Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. ii Word-searchable version – Not a true copy Foreword EPA is charged by Congress to protect the nation's land, air and water systems. Under a mandate of national environmental laws focused on air and water quality, solid waste management and the control of toxic substances, pesticides, noise and radiation, the Agency strives to formulate and implement actions which lead to a compatible balance between human activities and the ability of natural systems to support and nurture life. The Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Laboratory is the Agency's center of expertise for investigation of the soil and subsurface environment. Personnel at the Laboratory are responsible for management of research programs to: (a) determine the fate, transport and transformation rates of pollutants in the soil, the unsaturated and the saturated zones of the subsurface environment; (b) define the processes to be used in characterizing the soil and the subsurface environment as a receptor of pollutants; (c) develop techniques for predicting the effect of pollutants on ground water, soil, and indigenous organisms; and (d) define and demonstrate the applicability and limitations of using natural processes, indigenous to soil and subsurface environment, for the protection of this resource. The pump-and-treat process, whereby contaminated ground water is pumped to the surface for treatment, is one of the most common ground-water remediation technologies used at hazardous waste sites. However, recent research has identified complex chemical and physical interactions between contaminants and the subsurface media which may impose limitations on the extraction part of the process. This report was developed to summarize the basic considerations necessary to determine when, where, and how pump-and-treat technology can be used effectively to remediate ground-water contamination.

    chemengineering Article Group Contribution Revisited: The Enthalpy of Formation of Organic Compounds with “Chemical Accuracy” Robert J. Meier Pro-Deo Consultant, 52525 Heinsberg, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany; [email protected] Abstract: Group contribution (GC) methods to predict thermochemical properties are of eminent importance to process design. Compared to previous works, we present an improved group contri- bution parametrization for the heat of formation of organic molecules exhibiting chemical accuracy, i.e., a maximum 1 kcal/mol (4.2 kJ/mol) difference between the experiment and model, while, at the same time, minimizing the number of parameters. The latter is extremely important as too many parameters lead to overfitting and, therewith, to more or less serious incorrect predictions for molecules that were not within the data set used for parametrization. Moreover, it was found to be important to explicitly account for common chemical knowledge, e.g., geminal effects or ring strain. The group-related parameters were determined step-wise: first, alkanes only, and then only one additional group in the next class of molecules. This ensures unique and optimal parameter values for each chemical group. All data will be made available, enabling other researchers to extend the set to other classes of molecules.

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on aluminum backed silica plates (0.2 mm, 60 F254). Visualization of the developed chromatogram was performed by fluorescence quenching, using phosphomolybdic acid, anisaldehyde or potassium permanganate stains. Mass spectra (ESI) were recorded on a Finningan® Surveyor MSQ LC-MS spectrometer. HRMS spectra were recorded on Bruker® Maxis Impact QTOF spectrometer. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on Varian® Mercury (200 MHz and 50 MHz respectively), or a Bruker® Avance (500 MHz and 125 MHz), and are internally referenced to residual solvent signals. Data for 1H NMR are reported as follows: chemical shift (δ ppm), integration, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet, br s = broad singlet), coupling constant and assignment.

E-mail: [email protected] Dedicated to Professor Charles Rees F.R.S. on the occasion of his 75th birthday Abstract 4-Silylated oxazoles have been shown to undergo inter- and intramolecular Diels-Alder/retro- Diels-Alder reactions with electron-poor alkynes to generate polysubstituted furans. The ease of synthesis of the requisite oxazoles by the rhodium-catalysed condensation of nitriles with silylated diazoacetate greatly increases the scope of this reaction. Keywords: Silylated oxazoles, diazoacetate, furans, Diels-Alder, retro-Diels-Alder.
