Somewhat similar data were obtained with two monoclonal IgM proteins, one k and one X, from patients with Waldenstrom s disease (9S). Rabbit antibodies directed to each macroglobulin, and absorbed so as to render them specific for idiotj ic determinants, formed precipitates with the Fab subunit of IgM and also with the 7 S subunit, IgMs, prepared by reduction. Isolated L chains of the type k protein failed to precipitate with anti-D antibodies a weak reaction was obtained with H chains. In contrast, L chains of the type X protein reacted with anti-D antibodies to the macroglobulin, zdthough they proved to be andgenicaUy deficient when compared with the Fab fragment. The H chains of this protein showed no reaction. 

To produce significant vibration reduction, isolators must be soft enough to produce trans-missibihty T of 0.1 or less. The total stiffness k (that is, the sum of the stiffness of all of the isolators that support the machine and base) of the isolators that isolate a mass m (of the machine and base) at a transmissibility Tmay be estimated from... 

NH2-C0-NH NH2,CH5N30. Colourless crystalline substance m.p. 96" C. Prepared by the electrolytic reduction of nitrourea in 20% sulphuric acid at 10 "C. Forms crystalline salts with acids. Reacts with aldehydes and ketones to give semicarbazones. Used for the isolation and identification of aldehydes and ketones. 

Aldehydes and ketones may be converted into the corresponding primary amines by reduction of their oximes or hydrazones (p. 93). A method of more limited application, known as the Leuckart Reaction, consists of heating the carbonyl compound with ammonium formate, whereby the formyLamino derivative is formed, and can be readily hydrolysed by acids to the amine. Thus acetophenone gives the i-phenylethylformamide, which without isolation can be hydrolysed to i-phenylethylamine. 

Secondary and tertiary amines are not generally prepared in the laboratory. On the technical scale methylaniline is prepared by heating a mixture of aniline hydrochloride (55 parts) and methyl alcohol (16 parts) at 120° in an autoclave. For dimethylaniline, aniline and methyl alcohol are mixed in the proportion of 80 78, 8 parts of concentrated sulphuric acid are added and the mixture heated in an autoclave at 230-235° and a pressure of 25-30 atmospheres. Ethyl- and diethyl-anihne are prepared similarly. One method of isolating pure methyl- or ethyl-aniline from the commercial product consists in converting it into the Y-nitroso derivative with nitrous acid, followed by reduction of the nitroso compound with tin and hydrochloric acid ... 

One method of preparing sulphlnic acids has already been described (diazo reaction. Section IV,65). Reduction of a sulphonyl chloride with zinc powder and water affords the zinc salt of the sulphinic acid, converted by sodium carbonate to the sodium salt (in which form it is conveniently isolated), and by hydrochloric acid into the somewhat unstable sulphinic acid, for example ... 

Thiophenols (or aryl mercaptans) are obtained by more vigorous reduction of sulphonyl chlorides (or of sulphinic acids), for example with zinc and dilute sulphuric acid, and are isolated by steam distillation ... 

Recognized by Scheele, Bergman, and others as an element and isolated by Gahn in 1774 by reduction of the dioxide with carbon. 

The metal is isolated commercially by a complex chemical process, the final stage of which is the hydrogen reduction of ammonium ruthenium chloride, which yields a powder. The powder is consolidated by powder metallurgy techniques or by argon-arc welding. 

Ion-exchange and solvent extraction techniques have led to much easier isolation of the rare earths and the cost has dropped greatly in the past few years. Praseodymium can be prepared by several methods, such as by calcium reduction of the anhydrous chloride of fluoride. 

L. Holmia, for Stockholm). The special absorption bands of holmium were noticed in 1878 by the Swiss chemists Delafontaine and Soret, who announced the existence of an "Element X." Cleve, of Sweden, later independently discovered the element while working on erbia earth. The element is named after cleve s native city. Holmia, the yellow oxide, was prepared by Homberg in 1911. Holmium occurs in gadolinite, monazite, and in other rare-earth minerals. It is commercially obtained from monazite, occurring in that mineral to the extent of about 0.05%. It has been isolated by the reduction of its anhydrous chloride or fluoride with calcium metal. 

Now the easy part -isolating your product. One of the most attractive features of this new synthesis is that the standard Ai/(Hg) amination mixture must be tediously filtered to separate the product from the spent aluminum hydroxide sludge at this point. The following remedies this most frustrating step and will probably give many a new outlook on the potential of the AI(Hg) reduction. 

MejSiCI - Nal - CH3CN as an Efficient and Practical Reducing Agent for Benzoic Alcohols. A typical procedure for the present reduction is as follows To a mixture of MejSiCI (1.54 ml, 12 mmol), Nal (1.8 g, 12 mmol), and acetonitrile (0.6 ml, 12 mmol) was added a solution of 1-phenylethanol (244 mg, 2 mmol) in hexane (2 ml). The mixture was stirred for 24 h at room temperature. Dilution with water, extraction with ether and subsequent isolation process gave ethylbenzene (158 mg) with sufficient purity in 75% yield. ... 

When longer chain a-methylthio substituents or a-methylthiocycloalkanones are used, 3-methylthio-37/-indole intermediates are isolated. These can be converted to 2,3-disiibstitutcd indoles by reduction with LiAlH4[4],... 

Adducts from various quaternary salts have been isolated, in reactions with aldehydes, a-ketoaldehydes, dialkylacylphosphonates and dialkyl-phosphonates, isocyanates, isothiocyanates, and so forth (Scheme 15) (36). The ylid (11) resulting from removal of a Cj proton from 3.4-dimethyl-S-p-hydroxyethylthiazolium iodide by NEtj in DMF gives with phenylisothiocyanate the stable dipolar adduct (12) that has been identified by its NMR spectrum and reactional product, such as acid addition and thiazolidine obtention via NaBH4 reduction (Scheme 16) (35). It must be mentioned that the adduct issued from di-p-tolylcarbodiimide is separated in its halohydrogenated form. An alkaline treatment occasions an easy ring expansion into a 1,4-thiazine derivative (Scheme 17) (35). 

The reduction of a number of thiazolium salts had been shown to yield diastereomeric mixtures of thiazolidines from which it has been possible, in some cases (including that of thiamine), to isolate one pure species (Schemes 94 and 94a). 

Aldehydes are easily oxidized to carboxylic acids under conditions of ozonide hydroly SIS When one wishes to isolate the aldehyde itself a reducing agent such as zinc is included during the hydrolysis step Zinc reduces the ozonide and reacts with any oxi dants present (excess ozone and hydrogen peroxide) to prevent them from oxidizing any aldehyde formed An alternative more modem technique follows ozone treatment of the alkene m methanol with reduction by dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3)...

Neither sodium borohydride nor lithium aluminum hydride reduces isolated carbon-carbon double bonds This makes possible the selective reduction of a carbonyl group m a molecule that contains both carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen double bonds... 

This cleavage reaction is more often seen in structural analysis than in synthesis The substitution pattern around a dou ble bond is revealed by identifying the carbonyl containing compounds that make up the product Hydrolysis of the ozonide intermediate in the presence of zinc (reductive workup) permits aide hyde products to be isolated without further oxidation... 

The preparation of amines by the methods described m this section involves the prior synthesis and isolation of some reducible material that has a carbon-nitrogen bond an azide a nitrile a nitro substituted arene or an amide The following section describes a method that combines the two steps of carbon-nitrogen bond formation and reduction into a single operation Like the reduction of amides it offers the possibility of prepar mg primary secondary or tertiary amines by proper choice of starting materials...
