The main preparative techniques used to make all seven trifluoromethyl-quiaoline isomers iaclude copper-assisted coupliag of the haloquiaoliae with trifluoromethyl iodide (112) quiaoliaecarboxyhc acid with sulfur tetrafluoride—hydrogea fluoride (434,445) and aminoben2otrifluoride and glycerol... 

Other Asymmetric Membrane Preparation Techniques. A number of other methods of preparing membranes have been reported i the literature and are used on a small scale. Table 1 provides a brief summary of these techniques.

Esterification is generally carried out by refluxing the reaction mixture until the carboxyHc acid has reacted with the alcohol and the water has been spHt off. The water or the ester is removed from the equiUbrium by distillation. The choice of the esterification process to obtain a maximum yield is dependent on many factors, ie, no single process has universal appHcabiUty. Although extensive preparative techniques have been reviewed elsewhere (7,68), the methods given ia this section are representative of both laboratory and plant-scale techniques used ia batch esterifications. 

TLC can be used as an analytical technique, or as a guide to establishing conditions for column chromatography or as a preparative technique in its own right. 

Artifacts may be introduced from the environment or through preparative techniques. When assessing individual tiny particles of material, the risk of loss or contamination is high, so that samples of this nature are handled and prepared for examination in a clean bench or a cleanroom (class 100 or better).

It should be noted that for TEM at accelerating voltages of 100-400 keV the specimen thickness must be of the order of 10-100 nm which requires dedicated preparation techniques [2.173, 2.176, 2.178]. 

Since then, TXRE has become the standard tool for surface and subsurface microanalysis [4.7-4.11]. In 1983 Becker reported the angular dependence of X-ray fluorescence intensities in the range of total reflection [4.12]. Recent demands have set the pace of further development in the field of TXRE - improved detection limits [4.13] in combination with subtle surface preparation techniques [4.14, 4.15], analyte concentrations extended even to ultratraces (pg) of light elements, e. g. A1 [4.16], spe-dation of different chemical states [4.17], and novel optical arrangements [4.18] and X-ray sources [4.19, 4.20]. 

SERS is usually restricted to specially prepared "active" surfaces. A broad range of other surfaces also becomes accessible to SERS spectroscopy after special preparation techniques ... 

Additional suggested resources for the reader include introductory articles on scanning probe techniques for materials properties measurement [82,83J. A comprehensive manual describing various surface preparation techniques, experimental procedures and instrumentation is also a good resource [84J, although the more recent modulation based techniques are not covered. Key textbooks include Johnson s on contact mechanics [51J and Israelachvili s on surface forces [18J, as well as a treatment of JKR/DMT issues by Maugis [85J.

It has been reported that SWCNTs form in the soot generated in the arc-discharge chamber when metal catalysts are present. This preparation technique was published almost concurrently by two groups [2,3]. Thus lijima and Ichihasi [2], employing an Fe catalyst and a mixture of CH4 (10 Torr) and Ar (40 Torr), obtained ca. 1 nm diameter SWCNTs, whereas Bethune et al. [3] produced ca. 

If cyclic ketones are monosubstituted in the a-position, their rates of reaction decrease as compared to the rate for the parent ketone (9,41). More highly substituted ketones (e.g., diisobutyl ketone, diisopropyl ketone) can be caused to react using newer preparative techniques (39,43,44, see Section VII). Monosubstituted acetones often can give selfcondensation products, but the recent literature (13,39,43) contains reports of the successful formation of the enamines of methyl ketones. 

Centrifugation can be used either as a preparative technique for separating and purifying macromolecules and cellular components or as an analytical technique to characterize the hydrodynamic properties of macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. 

Although on-line sample preparation cannot be regarded as being traditional multidimensional chromatography, the principles of the latter have been employed in the development of many on-line sample preparation techniques, including supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)-GC, SPME, thermal desorption and other on-line extraction methods. As with multidimensional chromatography, the principle is to obtain a portion of the required selectivity by using an additional separation device prior to the main analytical column. 

In this chapter a number of the preparative techniques used in the resolution of enantiomers is presented. Some of these techniques will be developed more fully in following chapters. 

There are circumstances in which it is not possible to obtain the required enantiomer at manufacturing scale either by synthesis or isolation, e.g. because of difficulties with scale-up or failure to obtain material in a suitable physical form for pharmaceutical manufacture. In such cases, all the experimental results available should be described and the reason for the failure given. Likewise, if enantiomeric material could not be obtained for preclinical and clinical studies (see below), this should also be discussed. Advances in preparative techniques should eventually make this scenario less common. 

Although most solutions satisfy the three-component criterion they have usually been established by empirical methods and their compositions can be found by referring to tables on a recipe-book basis Many have been extensively explored by metallographers in search of improved preparation techniques, notably for electron microscopy . ...

In the analysis of polymer surfaces and interfaces there has been tremendous progress in recent years. This is to a large extent due to the development of surface- and interface-sensitive analytical techniques which previously had not been applied to polymers. It is thus possible to achieve molecular resolution both for the free polymer surface and for buried interfaces between polymers. In addition, suitable sample preparation techniques are available and extremely homogeneous and smooth polymer thin films can be prepared. They may be put together to investigate the interface between polymers. 

Reactions such as these are of interest in themselves. Beyond that, one can use the pulse radiolysis experiment as a preparative technique for other species. Thus, the reactions of numerous aliphatic, carbon-centered radicals have been evaluated.22 If one employs a reasonably high concentration of solute, say 0.1-1 M CH3OH, the formation of CH2OH is complete within the electron pulse. Following that, reactions such as the following can be studied ...
