The loss of all deuterium labels from previous feedings of [2-²H]-,
[3,3-²H₂]-, and [2,3,3-²H₃]arginines had indicated the possible intermediacy
of β-hydroxy- and β-ketoarginine (30 and 31, respectively) in the
biosynthesis of the streptolidine portion of streptothricin F (la).
In order to confirm or refute this evidence, D,L-[2,3,3,5,5-²H₅]-
arginine (32) was...
A mechanism for filiform corrosion of aluminum is proposed
based on experimental evidence and the known aqueous chemistry of
the trivalent aluminum ion. Experimental methods utilized include
autoradiographs with Cl³⁶; pH paper determination of the filiform
head pH; activator concentration and activation period as they affect
filiform growth.
The pH...
Early studies on the biosynthesis of Sarubicin A, 1, had suggested the
intermediacy of the novel aromatic amino acid 6-hydroxyanthranilic acid,
17. To investigate the biosynthetic steps beyond 17, [¹³C-¹⁵N carboxamide]
6-hydroxyanthranilamide, 27a, was synthesized, and fed to fermentations
of Streptomyces helicus. Incorporation of 27a into 1 provided suggestive
evidence...
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the nature of the
chemical constituents of incense cedar bark with the hope that such an endeavor
would spur future research, development and use of a now neglected
natural raw material.
The bark from nine trees, which were separated into three age...
The core-electron ionization potentials for mono- and
di(trifluoromethyl)benzene, for chlorofluoromethanes and for
chlorine have been measured in order to give information on
the electron distribution in these molecules and to investigate
differences between the inductive effect of fluorine
and that of CF3. For trifluoromethylbenzene the measured
ionization potentials in eV...
The inert gas ion bombardment of solid surfaces has
found many uses in the field of analytical chemistry. In
one method of spectrochemical analysis, inert gas ion
bombardment in a glow discharge is used to produce an atomic
vapor, representative of the sample bulk, which is analyzed
using atomic absorption...
