U-configuration

A scries of a-substituted /J-(2-phenylcthcnyl)-/ -hydroxy ketones, e.g., ( )-5-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethyl-5,7-diphenyl-6-hepten-3-one, has been investigated340. It is possible to find the most stable conformers of the diastereomeric ketones and to differentiate between them by the identification of a long-range W-coupling between the olefinic and the hydroxy proton (emphasized bonds), which can exist only in the u configuration. 

Shtarev et al.121 272 have measured 4J(F, F) proximate couplings, i.e., in a non-planar U configuration, in a series of bridge-fluorinated dimethyl bicylo[l.l.l]pentane-l,3-dicarboxylates, [31-a,b], where they obtained values of such couplings ranging from 48.9 to 97.9 Hz (in absolute value). They linearly correlated these couplings with the calculated d(F- F) distance...

The molecular structures of three >/3-pentadienyl complexes having W, S, and U configurations, respectively, are shown in Fig. 5. Apart from showing the short uncoordinated C=C bond of the vinyl system a common feature is the unsymmetrical bonding of the fj3-allyl group with the longest M—C bond to the atom which bears the vinyl substituent (149). 

Another explanation takes into account that boat- and twist-shaped six-membered, closed transition states can successfully compete with the chair model. " Evans et al. pointed out that in a-unsubstituted enolate reactions, missing allyl strain interactions lead to lower selectivity in diastereoselective aldol reactions.Calculations indicate that a twist-boat can easily be formed from the U-configuration of a-unsubstituted enolates. The possible transition state in this case has a geometry like 34 and is favored by the chelating character of the complexation mode for the zinc cation and the outward-pointing substituents of the oxazolidinone moiety. This twist-boat transition state correctly predicts the stereochemical outcome of the reaction. 

These two deoxy sugars are the rare monosaccharides that are in the u-configuration. u-Rhamnose is a constituent of lipopolysaccharides of the outer membrane layer of gram-negative bacteria. L-Fucose is a constituent of glycoproteins in cell membranes. 

In open water, the U configuration can also be achieved by allowing the entire boom system to move down-current so that the velocity of the current, as opposed to that of the boom, does not exceed the critical velocity. If this velocity is exceeded, first small amounts of oil and then massive amounts will be lost. This leads to several types of boom failure that are described in the next section. 

The U configuration is also used to keep oil from spreading into bays or other sensitive areas, as well as to collect oil so cleanup measures can be applied. The J configuration is a variation of the U configuration and is usually used to contain oil as well as to deflect it to the containment area. The U and J configurations are easily interchanged. The V configuration usually consists of two booms with a counterforce such as a skimmer at the apex of the two booms. 

The observation that the auu configuration lies 2900cm 1 above the au6u configuration is important. This is not the same as the difference between the u and 6U virtual orbitals on account of the attraction between the electron in these orbitals and the hole in the ou shell. Making a reasonable estimate of this attraction sets the (f>u virtual orbital between 1500cm 1 and 2700cm 1 above the Su virtual orbital (13). 

The symbols R and S may be used to describe relative configuration. Thus, R, R describes a racemate of I configuration and R, S describes a racemate of u configuration. See l,u.

Ireland found this predominance of the chair like transition state in the case of the rearrangement of the enolates of the esters 18 and 19 as well, which gave respectively the U-configured acids 20 and 21 with >99% diastereoselectivity. 

Anatomic Considerations The uterus, corpus, and cervix are supplied by the uterine arteries, which originate from the anterior divisions of each internal iliac artery. It usually has a U configuration the descending portion along the pelvic side walls, the transverse portion becomes more tortuous with pregnancies and with age, and the ascending portion.
