oxidations

Her research involved, successively, identification and syntheses of a number of metabolites of carcinogenic and related polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); simulation in vitro of biological oxidations of PAHs; isolation of carcinogens from shale oil and coal tar; and, from the 1960s, studies on the carcinogenic action of certain pyrrolizidine (Senecio) alkaloids and their ability to induce chronic lesions and tumors in the liver, pancreas, etc., and of diazomethane and certain nitroso compounds.

Upon burning in the atmosphere, all kinds of unknown oxidations of metals and other chemicals are released into our atmosphere, the heavier ones falling to dust upon us, into our lungs, rivers, oceans, crops etc.

Subsequent distribution of oxygen in the water of thermally stratified lakes is controlled by a number of solubility conditions, hydrodynamics, inputs from photosynthesis, and losses to chemical and metabolic oxidations (processes with compounds that gain oxygen).

This initial oxidation triggers a cascade of further oxidations and other reactions that end up breaking the original large fat molecules into small, strong-smelling fragments.

Sharpless realised that there was a great need for catalysts for asymmetric oxidations.

Alongside the advances in chirally catalysed hydrogenation reactions, Barry Sharpless has developed corresponding chiral catalysts for other important reactions, oxidations.

Barry Sharpless has developed chiral catalysts for another important type of reactions - oxidations.

The Laureates have developed chiral catalysts for two important classes of reactions in organic chemistry: hydrogenations and oxidations.

He was clad entirely in animal pelts soiled by the ebony residue from oxidations of carboniferous fuels which had accumulated on the walls thereof.
