This thesis investigated on the dehalogenation of 2, 4-
dichloropyrimidine in various different conditions. These conditions
were changed by varying the solvents, the amount of catalysts and
the hydrogen chloride acceptors in order to study the effects on the
yields.
It was found that the ether-aqueous sodium hydroxide medium
with...
A comparative study was made on the effect of urea denaturation
of bovine serum albumin (BSA), polyglycyl BSA and poly-L-phenylalanyl
BSA. The denaturation process was followed by ultraviolet
spectrophotometry and optical rotation.
A blue shift in the absorption maximum at 278 mμ was observed
in urea denatured proteins, In 7M...
The methanolysis of phosphorus trichloride coordinated to nickel
(0) has been studied. Free phosphorus trichloride reacts with methanol
to give dimethyl hydrogen phosphonate, methyl chloride, and hydrogen
chloride. The reaction involves a rearrangement on phosphorus using
the lone pair, in which the coordination number increases from three
to four. In...
Halogenated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (X-PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants that are thought to be generated by processes such as chemical industries and incomplete combustion, including waste incineration and electronic waste (e-waste) burning. X-PAHs are a concern for environmental and human health because they are toxic, mutagenic, and are expected to be...
Dihalocarbenes have been generated by thermal decomposition
of sodium trichloroacetate and tribromomethylphenylmercury, and
give mono dihalocyclopropyl adducts with steroid dienes. Such
compounds offer an easy starting point for the synthesis of unusual
derivatives of potential biological interest. Under the same conditions,
however, addition to non-conjugated double bonds does not
take...
Previous investigations of the biosynthesis of sterols by the
arterial wall have shown that the intact aorta is capable of low level
incorporation of labeled precursor into a sterol digitonide. The biosynthesis
of sterols and related lipids by a cell-free preparation of
bovine aorta was investigated in the present study....
