It is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and the third most commonly used in North America.[1] 2,4-D is also an important synthetic auxin, often used in laboratories for plant research and as a supplement in plant cell culture media such as MS medium. History 2,4-D was developed during World War II by a British team at Rothamsted Experimental Station, under the leadership of Judah Hirsch Quastel, aiming to increase crop yields for a nation at war.[citation needed] When it was commercially released in 1946, it became the first successful selective herbicide and allowed for greatly enhanced weed control in wheat, maize (corn), rice, and similar cereal grass crop, because it only kills dicots, leaving behind monocots. Mechanism of herbicide action 2,4-D is a synthetic auxin, which is a class of plant growth regulators.

Moreover, we envisioned a new precursor for investigation of Ar-CF3 reductive elimination. We have successfully demonstrated the syntheses of [(dtbpy)Ni(CF3)2] and [(dtbpy)Ni(CF2CF3)2] in moderate yields. The key intermediate nickel complex, [(tmeda)Ni(CF3)Br] allowed for the preparation of new complexes in good yields.

  • Spectrophotometric Determination of Thiocyanate In
    Investigative Forensic Sciences © All rights are reserved by Buddha D. Paul and Thomas Research Article Open Access Spectrophotometric Determination of Thiocyanate in Human Saliva by a Unique Iodine-Azide-Chromogenic Substrate Reaction and its Application in Distinguishing Tobacco Smokers from Non-Smokers† Buddha D. Paul and Thomas Bosy Division of Forensic Toxicology, Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner, Dover AFB, Delaware, USA. Abstract A method to detect thiocyanate (SCN) in human saliva is presented. Thiocyanate concentrations appear to be diagnostic when classifying smokers or non-smokers, and in determining some clinical conditions. The method involves the reaction of SCN with excess iodine and azide, and spectroscopic detection of unreacted iodine by a chromogenic substrate, ABTS. The calibration was linear over the range of 12.5-150 µmol/L (slope = 0.0086 delta-Abs/SCN µmol/L, intercept = -0.0160 delta-Abs, R2 0.9998). The method was applied to analyze 29 saliva specimens. The results were similar to those obtained from a gas chromatography-mass 2 spectrometry method (slope = 0.9595, R 0.9790). Based on Grubbs equation applied to specimens from non-smoking subjects, a threshold concentration of 1100 µmol/L for SCN was determined to distinguish smokers from the non-smokers. The SCN concentrations in 18 out of 20 saliva specimens collected from 2 smokers were above this threshold. The specimens from smokers were also examined for nicotine and cotinine by a GCMS method. While nicotine concentrations were found to vary, the cotinine concentrations remained stable, 134+29 ng/mL. Generally, the presence of nicotine/cotinine in specimens only indicates exposure to tobacco products, but the presence of any of these compounds with elevated SCN, is an indication of smoking.

  • 4. Chemical and Physical Information
    PYRETHRINS AND PYRETHROIDS 131 4. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL INFORMATION 4.1 CHEMICAL IDENTITY The naturally-occurring pyrethrins, extracted from chrysanthemum flowers, are esters of chrysanthemic acid (Pyrethrin I, Cinerin I, and Jasmolin I) and esters of pyrethric acid (Pyrethrin II, Cinerin II, and Jasmolin II). In the United States, the pyrethrum extract is standardized as 45–55% w/w total pyrethrins. The typical proportion of Pyrethrins I to II is 0.2:2.8, while the ratio of pyrethrins:cinerins:jasmolins is 71:21:7 (Tomlin 1997). Information regarding the chemical identity of the pyrethrins is presented in Table 4-1. Pyrethroids are synthetic esters derived from the naturally-occurring pyrethrins. One exception to the axiom that all pyrethroids are esters of carboxylic acids is noteworthy. There is a group of oxime ethers that exhibits insecticidal activity similar in nature to the pyrethrins and pyrethroid esters (Davies 1985). Little data exist regarding these compounds, and no commercial products have been produced. Commercially available pyrethroids include allethrin, bifenthrin, bioresmethrin, cyfluthrin, cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate (fenvalerate), flucythrinate, flumethrin, fluvalinate, fenpropathrin, permethrin, phenothrin, resmethrin, tefluthrin, tetramethrin, and tralomethrin. Information regarding the chemical identity of pyrethroids is shown in Table 4-2. With the exception of deltamethrin, pyrethroids are a complex mixture of isomers rather than one single pure compound. For pyrethroids possessing the cyclopropane moiety, isomerism about the cyclopropane ring greatly influences the toxicity of these insecticides. The presence of two chiral centers in the ring results in two pairs of diastereomers. The diastereomers and their nonsuperimposable mirror images (enantiomers) are illustrated in Figure 4-1.
