Effectiveness of universal pre-enrichment broth for recovery of Salmonella from selected dairy foods

The relative efficiencies of 2 Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) pre-enrichments, lactose broth (LAC) and brilliant green water (BGW), were compared with Universal Pre-enrichment (UP) broth for the recovery of individual Salmonella serovars from instant nonfat dry milk (NFDM), dry whole milk (DWM), lactic casein (LC), and liquid whole milk (LWM). BGW was compared with UP broth for the analysis of NFDM and DWM but not with the other 2 matrixes. LAC was compared with UP broth for the analysis of LC and LWM. UP broth was made both from a commercial dehydrated preparation (UPC) and from individual ingredients (UPI). Bulk quantities of the selected dairy foods were inoculated with Salmonella serovars at levels intended to produce fractionally positive results, where at least half of the test portions analyzed, with one of the methods being evaluated, would be shown to be Salmonella-positive. For NFDM, in 6 of 9 experiments, with 2 different Salmonella serovars, BGW was significantly more productive than either UPI or UPC broth (p < 0.05). Salmonella was recovered from 118 of 180 test portions with BGW, from 25 of 180 test portions with UPC, and from 14 of 180 test portions with UPI. For DWM, in 2 of 4 experiments, with 2 different Salmonella serovars, BGW was significantly more productive than either UPI or UPC broth (p < 0.05). Salmonella was recovered from 67 of 80 test portions with BGW, from 36 of 80 test portions with UPC, and from 37 of 80 test portions with UPI. For LWM, in 9 of 9 experiments, with 3 different Salmonella serovars, there were no significant differences among the broths. Salmonella was recovered from 120 of 180 test portions with LAC, from 135 of 180 test portions with UPC, and from 129 of 180 test portions with UPI. For LC, in 5 of 7 experiments, with 2 different Salmonella serovars, both UPI and UPC broth were significantly more productive than LAC (p < 0.05). Salmonella was recovered from 42 of 140 test portions with LAC, from 114 of 140 test portions with UPC, and from 114 of 140 test portions with UPI. In addition, overall results showed that UPC and UPI broths were equivalent for the recovery of Salmonella from the foods tested, without regard to their performance in comparison with either LAC or BGW.     

Photoaddition of ketones to imidazoles,thiazoles, isothiazoles and isoxazoles. Synthesis of their oxetanes

Imidazole itself did not undergo photoaddition reactions with ketones. However, irradiation of 1-acetyl and 1-benzoylimidazole, and 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole with benzophenone yielded oxetanes. On irradiation with carbonyl compounds, 1,2-dimethylimidazole and 1-benzylimidazole did not give oxetanes but a hydroxyaryl or hydroxyalkyl derivative. Thiazole itself did not yield any photoaddition product, but 2,4-dimethylthiazole afforded oxetanes on irradiation with benzophenone and with 3-benzoylpyridine. Irradiation of 2,4-dimethylthiazole with acetophenone led to the formation of a dimeric material. On irradiation with benzophenone, 4-methylisothiazole did not yield an oxetane but rather a hydroxyphenyl derivative. 3,5-Dimethylisoxazole on irradiation with benzophenone and with 3-benzoylpyridine gave oxetanes. Irradiation of 4,5-dimethylisoxazole yielded similarly an oxetane with benzophenone

Addition reactions of thiazol-5(4H)-ones—III : Cycloaddition reactions of mesoionic thiazol-5-ones

In contrast with the behaviour of mesoionic oxazol-5-ones, corresponding thiazol-5-ones give stable cycloadducts with electron-deficient alkenes. However, the thiazolones undergo cycloaddition-extrusion reactions with alkynes and with heterocumulenes, in many cases giving products identical with those from corresponding oxazolones. Examples of the influence of thiazolone substituents on the course of these cycloaddition reactions are provided by comparison of results of reactions of differently-substituted mesoionic thiazol-5-ones with phenyl isocyanate, phenyl isothiocyanate, or dimethyl furmarate.     

Electrochemical Characterization of the Interaction of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes with Doxorubicin

It has been suggested that multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) interacting with pharmaceutics may be introduced into the body as nanocarriers. To deliver the anticancer drugs, covalent or noncovalent functionalization of MWCNTs is required. In this study, the influence of oxidation on MWCNTs in the interaction with chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin, was characterized. The binding of doxorubicin with MWCNTs decreased rapidly with the increasing oxidation period with sulfuric acid. However, with nitric acid, the interaction increased initially and slowly decreased with time. The best results were obtained for sulfuric and nitric acid following 1 and 3?h of oxidation, respectively. The results show that sulfuric acid provided more favorable interaction for MWCNTs with doxorubicin than nitric acid.     

Aryl- and alkenyllithium preparations and copper-catalyzed reaction between the derived magnesium reagents and the monoacetate of 4-cyclopentene-1,3-diol

[reaction: see text] Aryl- and alkenyllithiums, prepared by halogen-lithium exchange with lithium, exchange with n-(or t-)BuLi, stannane-lithium exchange with n-BuLi, and direct lithiation with n-BuLi, were transformed into magnesium reagents with MgCl2 and subjected to CuCN-catalyzed reaction with the title monoacetate. Except for the halogen-lithium exchange with n-BuLi, the other preparations of the lithium anions were found to be compatible with the CuCN-catalyzed reaction to afford S(N)2-type products efficiently.

Zur reaktionvon cyclotri- und cyclotri- und cyclotetrasilazanen mit silylfluoriden

Fluorosilyl substituted cyclosilazanes are formed by treating lithium salts of hexamethylcyclotri- and octa-methylcyclotetrasilazanes with silicon tetrafluoride and organo-substituted silicon fluorides. Disubstituted compounds are obtained by the reaction of dilithium hexamethylcyclotrisilazane with silicon fluorides or by the reaction of lithium hexamethylcyclotrisilazane with silicon fluorides at higher temperature. Cyclosilazanes with bulky ligands react with butyllithium with elimination of butane as a first step and then react further with a silicon fluoride compound, with LiF-elimination, to give a mixed substituted cyclosilazane. Ring coupling through a silicon bridge is achieved by the reaction of a fluorosilyl-substituted cyclotrisilazane with lithium hexamethylcyclotrisilazane. The mass,¹H and¹⁹F NMR spectra of the compounds are reported.

In part A, a brief overview of various conjugated polymer materials is presented, with their classification in accordance with the conductivity mechanism (ionic, electronic or mixed conductors) or with the structural type (linear-chain organic or mixed polymers, derivatization, metallopolymers, multi-dimensional structures, alternating and block copolymers with organic or mixed units, hybrid materials with a mixture of conjugated and inert polymers, polymers inside a solid matrix, conjugated polymers with incorporated nanoelements of transition metals, carbon, semiconductors etc.     

Palladium-catalyzed intermolecular alpha-arylation of zinc amide enolates under mild conditions

The intermolecular alpha-arylation and vinylation of amides by palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl bromides and vinyl bromides with zinc enolates of amides is reported. Reactions of three different types of zinc enolates have been developed. The reactions of aryl halides occur in high yields with isolated Reformatsky reagents generated from alpha-bromo amides, with Reformatsky reagents generated in situ from alpha-bromo amides, and with zinc enolates generated by quenching lithium enolates of amides with zinc chloride. This use of zinc enolates, instead of alkali metal enolates, greatly expands the scope of amide arylation. The reactions occur at room temperature or 70 degrees C with bromoarenes containing cyano, nitro, ester, keto, fluoro, hydroxyl, or amino functionality and with bromopyridines. Moreover, the reaction has been developed with morpholine amides, the products of which are precursors to ketones and aldehydes. The arylation of zinc enolates of amides was conducted with catalysts bearing the hindered pentaphenylferrocenyl di-tert-butylphosphine (Q-phos) or the highly reactive, dimeric, Pd(I) complex [[P(t-Bu)3]PdBr]2.     

Chemistry of N-Boc-N-tert-butylthiomethyl-protected alpha-aminoorganostannanes: diastereoselective synthesis of primary beta-amino alcohols from alpha-aminoorganostannanes

Reaction of N-Boc-N-tert-butylthiomethyl-protected alpha-aminoorganostannanes with n-BuLi generates the corresponding alpha-aminoorganolithiums. Reactions of these organolithiums with aromatic aldehydes provides N-protected beta-amino alcohols with diastereoselectivities up to >99:1 anti/syn; with aliphatic aldehydes, diastereoselectivities were typically 1:1. Diastereoselectivities varied depending on the amount of aldehyde used. The N-protected beta-amino alcohols could be deprotected to primary amines by treatment with NaH to generate oxazolidinones followed by basic hydrolysis. Alternatively, treatment of the protected amino alcohols with acid furnished cyclic acetals that could be deprotected to primary amines with BF(3).OEt(2) and HS(CH(2))(3)SH. Transmetalation of enantiomerically enriched organostannanes with n-BuLi at -95 degrees C provided organolithiums that, although less configurationally stable than N-Boc-N-methyl-protected alpha-aminoorganolithiums, could be trapped with aldehydes with near-complete retention of configuration.     

Cinnamate ester containing liquid crystalline side chain polymers

The synthesis of methacrylate esters of 4-cyanophenyl-(4-(ω-hydroxyalkyloxy)) cinnamates, with spacer lengths of 2 and 6 methylene units and the synthesis of the corresponding acrylate ester with a spacer of 2 methylene units are described. The methacrylate monomers were polymerized by free radical polymerization, both as homopolymers and as copolymers with the analogous benzoate monomer of spacer length 6. The acrylate ester could not be polymerized successfully under the same reaction conditions. Polymers were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermo-optic observations. Of the monomers prepared, only the cinnamate with a hexamethylene spacer shows a mesophase, seen on supercooling of the melt. All of the polymers prepared were liquid crystalline, with smectic behavior predominating in the polymethacrylates with the longer spacer group. A narrow nematic region is seen just below the clearing temperature with a range of 3–9°C, nematic character is increased in the copolymer series with the degree of incorporation of the cinnamate monomer with the spacer group of length 2.
