Subject fragmentation

Organic chemistry as a subject fragments—synthetic and Natural Products... 

When subjected to an electron bombardment whose energy level is much higher than that of hydrocarbon covalent bonds (about 10 eV), a molecule of mass A/loses an electron and forms the molecular ion, the bonds break and produce an entirely new series of ions or fragments . Taken together, the fragments relative intensities constitute a constant for the molecule and can serve to identify it this is the basis of qualitative analysis. 

The contents of each tube are then subjected to electrophoresis m separate lanes on the same sheet of polyacrylamide gel and the DNAs located by autoradiography A typical electrophoresis gel of a DNA fragment containing 50 nucleotides will exhibit a pattern of 50 bands distributed among the four lanes with no overlaps Each band cor responds to a polynucleotide that is one nucleotide longer than the one that precedes it (which may be m a different lane) One then simply reads the nucleotide sequence according to the lane m which each succeeding band appears... 

The criteria for insensitive explosives subjected to ha2ard tests permit no reaction more violent than burning in slow and fast cook-off tests and fragment and bullet tests, no propagation in sympathetic detonation tests, no detonation when stmck by a shaped charge jet, no sustained burning when hit by a small fragment, and such special tests as may be required by the use of the explosive. 

Nepeta (Lamiaceae) is a genus of perennial or annual herbs found in Asia, Europe and North Africa. About 250 species of Nepeta are reported of which, 67 species are present in Iran. Some species of this genus are important medicinal plants and their extracts have been used for medicinal purposes. Aerial parts of Nepeta sintenisii Bornm. was subjected to hydrodistillation and the chemical composition of isolated essential oil has been analyzed by GC/MS method for first time. Identification of components of the volatile oil was based on retention indices relative to n-alkanes and computer matching with the Wiley275.L library, as well as by comparison of the fragmentation patterns of the mass spectra with those reported in the literature. 

By using various trapping reagents, it has been deduced that the transannular fragmentation is rapidly reversible. The cyclization of the fragmented radical C is less favorable, and it is trapped at rates which exceed that for recyclization under most circumstances. " Radicals derived from ethers and acetals by hydrogen abstraction are subject to fragmentation, with formation of a ketone or ester, respectively. 

I been established to serve as a registry of convicted offenders. When a DNA sample is obtained from a crime scene, the sample is subjected to cleavage with restriction endonucleases to cut out fragments containing the STR loci, the fragments are amplified using the polymerase chain reaction, and the sequences of the fragments are determined. 

The outcomes of intramolecular cyclizations of hydroxy vinylepoxides in more complicated systems can be difficult to predict. In a study of the synthesis of the JKLM ring fragment of dguatoxin, epoxide 44 was prepared and subjected to acid-mediated cydization conditions (Scheme 9.24) [114]. Somewhat surprisingly, the expected oxepane 45 was not formed, but instead a mixture of tetrahydropyran 46 and tetrahydrofuran 47 was obtained, both compounds products of attack of the C6 and C5 benzyl ether oxygens, respectively, on the allylic oxirane position (C3). Repetition of the reaction with dimsylpotassium gave a low yield of the desired 45 along with considerable amounts of tetrahydropyran 48. 

When hydrogenolysis of vinylepoxides is used sequentially, it allows for the controlled formation of 1,3-polyols. In the synthesis of the C11-C23 fragment 92 of preswinholide A, hydrogenolysis of ( ) olefin 93 gave the syn isomer 94 (Scheme 9.37) [159]. Methylation, reduction, epoxidation, oxidation, and olefmation of this material then gave vinylepoxide 95, which was subjected to hydrogenolysis to afford 96 in excellent yield. Repetition of this sequence ultimately afforded the desired derivative 94. 

B. 5-Hexynal. To a solution of 5.60 g. (0.050 mole) of 2,3-epoxycyclohexanone in 120 ml. of benzene in a 500-ml. round-bottomed flask is added 10.82 g. (0.051 mole) of trans-1 -amino-2,3 diphenylaziri-dine.2 Initially, after brief swirling at room temperature, the reaction mixture is a colorless, homogeneous solution however it rapidly turns yellow and cloudy due to separation of water. After 2 hours the benzene and water are removed as an azeotrope under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator with the bath maintained at approximately 30°. The resulting crude mixture of diastereomeric hydrazones weighs 15.4 g. (Note 7) and is subjected directly to the fragmentation reaction (Note 8). 

Assigning a mechanism for the formation of products resulting from ionic intermediates is aided by our knowledge of the probable primary ions and the elementary ion-molecule reactions which they may undergo. The second subject to be examined is the applicability of fragmentation patterns and mass spectrometric ion-molecule reaction studies to radiolysis conditions. Lastly, the formation and the chemistry of the ionic species in ethylene radiolysis will be summarized.
