Review problem 34 Design a synthesis for rose oxide, TM 307, a perfiime occuring in rose and geranium oils which is made at present by the oxidation of another natural product, citronellol. 

After the hair is bleached it has an uimatural straw-like color and is then dyed to the desired tone with either a semipermanent or a permanent hair color product. The dye products designed to color bleached hair to a natural looking blonde shade are called toners. 

Penam Sulfone B-Lactamase Inhibitors. Natural product discoveries stimulated the rational design of p-lactamase inhibitors based on the readily accessible penicillin nucleus. An early success was penicillanic acid sulfone, (2(5)-cis)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4,4-dioxide-4-thia-l-a2abicyclo [3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid [68373-14-8] (sulbactam) (25, R = = H, R" = R" = CH ), CgH NO S. The synthesis (118), microbiology (119—121),... 

Computer-aided inhibitor design is a relatively new and powerful approach for the development of novel, potentially potent, nonsubstrate-analogue enzyme inhibitors. Computer-aided methods and biological screening can each lead to new classes of novel inhibitors. However, computer-aided design methods can focus the search for inhibitors, thereby circumventing much of the time-consuming synthetic and natural product purification procedures for those compounds they find unlikely to function as inhibitors. 

In theory, three isoxazolines are capable of existence 2-isoxazoline (2), 3-isoxazoline and 4-isoxazoline. The position of the double bond may also be designated by the use of the prefix A with an appropriate numerical superscript. Of these only the 2-isoxazolines have been investigated in any detail. The preparation of the first isoxazoline, 3,5-diphenyl-2-isoxazoline, from the reaction of )3-chloro-)3-phenylpropiophenone with hydroxylamine was reported in 1895 (1895CB957). Two major syntheses of 2-isoxazolines are the cycloaddition of nitrile A-oxides to alkenes and the reaction of a,/3-unsaturated ketones with hydroxylamine. Since 2-isoxazolines are readily oxidized to isoxazoles and possess some of the unique properties of isoxazoles, they also serve as key intermediates for the synthesis of other heterocycles and natural products. 

Future legislation will stimulate burner development in the areas of carbon monoxide, NOx and particulate generation. Techniques will include flue-gas recirculation, staged combustion, and additives to reduce the NOx and more sophisticated controls. Controls over the sulfur generated do not affect burner design greatly since the sulfur dioxide is a natural product of combustion and can only be reduced by lower fuel sulfur contents or sulfur removal from the exhaust gases. 

K. C. Nicolaou was bom in 1946 in Cyprus. He studied chemistry at the University of London (B.Sc., 1969 Ph.D., 1972), Columbia University (postdoctoral research) and Harvard University (postdoctoral research). Between 1976 and 1989 he was a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania. He currently holds joint appointments at The Scripps Research Institute, where he is the Darlene Shiley Professor of Chemistry and Chairman of the Department of Chemistry, and at the University of California, San Diego, where he is Professor of Chemistry. His research interests span the areas of synthetic organic chemistry, bioorganic chemistiy, molecular design, and the chemistry and biology of natural products. 

The use of computers in design and related fields is widespread and will continue to expand. It is increasingly important for designers to keep up to date continually with the nature and prospects of new computer hardware and software technologies. For example, plastic databases, accessible through computers, provide product designers with property data and information on materials and...
