Radioiodination techniques for small organic molecules

“…Studies on the iodination of phenol and substituted phenols with unlabeled IC1 indicate that the mechanism is substantially the same indicated above for molecular iodine: electrophilic attack on the phenoxide ion followed by slow loss of a proton. 40 The electrophilic species has been suggested to be H2OI+ at low pH and IC1 at higher pH. 40 Another study proposed HOI as the electrophile.41 The use of IC1 for protein radiolabeling has been reviewed recently.…”

Structure−Reactivity Correlation of Anilines in Acetic Acid

“…The oxidations by hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by methylrhenium trioxide (methanol, F ) -1.2), 13 peracetic acid (ethanol, F ) -1.9), 14 iodosobenzene (chloroform, F ) -1.6; manganese(III)salen complex-catalyzed, methylene chloride, F + ) -0.8), 15 lead-(IV) acetate (chloroform-acetic anhydride, F ) -2.4), 16 and pyridinium chlorochromate (chlorobenzene-nitrobenzene, 10 3 [Cl 2 CHCOOH] ) 3 ( 0.5 mol dm -3 , F -) -3.8) 17 were in nonaqueous media. Similar studies in acid medium include chloramine-T (aqueous acetic acid, 10 2 -[HClO 4 ] ) 0.62-5.0 mol dm -3 ), 18 N-chlorosuccinimide (acetic acid, F ) -1.5), 19 bromate ion (aqueous acetic acid, F ) 1.7), 20 iodate catalyzed by ruthenium(III) (aqueous acetic acid, 10 2 [HClO 4 ] ) 1.0 mol dm -3 , F ) -2.8), 21 periodate (aqueous acetic acid, F + ) -2.3), 22 peroxodisulfate (aqueous acetic acid, F ) 1.9), 23 thallium(III) (aqueous acetic acid, [HClO 4 ] ) 1.0 mol dm -3 , F ) -3.0), 24 thallium(III) catalyzed by ruthenium(III) (aqueous acetic acid, [HClO 4 ] ) 1.0 mol dm -3 , F ) -0.8), 24 and iron(III)bipyridyl (aqueous methanol, 10 2 [HClO 4 ] ) 1.2 mol dm -3 , F + ) -3.1). 25 But the present study reveals that the hitherto followed method of correlation of the reaction rates in acidic solution is erroneous and presents a modified approach.…”

Nutritional and Health Consequences of Seasonal Fluctuations in Household Food Availability

“…Although most of the studies focus on diet and income, data on morbidity dearly demonstrate the difficult conditions under which the poor live. In a rural area of Pondicherry in Tamil Nadu, Prasada and Gupta, as well as Rao et al, determined the four most common causes of morbidity in young children, giving the percentages of children with each malady as follows: upper respiratory infection (32 per cent); gastroenteritis (16 per cent); scabies (16 per cent); and ascariasis (11 percent) [18,19].…”
