Upper reactions

FIGURE 16.15 Orientation effects in intramolecular reactions can be dramatic. Steric crowding by methyl groups provides a rate acceleration of 2.5 X 10 for the lower reaction compared to the upper reaction. (Adaptedfrom Milstien,. S., and Cohen, L. A., 1972.

If the kinetic parameters for the upper reaction are denoted by the subscript 1 and those for the lower reaction by the subscript 2, the appropriate rate expressions for constant volume systems may be written as... 

Figure 1-11 The upper reaction is the methyl isocyanate route used at Bhopal. The lower reaction suggests an alternative reaction scheme using a less hazardous intermediate. Adapted from Chemical and Engineering News (Feb. 11, 1985), p. 30.

The alkoxy radical of Scheme 18.3 (upper reaction) could scission to produce the same carboxyl radical as seen in the Norrish type 1 path (Scheme 18.1, path A) discussed above. As such, it is an additional source of CO2 but not taken into account in the report by Day and Wiles [25], Not reported but still obvious, the other fragment of this scission is an aliphatic aldehyde that could also have been one of the aldehyde carbonyl IR signals reported [11, 25], Hydrolysis of this chain end would yield the reported glyoxal [21],... 

Transglycosylation. An enzymatic process, transglycosylation, plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. Figure 6 represents the formation of the disaccharide, sucrose, as an example of this mechanism. In the upper reaction of Fig. 6, glucose-1-phosphate is the glycosyl donor and... 

Scheme 1. Reduction of homodimer peptide linked via a disulfide bridge with dithio-threitol (DTT) and alkylation of the resulting thiol groups of both cysteines with either acrylamide (upper reaction) or iodoacetamide (lower reaction).

After shaking for a few minutes, allow the two layers to completely settle, and then properly vent the funnel as shown in the following illustration. Then slightly open the bottom stopcock and slowly drain-off the bottom layer. If the upper layer is the solvent, the bottom reaction mixture layer will have to be drained off first, and then poured back into the same seperatory funnel after the upper solvent layer has been drained off. If the bottom layer is the solvent, simply drain it off only, and leave the upper reaction mixture layer. 

FIGURE 12.10 Mechanisms of excited-state electron transfer. In the upper reaction, the excited state acts as a reductant, a process commonly termed oxidative quenching. In the lower reaction, the excited state is an oxidant, termed reductive quenching.

Buchwald et al. have reported a number of bulky phosphine ligand PR 2R which give high activity in Suzuki— Miyaura catalysis for the synthesis of sterically hindered biaryls.The conditions used in the catalysis involved the in situ preparation of the Pd(0) catalyst from Pd2(dba)3 and the phosphine. Two ligands which proved superior to the others had in common the same polyaromatic R (R = Cy, Ph) as a difference from the rest. A Pd(0) complex could be prepared by mixing Pd2(dba)s and PR 2R in toluene, which has the X-ray structure 40 sketched in the upper reaction of Scheme 25. The key structural feature of the complex is the short distance of Pd to one double bond of the phenanthrene moiety (distances to the two carbons are 2.298 and 2.323 A) supporting an 77 -phenanthrene...

The commonly used syntheses of nucleoside triphosphates are the Yoshikawa method and the Ludwig-Eckstein method. The Yoshikawa method , the simplest one, is shown in the upper reaction in Scheme 6. The ehemistry involves first the S -monophosphotylation of an un-proteeted nucleoside with phosphorous o)ychloride (POCI3), which affords a highly reactive intermediate (76). This intermediate is then reaeted with pyrophosphate to yield the cyclic triphosphate (77), followed by hydrolysis to the target (80). This method allows the selective...
