The enzacryls are polymers of nitrogen containing compounds crosslinked with acrylamide. Most are used for immobilizing enzymes. Immobilized enzymes are very important, because chemical reactions can be performed on a column and the enzyme will retain its activity. 

A class of nitrogen containing compounds that was omitted from the section just dis cussed includes mines and their derivatives Immes are formed by the reaction of aide hydes and ketones with ammonia Immes can be reduced to primary amines by catalytic hydrogenation... 

Although acetonitrile is one of the more stable nitriles, it undergoes typical nitrile reactions and is used to produce many types of nitrogen-containing compounds, eg, amides (15), amines (16,17) higher molecular weight mono- and dinitriles (18,19) halogenated nitriles (20) ketones (21) isocyanates (22) heterocycles, eg, pyridines (23), and imidazolines (24). It can be trimerized to. f-trimethyltriazine (25) and has been telomerized with ethylene (26) and copolymerized with a-epoxides (27). 

The reaction of dextrose with a nitrogen-containing compound, eg, amino acids or proteins, yields a series of intermediates which form pigments of varied molecular weight (Maikard reaction). The type of pigments produced is dependent on reaction conditions such as pH, temperature, and concentration of reactants. 

Potassium is contraindicated in patients who are at risk for experiencing hyperkalemia, such as those with renal failure, oliguria, or azotemia (file presence of nitrogen-containing compounds in the blood), anuria, severe hemolytic reactions, untreated Addison s disease (see Chap. 50), acute dehydration, heat cramps, and any form of hyperkalemia Potassium is used cautiously in patients with renal impairment or adrenal insufficiency, heart disease, metabolic acidosis, or prolonged or severe diarrhea. Concurrent use of potassium with... 

The production of nitrogen fertilizers is a major activity of the chemical industry. Every year, the top 15 chemicals in industrial production in the United States include several nitrogen-containing compounds whose major use is in fertilizers. Molecular nitrogen serves as the primary source of nitrogen for chemical production. Gaseous ammonia (NH3), which is synthesized from N2 and H2, can be injected directly into the ground, where it dissolves in moisture in the soil and serves as a fertilizer. Ammonia is more widely used in reactions with acids to produce other fertilizers Ammonia and nitric acid produce ammonium nitrate (NIL) NO3), while ammonia and sulfuric acid produce ammonium sulfate. These chemicals and urea,... 

Addition of Ketene Acetals and Enoles In recent years, much attention has been given to the synthesis of optically active nitrogen-containing compounds, with the key step being the highly stereoselective nucleophilic addition of ketene silyl acetals to nitrones (Scheme 2.174). Similar to nitrone cyanations, in ketene silyl acetal reactions one observes an accelerating effect with thiourea derivatives (633). 

Finally, it is important to note that many of the anodic reactions discussed above cannot be duplicated with traditional chemical oxidants. For this reason, the anodic oxidation of nitrogen-containing compounds represents a powerful class of reactions that has the potential to open up entirely new synthetic pathways to complex molecules. From the work already accomplished, it is clear that employing such an approach is both feasible and beneficial, and that the ability to selectively oxidize amines and amides is a valuable tool for any synthetic chemist to have at their disposal. 

Solvolysis of Diels-Alder adducts provides a useful means of preparing a variety of nitrogen-containing compounds. For instance, the hydrolysis of A Cbz or A -Ts bicylic sulfonamides 44 and 112 with NaOH affords the homoallylic carbamate 113 and sulfonamide 114, respectively (Scheme 12) <2000TL3743, 2002TA2407>. Related hydrolysis reactions have also been reported with monocyclic 1,2-dihydrothiazine oxides <2004JOC7198>. 

Bound nitrogen includes all nitrogen-containing compounds, except N2, dissolved in water. Kjeldahl nitrogen analysis, described in Section 7-2, is excellent for amines and amides but fails to respond to many other forms of nitrogen. An automated combustion analyzer converts almost all forms of nitrogen in aqueous samples into NO, which is measured by chemiluminescence after reaction with ozone 17... 

We decided to use as a very sensitive model reaction the hydrogenation of 1-chloro-2,4-di-nitrobenzene in order to find new and efficient dehalogenation inhibitors. For comparison, dicyandiamide was used as standard inhibitor. We concentrated our search of new modifiers on nitrogen containing compounds and found the most interesting effects with compounds of the following general structure...
