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. For determination of serum albumin. ο - [ (p -Hydroxyphenyl) azo ] benzoic Acid (EASTMAN 10614) (also known as HABA) HABA 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)]. For phosphorylation. 2-Cyanoethyl Phosphate Di(cyclohexylamine Salt) (EASTMAN 10964) Monophosphate esters of nucleotides are readily pre- pared by using 2-cyanoethyl phosphate di(cyclohexyl- amine salt). For example, thymidine-3'-phosphate is prepared from 5'-0-tritylthymidine by condensation, followed by acid hydrolysis, then mild alkaline hy- drolysis. [J.A.C.S., 83, 159 (1961)]. Similarly, steroid 21-phosphate esters are synthesized by using 2-cyano- ethyl phosphate. [J.A.C.S., 85, 1118 (1963)]. For reduction of polycyclic quinones. Aluminum Cyclohexoxide (1M in Cyclohexanol) (EASTMAN A10941) Polycyclic quinones are converted to hydrocarbons un- der 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 (I960)]. For reduction, debromination, and synthesis of cyclopropanes. Zinc-Copper Couple (EASTMAN 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)]. We also offer some new reagents with only a few com- ments. For synthesis of difluorocarbene : Lithium Trifluorace- tate (EASTMAN 10953). For preparing t-BOC-amino acids: tert-Butyl 2,4,5- Trichlorophenyl Carbonate (EASTMAN 10914). For N-blocking of amino acids: Benzyl p-Nitrophenyl Carbonate (EASTMAN 10942). For cleaving N-protective phthaloyl groups in protein synthesis: Hydrazine Acetate (EASTMAN 11019).
