It is to be noticed that although the anhydro ring of levoglucosan is stable to alkali (Tanret s preparative method consisted in the heating of aromatic jS-D-glucosides with aqueous alkali), it readily undergoes scission in the presence of acid. An isomeric glucose anhydride prepared in 1912 by E. Fischer showed, however, very different properties. 

Fischer, having succeeded in replacing the bromine atom in methyl 6-bromo-triacetyl-/3-D-glucoside by the amino group, endeavored in collaboration with Zach to effect the removal of the bromine, as well as the acetyl groups, by the treatment of the compound with barium hydroxide, 

The product retains, however, the configuration of D-galactose and is in fact methyl trimethyl-D-galactopyranoside (LII). The intermediate formation of a 1,3-anhydro ring is postulated. 

A curious observation made by Levene and Compton - is connected with the subject of this section. The saponification of 5-tosyl- 

3- isopropylidene-L-rhamnofuranose (n-rhamnose = 6-desoxy-L-manno-se) with sodium methoxide takes place in the cold and the product is methyl 2,3-isopropylidene-6-desoxy-D-allofuranoside. Inversion occurs therefore not only on C5 but also on C4, and moreover Cl is also involved inasmuch as the displacing anion (OMe ) is ultimately located there in the product. The authors suggest that the reaction proceeds by virtue of the intermediate formation and scission of a 4,5-anhydro and a 1,6-anhydro compound, the forfner presumably having the configuration of D-gulose, the latter that of D-allose.

Inequality (3.12) ensues from the well-known fact that a given structure which contains a asymmetric carbon atoms gives rise to 2 in general distinct, stereoisomers and in some exceptional cases to fewer than 2 stereoisomers. Nevertheless, the purely analytical deduction of inequality (3.12) from (7) and (2.22) corroborates the observation. The exception, that is the case in which there are fewer than 2 stereoisomers in the presence of a asymmetric carbon atoms, involves compensation of asymmetries. The corollary of (3.12) indicates that compensation of asymmetries in cannot occur... 

It has been found, however, that this case is somewhat complicated by the formation of definite compounds in some amalgams still the general results are in agreement with the theory. Some exceptional cases found by Meyer have recently been shown to depend on the large heats of dilution of the particular amalgams (Smith, Zeitschr. anorg. Chcm., 58, 881). 

Several processes may compete with fluorescence for deactivation of the lowest excited singlet state. As a result only a fraction of the molecules formed in the lowest excited singlet state, < )/, actually fluoresce. <()/ is called the quantum yield or fluorescence efficiency. It is usually a fraction but may be unity in some exceptional cases and is related to the probabilities (rate constants) of fluorescence (kf) and competitive processes (kd) by... 

The types of couplings needed to describe accurately vibrational spectra of linear tetratomic molecules are summarized in Table 5.4. In most molecules, only the C, M, and C operators are needed. The S and Cf, operators are necessary only in some exceptional cases. 

A major cause of suboptimal activity in organic solvent results from the removal of essential water during enzyme dehydration. All enzymes require some water in order to retain activity through the provision of conformational flexibihty. Particularly in the case of lipases, the amount of water can be so low that it appears that none is required. For example, following the development of suitable techniques to analyse low water concentrations, it has been reported that the lipase from Rhizomucor miehei retains 30 % of its optimum activity with as little as two or three water molecules per molecule of enzyme.Owing to the apparent absence of water in some exceptional cases, the term biocatalysis in anhydrous solvent is commonly used, although in the vast majority of cases a monolayer of water is required for optimal activity (although this is often stUl well below its solubility limit in water-immiscible solvent). ... 

In some exceptional cases, however, can be given a definite meaning. This is so in the case of adsorption from dilute solutions [13,21]. Incidentally, these are the conditions usually encountered in preparative chromatography. Let us assume the compound numbered 1 to be the preferentially adsorbed. If its equilibrium concentration (x,) is negligibly small, from Equation 10.36 one obtains... 

Fundamental membrane research has benefited greatly from the study of monolayers. One of the most important discoveries from this sort of research is the very existence of two-dimensional phases and phase transitions. Generally, studies of the sort that can be carried out with monolayers and bilayers cannot be directly extended to living cells, but some exceptional cases have shown that the extrapolation is valid. For example, it is known from monolayer studies that the presence of unsaturated hydrocarbon chains in lipid monolayers prevents some phase transitions from occurring as the temperature is lowered. Certain mutants of Escherichia coli are unable to synthesize fatty acids and hence can be manipulated through the compounds they are provided as nutrients. Abnormal levels of saturated hydrocarbon can... 

From the theorems of Perron and Frobenius it follows that this is true apart from some exceptional cases.t However, we shall not pursue this approach here, because in the next chapter all relevant results will be derived for the case of continuous time in a different way. 

Before continuing, some words must be said with regard to the terms rare earths and f elements used in this chapter. The term rare earths includes the elements Sc, Y and the lanthanides La through Lu. However, this chapter solely deals with divalent or trivalent rare-earth ions which are optically active, i.e., possess a partially filled f-shell. Thus, although the term rare earths is used in this chapter, it should be kept in mind that the elements Sc, Y, La, and Lu are excluded. In some exceptional cases the more general term f elements will be used, as for example when high pressure studies on actinide ions with a partially filled 5f shell are discussed. There are only few studies on 5f elements in non-metallic compounds under pressure, however, it seems interesting to compare the results found for these ions with those for the 4f-elements. 

Plant waxes are concentrated on leaves and leaf sheaths and on fruit skins, or in some exceptional cases in the seeds of plants. Most vegetable waxes contain predominantly wax esters plus a variety of other lipid materials, which affect the degree of saturation and other properties of the wax derived from different sources. Most use has been made of plant waxes in the cosmetic sector, but there is increasing interest in the use of plant-derived sterols as dietary supplements to reduce cholesterol formation. 

The most common active metal electrodes in nonaqueous systems are indeed the surface film controlled ones described above. However, there are some exceptional cases in which surface film free active electrodes in nonaqueous solutions can be obtained. Three types of such systems are blue solutions, aluminum nonaqueous-aprotic plating systems, and magnesium electrodes in Grignard reagent solutions. 

The effect of the biphenyl rule is small and is usually screened by much stronger conjugation modes (e.g. those taken into account by resonance, conjug-ated-circuit and/or Clar-aromatic-sextet theories [64]), In some exceptional cases, however, the biphenyl rule can completely invert the conjugation pattern anticipated by the classical theories. This particularly occurs in benzenoid... 

In some exceptional cases, one can detect not only a secondary polarized radical r-M" but also a tertiary radical r-M-M". ... 

Whatever the details of the kinetic mechanism, impurities cause crystal habit modification. Buckley [65] has classified many impurity effects on different crystal habit modifications. In most cases, impurities decrease the growth rate of specific crystal faces, which lead to a change in the crystal habit because the slowest growing faces will dictate the crystal morphology. In some exceptional cases, impurities can increase the growth rate of a particular crystal face. For example, 1% Fe added... 

In solution, these polymers depolymerize both photochemically and thermally to the monomers in very high yield, or only to the oligomers in some exceptional cases (see Sect. VI. a.). 

Potential seed longevity Moderate weeks to months (years in some exceptional cases where seeds have woody outer cases) Long years in the upper few cm of soil profile in warm moist conditions conducive to invertebrate microbial activity... 

With 2-unsubstituted quinazolines, in some exceptional cases, lithiation at position 2 is observed. When position 8 in the benzene ring is blocked by a substituent, metalation with lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide followed by reaction with various electrophiles affords only 7-substituted quinazolines in very good yields. All attempts to functionalize the C5 position via the metalation reaction have failed. 

In some exception cases, the import of medicinal products without a previous MA is permitted. 

Let us compare these data with the values of the activation energy for surface and radial diffusion. In Fig. 14 the barrier height for the surface diffusion is denoted by thin dotted line, while that for radial diffusion is shown by a thick dotted line. For the noncompact cluster, the number of the first-order saddle abruptly increases about l.Oe. On the other hand, for the compact cluster, the number of the first-order saddle jumps at about 2.0e (8000 K). This trend is similarly observed in other compact and non-compact clusters, even though some exceptional cases are also present. 

Some exceptional cases have been reported, in which the two substrate enantiomers react with different enantioselectivity Trost BM, Bimt RC (1996) J Am Chem Soc 118 235 Fi-aud JC, Malleron JL (1981) Tetrahedron Lett 22 1399 see also Hayashi T, Kawatsura M, UozumiY (1998) J Am Chem Soc 120 1681 Lloyd-Jones GL, Stephen SC (1998) Chem Em-J 4 2539... 

Typically, the plant operators each receive an hour or two of training while working on their normal shift. In some exceptional cases, the operators receive formal classroom training. Better training leads to increased project success. 

A versatile enumeration technique for fullerene cages was developed by Fowler and Manolopoulos [96,97,308]. They represent fullerenes by a ring spiral as fullerenes can be peeled like an orange—each face, after the first, borders its immediate predecessor, so a single continuous spiral is created. Some exceptional cases are, however, possible [302] like a tetrahedral fullerene with 380 atoms.
