The heating behavior of ionic liquids combined with organic solvents under microwave irradiation has also been the subject of a recent paper by Ondruschka and coworkers [84]. Kappe et al. have used microwaves for inter and intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder reactions of 2(ll-f)-pyrazinones using dichloroethane as a solvent with small amounts of ionic liquid as heating aids (Scheme 7.26) [85], The conventional reaction can take up to 2 days to reach completion. With the micro-wave heating the reaction time could be reduced to 50 min in the absence of the ionic liquid and only 18 min in its presence. Product yields were reported to be similar to those obtained by use of conventional heating. Interestingly, when the... 

As shown in Scheme 1, metallacycles can be ring-opened by hydrogen transfer, generally brought about with the aid of compounds (HX) having mobile hydrogen-like acids, amines, etc. In some cases the HX compound adds to the organic chain. 

The El source has been the most widely used ion source over the past 60 years and continues to be the method of choice for the analysis (either qualitative or quantitative) of small- to medium-sized volatile organic compounds. The inherent reproducibility of the mass spectra has enabled the assembly of large spectral libraries. Computers associated with current generation instruments can efficiently (in a few seconds) search an unknown mass spectrum against tens of thousands of reference spectra in order to aid in the identification of an analyte. The general scheme of an El source includes the introduction of the vaporized analyte molecules into the ionization chamber, exposure of those molecules... 

Vinylation or arylation of alkenes with the aid of a palladium catalysts is known as the Heck reaction. The reaction is thought to proceed through the oxidative addition of an organic halide, RX onto a zero-valent [PdL2] species followed by coordination of the olefin, migratory insertion of R, reductive elimination of the coupled product and dehydrohalogenation of the intermediate [HPdXL2] (Scheme 6.1). 

Another advantage to the incorporation of bioprocessing aids into the Step I procedure is that the clarified extract can be used directly for subsequent purification steps even without the use of a Step II system to dewater or concentrate the process stream. These factors are especidly relevant when HPLC systems arc used in Step IB for the chromatographic procedures. Nucleic acids, pigmented organics and especially cellular debris can very quickly foul an HPLC column. This is an even more important consideration for large scale protein purification schemes where the volumes of material and costs of the operation are greatly increased (3).
