We further debate the methodologies used and the need for a protocol— what such a protocol would look like—and speculate on other aspects peculiar to the rhizosphere how long the rhizosphere effect lasts and whether it is transient, whether the effect is plant- or species-specific, the consequences of distinguishing rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere, and the consequences of selecting organisms for C and N transformations. 

Using a similar protocol, Loupy and coworkers have reported the synthesis of chiral ionic liquids based on (ll ,2S)-(-)-ephedrinium salts under microwave irradiation conditions (Scheme 4.21a) [75]. Importantly, the authors were also able to demonstrate that the desired hexafluorophosphate salts could be prepared in a one-pot protocol by in situ anion-exchange metathesis (Scheme 4.21b). The synthesis and transformation of so-called task-specific ionic liquids is discussed in more detail in Section 7.4. 

In a recent study, the group of Van der Eycken described the decoration of polymer-bound 2(lH)-pyrazinone scaffolds by performing various transition metal-catalyzed transformations [42]. The readily prepared pyrazinone was specifically decorated at the C3 position by employing microwave-mediated Suzuki, Stille, Sonogashira, and Ullmann protocols (Scheme 7.24), thereby introducing additional diver-... 

In keeping with the earlier format we aim to provide the readership with sufficient practical details for the preparation and successful use of the relevant catalyst. Coupled with these specific examples, a selection of the products that may be obtained by a particular technology will be reviewed. In the different volumes of this new series we will feature catalysts for oxidation and reduction reactions, hydrolysis protocols and catalytic systems for carbon-carbon bond formation inter alia. Many of the catalysts featured will be chiral, given the present day interest in the preparation of single-enantiomer fine chemicals. When appropriate, a catalyst type that is capable of a wide range of transformations will be featured. In these volumes the amount of practical data that is described will be proportionately less, and attention will be focused on the past uses of the system and its future potential. 

Type II restriction endonucleases recognize specific base sequences in double-stranded DNA, and cleave both strands of the duplex. More than 600 restriction endonucleases have been reported in the literature. Some 121 restriction endonucleases are listed in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology as commercially available ( 3). Table II, adapted from the 1988 Sigma Chemical Company Catalog, lists 35 of the endonucleases available from that source. Endonucleases are found in many bacteria where their function is to hydrolyze foreign DNA introduced by phage infection, conjugation or transformation. The first restriction endonucleases were discovered and isolated in 1968 (4,5). 

The cloning of functional genes from natural microbial consortia is dependent on the high quality of the extracted and purified environmental DNA since the enzymatic modifications required during the cloning steps are sensitive to contamination by various biotic and abiotic components that are present in environmental ecosystems. For example, extraction of DNA from soils always results in coextraction of humic substances, which interfere with restriction enzyme digestion and PCR amplification and reduce transformation efficiency and DNA hybridization specificity [19 -22], Therefore, extraction methods have been developed to remove or minimize contamination of the purified DNA by humic or other interfering substances. Several protocols for the isolation of bacterial community DNA from various environmental samples have been reported in recent years. These methods are based either on re-...

Unless specified otherwise, all reductions included in this chapter gave good yields of >90% enantiomeric excess (ee) products. Not all products of enzyme-catalyzed reactions meet the minimum % ee levels normally required for asymmetric synthetic applications. However, protocols exist for improving ee s of imperfectly specific enzyme-mediated transformations.
