Standard Test Substrates

The first asymmetric intramolecular Stetter reactions were reported by Enders and co-workers utilising triazolium salt pre-catalyst 125. Treatment of substrate 123 generated 1,4-dicarbonyl compound 124 in good yield and enantioselectivity [56]. These salicylaldehyde-derived substrates 123 have since become the standard test substrates for the development of new catalysts for the asymmetric intramolecular Stetter reaction. Bach and co-workers have achieved moderate enantioselectivities using axially-chiral thiazolium pre-catalyst 126 [41], whilst Miller and co-workers have developed peptidic thiazolium pre-catalyst 127 [57]. In 2005, Rovis and coworkers showed that the NHCs derived from triazolium salts 128-130 were excellent catalysts for the asymmetric intramolecular Stetter reaction of a wide range of substrates, giving typically excellent yields and enantioselectivities [58]. The iV-pentafluorophenyl catalyst 129 currently represents the state of the art in asymmetric Stetter reactions (Scheme 12.24) [59]. 

Substrates 36 to 40 (Fig. 30.9) have become standard test substrates, and many catalysts have been evaluated with this set of alkenes. For that reason the hydrogenation of these test substrates is discussed in one section. Some catalysts have also been used to hydrogenate a wider variety of alkenes (see Section 30.3.2).

A range of structurally different chiral primary amines was converted into the corresponding iminium tetraphenylborate salts (Fig. 5.3) and tested in the asymmetric epoxidation of a standard test substrate, 1-phenylcyclohexene, using Oxone (4 equiv) as the stoichiometric oxidant, sodium carbonate (8 equiv) as base, in acetonitrile/water (2 1) at 0 °C (Table 5.1) [19,21]. 

In this way racemic starting materials 11 or the synthetically important cycloalkenyl derivatives 14 (Scheme 11) can be converted to enantiomerically enriched products. The most widely studied derivative is 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate 11 (R=Ph, X=OAc) which has become the standard test substrate for evaluating enantioselective catalysts (see Sect. 9.1). 

The removal of flux residues from soldered assemblies is more difficult than the removal of solder paste from stencils and misprints. In cooperation with a reputable local university, various lead-free solder pastes were printed onto standard test substrates and then soldered in a reflow oven at the specific temperature profiles of each respective solder...

While detail may be found in the ASTM D-3330 or PSTC-1 and PSTC-2 standards, the peel test is typically carried out as follows The tape is conditioned at 23°C and 50% relative humidity for 1 day. Next, the tape is rolled down with a weighted standard roller onto a clean test substrate (usually polished 302 stainless steel), allowed to dwell for a specified time (usually 1 min), and then clamped with the testing fixture in the test machine and peeled at a specified rate. 

The catalytic activity of these new complexes (12,13, and 14) was tested by using the standard RCM substrate, diethyldiallylmalonate (Eq. (9)). Results are shown in Table Moreover, the thermal stability of the imidazol-2-ylidene bearing... 

Ghosh et al. [70] reviewed a few years ago the utihty of C2-symmetric chiral bis(oxazoline)-metal complexes for catalytic asymmetric synthesis, and they reserved an important place for Diels-Alder and related transformations. Bis(oxazoline) copper(II)triflate derivatives have been indeed described by Evans et al. as effective catalysts for the asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction [71]. The bis(oxazoline) Ugand 54 allowed the Diels-Alder transformation of two-point binding N-acylimide dienophiles with good yields, good diastereos-electivities (in favor of the endo diastereoisomer) and excellent ee values (up to 99%) [72]. These substrates represent the standard test for new catalysts development. To widen the use of Lewis acidic chiral Cu(ll) complexes, Evans et al. prepared and tested bis(oxazoHnyl)pyridine (PyBOx, structure 55, Scheme 26) as ligand [73]. 

However, similar NHC architectures employing aromatic side chains have shown more encouraging results. In 2000, Nolan and co-workers reported the synthesis and characterisation of the NHC-Ru complex 20 bearing a sterically more demanding N,N -bis-[2,6-(di-/xo-propyl)phenyl]imidazol-2-ylidene (IPr) ligand [27, 28] (Fig. 3.5). Standard RCM substrate 1 was used to test the catalytic performance of 20. The ring closure was found to be complete after 15 min by using 5 mol% 20 as catalyst at room temperature. Under identical conditions, 15... 

There are three general types of data contained in three data files. These are illustrated for the exterior hardboard exposure system in Table III. The first file contains the information about the substrate. This includes an identification number for the panel, the date, the location and type of exposure to which the panel was subjected, the manufacturer of the substrate, the trade name, and the results of a series of standard test to evaluate the properties of the substrate. This information allows correlations to be made between the performance of the coating and the particular properties... 

When assessing catalytic results reported for new ligands, one must bear in mind that their quality and relevance differ widely. For most new ligands only experiments with selected model test substrates carried out under standard conditions are available, and very few have already been applied to industrially relevant problems. The test substrates for alkenes used most frequently are Aceta-mido Cinnamic Acid (ACA) or its methyl ester (MAC), Methyl Acetamido Acrylate (MAA), ITaconic Acid or DiMethyl ITaconate (ITA, DMIT) and selected aryl enamides (Fig. 25.3).

Our initial work on the TEMPO / Mg(N03)2 / NBS system was inspired by the work reported by Yamaguchi and Mizuno (20) on the aerobic oxidation of the alcohols over aluminum supported ruthenium catalyst and by our own work on a highly efficient TEMP0-[Fe(N03)2/ bipyridine] / KBr system, reported earlier (22). On the basis of these two systems, we reasoned that a supported ruthenium catalyst combined with either TEMPO alone or promoted by some less elaborate nitrate and bromide source would produce a more powerful and partially recyclable catalyst composition. The initial screening was done using hexan-l-ol as a model substrate with MeO-TEMPO as a catalyst (T.lmol %) and 5%Ru/C as a co-catalyst (0.3 mol% Ru) in acetic acid solvent. As shown in Table 1, the binary composition under the standard test conditions did not show any activity (entry 1). When either N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) or Mg(N03)2 (MNT) was added, a moderate increase in the rate of oxidation was seen especially with the addition of MNT (entries 2 and 3).

Haltner and Oliver found that several metallic sulphides brought about an improvement in the load-carrying capacity when mixed with molybdenum disulphide. The sulphides included stannic and stannous sulphides, lead sulphide, ferrous suiphide and cuprous and cupric sulphides, and in a standard test procedure there was up to a ten-fold increase in load-carrying capacity. They speculated that the action of the added sulphides was similar to that of extreme-pressure additives in liquid lubricants. This would imply the formation of some protective film on the substrate surface. Pardee later suggested that the effective mechanism was more likely to be oxidation inhibition. An alternative would seem to be the possibility that certain sulphides can act as an additional source of sulphur to form sulphide on the substrate surface, and thus improve adhesion of the molybdenum disulphide, as discussed in the previous chapter. 

Inorganic membranes can function as the capturing medium of clays, soils and other particulate contaminants in fluids. The inorganic membranes, such as silver membranes, containing the deposit of the contaminants or minerals are then used as the X-ray diffraction (XRD) substrate for material analysis of the particulates. In some cases, they are part of the established test procedures as a National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) standard XRD substrate.
