Cumyloxy (1-methyl-1-phenylethoxy) radicals have been generated by thermolysis (60�) of dicumyl hyponitrite in methyl methacrylate and styrene. The carbon-centred radicals formed by interaction of cumyloxyl with the respective monomers were trapped as stable adducts of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-isoindolin-2-yloxyl. Extensive hydrogen atom abstraction and methyl radical generation as well as double-bond addition were observed in methyl methacrylate. Styrene underwent only double-bond addition by both cumyloxy and methyl radicals. Some possible implications of these results for polymer structure are discussed. A kinetic study of the decomposition of dicumyl hyponitrite in cyclohexane at various temperatures gave k=7.7 × 1014exp(-13600/T) s-1 for the rate constant. Rate constants for the addition of cumyloxyl to methyl methacrylate (k ≈ 2 × 104 dm3 mol-1 s-1) and styrene (k≈2 × 105 dm3 mol-1 s-1) at 60�have been estimated.

AbstractThe delivery of alkyl radicals through photocatalytic deoxygenation of primary alcohols under mild conditions is a so far unmet challenge. In this report, we present a one-pot strategy for deoxygenative Giese reaction of alcohols with electron-deficient alkenes, by using xanthate salts as alcohol-activating groups for radical generation under visible-light photoredox conditions in the presence of triphenylphosphine. The convenient generation of xanthate salts and high reactivity of sequential C–S/C–O bond homolytic cleavage enable efficient deoxygenation of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols with diverse functionality and structure to generate the corresponding alkyl radicals, including methyl radical. Moreover, chemoselective radical monodeoxygenation of diols is achieved via selective formation of xanthate salts.

AbstractThe methylation of the C-5 position of deoxycytidine (dC) in the promoter regions of tumor suppressor genes is often observed in cancer cells. We found that various environmental agents, as well as endogenous compounds such as methionine sulfoxide (MetO), generate methyl radicals and modify dC to form 5-methyl-dC in DNA in vitro. We confirmed that both DNA methylation and cancer incidence in the liver were increased by the administration of MetO to oxidatively stressed mice. In this review, we summarize previous reports on methyl radical generation in vitro and in vivo and DNA modifications by methyl radicals, including our discoveries, as well as our recent experimental evidence suggesting that free radical-mediated dC methylation triggers epigenetic changes.

Recently we have investigated the phase equilibria and antiphase domain structures of Fe-Al alloys containing from 18 to 50 at.% Al by transmission electron microscopy and Mössbauer techniques. This study has revealed that none of the published phase diagrams are correct, although the one proposed by Rimlinger agrees most closely with our results to be published separately. In this paper observations by transmission electron microscopy relating to the nucleation of disorder in Fe-24% Al will be described. Figure 1 shows the structure after heating this alloy to 776.6°C and quenching. The white areas are B2 micro-domains corresponding to regions of disorder which form at the annealing temperature and re-order during the quench. By examining specimens heated in a temperature gradient of 2°C/cm it is possible to determine the effect of temperature on the disordering reaction very precisely. It was found that disorder begins at existing antiphase domain boundaries but that at a slightly higher temperature (1°C) it also occurs by homogeneous nucleation within the domains. A small (∼ .01°C) further increase in temperature caused these micro-domains to completely fill the specimen.

Temperature affects both elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons in a crystal. The Debye-Waller factor, B, describes the influence of temperature on the elastic scattering of electrons, whereas the imaginary part of the (complex) atomic form factor, fc = fr + ifi, describes the influence of temperature on the inelastic scattering of electrons (i.e. absorption). In HRTEM simulations, two possible ways to include absorption are: (i) an approximate method in which absorption is described by a phenomenological constant, μ, i.e. fi; - μfr, with the real part of the atomic form factor, fr, obtained from Hartree-Fock calculations, (ii) a more accurate method in which the absorptive components, fi of the atomic form factor are explicitly calculated. In this contribution, the inclusion of both the Debye-Waller factor and absorption on HRTEM images of a (Oll)-oriented GaAs crystal are presented (using the EMS software.Fig. 1 shows the the amplitudes and phases of the dominant 111 beams as a function of the specimen thickness, t, for the cases when μ = 0 (i.e. no absorption, solid line) and μ = 0.1 (with absorption, dashed line).

SummaryTemperature represents a very important variable in ADP-induced platelet aggregation.When low doses of ADP ( < 1 (μM) are used to induce platelet aggregation, the length of the incubation period of PRP in the cuvette holder of the aggregometer, thermostatted at 37° C, is very critical. Samples of the same PRP previously kept at room temperature, were incubated for increasing periods of time in the cuvette of the aggregometer before adding ADP, and a significant decrease of aggregation, proportional to the length of incubation, was observed. Stirring of the PRP during the incubation period made these changes more evident.To measure the exact temperature of the PRP during incubation in the aggre- gometer, a thermocouple device was used. While the temperature of the cuvette holder was stable at 37° C, the PRP temperature itself increased exponentially, taking about ten minutes from the beginning of the incubation to reach the value of 37° C. The above results have a practical significance in the reproducibility of the platelet aggregation test in vitro and acquire particular value when the effect of inhibitors of ADP induced platelet aggregation is studied.Experiments carried out with three anti-aggregating agents (acetyl salicyclic acid, dipyridamole and metergoline) have shown that the incubation conditions which influence both the effect of the drugs on platelets and the ADP breakdown in plasma must be strictly controlled.
