Reductive Cleavage Of N-Substituted Benzenesulfonamides And P-Sulfamylbenzoic Acid, Robert E. Davenport

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The objective of the present work was to study further the effect of varying substituents on the nitrogen atom and on the ring of sulfonamides in the Birch reduction of aromatic sulfonamides, especially with respect to the amount of thiol formed, in the hope that information concerning the initial cleavage step might be discerned.

3,3-Diphenyl-2-Morpholinone Derivatives Of 2-Amino-2-Deoxy-D-Allose., Ram Babu

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

A new cyclic protective group has been fused to the cis amino alcohol group of benzyl 2-amino-3,5-o-benzylidene-2-deoxyβ-D-Allopyranoside, by way of a unique rearrangements mechanism. To establish the 2-morpholinone structure, chemical studies, such as reduction and acetylation were conducted.

Comparative spectroscopic studies using ir, pmr, and C-13 nmr confirmed the assigned structures.

The 2-morpholinone ring was cleaved by mild alkaline hydrolysis and could be closed again with acetic anhydride in pyridine. An oxazolidinone derivation of benzyl 2-amino-4,6-o-benzylidene-2-deoxyβ-D-allopyranoside was prepared in a quantitative yield by a modification of a known method.

Protective group properties of the oxazolidinone were studied prior to the …

Studies On The Characterization And Activiation By Soluble Factor Of A Sodium-Activated, Magnesium-Dependent, Adenosinetriphosphatase In Rat Cerebral Cortex, Alan B. Forrest

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This study presented evidence for the existence of a membrane-bound, sodium-activated ATPase which does not require potassium ions for its activity. Furthermore, the data suggest the presence of a soluble factor which activates this enzyme and may play a regulatory role in sodium transport.
