Abstract A one-step procedure was developed to confirm viral targets by using a fluorometric 96-well microplate scanner following polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The fluorogenic PCR, integrated with fluorometric scanning, measured the end point fluorescence of viral PCR amplicon/probe hybrids and permitted the use of nonfluorogenic PCR conditions with addition of a Cy3 fluorophore-labeled linear probe for viruses. This linear probe generated higher ratios of viral signal-to-noise than a comparative beacon probe. Detection efficiency with a Cy3/quencher linear probe was comparable with Southern analysis at the level ≥0.27 plaque-forming units (PFU) of poliovirus/PCR. For the reaction containing &lt;0.27 PFU, the fluorometric measurements of the first-round PCR viral amplicon were not as sensitive as Southern analysis; however, equivalent sensitivities were achieved with fluorogenic nested PCR. Concentrates of 11 oyster samples exposed to municipal sewage were tested for enteroviruses; the fluorogenic detection correlated 100% with Southern analysis. This method using fluorometric scanning of viral amplicon is simple; it requires neither continuously monitoring equipment nor redesigning PCR primers; and it accurately detects enteroviruses in oyster sample concentrates in less time than classic spectrophotometry or Southern analysis.

Alkylation of p-quinones with allylic and benzylic esters is achieved by using a strong Lewis acid as the catalyst. This transformation likely follows an unusual redox chain mechanism. In this mechanism, quinone undergoes a sequence of reactions: it is reduced to ­hydroquinone (HQ), functionalized in a Lewis acid-catalyzed Friedel–Crafts alkylation, and then oxidized back to quinone. The last step is concurrent with the first step of a second quinone molecule, which is reduced to new HQ and functionalized, and thus propagates the redox chain reaction. The autoinitiation mechanism of the redox chain is not well understood, but additive HQ or Hantzsch ester can serve as effective initiators. The likelihood of this mechanism was elaborated by ­kinetic studies and various control experiments.1 Introduction2 Discovery of Catalytic Alkylation Reactions of Quinones3 Proposed Redox Chain Reaction Mechanism and Experimental Evidence4 Substrate Scope5 Conclusion
