Ring configuration

Figure 13 shows two pipe distributors, one in a branched and one in a ring configuration. These distributors minimize weeping, have good turndown, may requite the lowest pressure drop, and avoid the need for a plenum chamber. They are also well suited to multiple-level fluid injection. The disadvantages of these distributors are that there are defluidized soHds beneath the distributor and the mechanical design is more complex. 

The accepted configuration of naphthalene, ie, two fused benzene rings sharing two common carbon atoms in the ortho position, was estabUshed in 1869 and was based on its oxidation product, phthaUc acid (1). Based on its fused-ring configuration, naphthalene is the first member in a class of aromatic compounds with condensed nuclei. Naphthalene is a resonance hybrid ... 

Material of construction - Almost all elastomeric compounds are available in the o-ring configuration. 

The O-ring - is the most widely available and inexpensive elastomer seal in the world. Practieally all rubber eompounds are available in an o-ring configuration. You can buy them from specialty houses or from the corner hardware store. 

Figure 9.3 Fluorescent character in organic compounds is often determined by the presence of a planar aromatic ring system. The fluorescent compounds differ only in the closure of their central ring system, which produces the required constraints to create a planar triple-ring configuration.

Correlations between the Jc,c couplings and the aldopyranosyl ring configuration and conformation have also been deduced.4 Previous correlations involving Cl and C6 were confirmed, extended and/or modified, and new structural correlations involving C1-C5, through single and dual pathways, specifically for 3/c3,cs, 3 + 3 ci,c4, 3./< 2.< s were proposed. 

A double bond in the 7,8-(VI) or 8,9-(VII) position of a steroid which has the trans A/B ring configuration isomerizes to the 8,14 position (VIII) when treated with hydrogen and a palladium catalyst or platinum in the presence of acetic acid (69) (Fig. 12). Once the double bond reaches the 8,14 position it cannot be hydrogenated however it may be isomerized by treatment with HCl in chloroform to yield a isomer which can be reduced catalytically. 

In addition, while it is difficult to extrapolate the data in Figure 14 to conditions in aqueous solution, it is nevertheless clear that the nature of conformational averaging, which affects the interpretation of NMR parameters, depends on ring configuration, and that a singular approach to NMR parameter interpretation cannot be applied to all furanose structures. 

Cotton effects of c/.t-decalones bearing no structural features which stabilize a particular conformer are likely to be due to contributions from both steroid-like and nonsteroid conformers. The absolute ring configurations of hydroxydecalones prepared by stereospecific HLAD catalyzed reductions of decalindiones follow from the measurement of the n-7t Cotton effect35 ...
