Replacement test

Nitrous Anhydride. Assemble an apparatus as shown in Fig. 79, replacing test tube 1 with a small Wurtz flask provided with a dropping funnel, and immerse U-tube 3 into a cooling mixture (ice and salt). Put 1-2 g of starch on the bottom of the flask, and pour 5-6 ml of a 50% nitric acid solution into the dropping funnel. 

To 90 xL of the exponential phase culture at A600 = 0.001, add 10 pT of test fraction (HPLC fraction or pure peptide reconstituted in water or in an appropriate culture medium). In control wells, water is replacing test fractions. 

Similar to what we demonstrated for the non-methylated sequences we investigated the methylated sequences in the context of single or double nucleotide replacements. For all replacements tested we observed the occurrence of a single conformer comprising the m2GGm62Am62A loop. 

Atoms that cannot be distinguished chemically. The replacement test for chemically equivalent atoms gives identical compounds, (p. 576)... 

Bonded to a group that withdraws part of the electron density from around the nucleus. The absorptions of deshielded nuclei are moved downfield, resulting in larger chemical shifts, (p. 568) Nuclei that occupy diastereomeric positions. The replacement test for diastereotopic atoms gives diastereomers. Diastereotopic nuclei can be distinguished by NMR, and they can split each other unless they are accidentally equivalent, (p. 592)... 

Micro centrifuge tubes (Fig. 11.34) of 0-5-2 ml capacity replace test-tubes, beakers and flasks for most operations. Two types of centrifuge tubes are shown b is particularly useful when very small amounts of precipitate are being handled. Centrifuge tubes are conveniently supported in a rack consisting of a wooden block provided with 6 to 12 holes, evenly spaced, of 1-5 cm diameter and 1-3 cm deep. 

If you perform the replacement test to assign pro-R/pro-S prochirality, you will see that the right arm of citrate is pro-R and the product pictured on the right is formed. 

Currently, for pesticide registration, there is an increasing consideration by regulatory jurisdictions of in vitro data as an alternative to in vivo dermal absorption data. At present, based on the OECD inventory and provided that levels of the pesticide remaining in the skin are included as absorbed, the results from in vitro methods seem to adequately reflect those from in vivo experiments, so supporting their use as a replacement test to measure percutaneous absorption (OECD, 2000 van de Sandt et al., 2004). This calculation, i.e. the inclusion of the amount... 

FIGURE 5.58 Replacement tests for homotopic, enantiotopic, and diastereotopic hydrogens. 

Although it would be nice to develop a generic model of conveyor drying that covers all products, theoretical modeling will never replace testing or previous experience. Many of the effects experienced on conveyor dryers are... 

In each of these examples, the two identified protons are homotopic, because they can be interchanged by rotational symmetry. (Can you identify the axis of rotation in each compound above ) If you are having trouble seeing axes of symmetry, there is a simple method, called the replacement test, that will allow you to verify whether or not two protons are homotopic. Draw the compound two times, each time replacing one of the protons with deuterium for example ... 

In each of these examples the two highlighted protons are enantiotopic, because they ate interchangeable by reflectional symmetry. (Can you see the plane of symmetry in each compound ) If you are having trouble seeing planes of symmetry, you can resort once again to the replacement test. Simply draw the compound twice, each time replacing one of the protons with deuterium. Then determine the relationship between the two drawings. If they are enantiomers, then the protons are enantiotopic. 

These protons cannot be interchanged by either rotational symmetry or reflectional symmetry. Therefore, these two protons are not chemically equivalent. In this case, the replacement test produces diastereomers. 

If your eyes were closed during the operation, the position of the methyl group would indicate that a reflection had occurred. Since the molecule is not drawn exactly as it was before reflection, the protons are not interchangeable by reflection, and therefore, they are not enantiotopic. In this problem, the protons are neither homotopic nor enantiotopic. Therefore, these protons are not chemically equivalent. They will each produce a different signal in an NMR spectrum. The two protons must either be diastereotopic or simply not related to each other at all. To determine if they are diastereotopic, do the replacement test. 

The replacement test is a simple technique for verifying the relationship between protons. If the replacement test produces diastereomers, then the protons are diastereotopic.
