Of methyl group

The solutions of all the methylamines in water are alkaline, but the alkalinity decreases with the number of methyl groups. 

Vitamin Bj 2 is concerned in the biosynthesis of methyl groups of choline and methionine.

Mills and Smith (504) were the first, in 1922, to develop a systematic study of the reactivity of methyl groups fixed on nitrogen-containing heterocycles. While in alkylpyridines the 2- (or 6) and 4-positions are activated, only the 2-position in thiazole corresponds to an enhanced reactivity of the methyl groups in condensation with aldehydes 4- and 5-methylthiazoles bear inert methyl groups. Quatemization of the thiazole nitrogen enhances still further the reactivity of the methyl in the 2-position (cf. Chapter IX), but it does not increase the reactivity of a methyl group in the 4-position (504). The authors invoke the possibility for 2- (and 6) methylpyridine and 2-methylthiazole to pass, to some extent, into the reactive enamine form (245), while 4-methylthiazole could adopt such a structure only with the participation of an unusual formula such as 247 (Scheme 112).

The relative basicity of PMBs is summarized in Table 4, which shows that basicity increases with increa sing number of methyl groups, and that methyl groups ia the 1,3-position to one another gteatiy influence basicity.

Aldehydes, Ketones, ndAcids. As with many aromatic compouads, the oxidatioa of methyl groups is an attractive synthetic route to both aldehydes and carboxyUc acids ia the quiaoliaes. The hydrolysis of dibromomethyl groups has also beea used for aldehydes and the hydrolysis of nitriles for carboxyhc acids. Detailed reviews of the synthesis of these compounds have appeared (4). 

Sesquiterpenes are formed by the head-to-tad arrangement of three isoprene units (15 carbon atoms) there are, however, many exceptions to the rule. Because of the complexity and diversity of the substances produced in nature, it is not surprising that there are many examples of skeletal rearrangements, migrations of methyl groups, and even loss of carbon atoms to produce norsesquiterpenoids. 

Direct Blue 218 had reported sales of 623 t valued at 4.4 million ia 1987. It is produced from Direct Blue 15 (76) by metallizing and elimination of methyl groups from the methoxide to form the copper complex. Direct Blue 15 (76) is prepared by coupling o-dianisidine [119-90-4] to two moles of H-acid (4-amiQO-5-hydroxy-2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid) under alkaline pH conditions. Other important direct blues iaclude Direct Blue 80 (74), (9-dianisidine coupled to two moles of R-acid (3-hydroxy-2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid [148-75-4]) followed by metallizing to form a bis copper complex, and Direct Blue 22 (77), an asymmetrical disazo dye, prepared by coupling o-dianisidine to Chicago acid [82-47-3] and 2-naphthol. Direct Blue 75 (78) is an example of a trisazo dye represented as metanilic acid — 1,6-Q.eve s acid — 1,6-Q.eve s acid — (alb) Ai-phenyl J-acid. 

For the reactions of methylpyridazine 1-oxides with benzaldehyde in the presence of sodium methoxide, the order of reactivity of methyl groups at various positions is 5 > 4,6 > 3. 3-Methylpyridazine 1-oxide is converted by acetic anhydride into the 3-acetoxymethyl compound, which is easily hydrolyzed to 3-hydroxymethylpyridazine. 

Aromatic solvents or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAFI) in water, e.g. can be detected by QCM coated with bulk-imprinted polymer layers. Flere, the interaction sites are not confined to the surface of the sensitive material but are distributed within the entire bulk leading to very appreciable sensor responses. Additionally, these materials show high selectivity aromatic solvents e.g. can be distinguished both by the number of methyl groups on the ring (toluene vs. xylene, etc.) and by their respective position. Selectivity factors in this case reach values of up to 100. 

Computed values are plotted in Figure 6 against the number of methyl groups. Note that these components include the electronic contributions (net contribution for isolated mole-...
