxyl groups on the 2, 3, and 6 positions of the anhydroglucose residue are quite reactive (40) and provide sites for much of the current modification of cotton ceUulose to impart special or value-added properties. The two most common classes into which modifications fall include etherification and esterification of the cotton ceUulose hydroxyls as weU as addition reactions with certain unsaturated compounds to produce ceUulose ethers (see Cellulose, ethers). One large class of ceUulose-reactive dyestuffs in commercial use attaches to the ceUulose through an alkaH-catalyzed etherification by nucleophilic attack of the chlorotriazine moiety of the dyestuff ... 

Other modifications of the polyamines include limited addition of alkylene oxide to yield the corresponding hydroxyalkyl derivatives (225) and cyanoethylation of DETA or TETA, usuaHy by reaction with acrylonitrile [107-13-1/, to give derivatives providing longer pot Hfe and better wetting of glass (226). Also included are ketimines, made by the reaction of EDA with acetone for example. These derivatives can also be hydrogenated, as in the case of the equimolar adducts of DETA and methyl isobutyl ketone [108-10-1] or methyl isoamyl ketone [110-12-3] (221 or used as is to provide moisture cure performance. Mannich bases prepared from a phenol, formaldehyde and a polyamine are also used, such as the hardener prepared from cresol, DETA, and formaldehyde (228). Other modifications of polyamines for use as epoxy hardeners include reaction with aldehydes (229), epoxidized fatty nitriles (230), aromatic monoisocyanates (231), or propylene sulfide [1072-43-1] (232).
