  • Methanesulfonyl Chloride
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk.

Abstract: A successful rapid synthesis of dendritic benzyl chlorides from dendritic benzyl alcohols using methanesulfonyl chloride/Et3N as activating agents was described. In this method, each dendritic benzyl chloride can be prepared in one pot: no isolation of intermediate mesylated dendrons is required. The key steps in the syntheses of dendritic benzyl chlorides were the mesylation of the hydroxymethyl group followed by the chlorination by in-situ generated triethylammonium chloride. Keywords: benzylic alcohol, chlorination. Introduction vation and coupling steps in high yield. In addition, the coupling step must be very efficient to enable complete Dendrimers represent a novel type of polymeric material reaction.

  • Particularly Hazardous Substances
    Particularly Hazardous Substances In its Laboratory Standard, OSHA requires the establishment of additional protections for persons working with "Particularly Hazardous Substances" (PHS). OSHA defines these materials as "select" carcinogens, reproductive toxins and acutely toxic materials. Should you wish to add: explosive, violently reactive, pyrophoric and water-reactve materials to this category, the information is included. Carbon nanotubes have also been added due to their suspected carcinogenic properties.

The program responds to the mandate of the Justice System Improvement Act of 1979, which directed NIJ to encourage research and development to improve the criminal justice system and to disseminate the results to Federal, State, and local agencies. The Law Enforcement and Corrections Standards and Testing Program is an applied research effort that determines the technological needs of justice system agencies, sets minimum performance standards for specific devices, tests commercially available equipment against those standards, and disseminates the standards and the test results to criminal justice agencies nationally and internationally. The program operates through: The Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Advisory Council (LECTAC), consisting of nationally recognized criminal justice practitioners from Federal, State, and local agencies, which assesses technological needs and sets priorities for research programs and items to be evaluated and tested. The Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which develops voluntary national performance standards for compliance testing to ensure that individual items of equipment are suitable for use by criminal justice agencies.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Sarains A-C are marine alkaloids produced by the sponge Reniera sarai, which exhibit antitumor, antibacterial, and insecticidal activities. Sarains A-C have a complex structure, which comprises of a l,5-diazatetracyclo[6.2.1.1^’^.0'^’*^]dodecane tricyclic core surrounded by two macrocycles. To date four groups have communicated the construction of the tricyclic core, however the total synthesis of sarains A-C has yet to be reported. This thesis describes the work undertaken towards the synthesis of a tricycle that contains the core structure of sarains A-C, by the use of a novel carbene mediated ylide rearrangement reaction.
