Although isothiazole (pK = 1.90) is less basic than thiazole, its rale of quaternization by dinitrophenyl acetate in water at 52°C is approximately 2.5 times higher (447). This deviation from the Bronsted relationship (A log k - 0.ApK, with positive) is interpreted as a consequence of the or effect of the adjacent sulfur lone pair in isothiazole that is responsible for its higher nucleophilicity (448, 449). 

Conformations m which the torsion angles between adjacent bonds are other than 60° are said to have torsional strain Eclipsed bonds produce the most torsional strain staggered bonds none Because three pairs of eclipsed bonds are responsible for 12 kJ/mol (2 9 kcal/mol) of torsional strain m ethane it is reasonable to assign an energy cost of 4 kJ/mol (1 kcal/mol) to each pair In this chapter we 11 learn of additional sources of strain m molecules which together with torsional strain comprise steric strain... 

Birds. In avian populations, organochlorine-associated suppression of T-cell mediated immune response has been found in herring gull and Caspian tern colonies adjacent to the Great Lakes in Northern America.In the most severe cases, immune response was suppressed by up to 50%. Similarly, seabirds exposed to petrochemicals from oil spills have been found to have suppressed immune function. " ... 

This is nicely illustrated by members of the chymotrypsin superfamily the enzymes chymotrypsin, trypsin, and elastase have very similar three-dimensional structures but different specificity. They preferentially cleave adjacent to bulky aromatic side chains, positively charged side chains, and small uncharged side chains, respectively. Three residues, numbers 189, 216, and 226, are responsible for these preferences (Figure 11.11). Residues 216... 

Substitution reactions by the ionization mechanism proceed very slowly on a-halo derivatives of ketones, aldehydes, acids, esters, nitriles, and related compounds. As discussed on p. 284, such substituents destabilize a carbocation intermediate. Substitution by the direct displacement mechanism, however, proceed especially readily in these systems. Table S.IS indicates some representative relative rate accelerations. Steric effects be responsible for part of the observed acceleration, since an sfp- caibon, such as in a carbonyl group, will provide less steric resistance to tiie incoming nucleophile than an alkyl group. The major effect is believed to be electronic. The adjacent n-LUMO of the carbonyl group can interact with the electnai density that is built up at the pentacoordinate carbon. This can be described in resonance terminology as a contribution flom an enolate-like stmeture to tiie transition state. In MO terminology,.the low-lying LUMO has a... 

Reversible interaction of the carbonyl group with an azine lone-pair (cf. 245) should facilitate substitution adjacent to the heteroatom by the anion of a )3-hydroxyethyl ketone. A similar cyclic intermediate (246) is presumably responsible for the cyclization of acetylene dicarboxylic esters with azines. Similar cyclic intermediates...
