Figure 4 A schematic representation of the experimentai approach for time-resoived XAS measurements. XAS provides local structural and electronic information about the nearest coordination environment surrounding the catalytic metal ion within the active site of a metalloprotein in solution. Spectral analysis of the various spectral regions yields complementary electronic and structural information, which allows the determination of the oxidation state of the X-ray absorbing metal atom and precise determination of distances between the absorbing metal atom and the protein atoms that surround it. Time-dependent XAS provides insight into the lifetimes and local atomic structures of metal-protein complexes during enzymatic reactions on millisecond to minute time scales, (a) The drawing describes a conventional stopped-flow machine that is used to rapidly mix the reaction components (e.g., enzyme and substrate) and derive kinetic traces as shown in (b). (b) The enzymatic reaction is studied by pre-steady-state kinetic analysis to dissect out the time frame of individual kinetic phases, (c) The stopped-flow apparatus is equipped with a freeze-quench device. Sample aliquots are collected after mixing and rapidly froze into X-ray sample holders by the freeze-quench device, (d) Frozen samples are subjected to X-ray data collection and analysis.

The position of the isotope labels is indicated by. A is the Arrhenius preexponential factor in the rate equation E is the experimental activation energy k is the rate coefficient for elimination from the isotopically labelled substrate. Values calculated from the infrared stretching frequencies of the C-H and C-D bonds in the substrates and derived for C-T by assuming harmonicity and using the reduced mass relationship. 

A great number of important publications on the synthesis of the title compounds, their substrates and derivatives, methods of incorporating such residues into complex organic molecules as a part of the total synthesis of the latter, as well as papers on the synthesis of N-hydroxydiketopiperazine and N-hydroxypeptides have appeared in recent years. Several syntheses of analogues of naturally occurring compounds have also been described. 

Direct additions of aryl groups to the C=N bond has been a popular method in the past [2a], although the poor electrophilicity of the azomethine carbon severely complicated this transformation, due to a tendency for the imine substrates and derivatives to undergo enolization. To circumscribe this problem, several arylating agents were studied, and it was in fact the pioneering studies of the catalytic enantioselective arylation of imines reported by Hayashi and coworkers that have led to the application of rhodium catalysts in this particular catalytic transformation. Their work dates back... 

Racemization of the remnant substrate in a DKR process can be performed either spontaneously or by the employment of a chemo- or biocatalyst, which must be compatible with the reaction conditions used for the KR reaction. In the case of sec-alcohols, most of successful DKRs have been carried out by the use of ruthenium complex catalysts, soluble in the organic reaction media, which promote racemization through redox processes. The first examples describe the resolution of 1-phenylethanol (rac-1) by the combination of a rhodium catalyst (Rh2(OAc) ) with Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase [22], although more effective results were afforded by Backvall and coworkers [23], who developed the DKR of the same substrate and derivatives catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase (CALB) and a ruthenium complex (Shvo s catalyst, 2 (Figure 14.2)), affording excellent conversions and enantiomeric excess (ee) values [24]. 

There is a fair amount of work reported with films at the mercury-air interface. Rice and co-workers [107] used grazing incidence x-ray diffraction to determine that a crystalline stearic acid monolayer induces order in the Hg substrate. Quinone derivatives spread at the mercury-n-hexane interface form crystalline structures governed primarily by hydrogen bonding interactions [108]. 

InstmmentaHy, both the hiding power and tinting strength can be determined from the amount of the incident light reflectance of coated white and black substrates. Relationships derived from Kubelka and Munk theory (6) are appHed in actual calculations. 

Rosin, modified rosins, and derivatives are used in hot-melt adhesives. They are based primarily on ethylene—vinyl acetate copolymers. The rosin derivative is used in approximately a 1 1 1 concentration with the polymer and a wax. The resin provides specific adhesion to the substrates and reduces the viscosity at elevated temperatures, allowing the adhesive to be appHed as a molten material. 

From a tributylstannyl phosphate BnBr, Et4N Br , CH3CN, reflux. Phenacyl, 4-nitrobenzyl, and simple alkyl derivatives were similarly prepared. Yields are substrate and alkylating-agent dependent. ... 

Studies of die structures of cuprate species were initiated to elucidate die niedi-anisnis by wbidi tliey interact witli substrates and to understand dieit special reactivities. tn die early days tliese investigaiions were restricted to solution studies by spectroscopic tediniques. It was not until 1982 dial tlie dtst example of a cuprate species - [iCu Pbi-jiLiiTHFj))] - was stiuctutally diatacterlzed by X-tay crystal stiucture deterniination [ 100] ivide infra). It sbotild be noted tliat most of diese studies, reviewed previously [29, 45, 101], were limited to "simple" alkyl and aryl derivatives. 

Thiazolo[3,2-/>][l,2,4]triazoles are often sufficiently reactive to be brominated in the thiazole nucleus (see also B,5). Thus, although the unsubstituted substrate and the 2-phenyl and 2-methyl derivatives would not react with NBS in refluxing chloroform, the 5-methyl, 2,5-dimethyl, and 5-methyl-2-phenyl compounds gave 6-bromo products (71JAP71/26498 74JHC459). 

In this section we will consider the energetics of exopolysaccharide production in some detail. We will see how chemostat (substrate limited) derived yield coefficients and slfbstrate elemental balances can be used to determine how the nature of the substrate influences... 

The acyl phosphonates, acyl phosphine oxides and related compounds (e.g. 81. 82) absorb strongly in the near UV (350-400 nm) and generally decompose by rescission in a manner analogous to the benzoin derivatives.381"285 Quantum yields vary from 0.3 to 1.0 depending on structure. The phosphinyl radicals are highly reactive towards unsaturated substrates and appear to have a high specificity for addition v.v abstraction (see 3.4.3.2). 

Radical induced grafting may be carried out in solution, in the melt phase,292 29 or as a solid state process.296 This section will focus on melt phase grafting to polyolefin substrates but many of the considerations are generic. The direct grafting of monomers onto polymers, in particular polyolefins, in the melt phase by reactive extrusion has been widely studied. Most recently, the subject has been reviewed by Moad1 9 and by Russell.292 More details on reactive extrusion as a technique can be found in volumes edited by Xanthos," A1 Malaika and Baker et a 21 7 The process most often involves combining a frcc-radical initiator (most commonly a peroxide) and a monomer or macromonomer with the polyolefin as they are conveyed through the extruder. Monomers commonly used in this context include MAII (Section 7.6.4.1), maleimidc derivatives and malcate esters (Section 7.6.4.2), (meth)acrylic acid and (meth)acrylate esters (Section 7.6.43), S, AMS and derivatives (Section 7.6.4.4), vinylsilancs (Section 7.6.4.5) and vinyl oxazolines (Section 7.6.4.6). 

Aziridines can be prepared directly from double-bond compounds by photolysis or thermolysis of a mixture of the substrate and an azide. The reaction has been carried out with R = aryl, cyano, EtOOC, and RSO2, as well as other groups. The reaction can take place by at least two pathways. In one, the azide is converted to a nitrene, which adds to the double bond in a manner analogous to that of carbene addition (15-62). Reaction of NsONHC02Et/ CuO [Ns = A(/7-toluenesulfonyl-inimo)] and a conjugated ketone, for example, leads to the A-carboethoxy aziridine derivative.Calcium oxide has also been used to generate the nitrene.Other specialized reagents have also been used." ... 

It is also difficult to determine exactly the relative stabilities of vinyl cations and the analogous saturated carbonium ions. The relative rates of solvolysis of vinyl substrates and their analogous saturated derivatives have been estimated to be 10 to 10 (131, 134, 140, 154) in favor of the saturated substrates. These rate differences, however, do not accurately reflect the inherent differences in stability between vinyl cations and the analogous carbonium ions, for they include effects that result from the differences in ground states between reactants, as well as possible differences between the intermediate ions resulting from differences in solvation, counter-ion effects, etc. The same difficulties apply in the attempt to estimate relative ion stabilities from relative rates of electrophilic additions to acetylenes and olefins, (218), or from relative rates of homopropargylic and homoallylic solvolysis.
