In an attempt to identify polysaccharide components in thin sections of D. maydis, procedures were employed such that a PAS localization could be carried out. Three different fixatives were evaluated ie. glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde. These were used in conjunction with periodic acid (PA), thiosemicarbazide(TSC), and osmium tetroxide(Os) to localize polysaccharides in V. maydis using a pre-embedded reaction procedure. Polysaccharide localization is based on the oxidation of vic-glycol groups by PA, and the binding of TSC as a selective reaction center for the formation of osmium black. The reaction product is sufficiently electron opaque, insoluble in lipids, not altered when tissue is embedded, and has a fine amorphous character.

Facet-selective gold or platinum-nanoparticle deposition on decahedral-shaped anatase titania particles (DAPs) exposing {001} and {101} facets via photodeposition (PD) from metal-complex sources was reexamined using DAPs prepared with gas-phase reaction of titanium (IV) chloride and oxygen by quantitatively evaluating the area deposition density on {001} and {101} and comparing with the results of deposition from colloidal metal particles in the dark (CDD) or under photoirradiation (CDL). The observed facet selectivity, more or less {101} preferable, depended mainly on pH of the reaction suspensions and was almost non-selective at low pH regardless of the deposition method, PD or CDL, and the metal-source materials. Based on the results, the present authors propose that facet selectivity is attributable to surface charges (zeta potential) depending on the kind of facets, {001} and {101}, and pH of the reaction mixture and that this concept can explain the observed facet selectivity and possibly the reported facet selectivity without taking into account facet-selective reaction of photoexcited electrons and positive holes on {101} and {001} facets, respectively.

A simple and efficient solid-phase extraction – spectrofluorimetric method has been developed to determine glutathione (GSH). Fluorescent probe N-(4,4-difluoro-5,7-dimethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene-3-yl)methyl)iodoacetamide (BODIPY Fl-C1-IA) was used as the derivatization reagent. The procedure was based on a BODIPY Fl-C1-IA selective reaction with GSH to form the highly fluorescent product BODIPY Fl-C1-IA–GSH, using a solid-phase extraction column and spectrofluorimetric determination. The variables affecting analytical performance were studied and optimized. The calibration graph using the preconcentration system for GSH was linear over the range of 1–200 nmol/L with a limit of detection of 0.05 nmol/L (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). The relative standard deviation for six replicate determinations of GSH at the 100 nmol/L concentration level was 3.9%. The method was applied to water samples and average recoveries between 87.5% and 111.5% were obtained for spiked samples.

Enantiotopic group selectivity can result from the competition between substrate and reagent double stereodifferentiation. We have examined this approach for enantioselective hydrocyanation of racemic α-alkoxy aldehydes (e.g., 2-(phenylmethoxy)heptanal (1)). Reaction of 1 with TMSCN mediated by chiral nonracemic alkoxy Ti(IV) reagents under conditions known to be reasonably enantioface selective in reactions with achiral aldehydes, proceeded with very low enantiotopic group selectivity (<2:1). It was established that TMSCN can react with Ti(IV) reagents to produce "TiCN" adducts that are capable of hydrocyanation but with low substrate-controlled diastereoselectivity in reactions with 1. The poor enantiotopic group selectivity observed can be rationalized to result from this low diastereoselectivity despite the respectable levels of enantioface selectivity associated with these reagents in hydrocyanation of achiral aldehydes. Highly diastereoselective hydrocyanation of α-alkoxy aldehydes can be achieved with TMSCN in the presence of excess MgBr2·OEt2. High diastereoselectivity was also observed using achiral and chiral TiCN adducts in place of TMSCN. Although the putative TiCN adducts obtained from nonracemic alkoxy Ti(IV) reagents are implicated in enantioface selective hydrocyanation, these reagents were not enantiotopic group selective under these conditions and showed no evidence of double stereodifferentiation. The use of nonracemic bisoxazoline ligands for Mg(II) was also ineffective.Key words: cyanohydrin, 2-alkoxyalkanal, double stereodifferentiation, enantiotopic group selective reaction, kinetic resolution.
