Solvent presence

Many organic syntheses requHe the use of stericaHy hindered and less nucleophilic bases than //-butyUithium. Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) and lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LHS) are often used (140—142). Both compounds are soluble in a wide variety of aprotic solvents. Presence of a Lewis base, most commonly tetrahydrofuran, is requHed for LDA solubdity in hydrocarbons. A 30% solution of LHS can be prepared in hexane. Although these compounds may be prepared by reaction of the amine with //-butyUithium in the approprite medium just prior to use, they are also available commercially in hydrocarbon or mixed hydrocarbon—THF solvents as 1.0—2.0 M solutions. 

A rational way to develop approaches that will increase the stability of fast-degrading drugs in pharmaceutical dosage forms is thorough study of the factors that can affect such stability. In this section, the factors that can affect decomposition rates are discussed it will be seen that under certain conditions of pH, solvent, presence of additives, and so on, the stability of a drug may be drastically affected. Equations that may allow prediction of these effects on reaction rates are discussed. 

Since the experimental kinetic data refer to a reaction rate and how this is affected by variables, such as concentration, temperature, nature of the solvent, presence of other solutes, structural variations of the reactants, and so forth, the assignment of a mechanism is always only indirectly derived from primary data. Therefore, it is not surprising that more than one mechanism has often been proposed to explain the same rate law and that reaction mechanisms, which were once consistent with all experimental information available on a system, have later on been considered erroneous and have been disregarded, or drastically modified, as long as new experimental evidence was accumulated. In general, the stoichiometry of the reaction, even when this is a simple one, cannot be directly related with its mechanism, and when the reaction occurs through a series of elementary steps, the possibility that the experimental rate law may be interpreted in terms of alternative mechanism increases. Therefore, to resolve ambiguities as much as possible, one must use aU the physicochemical information available on the system. Particularly useful here is information on the structural relations between the reactants, the intermediate, and the reaction products. 

Variables can be quantitative, e.g. temperature, pH, concentration, or qualitative, such as type of solvent, presence or absence of a catalyst. 

As we have seen, an excited organic molecule may undergo several physical and chemical processes. The relative importance of the various processes depends, of course, on the structure of the compound and on its environment (e.g., type of solvent, presence of solutes). For each individual process j, we may, for a given environment, define a quantum yield ,y(A) which denotes the fraction of the excited molecules of a given compound i that react by that particular physical or chemical pathway ... 

In addition to the synthesis of /1-dicarbonyl compounds3,25, the acylation of enamines also gives access to a wide variety of acyclic, carbocyclic and heterocyclic systems. The course of the reaction is often critically dependent upon the type of enamine used, on the substituents present in the two reagents, and on the experimental conditions, such as temperature, solvent, presence of added tertiary amine, etc. In contrast to alkylation, A-acylation is readily reversible. Since enamines are stronger bases than the C-acylated enamines, half an equivalent of the enamine is lost by salt formation in their reaction with acid chlorides. This can be avoided by addition of a tertiary amine179, but this in... 

Numerous experiments have been performed on the action of solutes on Ps formation in liquids. Parameters that have been examined are nature and concentration of the solutes, temperature, nature of the solvent, presence of cosolutes, electric and magnetic field effects. Due to the ease of dissolution of a large variety of compounds, the most studied solvent is water, which allows larger possibilities of comparison with data from pulse radiolysis. 

Variations in expression of the different constituents as a factor of external parameters represent an adaptation of the system to environmental conditions, such as medium (solvent), presence of interacting species (protons, metal ions, substrate molecules, etc.), or physical factors (temperature, pressure, electric or magnetic fields, etc.).

This eqiiation accoxmts for the effect of the solvent, presence of charged particles (second term) and pectin (third term) on viscosity (r = 0.996). Sxmimarizing, the viscosity of some complex liquids is adequately represented by empirical equations that have as a structural parameter the volume fraction of the dispersed phase. Particle deformation, specific interactions between particles and the presence of a non-Newtonian continuous phase, all which contribute to the structure of a complex liquid, are more difficult to model.

Colour can be useful when describing different batches of drug substance, since it can sometimes be used as an indicator of solvent presence or, more importantly, of degradation. In addition, subtle differences in colour may be due to variations in the particle size distribution. Usually colour is subjective and is based on individual perception however, more quantitative measurements can be obtained by using, e.g., tristimulus colorimetry (Nyqvist et al. 1980 Ve-muri et al. 1985 Nyqvist and Wadsten 1986 Stock 1993).

Experimental measurements of solubility are influenced by many different factors, including the purity of the solute and solvent, presence of cosolvents, presence of salts, temperature, physical form of the undissolved solute, ionization state, and solution pH [18]. Consequently many different definitions of solubility are in common use in the published literature. Here we discuss the intrinsic aqueous solubility, Sg, which is defined as the concentration of the neutral form of the molecule in saturated aqueous solution at thermodynamic equilibrium at a given tanperature [18-20]. Intrinsic aqueous solubility is used to calculate dissolution rate and pH-dependent solubility in models such as the Noyes-Whimey equation [21] and the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation [22, 23], respectively. Prediction of the intrinsic aqueous solubility of bioactive molecules is of great importance in the biochemical sciences because it is a key determinant in the bioavailability of novel pharmaceuticals [1, 3, 24-26] and the environmental fate of potential pollutants [27, 28],... 

The addition of proteins can induce an aggregation of xanthan chains according to the ionic composition of the solvent (presence of cations such as calcium or magnesium) and to the pH. Furthermore, the flow behavior of xanthan-protein solutions exhibited some thixotropic phenomena... 

The specificity and stability of a lipase will be dictated primarily by its microenvironmental conditions temperature, pH, ionic strength, water content, dispersing solvent, presence of inhibitors or promoters, and whether the lipase is in the free state or immobilized. Here we discuss the paramount roles of water content and solvent in detail. 

Second, the influence of the reaction conditions, such as the temperature, phase state of reactants, pressiue, medium (solvent), presence of neutral ions, etc., on the rate and other kinetic parameters of the reaction. The final result of these studies is the quantitative empirical correlations between the kinetic characteristics and reaction conditions. 

The temperature dependence of the specific volume of proteins outside the range of thermal stability (usually outside the linear range between 4 and 45 °C) is complex and nonlinear. A plot of specific volume vs. temperature may display several sections, the thermal effects depending on the protein under investigation and the environmental conditions (e.g., pH, solvent, presence of additives). For example, a... 

The probability of absorption at a given wavelength is expressed by the molar extinction coefficient (A), m mol. From this one can deduce that there will be a wavelength or wavelengths of maximum absorption and spectral shape. The miCToenvironment of the fluorophore, such as the solvent, presence of other ions and molecules, fluorophore concentration, and the surrounding temperature can all affect either the absorption or fluorescing properties of the bulk sample. For many situations, the emitted radiant power, is propor-...
