Temperature freshness

The entire procedure is performed in plastic (polystyrene) tubes and carried out at room temperature. Freshly collected venous blood is anticoagulated with hirudin (1 volume + 9 volumes of animal blood) or ACD solution (1 volume + 9 volumes of human blood) and centrifuged at 170 x g for 15 min to obtain platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The PRP-supematant is carefully removed, and the rest is further centrifuged at 1500 x g for 10 min to obtain platelet-poor plasma (PPP). PRP is diluted with PPP to a platelet count of 3 x 108/ml before use in the aggregation assays. To obtain washed platelets (WP), 8.5 volumes of human blood are collected into 1.5 volumes of ACD and centrifuged as for PRP. PRP is acidified to a pH of 6.5... 

The defatted, air-dried plant material is extracted with methanol, either cold or hot, or with 50% aqueous methanol at ambient temperature. Fresh plant materials have to be processed immediately after collection to prevent fungal growth and enzymatic hydrolysis of the saponins. During extraction, care should be taken as saponins may undergo transformation, e.g. esterification of acidic saponins, hydrolysis of labile ester groups or transacylation, etc. Often the crude extract is suspended in water and partitioned using ethyl acetate and -butanol successively. Most of the saponin constituents are found in the -butanol soluble fraction. However, the low-polar saponin constituents may be present in the ethyl acetate part while the most highly polar saponins may be found in the aqueous layer, as in the case of Saponaria officinalis [2],...

Place 0 5 ml. of acetone, 20 ml. of 10% aqueous potassium iodide solution and 8 ml. of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in a 50 ml. conical flask, and then add 20 ml. of a freshly prepared molar solution of sodium hypochlorite. Well mix the contents of the flask, when the yellow iodoform will begin to separate almost immediately allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then filter at the pump, wash with cold w ater, and drain thoroughly. Yield of Crude material, 1 4 g. Recrystallise the crude iodoform from methylated spirit. For this purpose, place the crude material in a 50 ml. round-bottomed flask fitted with a reflux water-condenser, add a small quantity of methylated spirit, and heat to boiling on a water-bath then add more methylated spirit cautiously down the condenser until all the iodoform has dissolved. Filter the hot solution through a fluted filter-paper directly into a small beaker or conical flask, and then cool in ice-water. The iodoform rapidly crystallises. Filter at the pump, drain thoroughly and dry. 

Place 50 g. of anhydrous calcium chloride and 260 g. (323 ml.) of rectified spirit (95 per cent, ethyl alcohol) in a 1-litre narrow neck bottle, and cool the mixture to 8° or below by immersion in ice water. Introduce slowly 125 g. (155 ml.) of freshly distilled acetaldehyde, b.p. 20-22° (Section 111,65) down the sides of the bottle so that it forms a layer on the alcoholic solution. Close the bottle with a tightly fitting cork and shake vigorously for 3-4 minutes a considerable rise in temperature occurs so that the stopper must be held well down to prevent the volatilisation of the acetaldehyde. Allow the stoppered bottle to stand for 24-30 hours with intermittent shaking. (After 1-2 hours the mixture separates into two layers.) Separate the upper layer ca. 320 g.) and wash it three times with 80 ml. portions of water. Dry for several hours over 6 g. of anhydrous potassium carbonate and fractionate with an efficient column (compare Section 11,17). Collect the fraction, b.p. 101-104°, as pure acetal. The yield is 200 g. 

Dissolve 57 g. of dry malonic acid in 92 5 ml. of dry P3rridine contained in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask, cool the solution in ice, and add 57 g. (70 ml.) of freshly distilled n-heptaldehyde (oenanthol) with stirring or vigorous shaking. After a part of the aldehyde has been added, the mixture rapidly seta to a mass of crystals. Insert a cotton wool (or calcium chloride) tube into the mouth of the flask and allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for 60 hours with frequent shaking. Finally, warm the mixture on a water bath until the evolution of carbon dioxide ceases (about 8 hours) and then pour into an equal volume of water. Separate the oily layer and shake it with 150 ml. of 25 per cent hydrochloric acid to remove pyridine. Dissolve the product in benzene, wash with water, dry with anhydrous magnesium sulphate, and distil under reduced pressure. Collect the ap-nonenoic acid at 130-13272 mm. The yield is 62 g. 

The best results are obtained with freshly prepared xanthhydrol (reduction of xanthone with sodium amalgam. Section VII,16). Dissolve 0 -25 g. of xanthhydrol and 0 -25g. of the primary sulphonamide in 10 ml. of glacial acetic acid. Shake for 2-3 minutes at the laboratory temperature and allow to stand for 60-90 minutes. Filter oflf the derivative, recrystallise it from dioxan-water (3 1), and dry at room temperature under water pump suction for 30 minutes. 

Mix 42 5 g. of acetone cyanohydrin (Section 111,75) and 75 g. of freshly powdered ammonium carbonate in a small beaker, warm the mixture on a water bath FUME CUPBOARD) and stir with a thermometer. Gentle action commences at 50° and continues during about 3 hours at 70-80°. To complete the reaction, raise the temperature to 90° and maintain it at this point until the mixture is quiescent (ca. 30 minutes). The colourless (or pale yellow) residue solidifies on coohng. Dissolve it in 60 ml. of hot water, digest with a little decolourising carbon, and filter rapidly through a pre-heated Buchner funnel. Evaporate the filtrate on a hot plate until crystals appear on the surface of the liquid, and then cool in ice. Filter off the white crystals with suction, drain well, and then wash twice with 4 ml. portions of ether this crop of crystals of dimethylhydantoin is almost pure and melts at 176°. Concentrate the mother liquor to the crj staUisation point, cool in ice, and collect the... 

In a 500 ml. three-necked flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer and dropping funnel, place 300 ml. of 88-90 per cent, formic acid and add 70 ml. of 30 per cent, hydrogen peroxide. Then introduce slowly 41 g. (51 ml.) of freshly distilled cyclohexene (Section 111,12) over a period of 20-30 minutes maintain the temperature of the reaction mixture between 40° and 45° by cooling with an ice bath and controlling the rate of addition. Keep the reaction mixture at 40° for 1 hour after all the cyclohexene has been added and then allow to stand overnight at room temperature. Remove most of the formic acid and water by distillation from a water bath under reduced pressure. Add an ice-cold solution of 40 g. of sodium hydroxide in 75 ml. of water in small portions to the residual mixture of the diol and its formate take care that the tempera...
