Abstract:
The first hydride-Meisenheimer adduct of 3-nitronaphthalimide was used for the colorimetric borohydride assay. To explain the regioselectivity of the adduct, the reaction enthalpies of the two most plausible Meisenheimer adducts were obtained via computational calculation. Using the adduct formation, the assay of borohydride reagents was successfully conducted.

Lewis Acid-Base Interaction in Ph3P-BH3
One of the goals of chemistry is to use models that account for trends and provide insights into the properties of reactants that contribute to reactivity. Substances have been classified as acids and bases since the time of the ancient Greeks, but the definition of acids and bases has been modified and expanded over the years.1
The ancient Greeks would characterize substances by taste, and defined acids as those...
Removal of Branched and Cyclic Compounds by Urea Adduction for Uk'37 Paleothermometry
As mentioned in previous videos, the product of an organic solvent extraction, a total lipid extract (TLE), is often a complex mixture of hundreds, if not thousands, of different compounds. The researcher is often only interested in a handful of compounds. In the case of our two organic paleothermometers (Uk'37 and MBT/CBT), the interest is in only 6 compounds (2 alkenones and 4 isoprenoidal glycerol dialkyl glycerol...
