Fill yourself in on reagents... Every one of the reagents here is new. Recently synthesized in our laboratories, one or more oi them could be the reagent you've been looking for.
F o r d e t e r m i n a t i o n of s e r u m a l b u m i n . ο - [ (p -Hydroxyphenyl) azo ] benzoic Acid ( E A S T M A N 10614) (also known as H A B A ) H A B A dye binds with serum albumin in phosphate buffer at pH 6.2 to 6.4 to form a colored complex with absorbance at 485nm. The reaction follows Beer's law over a wide range of concentrations. [Clin. Chim. Acta, 12,532 (1965) ] .
F o r p h o s p h o r y l a t i o n . 2-Cyanoethyl Phosphate Di(cyclohexylamine Salt) ( E A S T M A N 10964)
Monophosphate esters of nucleotides are readily prepared by using 2-cyanoethyl phosphate di(cyclohexyl-amine sal t ) . For example, thymidine-3'-phosphate is prepared from 5'-0-tritylthymidine by condensation, followed by acid hydrolysis, then mild alkaline hydrolysis. [J.A.C.S., 83, 159 (1961) ] . Similarly, steroid 21-phosphate esters are synthesized by using 2-cyanoethyl phosphate. [J.A.C.S., 85, 1118 (1963) ] .
F o r r e d u c t i o n of po lycyc l ic q u i n o n e s . Aluminum Cyclohexoxide (1M in Cyclohexanol) ( E A S T M A N A10941) Polycyclic quinones are converted to hydrocarbons under reflux with aluminum cyclohexoxide; pentacene-6,13-quinone yields pure pentacene. The starting qui-none is readily prepared from phthalaldehyde and 1,4-cyclohexanedione. [Tetrahedron Letters, N o . 1, 5 ( I 9 6 0 ) ] .
F o r r e d u c t i o n , d e b r o m i n a t i o n , a n d s y n t h e s i s of c y c l o p r o p a n e s . Zinc-Copper Couple ( E A S T M A N 11122) Phthalide is prepared from phthalimide in 70% yield by using zinc-copper couple in aqueous alkali, followed by acidification and crystallization. [Org. Syn., Coll. Vol. 2, 526 (1943) ] . 1,4-Dibromo-l-phenylpropane is debrominated with a mixture of zinc-copper couple and dimethylformamide to yield cyclopropylbenzene. [Org. Syn., 44, 30 (1964) ] . A number of cyclopropanes are prepared by the Simmons-Smith reaction of olefins and methylene iodide with zinc-copper couple. [/. Org. Chem., 24, 1825 (1959) and / . Am. Chem. Soc, 80, 5323 (1958) ] .
