    Notes: Abstract Background: The discovery of a cadre of breast cancer susceptibility genes has resulted in an increase in the number of women seeking information about prophylactic breast surgery, but virtually no large-scale prospective databases exist to assist women considering prophylactic mastectomy. Methods: The authors constructed a National Prophylactic Mastectomy Registry comprised of a volunteer population of 817 women from 43 states who have undergone prophylactic mastectomy. Results: In the registry, 370 women had undergone bilateral prophylactic mastectomy. Twenty-one (5%) women expressed regrets about the procedure. The median follow-up was 14.6 years (mean 14.8 years; range 0.2–51 years). Those with regrets were subsetted into those with major (n=10) or minor (n=7) regrets. Regrets were more common in those women with whom discussion about prophylactic mastectomy was initiated by a physician (19/255), compared with patients who initiated the discussion themselves (2/108;P〈.05). Conclusions: The overall satisfaction rate of 95% reported here may be explained by the voluntary nature of this registry. The most important factor that predicts an unfavorable outcome following bilateral prophylactic mastectomy is a physician-initiated discussion.

    Notes: ABSTRACT We compared the parental age at birth of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) with that of cognitively healthy control subjects. Within 206 carefully diagnosed AD patients, two groups were distinguished according to the likelihood of carrying a major gene for AD (MGAD). This likelihood was calculated by applying a Bayesian approach which incorporates data on aggregation of the disease, age at onset, and "censoring" ages within the family. All AD patients were ranked by MGAD probability. According to the sample's quartiles, two subgroups were defined representing the 52 individuals with the lowest and the 52 with the highest MGAD probability. Age at onset of dementia, education, and apolipoprotein E ε  4 allele frequencies were not statistically different between the two groups. Fathers of patients with a low MGAD probability were significantly older (35.7±8.1 years) than fathers of both other groups (high MGAD probability 31.3±6.9 years, P =0.004; controls 32.6±6.8 years, P =0.04, n=50). The differences for mothers were less pronounced and not statistically significant. These findings suggest that increased paternal age is a risk factor for AD in the absence of a major gene, whereas increased maternal age and AD are associated only weakly and independently of genetic disposition.

    Notes: Abstract  Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare inherited disorder which usually becomes clinically manifest in early childhood, although the spectrum of ARPKD is much more variable than generally known. Presentation of ARPKD at later ages and survival into adulthood have been observed in many cases. The responsible gene has been mapped to chromosome 6p. Thus there is no evidence of genetic heterogeneity. The most important indication for DNA diagnosis is the prenatal diagnosis in families with at least one affected child. The critical region has been narrowed with the use of recombinant families of about 4 cM. Several possible candidate genes have been excluded.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The determination of the genetic background of sexual development has not only assisted in the explanation of intersex disorders, but also in the diagnosis and clinical management of affected individuals. The possibilities and limitations of molecular genetic studies can be illustrated by the example of androgen insensitivity syndromes. The search for the underlying mutations within the androgen receptor gene is technically possible even for large numbers of patients. The characterization of mutations can be performed with high specificity and sensitivity. While large gene defects are associated with complete loss of function of the receptor, point mutations with subsequent amino acid changes are responsible for the phenotypic variability of the disease. Type and location of the amino acid substitution may influence the clinical appearance of the individual patient, but the phenotype can be highly variable even with the same underlying mutation. This is probably due to regulation mechanisms within the cell of which the androgen receptor is only one, although important, part. Therefore, results of molecular genetic testing have to be interpreted only in connection with clinical and laboratory findings. Further research will focus on the elucidation of the cellular mechanisms of androgen action in order to introduce the results into the clinical management of patients with androgen insensitivity.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Aufdeckung der genetischen Grundlagen von Störungen der Geschlechtsentwicklung hat neue Möglichkeiten nicht nur in der Erklärung dieser Erkrankungen, sondern auch für die Diagnostik und den klinischen Umgang mit betroffenen Individuen eröffnet. Am Beispiel der Androgenresistenz können die Erfolge, aber auch die Grenzen molekulargenetischer Untersuchungen aufgezeigt werden. Die Suche nach den zugrundeliegenden genetischen Veränderungen im Androgenrezeptorgen ist heute technisch auch zur Analyse größerer Patientenzahlen anwendbar. Der Nachweis von Mutationen kann mit hoher Sensitivität und Spezifität in großen Genabschnitten durchgeführt werden. Während größere Gendefekte mit einem völligen Funktionsverlust des Rezeptors einhergehen, sind Punktmutationen, die zu Veränderungen der Aminosäuresequenz führen, für das große phänotypische Spektrum der Androgenresistenz verantwortlich. Zwar wird das klinische Erscheinungsbild durch Art und Ort der Aminosäuresubstitution mitbestimmt, dennoch kann der Phänotyp auch bei gleicher Mutation sehr variabel sein. Dies ist mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit auf zelluläre Regulationsmechanismen zurückzuführen, in deren Wirkungskette der Androgenrezeptor nur ein Glied, wenn auch ein wichtiges, darstellt. Daher müssen molekulargenetische Befunde immer in Zusammenhang mit den anamnestischen, klinischen und laborchemischen Parametern gesehen werden. Ziel wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen ist es, die zellulären Mechanismen der Androgenwirkung weiter aufzuklären, um diese Erkenntnisse dann möglicherweise in die therapeutischen Entscheidungen bei Patienten mit Androgenresistenz einfließen zu lassen.

    Notes: Abstract Non-pustular psoriasis consists of two disease subtypes, type I and type II, which demonstrate distinct characteristics. Firstly the disease presents in different decades of life, in type I before the age of 40 years and later in type II. Secondly, contrasting frequencies of HLA alleles are found: type I patients express predominantly HLA-Cw6, -B57, and -DR7, whereas in type II patients HLA-Cw2 is overrepresented. Finally, familial inheritance is found in type I but not in type II psoriasis. The study of concomitant diseases in psoriasis contributes to deciphering the distinct patterns of the disease. Defence against invading microorganisms seems better developed in psoriatics than in controls. This evolutionary benefit may have caused the overall high incidence of psoriasis of 2%. Psoriasis is a multifactorial and heterogenetically inherited disease. The heterogeneity is evident by the diversity of genetically linked markers. The multifactorial component results from the observation of external trigger mechanisms, such as the Koebner phenomenon, stress and the intake of certain drugs. Twin studies have shown that environmental factors contribute to the onset of the disease. In type I psoriasis, special extended haplotypes such as EH57.1 (HLA-Cw6-B57-DRB1*0701-DQA1*0201-DQBl*0303) and EH65.1 (HLA-Cw8-B65-DRB1*0102-DQB1*0501) have been found to be increased. The application of microsatellite techniques has identified distinct positions on several chromosomes at which putative psoriasis genes may be located. Disease susceptibility genes are thought to be present on chromosomes 4q, 6p, 16q, 17q and 20p. Moreover, on chromosome 1q, genes regulating epidermal differentiation have been identified. Linkage to this area has been proposed. Furthermore, psoriasis gene loci on chromosomes 2, 8 and 20 have been suggested.

    Notes: ABSTRACT Despite several lines of evidence indicating a strong genetic influence in the etiology of idiopathic epilepsies, progress in the mapping and identification of human epilepsy genes has been limited until recently. In addition to the localisation and/or isolation of several genes causing progressive epilepsies associated with cerebral degeneration, at least seven human genomic regions (6p, 8q, 10q, 15q, 16p, 19q, 20q) are now known to harbour genes implicated in idiopathic epilepsies. In the case of nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy, mutations in a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit gene have been identified. Systematic studies of rare epileptic disorders inherited as monogenic Mendelian traits, as well as studies on more complex polygenic idiopathic epilepsies, are still needed in order to identify all the epilepsy genes. This will allow better diagnosis and genetic counseling in families of affected individuals, a better understanding of both the pathophysiology of epilepsies and normal brain functioning, and the design of new pharmacological and genetic therapies.

    Notes: Abstract To quantify the risk of febrile seizures (FS) in relatives of children with FS and to predict the risk of FS in siblings, we calculated cumulative risks of FS in first degree relatives of 129 children with FS. The study was conducted as a prospective follow up study of FS recurrences at the outpatient clinic of the Sophia Children's Hospital in Rotterdam. Thirteen parents and 12 siblings had experienced FS, accounting for a 6-year cumulative risk of 7%. The risk of FS was increased in relatives of children with recurrent FS (12%). The risk of FS in siblings (10%) in our study was more than twice the average risk in a similar population (4%). A positive FS history in a parent, young age at onset in the proband, and recurrences in the proband were selected in a multivariable prediction model. If two or more of these risk factors were present, the risk of West European siblings to develop FS was 46% (hazard ratio 5.4). Conclusion The cumulative risk of FS in siblings of children with FS is increased. The age attained risk of FS can be estimated using a practical model incorporating three readily available risk factors.

    Notes: Abstract Honey bee foragers were tested for their proboscis extension response (PER) to water and varying solutions of sucrose. Returning pollen and nectar foragers were collected at the entrance of a colony and were assayed in the laboratory. Pollen foragers had a significantly higher probability of responding to water and to lower concentrations of sucrose. Bees derived from artificially selected high- and low-pollen-hoarding strains were also tested using the proboscis extension assay. Returning foragers were captured and tested for PERs to 30% sucrose. Results demonstrated a genotypic effect on PERs of returning foragers. The PERs of departing high- and low-strain foragers were consistent with those of returning foragers. The PERs were related to nectar and water reward perception of foragers. High strain bees were more likely to return with loads of water and lower concentrations of sucrose than foragers from the low pollen strain. Low-strain bees were more likely to return empty. We identified a previously mapped genomic region that contains a variable quantitative trait locus that appears to influence sucrose response thresholds. These studies demonstrate a gene-brain-behavior pathway that can be altered as a consequence of colony-level selection for quantities of stored food.

    Notes: Abstract Several crossing studies with diabetic BB rats have shown that in addition to the lymphopenia (Iddm1) and the MHC class II genes of the RT1u haplotype (Iddm2) there are further non-MHC genes essential for diabetes development. Because diabetes-resistant inbred rat strains may be homozygous for one of the diabetogenic non-MHC genes, masking the expression of diabetogenic genes and leading to an underestimation of the number of diabetogenic genes, we crossed wild and diabetic BB/OK rats. The F1 hybrids were backcrossed onto diabetic female (BC1W-F, n=97) and male BB/OK rats (BC1W-M, n=98) transferred to a specified-pathogen-free environment and studied for the frequency and age at onset of diabetes up to an age of 30 weeks. Comparing the results of these BC1 W hybrids with similarly derived hybrids using diabetes-resistant DA rats (BC1DA-F, n=113; BC1DA-M, n=216), the diabetes frequency in total was comparable indicating the action of three recessive genes. The percentage of diabetics in Iddm1 and Iddm2 homozygotes confirmed the existence of the third gene, Iddm3, but there were some sex differences; significantly more male than female BC1W-F and significantly more BC1DA-M than BC1DA-F males were diabetic. Regarding the age at onset, the BC1W-F hybrids manifested not only significantly earlier, but also more uniformly than BC1DA-F and BC1-M hybrids.

    Notes: Abstract Recently, hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF-1α, which is encoded by the TCF1 gene) mutations were reported in a subset of patients with maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY3). We studied the contribution of TCF1 to genetic susceptibility to common non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 2) in Japanese subjects by investigating allelic association with type 2 diabetes use of three markers. We also studied the frequency of the G191D mutation, the only mutation of TCF1 reported so far in late-onset type 2 diabetes. A total of 356 subjects were studied. There were no significant differences in allele frequency of the three markers between patients with type 2 diabetes and control subjects. A G191D mutation was not found in the subjects studied, giving a frequency of less than 0.4% in common type 2 diabetes. The lack of association of type 2 diabetes with three markers in and near TCF1 suggests that mutations in TCF1 derived from a limited number of founders are not a major cause of common type 2 diabetes even in the genetically homogeneous Japanese population. The data also indicate that the G191D mutation in TCF1 plays little, if any, role in susceptibility to common type 2 diabetes in the Japanese.

    Notes: Abstract  The processes of megasporogenesis and early megagametogenesis were cytologically investigated in Cupressus sempervirens L. in order to elucidate, at the cellular level, the origin of the megagametophyte. After pollination, sporogenous tissue developed in the chalazal region of the nucellus, but only one megaspore mother cell differentiated and divided meiotically without cell-wall formation. This led to the development of a cell with four nuclei which directly functioned as a megaspore. The C. sempervirens megagametophyte is thus tetrasporic, in contrast to the majority of conifers where the megagametophyte is monosporic. The consequenses of this observation are discussed from a genetics point of view.

    Notes: Abstract  We have isolated and sequenced 263 microsatellite-containing clones from two small insert libraries of Actinidia chinensis enriched for (AC/GT) and (AG/CT) repeats, respectively. Primer pairs were designed for 203 microsatellite loci and successfully amplified from both plasmid and A. chinensis genomic DNA. In this paper we report the sequences of 40 primer pairs for which we have demonstrated Mendelian segregation in the progeny from controlled crosses. The polymorphism of ten microsatellites of each type was evaluated in four diploid and six tetraploid genotypes of A. chinensis. All microsatellites proved to be polymorphic, the number of alleles per locus detected in polyacrylamide sequencing gels ranging from 9 to 17. The high degree of polymorphism in Actinidia renders these markers useful either for mapping in A. chinensis or for fingerprinting cultivars of both domesticated kiwifruit species (A. chinensis and A. deliciosa). While most primer pairs produced single amplification products, about 20% generated banding patterns consistent with the amplification of two different loci. This supports the hypothesis that diploid species of Actinidia (2n=2x=58) are polyploid in origin with a basic chromosome number x=14/15 and that chromosome duplication may have occurred during the evolution of the genus. Finally, we have assayed the cross-species transportability of primer pairs designed from A. chinensis sequences and have found extensive cross-species amplification within the genus Actinidia; 75% of primer pairs gave successful amplification in the eight species assayed (A. arguta, A. rufa, A. polygama, A. chrysantha, A. callosa, A. hemsleyana, A. eriantha, and A. deliciosa), which are representative of the four sections into which the genus is currently split.

    Notes: Abstract  The large size and the long generation time of fruit trees generally reduce the possibilities of obtaining genetic information on the transmission and heritability of useful agronomic traits in these species. However, from breeding work carried out with fruit trees, an important amount of data is now available, although large differences are apparent among the different species. There is not much information known about almond compared to what is available on other Prunus fruit species, but more data have been accumulated on it than on most of the other nut trees, thus making almond special among all the temperate fruit and nut species. Only five qualitative traits have been described in almond, with an additional two also possibly qualitative. Heritabilities have been estimated for an important number of quantitative traits, mainly phenological times and fruit characters. Important information is available on molecular markers, including enzymes, RFLPs, RAPDs and other recently developed markers. Linkages, however, have only been established among molecular markers, allowing accurate genetic maps to be built but not yet enabling agronomical characters to be located in these maps, probably because the latter have not been sufficiently studied. The effectiveness of the application of genetic maps in plant breeding will depend on the accuracy of the study of different agronomic traits and their expression, implying more field work and recognition of this work. Ultimately, any new fruit cultivar has to be grown in the field and has to allow the grower to make a profit.

    Notes: Abstract Every recruitment system in social insects requires some individuals that serve as scouts, foragers that search independently for food sources. It is not well understood which factors influence whether an individual becomes a scout or a recruit, nor how the division of labor between the two forager groups is regulated. It is shown here for honeybees (Apis mellifera), using two different molecular techniques, that there is a genetically based difference in the probability that individuals will scout independently for food. In contrast to earlier suggestions, experimental tests showed that the age of a bee does not seem to influence its probability of becoming a scout or a recruit. Furthermore, scout bees do not search opportunistically for either pollen or nectar but, rather, individuals have preferences that are genetically based. These findings are discussed in the framework of foraging regulation by specialization in honeybees and the adaptive significance of polyandry.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Le ceroido lipofuscinosi neuronali (NCL) sono tra le encefalopatie progressive più freguenti nell'infanzia ed interessano, seppure più raramente, l'adulto. Clinicamente sono caratterizzate da demenza, deficit visivo, epilessia e disturbi motori. Gli aspetti patologici specifici sono rappresentati da degenerazione neuronale ed accumulo lisosomiale di lipopigmento in differenti tipi cellulari. Il difetto biochimico della malattia non e noto. La classificazione delle NCL, basata su criteri clinici, distingue sei forme classiche ed altre forme atipiche. L'elettrofisiologia e la neuroradiologia sono di importante ausilio diagnostico, ma la diagnosi si fonda sull'identificazione dell'accumulo di lipopigmento the presenta pattern ultrastrutturali specifici. Differenti difetti genetici sono stati dimostrati in diverse forme cliniche, ma il meccanismo patogenetico molecolare rimane ancora da chiarire.
    Notes: Abstract Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are among the most common neurodegenerative diseases in childhood but rarely present in adulthood. The main symptoms are psychomotor deterioration, visual failure, epilepsy and motor disturbances. The NCLs are morphologically characterized by the accumulation of lipopigments within numerous cell types and loss of neurons. Pathogenesis is unknown. The current clinical classification recognizes six classic types of NCL and several atypical forms. Electrophysiological and neuroradiological findings may be of diagnostic significance, but disease recognition rests on the demonstration of a typical ultrastructural pattern. Genetic studies have demonstrated that several different genetic loci are involved in the pathogenesis of NCL, but the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal death and lipopigment accumulation are not understood.

    Notes: Abstract The present study uses a behavioral genetic design to investigate the genetic and environmental influences on variation in adolescent body mass index (BMI) and to determine whether the relative influences of genetic and environmental factors on variation in BMI are similar across racial groups and sexes. Data for the present study come from the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health (Add Health), a large, nationally representative study of adolescent health and health-related behaviors. The Add Health sample contains a subset of sibling pairs that differs in levels of genetic relatedness, making it well suited for behavioral genetics analyses. The present study examines whether genetic and environmental influences on adolescent BMI are the same for males and females and for Black and White adolescents. Results indicate that genetic factors contribute substantially to individual differences in adolescent BMI, explaining between 45 and 85% of the variance in BMI. Furthermore, based on an analysis of opposite-sex sibling pairs, the genes that influence variation in adolescent BMI are similar for males and females. However, the relative importance of genetic and environmental influences on variation in BMI differs for males and females and for Blacks and Whites. Although parameter estimates could be constrained to be equal for Black and White males, they could not be constrained to be equal for Black and White females. Moreover, the best-fitting model for Black females was an ADE model, for White females it was an ACE model, and for males it was an AE model. Thus, shared environmental influences are significant for White female adolescents, but not for Black females or males. Likewise, nonadditive genetic influences are indicated for Black females, but not for White females or males. Implications of these results are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Non-spin glasses possess a number of specific features which, in structural and dynamic aspects, are close to conditions necessary for neural networks to function. In a disordered network there exists a plurality of structural parameters and a number of two-level states defined by double-well potentials. Their characteristics are specified by the conditions of glass formation, i.e. by genesis. The thermodynamic description of glass as a self-organizing system (that does not require introducing an interacting potential model) leads to an unambiguous conclusion that its frequency spectrum is predetermined by the structure, which is characterized by zero-point entropy. Glass is a natural system of oscillators which form a disordered network. In this sense, glass conforms to a known model of a disordered neural network formed by interconnected oscillators. If one assumes that in living organisms the structure of a neural network (the brain) is inherited according to a genetic mechanism, the quickness of learning and recognition of patterns, the stability of associative memory and other capabilities have to be inherited genetically. The more ordered a neural network formed by distinguishable neurons, the better its capabilities.

    Notes: Abstract Genetic factors are likely to play a major role in the etiology of autism. The genetics of the disorder is however complex, probably involving the action of several genes. In an attempt to identify autism susceptibility loci we are currently undertaking a systematic screening of the whole human genome using multiplex families. We describe the resources and the methods needed to achieve such a task, including extensive collection of family data, semiautomated genotyping technology, and specialized statistical approaches for linkage analysis of complex traits.

    Notes: The rate data for the Menschutkin reaction between strongly activated Z-substituted benzyl p-toluenesulfonates and Y-substituted N,N-dimethylanilines in acetonitrile at 35 °C fit the equation, kobs  =  k1 + k2 [DMA], which is consistent with concurrent first- and second-order processes. The k1 and k2 values for each substrate were separated based on the above equation. The SN1 rate constant, k1, is unaffected by the nature of the nucleophile, whereas the SN2 rate constant, k2, increased with the electron-donating substituent of the N,N-dimethylaniline. The substituent effect on the k1 values is linearly correlated by the Yukawa-Tsuno equation with ρ  =  -5.2 and r  =  1.3. The unimolecular reaction can be regarded as a classical SN1 mechanism. In contrast, that on the k2 values shows an upward curvature when analyzed by the Brown σ+ treatment. These results are ascribed to the simultaneous and independent occurrence of SN1 and SN2 mechanisms in the present Menschutkin reaction. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Solution enthalpies of n-hexane, acetone, butan-2-one and octan-2-one in a series of tetrachloromethane-acetonitrile mixtures and the carbonyl stretching absorption frequencies in the IR spectra of these ketones were determined. It was found that over the whole range of concentrations (varying from neat tetrachloromethane up to neat acetonitrile) the solvation enthalpy of these compounds can be obtained additively from the contributions of the alkyl and carbonyl fragments. The solvent effect on the solvation enthalpy of the carbonyl group was found to be satisfactorily correlated with the corresponding IR frequency shifts of the C=O group. It was also found that the sensitivities of the carbonyl IR frequencies to the solvent composition are different for various ketones. From both IR and calorimetric data, the preferential solvation parameters were evaluated. The differences between the IR spectroscopic and calorimetric data are discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: In an effort to model solute-solvent interactions, the C=O stretching frequencies of five 1-substituted 2-pyrrolidinones and four other carbonyl-containing compounds were measured for 30 common solvents. These were then correlated with four empirical parameter sets and one theoretical (computational) parameter set. While an empirical parameter set gave the best correlation equations, the theoretical parameter equations are physically and statistically significant. Solvent volume, polarizability and hydrogen bond donor acidity (capacity) terms are significant in the correlation equations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The P - S bond cleavage process in the hydroperoxidolysis of a model system for the nerve agent VX was studied using ab initio and semiempirical molecular orbital methods. Aqueous solvation effects were included through single-point calculations using the semiempirical SM5.2PD/A continuum solvation model and geometries optimized at the HF/MIDI! level of theory. The predominant pathway for P - S bond cleavage involves pseudorotation of a low-energy trigonal bipyramidal intermediate followed by apical ligand ejection. In aqueous solution, the free energy barriers for these processes are found to be 14.3 and 4.6 kcal mol-1, respectively, with electronic energies calculated at the MP2/cc-pVDZ//HF/MIDI! level of theory. By comparison with another continuum model of solvation (PCM), it is concluded that the SM5.2PD/A model performs well even for hypervalent phosphorus species, in spite of not having included any such molecules in the model's parameterization set. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: N-Methyl-N-phenyl-tert-butylsulfenamide (MPSA) and morpholinyl-tert-butylsulfenamide (MOSA) were thermolyzed in a stirred-flow reactor at temperatures of 340-390 °C and pressures of 7-13 Torr, using toluene as carrier gas, at residence times of 0.3-1.3 s. Isobutene was formed in 99% yield through first-order reactions having the following Arrhenius parameters (A,s-1, Ea, kJ mol-1): MPSA, log A  =  12.41 ± 0.02, Ea  =  158.8 ± 0.2; MOSA, log A  =  12.91 ± 0.22, Ea  =  159 ± 3. It is proposed that the elimination of isobutene takes place by unimolecular reaction mechanisms involving polar, four-center cyclic transition states, forming S-unsubstituted thiohydroxylamines as co-products. Thermochemical parameters, estimated by semiempirical AM1 calculations, are reported for the latter and for the parent molecules. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Acidities and bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of the N-H bond in two phenylsulfenylamides, PhSNHBz and PhSNH-t-Bu, and four phenylsulfenylanilides, 4-GC6H4NHSPh, where G  =  MeO, H, Br and CN, were measured in order to compare the effects of substituents on acidities and BDEs of N - H bonds with those of C - H bonds. The effects of PhS groups on acidities and BDEs in a series of C - H acids were found to be comparable to those on acidities and BDEs of PhS in a similar series of N - H acids. Comparisons were also made of the effects of changing the oxidation state of sulfur in the series PhS, PhSO and PhSO2 on the acidities and BDEs of adjacent N - H and C - H bonds in weak acids. Hammett-type plots of pKHA values for phenyl benzyl sulfones (4-GC6H4CH2SO2Ph) and phenylsulfenylanilides (4-GC6H4NHSPh) were linear vs σp- values. A linear plot was obtained and explained for a plot of BDE of the N - H bonds in remotely substituted phenylsulfonylanilides with σ+ values. Plots of BDEs vs Eox(A-) were also linear for 4-substituted phenylsulfenylanilides (4-GC6H4NHSPh), phenylsulfonylanilides (4-GC6H4NHSO2Ph) and phenyl benzyl sulfones (4-GC6H4CH2SO2Ph). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The prototropic tautomerism of 8-azaadenine (azaade) was studied theoretically by means of ab initio methods, in both the gas phase and aqueous solution. A number of tautomeric forms were not included in the calculations after applying a stepwise elimination procedure based on both AM1 and HF/6-31G* energy values. The tautomers 9H-azaade, 8H-azaade and 7H-azaade survived to this elimination and their optimized geometries and energies were calculated at the MP2/6-31*//HF/6-31G* level. To include the solvent effects, two self-consistent reaction field method were used: (1) Onsager's SCRF with multipolar expansion up to the hexadecapolar term and (2) the isodensity polarizable continuum method (IPCM). Both methods produce similar results, although the latter represents better the situation in aqueous solution. The stability order in solution, 8H- 〉 9H- 〉 7H-azaade, differs slightly from that found in the gas phase, implying that in general the electrostatic effects in solution are important, but the intrinsic stability of these species in the gas phase overcomes the solvent effect. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Cyclic voltamograms of the solvatochromic dye 5-nitro-5′-dimethylamino-2,2′-bisthiophene (1), introduced recently as a sensitive π* probe, were recorded in different solvents. An EPR spectrum of the anionic radical of 1 in DMSO was obtained and compared with other spectra of analogous substituted bisthiophene radicals. It was found that the presence of a donor- acceptor pair of substituents in 1-⋅ reduces significantly the rotational barrier of the radical compared with the unsubstituted bithienyl radical anion 2-⋅. This is the result of an electronic repulsion between the donor ring fragment and the added electron in the coplanar radical, which does not exist in 2-⋅. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography [LiChrosorb RP-18,UV detection at 254 nm and acetonitrile-water (86:14,v/v) as mobile phase] was applied to studies of the host-guest complexation of tetraalkylcalix[4]resorcinareneoctols and their upper rim phosphoryl, sulfonyl and dialkylaminomethyl derivatives with some aromatic guests in the mobile phase. It was shown that the formation of the inclusion complexes results in changes in the retention of aromatic guests and improves their separation. Stability constants of the complexes were calculated from the dependences of the l/k′ values of the aromatic guest on the concentration of the calix[4]resorcinarene in the mobile phase. The molecular structure of 4,6,16,18-tetrahydroxy-10,12,22,24-tetrakis(dipropoxyphosphoryloxy)-2,8,14,20-tetramethylcalix[4]resorcinarene (12) was determined.

    Notes: Rate coefficients were measured for the base-catalysed hydrolysis of a series of substituted 3-(phenoxy- or thiophenoxymethylene)-(Z)-1(3H)-isobenzfuranones (3-phenoxy- or thiophenoxymethylenephthalides) in 70% (v/v) aqueous dioxane at 30.0 °C, in addition to the carbonyl stretching frequencies in chloroform and tetrachloromethane following deconvolution and band separation, when required. The Hammett reaction constants for the alkaline hydrolysis of the 3-/4-substituted phenoxy and thiophenoxy series are ca 0.75 and 1.10, respectively. These results are related to electrostatic field and resonance effects. Successful correlations between the carbonyl stretching frequencies and substituent constants and the rates of alkaline hydrolysis were found. Computational studies using the semi-empirical AM1 method correctly model both the details of the mechanistic pathway and the substituent effects. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A new model of the inductive effect is proposed, allowing highly accurate theoretical calculations of inductive constants for a diversity of substituents, using a simple and readily available system of mathematics. According to this approach, the inductive effect of a substituent is considered in terms of the additive influence of its constituent atoms. A constant inherent capacity for inductive interaction with a reactive center (with a four-coordinate carbon atom chosen for such a center), represented by an atomic constant σA, is ascribed to each atom. Values of σA for a wide variety of atoms are determined, and their physical meaning is revealed to elucidate to a certain extent the physical nature of the inductive effect. In addition, the proposed model permits the convenient use in calculations of group constants σG characterizing the inductive power of groups. Values of σG are determined for molecular fragments that are most widely dealt with in organic chemistry, and the use of σA or σG constants and of their superposition is shown to have, in most cases, little or no effect on the accuracy and reproducibility of the results obtained. It is also shown that, in terms of the developed approach, the inductive effect of a substituent is closely associated with its conformation. Theoretical inductive constants were calculated for 427 organic, aromatic, organometallic and charged substituents, and they showed perfect correlation with the corresponding experimental values. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The kinetics of the oxidation of mandelic acid (MA) by permanganate in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3 were studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction shows first-order kinetics in [permanganate ion] and fractional order dependences in [MA] and [alkali]. Addition of products, manganate and aldehyde have no significant effect on the reaction rate. An increase in ionic strength and a decrease in dielectric constant of the medium increase the rate. The oxidation process in alkaline medium under the conditions employed in the present investigation proceeds first by formation of an alkali permanganate complex, which combines with mandelic acid to form another complex. The latter decomposes slowly followed by a fast reaction between the free radical of mandelic acid and another molecule of permanganate to give products. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism were derived. There is good agreement between the observed and calculated rate constants under different experimental conditions. The reaction was studied at different temperatures and activation parameters were computed with respect to the slow step of the proposed mechanism. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Photo-reactions of tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (1) with benzene (2a) and substituted benzenes (2b-f) in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) gave 2-(2-, 3- and 4-substituted anilino)pyrimidines (3-5) together with 2-aminopyridine (6) and biphenyl (7) or diarylmethanes (8b, 8c and 8e). From the effect of heavy-atom solvent on the reactions, it is reasonable to assume that 3-5 are formed via a singlet species, but 6-8 via a triplet species. The intermediacy of 2-pyrimidylnitrenium ion is consistent with the evidence derived by the above effect, by a Hammett plot with ρ = -2.9 and by effects of solvent nucleophilicity and counter-anions. The selective exocyclic N-arylation giving 3-5 is discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Methanol adducts (1-3) formed in polar solvents are rationalized via the radical cation, N+·, and stereospecific (exo-) nucleophilic attack by methanol. In less polar solvents, CNN and N form [2 + 2]-cycloadducts, exclusively on the exo-face of N. In non-polar solvents containing methanol, CNN, N and methanol combine to form 1:1:1 adducts, containing the sensitizer on the endo- and the methoxy groups on the exo-face. The formation of these products is rationalized via the trapping of encounter complexes of different geometries. Any rearrangement of the norbornenyl system can be eliminated, since neither tricyclyl nor 7-methoxynorbornenyl structures are formed. Apparently, the alcohol captures an endo-encounter complex of CNN and N by attack from the exo-face, similar to the attack of methanol on N+·. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Semiempirical, ab initio and DFT investigations on the mechanism of the Diels-Alder reactions of a set of masked dienes (ring-fused dienes), viz. o-quinodimethane, anthracene and α-vinylnaphthalene, with ethylene, and reactions of α-vinylnaphthalene with maleic anhydride and p-benzoquinone were performed with a view to understanding the role of masking factors on the activation and reaction energies. The reactions were found to occur in a concerted fashion through synchronous transition states (TSs) in the first two reactions and through asynchronous TS in the other case. Of the compounds studied, o-quinodimethane is the most reactive diene both in a kinetic and a thermodynamic sense. α-Vinylnaphthalene reacts faster with maleic anhydride than p-benzoquinone, as expected, and two possible stereoselective TSs, one endo and the other exo, have been located for the reactions of α-vinylnaphthalene with the above dienophiles. Calculations show that the relative gain or loss of aromatic stabilization of the benzonoid ring in the transition state and in the product seems to play a major role in the kinetic and thermodynamic control of these reactions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Infrared spectra of all isomers of polymethyl-substituted benzoic acids were recorded in the carbonyl and hydroxyl regions in tetrachloromethane at various concentrations and interpreted in terms of conformation. According to a plot of ν(C=O) of the monomeric form vs Hammett substituent constants σ, these compounds may be classified into two classes. Derivatives with none or only one methyl group in the ortho position are concluded to exist in an equilibrium of two planar conformations, unless the equilibrium is degenerate. Derivatives with two ortho-situated methyl groups are concluded to take up one non-planar conformation. These findings are supported by the shape of the hydroxyl and carbonyl bands, which are unsymmetrical in the former class, although they could not be reliably separated into bands pertinent to the individual conformers. This conclusion is at variance with the common interpretation which has invariably ascribed to these and similar ortho derivatives non-planar conformations with a variable torsional angle. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Barrier heights for P - C bond homolysis in P-hydroxy-P-methyl-P,P-dioxophosphoranyl and P,P,P-trihydroxy-P-methylphosphoranyl were calculated using well correlated levels of electronic structure theory. The best estimate for the difference in barriers between the two indicates that homolysis is more facile for P,P,P-trihydroxy-P-methylphosphoranyl by roughly 9 kcal mol-1. This result suggests that bacterial pathways leading to P - C bond cleavage in organophosphonate derivatives will preferentially proceed via initial one-electron reduction of substrates rather than oxidation. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The peculiarities of [8+2] cycloaddition reactions of indolizines with dienophiles are reviewed. Quantum chemical SINDO1, AM1 and ab initio calculations of transition states were performed for [8+2] cycloaddition reactions of indolizine and 6-nitroindolizine with a series of alkenes with donor and acceptor groups. The calculations predict a dipolar cycloaddition mechanism (electrophilic addition and ring closure) for reactions of indolizine and 6-nitroindolizine with nitroethylene. For the reaction of 6-nitroindolizine with N,N-dimethylaminoethylene, the predicted mechanism corresponds to a previously unknown ‘inverse’ dipolar cycloaddition (nucleophilic addition and ring closure). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Gas-phase nucleophilic substitution reactions of Y-benzyl chlorides with X-phenoxide and X-thiophenoxide nucleophiles were investigated theoretically using the PM3 semi-empirical MO method. The Leffler-Grunwald rate-equilibrium and Brønsted correlations predict that the degree of bond formation in the transition state (TS) is approximately 45 and 40% on the reaction coordinate for the phenoxides and thiophenoxides, respectively. For a weaker nucleophile, a later TS is obtained with an increased bond making and breaking. The variation of the TS structure with substituents in the nucleophile is thermodynamically controlled and is well correlated by rate-equilibrium relationships. In contrast, the TS variation (a tighter TS) with substituent (for a stronger acceptor Y) in the substrate is dependent only on variations of the intrinsic barrier and so cannot be correlated by such thermodynamically based rate-equilibrium relationships. The gas phase ρX and ρY values are much greater in magnitude than those in solution. A similar gas-phase theoretical cross-interaction constant, ρXY (ca -0.60), is obtained for both phenoxides and thiophenoxides, which is in good agreement with the experimental value (-0.62) for the thiophenoxide reactions in MeOH at 20.0 °C. The oxy and sulfur anion bases lead to a similar TS structure, but a lower reactivity for the former is due to a greater endothermicity of the reaction. A relatively wide range variation of the reaction energies, ΔG°, can be ascribed to the loss of resonance stabilization of anion nucleophiles upon product formation. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Os(VIII) and Ru(III) catalysis of the periodate oxidation of acetaldehyde in aqueous alkaline medium was investigated. The catalytic efficiency is Ru(III)〈Os(VIII). The product of oxidation in both cases is acetate and IO3-. The stoichiometry is the same in both catalyzed reactions, i.e. [IO4-]:[CH3CHO] = 1:1. Probable mechanisms are proposed and discussed.

    Notes: Rate constants of solvolysis of α-tert-butyl(2-naphthyl)methyl chloride (1), 9-fluorenyl chloride (2) and a series of monosubstituted benzhydryl chlorides (3) in a wide range of solvents were measured. Grunwald-Winstein-type correlation analysis of log k for 2 and 3 against YBnCl, with or without nucleophilicity N, yielded less satisfactory linear correlations than that against log k(1). A new scale of solvent ionizing power, YxBnCl, for the correlation of solvolytic reactivities of benzylic chlorides with extended charge delocalization based on log k(1) was developed. Application to the mechanistic study suggested the solvolysis of 2 and 4-nitrobenzhydryl chloride were non-limiting. Hammett plots against σ+ constants exhibited more negative ρ values in less nucleophilic solvents. In a benzhydryl chloride containing a strong deactivating substituent, such as 4-nitro, the positive charge delocalizes mainly over the unsubstituted ring in the cationic transition state. The uneven charge distribution was also confirmed by Mulliken population analysis at the level of the RHF/6-31G*//RHF/3-21G(*) basis set for cations. Comparison of the results of correlation analysis using the equation log(k/k0) = mY vs the equation log(k/k0) = mY+hI, and using the equation log(k/k0) = mY+lN vs the equation log(k/k0) = mY+lN+hI indicated the use of YBnCl or YxBnCl could give a better understanding of solvolytic mechanisms than the combinatorial use of YCl and I. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The UHF-SCF-AM1 MO method was applied to the study of two kinds of pyrolysis reactions of six nitro derivatives of phenols (homolysis reaction by rupture of the C - NO2 bond into radicals and isomerization reaction involving phenolic hydrogen transferring to oxygen on the NO2 group). The molecular geometries of reactants, transition states and products were fully optimized. The potential energy curves and activation energies were first obtained. The results show that this category of compounds is more easily initiated via isomerization reactions than by homolysis reactions. The parallel relationship among the Wiberg bond order of the pyrolysis-initiation H - O bond in the molecule of a reactant, the activation energy of the isomerization reaction breaking the H - O bond and impact sensitivity of the reactant gives ‘the principle of the smallest bond order’ (PSBO) powerful support. The sensitizing effect of a phenol group was elucidated based on calculation results. The different influences of OH and NO2 groups on the heat of formation of a molecule are discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Phthalic anhydride was detected spectrophotometrically in the hydrolysis of o-carboxybenzohydroxamic acid (OCBA) in CH3CN-H2O solvent containing 0.03 mol dm-3 HCl. Pseudo-first-order rate constants (k1) for hydrolysis of OCBA are almost independent of the change in CH3CN content from 10 to 80% (v/v) in mixed aqueous solvents. The rate constants k1 are more than 10-fold larger than the corresponding rate constants for hydrolysis of phthalamic acid. These observations are explained in terms of a mechanism slightly different from the mechanism for hydrolysis of phthalamic acid. The activation parameters, ΔH* and ΔS*, are not affected appreciably by an increase in CH3CN content from 10 to 80% in mixed aqueous solvents. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A preferential solvation model that takes into account the enhancement of the structure of water when small amounts of alcohol are added was applied to solvatochromic data for binary mixtures of water with 2-methylpropan-2-ol, propan-2-ol, ethanol and methanol. Application of the model allows the calculation of the effect of the enhancement of the water structure on solvatochromic solvent properties. It is demonstrated that the enhancement of water structure increases the solvent dipolarity/polarizability and hydrogen-bond donor acidity and decreases the solvent hydrogen-bond acceptor basicity. The effect decreases in the order 2-methylpropan-2-ol-water, propan-2-ol-water, ethanol-water and methanol-water. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The coordination of a resonance-stabilized hydrocarbon cation and anion yielded a series of unprecedented hydrocarbons, which are susceptible to thermal heterolytic cleavage of carbon-carbon σ bonds in polar media, generating the original ions under reversible conditions. When the component ions were sufficiently stabilized, some ion pairs were even isolated as solids, thus providing the first examples of hydrocarbon salts. The direct observation of the heterolysis by means of spectroscopy permitted reliable thermodynamic treatments of the observed degree of ionic dissociation. Correlation of the free energy of heterolysis with solvent dielectric constants and parameters of ion stabilities such as pKHA, pKR+ and redox potentials revealed the importance of the thermodynamic stabilities of ions, the degree of solvation and steric congestion in the starting molecule as major controlling factors in the heterolysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The effects of micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr), tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTABr), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and polyoxyethylene 10 lauryl ether (C12E10) on the rates of alkaline hydrolysis of securinine were studied at a constant [-OH] (0.05 M). An increase in the total concentrations of CTABr, TTABr, SDS and C12E10 from 0.0 to 0.2 M causes a decrease in the observed pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) by factors of ca 2.5, 3, 7 and 4, respectively. The observed data are explained in terms of pseudophase and pseudophase ion-exchange (PIE) models of micelle. The binding constants, KS, of securinine with SDS, C12E10, CTABr and TTABr micelles are 32.4, 14.8, 22.1, and 9.1 M-1, respectively. The magnitudes of the second-order rate constants, kM, for the reactions in the micellar pseudophase are negligible compared with the corresponding rate constant, kW, for the reaction occurring in the aqueous pseudophase for CTABr, TTABr, SDS and C12E10. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: 2-Methylindole (2-MI) is adsorbed on the surface of colloidal CdS particles with an adsorption intensity of 0.6 × 103 dm3 mol-1. A new emission band at 530 nm is produced by forming an exciplex between excited CdS and 2-MI and the red emission due to CdS is simultaneously quenched. The emission maxima of green bands for different indoles increase in the order indole 〈 tryptophan 〈 2-MI 〈 3-MI and are observed at 508, 520, 530 and 540 nm, respectively. The shift in emission maxima is related to the oxidation potential of these substrates. The irradiation of an aerated reaction mixture containing CdS and 2-MI with visible light induces the oxidation of adsorbed 2-MI by photogenerated holes to produce 2-methyl-3-indolinone and 2-acetamidobenzaldehyde. The latter product is formed due to oxidative C - C bond cleavage of the pyrrole ring. The reactivity of trapped holes towards the adsorbed 2-MI is evidenced by a decrease in the lifetime of the red emission of CdS in the presence of 2-MI. In this reaction the possibility of the participation of singlet oxygen is ruled out. A general mechanism of CdS-induced oxidation of indoles is discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Transition metal-catalyzed decomposition of phenyliodonium and diphenylsulfonium ylides was investigated with regard to application in asymmetric carbenoid reactions. Phenyliodonium ylides react in the presence of Rh(II) catalysts with the same selectivity in inter- and intramolecular cyclopropanations as the corresponding diazo compounds, and intramolecular CH insertions proceed with identical enantioselectivities. With diphenylsulfonium ethoxycarbonylmethylide the Cu(I)-catalyzed cyclopropanation of olefins affords trans/cis ratios and asymmetric inductions identical with those of diazo compounds, but with Rh(II) catalysts some small, although significant, selectivity variations occur, which are ascribed to coordination of diphenyl sulfide to one of the coordination sites of the catalyst. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Above a certain concentration, polysoaps form intramolecular and intermolecular aggregates in aqueous solution. They have attracted much attention not only for their ability to mimic some functions demonstrated by biopolymers but also for their important industrial applications.

    Notes: Efforts to developed detailed insights into the structure and function of the molecules of memory, thought and sensory perception - physical organic chemistry on the brain - are described. By combining more conventional chemical tools with a number of techniques adapted from modern biology, it is now possible to perform systematic structure-function studies on the integral membrane proteins that play a central role in molecular neurobiology. There are substantial challenges associated with such studies, but we believe the potential payoff is considerable. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Hydrogens located at activated positions in electrophilic arenes, e.g. ortho and para hydrogens in nitrobenzenes, can be replaced with a nucleophile moiety provided there is at least one nucleofuge X connected to the nucleophilic centre. As the group really leaving in this hydrogen substitution process is not the hydride anion but X, the reaction has been named vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (VNS). The concepts on the mechanism of the reaction and their experimental background are presented. Reactivity and orientation - the fundamental questions concerning synthetical applications of VNS - are discussed in light of the supposed mechanistic picture.

    Notes: An essential feature of the concept of aromaticity has been the stability and lack of reactivity of aromatics relative to that of other unsaturated compounds. Contrary to this general experience, high and unusual reactivity is encountered when simple, monocyclic benzene rings are bent by short bridges into a boat-shaped conformation, as is the case in small [n] paracyclophanes (n ≤ 8) and [n]metacyclophanes (n ≤ 7). This is illustrated, mostly with examples taken from the authors' own work, for thermal and photochemical behavior and reactions with electrophiles, nucleophiles and dienophiles. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A decade's worth of work is reviewed: building on the demonstrated prowess of heterogeneous catalysis in industrial organic chemistry, the author's laboratory devised efficient catalysts for a number of organic reactions, based on aluminosilicates such as clays and zeolites. This review also spells out, at a time when creative research is overshadowed by imitative research, some of the methodological musts that also happen to characterize physical organic chemistry: the devising of experiments so that accurate numerical data can be obtained; the importance of remote, interdisciplinary connections; the need for estrangement from stereotypic preconceptions that may obscure the true explanations for the phenomena; and the over-riding need for concerning oneself only, or at least predominantly, with the important facts that nature tells, if one cares to listen. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The advantage of adding more structure-diagnostic information to the simple detection of flash photolytically generated transient species by changes in UV-visible light absorbance is illustrated by a case study involving the mandelic acid keto-enol system. An early report based on preliminary evidence proposed that flash photolysis of phenyldiazoacetic acid produces the enol of mandelic acid by hydration of phenylhydroxyketene, itself generated by a photo-Wolff reaction of the diazo acid. Further examination, however, shows that this is only a minor route, and that the major pathway is a new enol-forming reaction involving what appears to be hydration of a carboxycarbene formed by dediazotization of the diazo compound. Hydration of phenylhydroxyketene is nevertheless the reaction by which mandelic acid enol is generated when esters of benzoylformic acid are the flash photolysis substrates. These mechanisms, and also identification of the enol as a tranisent species, are supported by detailed arguments involving acid-base catalysis, solvent isotope effects, and the use of oxygen-18 as a tracer. The work produces a keto-enol equilibrium constant for the mandelic acid system, pKE  =  16.19, and also acidity constants of the enol ionizing as an oxygen acid, pKEa  =  6.39, and the keto isomer ionizing as a carbon acid, pKKa  =  22.57. The bearing of these results on the enzyme-catalyzed racemization of mandelic acid is discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: ---Five seed oils consisting of unusual triacylglycerols have been examined by high temperature gas chromatography using glass capillary columns coated with the stationary phase SOP-50 (50%-diphenyl-50%-dimethylpolysiloxane, methoxy-terminated). The investigated hydroxy, epoxy, and ketokonjuene triacylglycerols were first derivatized in order to permit analysis by high temperature gas chromatography. Structural elucidation of the intact triacylglycerols was performed with high temperature gas chromatography/negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry using NH3 as a reagent gas. Individual derivatized lipid species with a molecular weight up to 1176 g/mol could be identified.

    Notes: ---Poor signal-to-noise ratios and analytical reproducibility in capillary electrophoresis were improved by application of multiple injections of the same sample at (pseudo) randomly chosen time moments. One order of signal-to-noise ratio improvement was achieved in practice using an in-house developed computer-controlled pneumatic sampler. However, it is demonstrated here that better implementation of the capabilities of multiple input requires that the detector signal noise be “pre-whitened”, i.e. spikes, baseline drift, oscillations etc. must be removed from the detector signal before transforming it to the electropherogram in the common form. Such filtering of the detector signal was realized by implementing iterative, menu-driven software written in Matlab, a high-level programming language.

    Notes: ---A cryogenic preconcentration/high-resolution gas chromatographic technique has been developed for the rapid, simultaneous quantitation of C1-C4 organic nitrates and halocarbons in ambient air. Whole-air samples are collected in TedlarTM bags by an evacuated-chamber method. Samples were stable in 0.010-cm-thick bags for 24 h if they were immediately stored in a freezer at -25°C. Analytes in a 50-cm3 air sample were efficiently preconcentrated on fused-silica beads at -180°C and thermally desorbed at 30°C. High-resolution gas chromatography with a cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane fused-silica capillary column and an electron-capture detector were used for separation and quantitation of the analytes. An analysis time of about 12 min was facilitated by sample cryofocusing at -180°C and oven temperature programming. Recoveries of the analytes by the evacuated-chamber method were better than 95%. The sensitivity of the technique for sample volumes of 50 cm3 is in the sub-parts-per-trillion by volume (ppt[v]) range for many of the analytes, with an average precision of about ±5% for analytes at levels of about 10 ppt(v).

    Notes: ---Following an extended screening project, 86 racemic drugs were investigated by capillary zone electrophoresis in the presence of the chiral solvating agent (CSA) hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. A total of 42 drugs out of 86 tested was thereby separated into enantiomeric pairs. Statistical analysis of the numerous experiments performed un der identical conditions reveals a loose correlation of the migration separation factor (αm) with the migration retardation factor (Rm). For a subset of 23 drugs, a drop in the concentration of the CSA was also studied, showing the way to further optimization.

    Notes: ---In the present work, four organic modifiers, viz. urea, dioxane, methanol, and tetrahydrofuran, were comparatively and systematically studied in terms of their effects on electrokinetic migration behavior and the retention mechanism of homologous solutes in MECC. The results showed that the electroosmotic mobility, μeo, and the electrophoretic mobility of a micelle, μep,mc, decrease linearly with increasing organic modifier concentration. The ability of organic modifiers to lower μeo is greater than their ability to lower μep,mc. The negative values of the slopes of these linear relationships, Deo and Dep,mc, increase along the series the order urea 〈 methanol 〈 dioxane 〈 tetrahydrofuran. The logarithm of the capacity factor (ln k′) of uncharged homologous solute, which is mainly determined by the hydrophobic interaction, decreases linearly with increasing organic modifier concentration, due not only to the decrease in the partition coefficient but also to the decrease in the phase ratio. A linear relationship was observed between the slope of the plot of ln k′ vs. organic modifier concentration and the carbon number of homologous compound. The slope of such a relationship can characterize the hydrophobicity of the organic modifier. The hydrophobicity of such organic modifiers is also found to increase along the series urea 〈 methanol 〈 dioxane 〈 tetrahydrofuran.

    Notes: ---A recently introduced programmable fluorescence detector was compared with a single wavelength fluorescence detector for quantification of fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibacterial agents, which have widely varying spectral characteristics. The two detectors were connected in parallel to an HPLC system to test their performance characteristics. With single wavelength detection, two FQs, flumequine and oxolinic acid could be detected at an emission wavelength of 368 nm in a single chromatogram while a third FQ, sarafloxacin, was not observed at that wavelength. Similarly, when the detector was optimized for sarafloxacin emission at 440 nm, the other two compounds were undetected. In contrast, all three FQs were quantified at their individual maxima in a single run using the programmable fluorescence detection. The applicability of an HPLC - programmable fluorescence detector, in combination with on-line microdialysis, also was evaluated using chicken liver fortified at low ppb levels with the three FQs. After on-line microdialysis sample clean up, the resultant HPLC chromatograms were free of background interference enabling the programmable detector to optimize the quantitation of the three analytes in a single run. The limit of quantification (LOQ) determined for each FQ was 1.0 ppb and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.2 ppb, an order lower in magnitude than was obtainable with single wavelength detection.

    Notes: ---In order to increase chromatographic selectivity and to extend the analytical capability of reversed phase liquid chromatography (RP HPLC) many investigators have concentrated on the preparation of silica based column packings with chemically bonded phases (CBP). These phases have also been successfully used in sample preparation techniques, mainly in solid phase extraction (SPE). Although alkyl bonded phases (e.g., C2, C8, and C18) are the most widely used packings in RP HPLC and SPE, various specific applications require CBPs with polar functional groups (e.g., -NH2, -NO2, -CN, and/or -OH). The solution of problems with separation of complicated chiral compounds was attempted by applying stationary phases with chiral selectors (e.g., cyclodextrins, Pirkle phases, crown ethers, etc.). On the other hand, packings with pseudo-membrane or liquid crystal properties have been utilized for the separation of various substances of natural origin. Porous silica is commonly used as a support in the preparation of CBPs. Its physico-chemical characteristics, such as: type and structure of siliceous matrix, porosity, type and concentration of silanol groups, as well as surface purity, strongly influence the density and structure of chemically bonded phases. Recognition of these properties is helpful in optimizing separation processes based on RP HPLC elution and/or extraction of substances with polar character.

    Notes: ---Capillary gas chromatography was performed with mass spectrometric detection using a novel microplasma ion source for operation in an element-selective mode. The ion source was a 350 kHz radio frequency helium plasma, which was sustained inside the 4 cm end of a 0.32 mm i.d. fused silica capillary column, and located inside the high vacuum chamber of the quadrupole mass spectrometer. Due to the low volume of the ion source, a stable low pressure discharge was produced utilizing only the 2.25 mL min-1 of GC carrier gas (helium) for plasma support. Small amounts of oxygen (0.1-0.2% v/v) were added to the plasma gas in order to prevent carbon deposits and to enhance signal-to-noise ratios. Chlorine and bromine were selectively detected at the 5-20 pg s-1 level (S/N = 2), and both produced a response that was linear within 3 orders of magnitude.

    Notes: ---Quartz rods coated with a thin layer of chemically modified silica gel have been used for the generation of a two-component gaseous standard mixture containing carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. A new method based on thermal decomposition of immobilized compounds chemically bonded to the surface of silica gel has been used in the generation process. The oxalic acid moiety bonded to the glycydoxypropylsilylated surface of silica gel underwent decarbonylation and decarboxylation at 300°C, yielding carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. On-line connection of a thermal desorber with the GC/FID enabled calibration of the detector following the process of methanization of CO and CO2. The following amounts of CO and CO2 were generated per unit length of the rod: 15.1 × 10-8 Mol cm-1 (RSD = 5.71%) for CO and 34.2 × 10-8 Mol cm-1(RSD = 5.16%) for CO2.

    Notes: ---A large-volume on-column GC-cryotrapping-IR system was developed for injections of up to 100 μl of organic extracts. Considerable reduction of the solvent-and-water background and enhanced analyte detectability was achieved by using an open-split interface between the GC column and the IR detector and improving the leak-tightness of the system. The system was combined with solid-phase extraction to yield on-line SPE-GC-IR. With this set-up, sample volumes of only 20 ml sufficed to detect, and identify, microcontaminants in tap and surface water at the 0.1-1 μg/L level. Detection limits were on the order of 15 ng/L for tap water when using appropriate functional-group chromatograms. Or, in other words, SPE-GC-IR is a suitable technique for the screening of environmental water samples for functional groups, i.e. classes of compounds, of interest.

    Notes: ---The use of hot splitless, cold splitless, and on-column injections for trace analysis in narrow-bore capillary GC is evaluated. Despite the low flow rates for the columns used, the required splitless times for splitless injections can be surprisingly short if liners with a small inside diameter are used. On-column injection can be applied by using an appropriate normal-bore precolumn coupled to the narrow-bore analytical column using a specially designed low dead volume column connector. The effects of the experimental conditions such as sample volume, injection temperature, and initial oven temperature on peak focusing and the discrimination and degradation behavior of the analytes are discussed. The possibilities to obtain sensitive and fast separations are illustrated by various applications.

    Notes: ---A capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method for the simultaneous assay of bromide, iodide, nitrite, nitrate, and thiocyanate using direct UV detection is reported. The method is based on the separation of anions in a capillary coated with a cationic polymer, polyethyleneimine (PEI). The minimum detection limits, reproducibility of peak areas, and migration times were determined at the optimal condition. The method was applied to the analysis of tap water and human urine. The changes in separation selectivity of the anions resulting from addition of the cationic polymer to the buffer were investigated.

    Notes: ---The influence of a hydrostatic counter pressure on basic mobility equations in MEKC was analyzed theoretically and investigated experimentally. Taking into account the influence of counter pressure, the modified mobility equations predict a decreased migration time ratio t0/tMC, which was confirmed by results obtained in SDS-MEKC separation of a homologous series of n-alkyl phenyl ketones. As a result, the migration time window could be enlarged in a simple way without having to change the chemistry of the system. Although counter pressures reduce peak efficiency in MEKC by disturbing the plug profile, the concomitant enlargement of the migration time window compensates for this effect. Especially for later migrating compounds, peak resolution could be enhanced at moderate counter pressures. The overall peak capacities within the whole migration window increases slightly when applying counter pressures up to 10 mbar.

    Notes: ---This paper addresses the influence of small organic cations in the background electrolyte (BGE) on chiral separation by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Seven basic drugs, viz. alprenolol, amphetamine, anisodamine, isoprenaline, pinacidil, synephrine, and verapamil were used as test compounds with hydroxylpropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) as the chiral selector. Resolution of the chiral test compounds was studied at pH 2.5 in the presence of Tris, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, diethylamine, and triethylamine, which exist in their cationic forms at this pH value. Among the six cationic additives studied, triethylamine is most effective in enhancing resolution. A tentative mechanism of the effect is proposed.

    Notes: ---A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the separation of twenty one constituents of Shao-yao-tang including six flavonoids, six alkaloids, three anthraquinones, three carboxylic acids, one monoterpene, one saponin, and one aldehyde was developed. Detection at 275 nm with a linear gradient elution system consisting of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBA) and acetic acid solution was found to be suitable for determination of nineteen marker substances in an unpretreated Shao-yao-tang extract within 75 min. This method can also be used to analyze 11-14 components in a number of Chinese herbal preparations such as San-huang-hsieh-hsin-tang, Ching-chieh-lien-chiao-tang, San-tsung-kuei-chien-tang, Chai-hu-ching-kan-tang, and Ching-yin-li-ke-tang.

    Notes: ---The cold pressed peel oils of three species of citrus fruit, viz. sweet orange, tangerine, and grapefruit, have been examined for polymethoxyflavones by GC and GC-MS. Four GC column stationary phases were compared and separation of the six predominant orange oil polymethoxyflavones was obtained isothermally at 310°C in under ten minutes, including the resolution of the polymethoxyflavones from β-sitosterol. The nature of the stationary phase and the analysis temperature exercise dramatic effects on the resolution and elution order of the components, DB-35ms providing the best overall separation. A temperature programmed separation is also presented and the polymethoxyflavone composition of all three oils, as determined by GC-MS, is described. This is the first reported GC-MS study of the PMFs of these citrus species. While tangerine oil is as rich in polymethoxyflavones as orange oil, they are less abundant and occur at lower concentrations in grapefruit oil. Hydroxy-polymethoxyflavones were identified by GC-MS in tangerine oil. One hydroxy-pentamethoxyflavone, M+ = 388, identified in tangerine was also present at low levels in both orange and grapefruit oils. These results are compared with previous studies utilizing HPLC and GC.

    Notes: ---Reversed-flow MEKC, i.e. MEKC at low pHs to suppress the electroosmotic flow, was evaluated for the separation of some homologous series. At low pHs compared to MEKC, the elution order reverses and normal phase type migration is obtained. Moreover, the elution window is nearly infinite. Efficiencies are very high and reproducibilities in absolute migration times are acceptable (%RSD 〈 5). The influence of a series of alcohol modifiers was investigated.

    Notes: ---High temperature gas chromatography (HT-GC) coupled to atomic emission detection (AED) has been applied for the determination of alkyl chain distribution, mole average degree of ethoxylation and weight percent distribution of the corresponding homologues of alcohol ethoxylates without all the actual homologues being available as pure references. Based upon its constant elemental response, the HT-GC-AED system has been evaluated for its applicability to compound independent calibration within the homologous series of the alcohols and alcohol ethoxylates. Discrimination against high molecular weight components by gas chromatography requires conversion to the acetyl or trimethylsilyl derivatives. The latter includes introduction of the hetero atom silicon and thus allows monitoring of the silicon trace. Thus selectivity will be enhanced by excluding detection of compounds which do not react with the derivatization reagent. The method has been validated with the analysis of the technical product Brij 30, consisting of a mixture of alcohol ethoxylates with a vendor-specified mole average degree of ethoxylation of four. The experimental result yields a mole average degree of 4.0 ± 0.1 in the carbon, silicon and oxygen traces.

    Notes: ---The usefulness of capillary electrophoresis (CE) with diode array detection for the profiling of Propolis, a hive product, is investigated. Water extracts of Propolis were analyzed with both capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) at pH 7.0 and 9.3, and micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with sodium dodecyl sulfate at pH 9.3. Characteristic profiles were obtained and several organic acids and preservatives could be identified by means of library comparison of the recorded UV spectra combined with addition of reference compounds to the extracts. The selectivity of the CZE and MEKC system differed considerably but the information obtained with both methods was similar. The dry residues of the water extraction were extracted with ethanol-water (70 : 30, v/v) and analyzed with the MEKC system to enable the separation of the more hydrophobic constituents of the Propolis samples. Complex profiles containing various well separated peaks were obtained allowing the identification of some interesting flavonoids. On the basis of the recorded CZE and MEKC profiles, the Propolis samples could be divided into two clearly different groups which are probably from a different origin.

    Notes: ---Simultaneous element-selective detection of the halogens and carbon was accomplished with capillary gas chromatography coupled with microplasma mass spectrometry. The microplasma ion source was a radio frequency plasma contained inside the last 4-5 cm of the 0.32 mm i.d. fused silica capillary column. The ion source was located inside the high vacuum housing of the MS, and only the GC carrier gas (2.3 mL min-1 of helium) was used for plasma generation. Atomic ions were detected in the positive mode. Detection limits were in the low picogram area, and the selectivity to carbon ranged from 8×102 for fluorine to higher than 104 for the other halogens. By introduction of both hydrogen and oxygen as reagent gases, peak tailing was avoided by suppression of analyte reactions with the silica walls of the ion source. Special attention was given to the fluorine-selective detection due to an interfering background species at m/z 19, assumed to be H3O+ originating from the reagent gases. The background signal was minimized by careful control of the power level.

    Notes: ---In order to establish guidelines to help the analyst in the choice of the most suitable octadecyl or octyl bonded phase for the LC analysis of a given partially methylated β-CD sample, analyses of four commercially available dimethyl-β-cyclodextrins (DM-β-CDs) have been carried out on nine octyl (C8) or octadecyl (C18) silica bonded or polymeric bonded phases which differ significantly in their hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Chromatograms show that the nature of the packing materials has considerable influence on the resolution of complex mixtures composed of closely related compounds such as partially methylated β-CDs. Among various kinds of C8 and C18 bonded phases, silica based and monomeric phases which present both reinforced hydrophobic and polar interactions showed the best performance. Whatever the complexity of the commercial DM-β-CD, the richest chromatographic fingerprints, which best depict the complexity of the mixture, are obtained with Nucleosil 50-5-C8 column. For the simplest mixtures, Nucleosil 50-5-C8 column with acetonitrile-water (34:66) as mobile phase is the most suitable chromatographic system and leads to the best resolution between heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-CD and hexakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-mono(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-CD (14 OCH3 and 15 OCH3). This chromatographic system might enable an LC-MS coupling for direct identification of the different components in the mixture as well as control of batch to batch variations.

    Notes: ---It was shown that reciprocally unambiguous conformity between GC retention indices (at least for the commonly used standard nonpolar polydimethylsiloxane liquid phases) and boiling points of organic compounds is typical not only within one-dimensional taxonomic groups (homologous series and/or groups of congeners), but also within two- and multidimensional taxonomic groups (with simultaneous variations of some structural fragments). In all cases, this conformity is described by three-parameter non-linear equations log RI = a log Tb + b (n1 + Σ ki ni) + c, where n1 is the serial number of homologue within corresponding series and ni is the number of other structural fragments in the molecules. The coefficients ki in this equation reflect the relative alterations of molecular polarizabilities and may be estimated as ratios of refractions ki = RD(X)/RD(CH2), where X are variable structural fragments within a group of congeners, RD(CH2) = 4.647 cm3mol-1. The approach under discussion permits precalculation of the retention indices of any organic compounds with known boiling points. The precision of proposed method of RI precalculation is comparable with the contemporary level of interlaboratory reproducibility of experimental RI determination with standard nonpolar liquid phases (5-10 i.u.).

    Notes: ---Savings in analysis time in capillary GC have always been an important issue for chromatographers since the introduction of capillary columns by Golay in 1958. In laboratories where gas chromatographic techniques are routinely applied as an analytical technique, every reduction of analysis time, without significant loss of resolution, can be translated into a higher sample throughput and hence reduce the laboratory operating costs. In this contribution, three different approaches for obtaining fast GC separations are investigated. First, a narrow-bore column is used under conventional GC operating conditions. Secondly, the same narrow-bore column is used under typical fast GC conditions. Here, a high oven temperature programming rate is used. The third approach uses a recent new development in GC instrumentation: Flash-2D-GC. Here the column is placed inside a metal tube, which is resistively heated. With this system, a temperature programming rate of 100°/s is possible. The results obtained with each of these three approaches are compared with results obtained on a column with conventional dimensions. This comparison takes retention times as well as plate numbers and resolution into consideration.

    Notes: ---New chiral polysiloxanes have been prepared as stationary phases for gas chromatography, with (S)-(-)-t-leucine-t-butylamide, (S)-(-)-t-leucine-(S)-(-)-1-phenylethylamide, (S)-(-)-t-leucine-(S)-(-)-1-(α-naphthyl)ethylamide, (S)-(-)-t-leucine-(R)-( + )-1-phenylethylamide, and (S)-(-)-t-leucine-(R)-( + )-1-(α-naphthyl)ethylamide as selectors. Immobilization is achieved by radical-induced cross-linking with 1,3,5,7-tetravinyl-1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (V4) and dicumyl peroxide (DCUP) as cross-linking reagents and cured at 170°C. Under these conditions, racemization of (S)-(-)-t-leucine is less than 4.5% (R) for 1 h curing, while for polysiloxanes with the conventional (S)-(-)-valine selectors about 20% of R-enantiomers are formed by racemization. In the presence of 5% (w/w) V4 and 6% of DCUP with regard to the phases, 70-80% immobilization is achieved; without V4, the degree of immobilization is about 50% for both the (S)-(-)-t-leucine and (S)-(-)-valine selectors. As the size of the amide moieties of the selectors increases from t-butyl to 1-(α-naphthyl)ethyl, the degree of immobilization decreases. If the curing time is prolonged to 2 h, the extent of racemization increases. The selectivity factors achieved for amino acid enantiomers and similar pharmaceuticals are generally higher than those obtained with the corresponding non-immobilized Chirasil-Val phases.
