O reductive

The sample deformed to 30/o reduction in the ordered state shows an S-shape behaviour within the ordered region with a drop of about 30% at 400°C. The first decrease of microhardness at about 130°C seems to be correlated with the early decrease of resistivity and, therefore, may be attributed to the recovery of a great number of deformation induced excess vacancies. 

This transformation can also be carried out under solvent-free conditions in a domestic oven using acidic alumina and ammoniiun acetate, with or without a primary amine, to give 2,4,5-trisubstituted or 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles, respectively (Scheme 15A) [69]. The automated microwave-assisted synthesis of a library of 2,4,5-triarylimidazoles from the corresponding keto-oxime has been carried out by irradiation at 200 ° C in acetic acid in the presence of ammonium acetate (Scheme 15B) [70]. Under these conditions, thermally induced in situ N - O reduction occurs upon microwave irradiation, to give a diverse set of trisubstituted imidazoles in moderate yield. Parallel synthesis of a 24-membered library of substituted 4(5)-sulfanyl-lff-imidazoles 40 has been achieved by adding an alkyl bromide and base to the reaction of a 2-oxo-thioacetamide, aldehyde and ammonium acetate (Scheme 15C) [71]. Under microwave-assisted conditions, library generation time was dramatically re-... 

In a hydrogen fuel cell, oxidation of H2 at the anode releases electrons into the circuit and produces aqueous H3 O ". Reduction of O2 at the cathode consumes electrons and generates OH , which combines with H3 O " to produce H2 O. The schematic diagram shows these processes. 

Reaction types noted oxidation (O), reduction (R), glycosylation (G), glucuronidation (GA) and sulfation (S). 

Cytochromes, catalases, and peroxidases all contain iron-heme centers. Nitrite and sulfite reductases, involved in N-O and S-O reductive cleavage reactions to NH3 and HS-, contain iron-heme centers coupled to [Fe ] iron-sulfur clusters. Photosynthetic reaction center complexes contain porphyrins that are implicated in the photoinitiated electron transfers carried out by the complexes. 

The absolute configuration of dichomine was determined by chemical correlation. Reduction with LiAlH4 in THF gave a product identical to (145, 20/ )-velbanamine (160) through sequential carbinolamine C—O reductive cleavage... 

A diastereoselective dipolar cycloaddition of chiral nitrone 80 with alkene dipolarophiles afforded imidazo[ 1,2-3]-isoaxazole (Scheme 9). The conversion via N-O reduction of this ring system with Raney-Ni in methanol gave the corresponding pyrrolo[l,2-A imidazole in 66% yield. The structure has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction crystal stmcture analysis <2000SL967>.

In a careful study of the long wavelength behavior of Co(C204)33 ", Adamson demonstrated that racemization of this complex could accompany its reduction. At 450 mpt, for example, with optically active Co(C204)33, O optical activity/O reduction = 1.15 thus fl> racemization = 0.0018 and Ored = 0.012.5 It was shown by Adamson that this result could be accommodated by assuming reaction (22) was reversible and was driven forward photochemically. The observed ratio of d>rao to bred could then be rationalized in terms of the well-known thermal reduction processes.75... 

Indinavir is a protease inhibitor used in the management of HIV infection. CYP3A4 mediates the biotransformation of indinavir in vitro (85,86), and in vivo, indinavir has been shown to be a potent competitive and mechanism-based inhibitor of CYP3A4 (85,87). Piscitelli and coworkers (80) examined the effect of St. John s wort (300 mg t.i.d. x 14 days) administration on indinavir (800 mg q.i.d. x 8 hr x four doses) exposure in eight healthy volunteers (two females). The administration of St. John s wort for 14 days resulted in a significant 54 /o reduction in the indinavir eight-hour area under the concentration-time curve, from 35.8 13.0 to 15.6 5.8 pg X hr/mL. The authors conclude that the magnitude in the reduction in indinavir concentrations may result in the development of antiretroviral resistance and subsequent treatment failure.

An alternative stereospecific synthesis of emetine has been accomplished from ethyl trans-5-ethyl-2-oxopiperidine-4-acetate by conversion into the lactim ether (107), which was allowed to react with 3,4-dimethoxyphenacyl bromide to give the ketone (108 R R2 = O). Reduction of this with sodium borohydride, followed by hydrogenolysis of the resulting alcohol, gave (108 R1 = R2 = H), which has previously been converted into emetine.135 The reaction of (107) with 3-benzyloxy-4-methoxyphenacyl bromide and with 4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenacyl bromide afforded analogues of (108 RJR2 = O), which were converted into 9-O-desmethylpsychotrine (109 R1 = H, R2 = Me) and 10-0-desmethylpsychotrine (109 R1=Me, R2 = H) respectively.136,137...
