Ostwald (Zeitsch. physikal Chem. 1900, 34,248) suggested the term coupled reaction Mellor (Chemical Statics and Dynamics (Longmans, 1904, p 333)) speaks of sympathetic reactions the usual term of induced reaction is adopted in this work. 

This is the primary action, followed immediately by the secondary, induced, or sympathetic reaction ... 

Few would dispute that engineering noise controls involve a high level of expertise. Mismatched vibration isolators could set up a sympathetic reaction and bounce a machine off its mounts. Noise absorbing coefficients of sound insulation have to be matched to the spectrum of the noise. Noise treatment of duct work has to take into account required air flow. But what about other measures like testing hearing and issuing earplugs ... 

Sympathetic reaction testing is described in STANAG 4396. A test with MTV containing stores 218 Mk 2 and MJU lOB has been reported to exclusively yield type V reaction. The general test setup for 218 Mk 2 flares is shown in Figure 19.20. The results are listed in Table 19.12. 

Figure 19.20 Test setup for sympathetic reaction with 218 Mk 2 flares.

Two large reactions occurred in the test. The first was due to the donor and sympathetic reaction of 14 acceptor flares in the same box. The second reaction that occurred 2 min, 52 s iater was due to fast cookoff of 15 flares in the other box in the same container. 

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. 

There is a drive to develop insensitive or less sensitive munitions, ie, those less likely to accidental or sympathetic detonation. A leading candidate is 3-nitro-l,2,4-triazolin-5-one [930-33-6] (59), made by the reaction of semicarbazide and formic acid to give l,2,4-triazolin-5-one [932-64-9] foUowed by nitration of the triazolone (218). 

Reaction of dibenzylamine with ethylene oxide affords the amino alcohol, 82. Treatment of that product with thionyl chloride gives the a-sympathetic blocking agent, dibenamine (83). (Condensation of phenol with propylene chlorohydrin (84) gives the alcohol, 85. Reaction with thionyl chloride affords the chloride (86). Use of the halide to alkylate ethanolamine affords the secondary amine (87). Alkylation of this last with benzyl chloride... 

Epinephrine itself does find some use in clinical medicine. The drug is used in order to increase blood pressure in cases of circulatory collapse, and to relax the bronchial muscle in acute asthma and in anaphylactic reactions. These activities follow directly from the agent s physiologic role. The biogenetic precursor of epinephrine, norepinephrine, has activity in its own right as a mediator of sympathetic nerve action. (An apocryphal story has it that the term nor is derived from a label seen on a bottle of a key primary amine in a laboratory in Germany N ohne... 

The guanidine function, when attached to an appropriate lipophilic function, often yields compounds that exhibit antihypertensive activity by means of their peripheral sympathetic blocking effects. Attachment of an aromatic ring via a phenolic ether seems to fulfill these structural requirements. Alkylation of 2,6-dichlorophenol with bromochloroethane leads to the intermediate, 58. Alkylation of hydrazine with that halide gives 59. Reaction of the hydrazine with S-methylthiourea affords the guanidine, guanoclor (60). ... 

Reaction of pyroc techol with epichlorohydrin in the presence of base affords the benzodioxan derivative, 136, (The reaction may well involve initial displacement of halogen by phenoxide followed by opening of the oxirane by the anion from the second phenolic group.) Treatment of the alcohol with thio-nyl chloride gives the corresponding chloro compound (137). Displacement of halogen by means of diethylamine affords piper-oxan (138), a compound with a-sympathetic blocking activity. 

These cascades of reactions need time in the range of seconds synaptic transmission through GPCRs is slow. All further postsynaptic changes depend on the type of postsynaptic cell. For example activation of 32-adrenoceptors causes in the heart an increase of the rate and force of contraction in skeletal muscle glycogenolysis and tremor in smooth muscle relaxation in bronchial glands secretion and in sympathetic nerve terminals an increase in transmitter release. 

The compensation effect occurs in a group of related reactions for which the influence of changes in A on reaction rate is offset to a greater or lesser extent by a sympathetic variation in E, often expressed as [36]...

Boudart [4] TOFs can either be independent of particle size (structure-insensitive reactions), increase (antipathetic structure sensitivity) or decrease (sympathetic structure sensitivity) with growing particle size, or cross a maximum (Figure 2). 

The mechanisms of the influence of the SNS on the induction of CD8+ Tregs are likely directed towards both the activation and function of these cells (fig. 2). Sympathetic neurons are a source of (i) norepinephrine that has strong immunoregulatory effects [35] including the proliferation of liver NKT cells necessary for the initiation of contact sensitivity reactions (ii) immunomodulatory NPY [38] that may promote the production of IFN-y necessary for the function of CD8+ suppressor T cells (see below), and (hi) tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) [41] that converts plasminogen to plasmin that in turn is an activator of immunosuppressive TGF-(3 [42].
