Tris methanol, reaction

As in the case of normal supported catalysts, we tried with this inverse supported catalyst system to switch over from the thin-layer catalyst structure to the more conventional powder mixture with a grain size smaller than the boundary layer thickness. The reactant in these studies (27) was methanol and the reaction its decomposition or oxidation the catalyst was zinc oxide and the support silver. The particle size of the catalyst was 3 x 10-3 cm hence, not the entire particle in contact with silver can be considered as part of the boundary layer. However, a part of the catalyst particle surface will be close to the zone of contact with the metal. Table VI gives the activation energies and the start temperatures for both methanol reactions, irrespective of the exact composition of the products. 

Because methanol eould be introdueed into the allyl carbonate [10] by palla-dium(O)- catalysis, it appeared worthwhile to try the reaction of [10] and [lla,b] with different carbohydrates. This should lead to a new type of surfactant in which the polar group is attached to the middle of the fatty acid alkyl chain. They should be acid resistant contrary to the glyeosides obtained in the Fischer synthesis. 

As a logical corollary, we have tried the reaction of dhnesitylsilylene with 1,2,3-butatrienes, in the hope of an efhcient route to the bisalkylidenesiliranes. In fact, the photolysis of 2,2-dimesitylhexamethyltrisilane and an excess of tetramethylbutatriene followed by methanolysis produced 94 together with trace amounts of 95 and 96 (equation 25) . The structures 94 and 95 are consistent with the intermediacy of bisalkylidenesiliranes 91 and the allenic silirane 92. Actually, in the absence of methanol, 91 can be isolated as a fairly stable compound, while low yields and hygroscopic instability precluded the isolation of 92. In the photolysis of 91, silatrimethylenemethane (93) is assumed to be initially formed. It then undergoes a 1,4-hydrogen shift to produce 96. 

The reactions of trialkylboranes with bromine and iodine are gready accelerated by bases. The use of sodium methoxide in methanol gives good yields of the corresponding alkyl bromides or iodides. AH three primary alkyl groups are utilized in the bromination reaction and only two in the iodination reaction. Secondary groups are less reactive and the yields are lower. Both Br and I reactions proceed with predominant inversion of configuration thus, for example, tri( X(9-2-norbomyl)borane yields >75% endo product (237,238). In contrast, the dark reaction of bromine with tri( X(9-2-norbomyl)borane yields cleanly X(9-2-norbomyl bromide (239). Consequentiy, the dark bromination complements the base-induced bromination. 

Note The pre- and post-treatment of the chromatograms with the basic tri-ethylamine solution, which can be replaced by an alcoholic solution of sodium hydroxide [1,4] or a phosphate buffer solution pH = 8.0 (c = 0.2 mol/1) [5], serves to stabilize the fluorescence of the amino derivatives [2]. A final spraying with methanolic hydrochloric acid (chci = 5 mol/1) or 70% perchloric acid renders the detection reaction highly specific for histamine [4] and for catecholamines and indolamines [5]. 

The reaction of 2, 3, 5 -tri-0-acetylguanosine (32a) with diazomethane in methanol-acetone mixture may also be mentioned here. 

It was found that the reaction of the lactone glycosides (5/ )- and (5S)-5-methoxy-5-(2,3,5-tris-(9-benzoyl-/3-D-ribofuranosyl)-2(5//)-furanone270and271 with hydrazine hydrate in methanol gave two products the pyridazinone 272 and a mixture of diastereomeric A -aminopyrrolinones 273, which could not be separated, in yields of 26 and 71%, respectively (Scheme 70) (87JOC4521). 

Nucleophilic displacement reactions One of the most common reactions in organic synthesis is the nucleophilic displacement reaction. The first attempt at a nucleophilic substitution reaction in a molten salt was carried out by Ford and co-workers [47, 48, 49]. FFere, the rates of reaction between halide ion (in the form of its tri-ethylammonium salt) and methyl tosylate in the molten salt triethylhexylammoni-um triethylhexylborate were studied (Scheme 5.1-20) and compared with similar reactions in dimethylformamide (DMF) and methanol. The reaction rates in the molten salt appeared to be intermediate in rate between methanol and DMF (a dipolar aprotic solvent loiown to accelerate Sn2 substitution reactions). 

Raston has reported an acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction [89] in which compounds such as 3,4-dimethoxyphenylmethanol were cyclized to cyclotriveratrylene (Scheme 5.1-57). The reactions were carried out in tributylhexylammonium bis(tri-fluoromethanesulfonyl)amide [NBu3(QHi3)][(CF3S02)2N] with phosphoric or p-toluenesulfonic acid catalysts. The product was isolated by dissolving the ionic liq-uid/catalyst in methanol and filtering off the cyclotriveratrylene product as white crystals. Evaporation of the methanol allowed the ionic liquid and catalyst to be regenerated.

The regenerated aequorin was measured with a 10 pi portion of a reaction mixture (0.5 ml) made with 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, containing 1 mM EDTA, 5 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 10 pi of methanolic 0.6 mM coelenterazine, and various amounts of apoaequorin. The luminescence activity of apoaequorin was measured in 2 ml of 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, containing 0.5 M NaCl, 2 mM CaCb, 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 10 pi of methanolic 0.2 mM coelenterazine, and various amounts of apoaequorin.

Analogous reaction of 4-bromobutyric acid 152 with excess N-benzylhexamethyl-disilazane 158 in butyrolactone as polar solvent and added methanol affords, after 1 h at 10 °C, 96% 4-trimethylsilyloxy-N-benzylbutyramide 159, which, on transsilylation with methanol, gives the free crystaUine N-benzyl-4-hydroxybutyramide 160 and methoxytrimethylsilane 13 a [3]. Likewise, reaction of 152 with excess N-2-(tri-methylsilyloxyethyl)hexamethyldisilazane 161 in butyrolactone-methanol affords... 

Membranes (50 pi in a total assay volume of 100 pi) were incubated with UDP-Gal (0.1 mM) and MgSO (10 mM) in 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer pH 7.5, for 10 or 60 min. Reactions were stopped by heating at 100°C for 3 min. Lupin galactan (0.1 mg) was added as a 0.1% solution, methanol was added to give a final concentration of 70% by volume, and the tubes were capped, heated at 70°C for 5 min and centrifuged (13000g 5 min). Supernatants were discarded or retained for analysis. Pellets were washed twice more with 70% methanol at 70 C and the supernatants were discarded. The final pellets were either dissolved in preparation for scintillation counting, or were suspended in water and freeze dried in preparation for analysis. 

Our standard incorporation assays contained resuspended particulate enzyme, labelled UDP-Gal (0.1 mM) and (10 mM) in resuspension buffer (Tris, pH 7.5). After incubation, reaction mixtures were heated briefly to 100°C and soluble lupin galactan was added, to ensure the precipitation of small amounts of galactan formed in the en me reaction and dissolved during the heating step. Precipitation of macromolecular products was achieved by adding methanol to a final concentration of 70%. The pellet was freed of soluble labelled products, including residual UDP-Gal, by repeated extraction with hot 70% methanol and was then analysed for labelled (l- )-P-D-galactan. The supernatant was analysed for soluble labelled products.
