Water-based hydroxyl groups

The carbonate decomposed to produce CO2. Only C 02 desorbed following the adsorption of C 02 (Table I). This demonstrates that the formation of carbonate did not involve the interaction of CO2 with the water-based hydroxyl groups of zirconia. (The water-based hydroxyl groups are most likely terminal hydroxyls W.) A mixture of carbon dioxide isotopes was generated following the adsorption of C 02. This observation suggests that carbonate is formed by the interaction of CO2 with lattice oxygen anions of zirconia. 

The bicarbonate decomposed to produce CO and CO2. The relative incorporation of [ 0] into the CO and CO2 produced following adsorption of C 02 increased with the increasing [ 0] content of the surface OH groups (Table I). This result supports the hypothesis that bicarbonate forms by the reaction between CO2 and a terminal (water-based) hydroxyl group W. 

The isocyanate group is more reactive than the epoxy group in that it will react at room temperature with water and hydroxyl groups as well as with amine groups. However, the latter reaction is too fast to be practicable so the standard two-pack coatings are based on isocyanate and polyhydroxyl prepolymers such as hydroxyl terminated polyesters or polyethers as in the last example given in the section on epoxy resins. 

The base of a nucleotide is joined covalently (at N-l of pyrimidines and N-9 of purines) in an iV-/3-glycosyl bond to the 1 carbon of the pentose, and the phosphate is esterified to the 5 carbon. The AT-j3-glycosyl bond is formed by removal of the elements of water (a hydroxyl group from the pentose and hydrogen from the base), as in O-glycosidic bond formation (see Fig. 7-31).

The antitumor activity of geldanamycin and its derivatives appears to result from inhibition of DNA synthesis whereas RNA synthesis is not affected (261). The antitumor activity of the maytansinoids also appears to result from the inhibition of DNA synthesis. The mechanism of action of maytansine (104) has been hypothesized to be the acid catalyzed loss of water from the C-9 hydroxyl group of the carbinolamide to form a reactive acyl imine intermediate, which reacts rapidly with nucleophiles on the bases of DNA (262). 

Ammonia, and Amines. Isopropanolamine is the product of propylene oxide and ammonia ia the presence of water (see Alkanolamines). Propylene oxide reacts with isopropanolamine or other primary or secondary amines to produce A/- and A/,A/-disubstituted isopropanolamines. Propylene oxide further reacts with the hydroxyl group of the alkanolamines to form polyether polyol derivatives of tertiary amines (50), or of secondary amines ia the presence of a strong base catalyst (51). 

A series of sorbitol-based nonionic surfactants are used ia foods as water-ia-oil emulsifiers and defoamers. They are produced by reaction of fatty acids with sorbitol. During reaction, cycHc dehydration as well as esterification (primary hydroxyl group) occurs so that the hydrophilic portion is not only sorbitol but also its mono- and dianhydride. The product known as sorbitan monostearate [1338-41 -6] for example, is a mixture of partial stearic and palmitic acid esters (sorbitan monopalmitate [26266-57-9]) of sorbitol, 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol [154-58-8] 1,4-sorbitan [27299-12-3] and isosorbide [652-67-5]. Sorbitan esters, such as the foregoing and also sorbitan monolaurate [1338-39-2] and sorbitan monooleate [1338-43-8], can be further modified by reaction with ethylene oxide to produce ethoxylated sorbitan esters, also nonionic detergents FDA approved for food use. 

This process is based on the very high reactivity of the isocyanate group toward hydrogen present ia hydroxyl groups, amines, water, etc, so that the chain extension reaction can proceed to 90% yield or better. Thus when a linear polymer is formed by chain extension of a polyester or polyether of molecular weight 1000—3000, the final polyurethane may have a molecular weight of 100,000 or higher (see Urethane polymers). 

Floripavidine, CjjHjgOjN. This occurs in the crude mixture of non-phenolic bases, and is separated from fioribundine by repeated crystallisation of the mixed hydrochlorides from water. The base crystallises from alcohol in prisms, has m.p. 241-2°, and [a]n — 156-25° (MeOH) the hydrochloride, m.p. 209-10°, hydriodide, and methiodide, m.p. 228-30°, were prepared. The alkaloid contains no hydroxyl group (Zerewitinoff), but a methoxyl, a dioxymethylene, and a methylimino group are present.
