Two-stage activation method

The two-stage activation procedure for the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides developed in these laboratories [23] combines the chemistries of glycosyl fluorides and sulfides. It is, therefore, instructional to discuss first, the use of these two classes of glycosyl donors in oligosaccharide synthesis, before describing the two-stage activation method.

Since both these proteins are cofactors and not proteases, the assay system for synthetic substrates involves a complicated method that requires the availability of purified coagulation factors. For Factor VIII, the assay is based on the rate of Factor X activation, and the conditions must be chosen so as to make the test proportional only to the Factor VIII, activity. In 1979, Segat-chian reported on a two-stage test method that utilized the chromogenic substrate S-2222 (S12). In this assay the inhibitor hirudin is added to block thrombin s activity so the generation of Factor Xa is the critical parameter. Recently Rosen has reported on a modified assay (R4). 

It is quite reasonable to expect the bimolecular two-stage mechanism Sj Ar ) to predominate in most aromatic nucleophilic substitutions of activated substrates. However, only in rare instances is there adequate evidence to rule out the simultaneous occurrence or predominance of other mechanisms. The true significance of the alternative mechanisms in azines needs to be determined by trapping the intermediates or by applying modem separation and characterization methods to the identification of at least the major portion of the products, especially in kinetic studies. 

Figure 1. Effect of 1% (w/v) pectin (pect), 1% galactose (gal), and of the simultaneous presence of 2% glucose (glu) on the production of extracellular polygalacturonase activity. Two-stages cultures were prepared as described under methods. Polygalacturonase was assayed in the culture filtrate as reducing sugar-releasing activity using sodium polypectate as a substrate.

The development of methods to effect nucleophilic addition to carbon-carbon double bonds by prior activation with metal cations has been applied, at least in a preliminary way, as a method of pyrrole ring closure. The conversion of butadienes to N-substituted pyrroles can be accomplished in two stages. In acetic add, 1,4-dienes react with PdnCl2 to give tr-allyl complexes with introduction of acetate at C-4. The ir-allyl complexes then react with amines to give a l-amino-4-acetoxy-2-butene (equation 70). When the addition of the amine is carried out in the presence of a silver salt and triphenylphosphine, a pyrrole is isolated, probably by cyclization of the amino-substituted allyl-Pd complex (equation 71) (81CC59). Although this procedure is attractive in terms of the simplicity of the... 

This suggested to CENAM the development of activities for the establishment of traceable chemical measurements in Mexico in two stages the first step from 1992 to 1997 [2] corresponded to the period of development of infrastructure and human resources of CENAM, which was possible thanks to the collaboration of other NMIs involved in developing reference materials and their later certification and the second period, from 1998 to 2002, in which a limited number of certified reference materials (CRM) were developed and certified for industrial application as well as to meet normative requirements, and also some of the primary methods of measurement were declared as national standards in a Federal Register, known as DOF.
