Sodium bicarbonate Subject

The starting material for the above step may be prepared as follows 5 g (0.016 mol) of N -(p-methoxyphenyl)-p-chlorobenzhydrazide hydrochloride and 4.75 g (0.018 mol) of benzyl levulinoyloxyacetate were heated In 25 ml of glacial acetic acid for 3 hours at 80°C. The solvent was then evaporated off under vacuum. The residue was taken up in chloroform and the solution was washed neutral by shaking with sodium bicarbonate solution and thereafter with water. After drying the chloroform solution, this was subjected to chromatography on aluminium oxide, the eluate was concentrated by evaporation and the viscous oil remaining as residue was crystallized by adding ether. The compound melted at 94°-95 t. The yield was 4.1 g which corresponds to 50.7% of the theoretical yield. 

To this solution was added at one time the above-obtained ethyl acetate solution at -15°C, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 1 hour at -10°C to -15°C. The reaction mixture was cooied to -30°C, and water (80 ml) was added thereto. The aqueous layer was separated, adjusted to pH 4.5 with sodium bicarbonate and subjected to column chromatography on Diaion HP-20 resin (Mitsubishi Chemical Industries Ltd.) using 25% aqueous solution of isopropyl alcohol as an eluent. The eluate was lyophilized to give 7-[2-methoxyimino-2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)acetamido] cephalosporanic acid (syn isomer) (1.8 g), MP 227°C (decomp.). 

N-Acetylation of Kasugamycinic Acid (9a). A solution of kasugamycinic acid (225 mg.) dissolved in 10 ml. of water was treated with acetic anhydride (0.3 ml.) under cooling sodium bicarbonate was used to keep the pH 7.2 and stirring continued for 30 minutes. The reaction product was passed through Dowex 50W-X2 (H form) and the column was washed with water. The combined filtrate was subjected to lyophilization to afford 234 mg. of a crude N-acetyl derivative. Its infrared spectrum showed strong absorptions at 1740 cm-1 characteristic of oxamic acid group. The N-acetyl derivative (178 mg.) was treated with 40 ml. 

Some time ago, Holliman and co-workers illustrated a method for synthesizing polysubstituted phenazines by reductive cyclization of o-nitrodiphenylamine. However, the yield was poor when competitive cyclizations occurred <70CC1423>. Recently, Kamikawa and co-workers reported a more efficient method to synthesize phenazines using sequential aniline arylation, which was first introduced by Buchwald <97JOC1264>. Regioselective bromination of o-nitrodiphenylamine 226 with bromine in the presence of sodium bicarbonate yielded 227 which was subjected to the Buchwald conditions to provide the desired phenazine 228 and the eliminated product 229 <00TL355>. The former compound is a proposed intermediate for the synthesis of the radical scavenger benthocyanin A. 

In a study with human subjects, whose urine pH was controlled with sodium bicarbonate and ammonium chloride, it was found that 10-25% of the administered pseudoephedrine hydrochloride was metabolized to norpseudoephedrine and the elimination of pseudoephedrine and norpseudoephedrine was related to urine pH. As the urine pH increased, the serum half-life of pseudoephedrine and norpseudoephedrine increased.15 In another similar study it was found that a decrease... 

Acidosis induced by salt feeding to humans influenced urinary calcium loss as effectively as feeding whole foods. Martin and Jones (25), for example, fed adult subjects a diet supplemented with ammonium chloride which resulted in marked hypercalciuria and an acidified urine. In a follow-up trial, feeding alkali as sodium bicarbonate, they also demonstrated that human hypercalciuria could be prevented by adding an alkaline supplement to the diet. 

This phenomenon also had been reported in human subjects fed acid ash foods. Farquharson, et al. (33) fed a high-protein (200 g) diet to human subjects who promptly excreted more urinary acid and calcium. This occurred whether the protein level was raised to 200 g, or an equivalent amount of ammonium chloride was fed. If, on the other hand, the acid ash in the protein were neutralized with sodium bicarbonate, the hypercalciuria did not occur. 

To 1.13 g of (-)-7,8-difluoro-2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-4H-[l,4]benzoxazine was added 1.58 g of diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate, and the mixture was stirred at 130-140°C for 70 min. The reaction mixture was subjected to column chromatography using 50 g of silica gel and eluted with chloroform to obtain 2.47 g of diethyl [(-)-7,8-difluoro-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-[l,4] benzoxazin-4-yl]methylenemalonate. This product was dissolved in 5 ml of acetic anhydride, and 10 ml of a mixture of acetic anhydride and concentrated sulfuric acid (2/1 by volume) with stirring under ice-cooling, followed by stirring at 50-60°C for 40 min. To the reaction mixture were added ice and an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, and the product was extracted three times with 150 ml portions of chloroform. The combined extract was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The precipitate was washed with a small amount of diethyl ether to yield 1.32 g of (-)-ethyl 9,10-difluoro-3-methyl-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7H-pyrido[l,2,3-de][l,4] benzoxazine-6-carboxylate. 

A simple change in physical properties also can be achieved by crystallization. In the process of making soda ash, referred to earlier, the sodium bicarbonate crystals are subjected to heat that causes the release of carbon dioxide and produces low-density sodium carbonate crystals. The density of these crystals is incompatible with their use in glass manufacture, but a more acceptable crystal can be obtained by contacting the sodium carbonate crystals with water to form crystalline sodium carbonate monohydrate. Drying the resulting crystals removes the water of hydration and produces a dense product that is acceptable for glass manufacture. 

Paper sheets individually supported on the webbed polyester sheets were immersed in a water bath for a minimum of 1 h. The washing procedure was repeated three times. Test papers that were to be further subjected to a neutralization treatment were immersed in a 10 2 M sodium bicarbonate solution for 1 h. Subsequently, these test papers were also washed in three changes of water. The chemical treatments, as well as the washings, were intermittently punctuated with gentle agitation. Finally, the treated paper sheets, while still supported on nonwoven polyester, were placed on blotting papers to drain and then were air dried between acid-free paper. 

Before the treated samples were subjected to accelerated-aging conditions, their pH values were measured. These data, along with the corresponding metallic contents, are shown in Table I for selected samples. The differences in pH values of the treated and control samples tend to be rather small. Samples containing metallic species adsorbed from aqueous sulfate solutions show a reduction in pH of less than one-half of a pH unit. The sodium bicarbonate-treated samples show some decrease in acidic content, but they are not neutral. 

Pentane is purified by washing with cone. H2SO4, sodium bicarbonate solution, and distilled water it is then dried overDrierite and subjected to fractional distillation (36°) through a 4-ft-long column. 

The membrane-stabilizing activity of beta-blockers can play a major role in toxicity. Of 208 deaths in subjects who had taken beta-blockers, 206 occurred with drugs that have membrane-stabilizing activity. This quinidine-like effect can be reversed by sodium bicarbonate, which is also used to counteract the cardiotoxic effects of cyclic antidepressants, which also have membrane-stabilizing activity.

The organic layer Is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The residue Is subjected to flash column chromatography on silica gel (250 g). Elution with a mixture of ethyl acetate-dlchloromethane-petroleum ether (1 25 25) returns 3.56 g (41t) of unreacted l-(benzenesulfonyl)cyclopentene. Subsequent increase In the solvent polarity to 3 25 25 provides the cycloadduct as a yellowish solid. This material Is dissolved in the minimum amount of dichloromethane to which Is added 25 mL of ether 4.33 g of colorless crystals precipitate. Concentration of the filtrate and crystallization from ether-petroleum ether afford an additional 0.77-1.34 g of light yellow crystals (combined yield of 44-49%) (Note 3).
