Speaking as someone who works in the hotel industry, I'd say the housekeeping inspector needs to do a better job.
the chair are not relaxing at all and the smell of the sheets are less then inviting.
the rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the hotel felt safe
The breakfast left a lot to be desired. We knew it was a continental breakfast but the oatmeal was cold and lumpy, and was the only hot dish offered. Also there didn't seem to be anyone around to ask for assistance
Loved the 24 hr check in
The cleanliness was a shock... a good shock. The bed was super comfortable. Staff were very polite, and the food at red lantern and the margaritas were worth it.
The noise in the next room, you can hear pretty good through the door thats connected but closed and locked. And also it would have been awesome to Heat up leftover food with a microwave but theres none in the rooms.
The location was great. the value was great. the staff was nice. Room was very clean.
The pillows were was overstuffed and I had trouble sleeping on them. I wish I had said something to see if they had a normal pillow. My bad.
Great location, the rooms were very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Loved the location, walking distance to many attractions. Great options for restaurants both in the hotel and near by. Loved the Thai food at Bahn Thai. The hotel staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Great Hotel!!
The hotel was well located in Fairbanks, being near Ft. Wainwright and the Steese Highway.
The room was comfortable and clean. The employees were very pleasant. The breakfast buffet was good,especially the eggs benedict. Plenty of parking, and in downtown Fairbanks that's saying something.
we arrived one day early and the front staff were excellent in accommodating use, even though it was my mistake on the date of arrival
no shopping facilities with in a walking distance
Water Falls
Breakfast buffet was excellent.
I likes the efficient and polite service of the receptionists. The room was clean, the bathroom was immaculate, and the shower water actually got hot, which I've noticed it most hotels it doesn't.
The drain in the tub was slow, so while showering I was standing in an inch or two of water. Also, anytime a toilet flushed somewhere else, the toilet in our room made a gurgling bubble up noise.
Freindly Staff, Clean, convenient location, Lots of parking, great lobby, coffee shop and gift shop, secure at night, great restaurant
We got a suite, It was great but it was a little smaller than I was expecting. No pool or hot tub.
Nice big queen beds, firm Roomy room
No small refrigerator The loud flush toilet noise
We stayed in several locations as we traveled the State of Alaska. Making our reservations in advance for most layovers. The Westmark was by far the best in every category. The rooms were clean and well supplied with everything we needed. The staff was excellent, answering every question and happy to make suggestions. We were so impressed with our accommodations that on our return from the Arctic Circle, we stopped in to see if they had rooms available for another night. This is a very busy Hotel as they run many tours from this facility. The staff runs like a well oiled machine. Even with the lobby full of people getting ready for bus tours, they were able to take care of other guest like ourselves without delay. Very well done Westmark!
Very clean, modern.
No microwave, no fridge. Seems like a place for business travelers, not vacationers. But still good compared to other options.
Traffic noise
Very clean! Great staff!
Room was in older part of hotel and noisey.
Breakfast at northern latitudes
Shower head was not functioning like it should. When we called before going, we were told there was a microwave. No microwave and with kids a small refrigerator would have been nice too. Bit expensive for not having either available.
My room was wonderful; comfortable, and the placement with trees by my window was an added refreshing bonus. Also the staff: helpful, friendly, and pleasant.
First impression was deceiving. I initially felt that hotel lobby in need of update: couches/leather were worn. Also no coffee :(
we were on a Princess Tour, would have liked to stay near the river
we had to walk a long distance to find a reasonably priced breakfast or any food.
No room service only from 10 am to 11 pm, no free continental breakfast it was 10.99. I reserved a 2 queen executive suite. got to my room it was a king bed called down to front desk and they moved me to 804, so took all my stuff to room 804 all the way across the other end, then went down to get my key, they weren't sure if it was a 2 queen executive suite. finally I got my room half hour later few rooms down from the first room I went into. I dont like the fact they dont have bell men, as a former concierge and bell men this frustrated me.

Evolving regulatory compliance requirements can be a major headache for the IT teams responsible for identity and access management (IAM). Sarbanes Oxley, the wide range of privacy regulations and other federal requirements, have transformed IAM from a problem that keeps the chief information security officer up at night into a true business concern shared by all company executives. Knowing who has access to what information within your organization - and whether they should have that access - is a deceptively complex issue that has the potential to drive a wedge between even the healthiest of relationships across the business.
On the surface, it may seem as though the nuts and bolts of IAM should reside in a company's IT department. This is because there are many islands of information stored in databases across the business that are managed and administered by the IT team. In addition, employee access to particular areas of the network is usually enabled and revoked by IT.
The problem is that these functions are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to effectively managing your identity governance program.
IAM Is Driven by Business Requirements
It has long been recognized that identity and access management must be process-driven if it is to gain any longer-term traction within an organization. In fact, Gartner highlighted the importance of process in a 2005 research report, stating that "Identity and access management is not only a set of technologies but also a set of processes that address fundamental issues about handling the strategic asset of identity in any enterprise. Establishing a long-term solution for managing identity requires understanding these basic processes."
Why is the process so important?
Any change to the identity of an employee is triggered by the business. The identity attributes of an employee are created when they are hired (onboarding), changed when they are promoted or assigned new responsibilities (change in responsibility), and must be restricted when they leave the organization (offboarding).
A strong partnership between IT and the company's business divisions is essential to ensure that:
- There is a process to capture all of the changes that happen to the identity of an employee during their life cycle within an organization.
- The business has established and approved the policies under which employee access will be granted or denied.
- Changes are processed within the identified framework (i.e., no one is given access "through the backdoor").
By involving business owners early in the development of your IAM program - including human resources as it traditionally "owns" the bulk of employee attributes, like name, address, social security number and banking information - companies will improve the chances of executing their IAM goals on time and on budget.
Create a Culture of Continuous Compliance
Traditional approaches to identity and access governance take a reactive approach to meeting compliance requirements. If the sole measure of success is the ability to generate an attestation report, the company will always be in "firefighting" mode. It is far better to prevent access violations from happening than trying to chase them down once they occur. At that point, the security breach has already taken place, inappropriate access has already been granted and the damage has been done.
The goal of an effective identity governance initiative should be to ensure that employees are only given the access that is assigned to them under a clearly defined set of rules in accordance with company policy. On the other hand, requests for access that would violate a policy (e.g., separation of duties) should be denied and the appropriate manager should be alerted that a request has been made that would violate company policy. By working with business divisions to set these proactive policy parameters up front, the company is able to create a true culture of continuous compliance.
Your IAM Program Should Deliver More than Compliance
Compliance is a necessary evil. However, if handled correctly, compliance can also create the opportunity for meaningful efficiency improvements and cost reductions throughout an organization.
By managing the identity of your employees centrally and establishing proper business processes to manage identities, companies are able to:
- Shorten new employee onboarding time to less than a day: It is important to capture the primary attributes needed to create an employee identity during the onboarding process and feed this information to all related systems (e.g., payroll, HR, Active Directory, SAP). This approach gives employees the access and assets they need to be productive on their first day with the company.
- Eliminate repetitive manual data entry: A large Canadian retailer recently identified more than 90 attributes that make up the identity of their employees. More important, it also realized that these attributes were being manually re-entered up to ten times for different purposes across the company. Once it began managing their identity administration centrally, the retailer was able to capture data with no re-entry, thereby eliminating hundreds of redundant entries per employee.
- Lower administrative costs: Improving time to productivity, streamlining administrative functions, and simplifying audits will result in millions of dollars saved, depending on the size of the organization.
Learn from Past Failures
Many organizations have been down the IAM solution path before with varying degrees of success. The problem-solving responsibility has traditionally been handed off to - you guessed it - the IT department, which typically attempts to solve the issue via technological solutions. As discussed earlier, the challenge is that the IT department is trying to solve the issue when it doesn't own the information or the process. Attempting an IT-only fix, centered around third-party technology and buy-in from other departments, leads to annoyance at best and losses in time and capital at worse.
In spite of these challenges, there is hope for organizations looking for the Holy Grail of IAM. Below are some best practices organizations can employ to improve their internal IAM processes:
- Solicit business involvement early: IT cannot solve the problem alone. They're the custodians and the business is the end user. IT must engage with business and HR in lay language and find common denominators.
- Create an identity warehouse: Conduct a thorough cleaning of identity data housed by various internal systems so there is easy reconciliation and clear visibility into access granted to employees.
- Fix the controls: Implement procedures early in the business process (i.e., during onboarding), and make sure they are followed, to derive the most value from your identity and access management program.
- Process, process, process: IT spends a significant portion of its time and budget on the dreary work of managing identities. IT and the business divisions can realize measurable benefits from implementing processes that drive down wasted time and money.
- Go paperless: Going paperless with IAM liberates employees from the stacks of paper on their desks. An electronic IAM system can lighten the load across divisions by identifying holdups and speeding timelines.
- Prevention is the key: Get away from the "putting out the fires" mentality. True process control means that fires are prevented.
Approaching IAM in a process-oriented way allows organizations to deal with potential problems proactively. When implemented properly, these best practices can help streamline IAM processes across all organizational departments, resulting in shortened onboarding, reduced costs, increased efficiency and regulatory compliance. Those are goals the whole company can get behind.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

I am (in case you hadn't noticed) a congenital pessimist, albeit with a refined sense of humour. Optimists believe that things will always turn out for the best. Often they don't, which is why optimists are prone to sadness. We pessimists believe that things will usually go wrong. Often they don't, which is why pessimists are basically happy people.

Jewish communities across the globe have been commemorating the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the name given to the orgy of pogroms visited upon the Jews of Germany and Austria in early November 1938.
An Open Letter to "Mr" Tom Hickey, principal lecturer in international politics and philosophy at the University of Brighton
Dear Tom
I take the liberty of writing to you as a fellow academic, dedicated, as I am sure you are, to the sanctity of scholarly dialogue, to the dispassionate pursuit of truth, and to the acceptance of truth however unwelcome or distasteful we may find it.
The contents of a document are sometimes less important than the context in which it was written and the audience for which it was intended.
Searchlight will be known to some of you as a well-researched and professionally produced magazine specialising in exposés of racism, fascism and antisemitism.
At the end of September, a two-day conference was held in Tel Aviv's Eretz Israel Museum. Entitled, Realising the Return of Palestinian Refugees, the theme was the alleged "dispossession" suffered by Palestinian Arabs at the time of Israel's re-establishment, and the remedies that might even now be offered in atonement, as it were, for this supposed injustice.
Next year, I shall be giving some classes on the recent history of the Middle East — or, rather, on the history of the Jewish dimension to Middle Eastern politics since the early 19th century.
My audience will be a mixed bunch of UK, EU and international students, all of whom will (if past experience is anything to go by) come with a predetermined set of ideas about that history.
I'm not in the least surprised that the Department for Education is carrying out an investigation into the education of Orthodox Jewish boys in institutions not officially registered for this purpose. On the contrary, I'm surprised that it has taken the government so long to convince itself — or to be convinced — that this is a scandal demanding investigation.
I never cease to be amazed at the lengths to which some will go to excuse or belittle clear expressions of antisemitism articulated by public figures, present or past. The issue of G K Chesterton, to which Oliver Kamm brought our attention in the JC last month, is a case in point.
I believe that the unity of the Jewish people is fundamental to our survival. I believe that many, if not all, of the disasters that have overtaken us throughout history have been due, in part at least, to our disunity. I believe that Jewish self-hatred is wicked and that it is contrary to the Divine Will. These beliefs go to the core of my existence.
Next week, Marion and I will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. As wedding anniversaries go these days, this is no big deal.
I make no apology for drawing your attention once more to the small matter of the "Guidelines on the eligibility of Israeli entities and their activities in the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967 for grants, prizes and financial instruments funded by the EU from 2014 onwards."
I have just finished the final draft of my next book. With numerous appendices, voluminous footnotes and an index (which, unlike most authors, I am insisting on compiling myself), not to mention the introduction, it will run to around 200,000 words. It is a new history, British Jewry Since Emancipation, to be published by the University of Buckingham Press.
So tell me, just how important do you think you are? And – scarcely less significant but frightfully important nonetheless — just how important do you think you ought to be?
Believe me, if I thought for one moment that the so-called "Middle East Peace Process Talks" (the phrase is that of the US State Department) had a chance in a trillion in bringing genuine peace between Israel and its Arab neighbours I would back them to the hilt.
At the end of June, House Magazine carried an interview with the parliamentary under-secretary of state for foreign and commonwealth affairs, Alistair Burt. Burt has a daunting portfolio, for his responsibilities encompass no less than 27 countries stretching from North America through North Africa to the Middle East.
On June 25, Dr James Renton, a history lecturer, delivered a lecture at the School of Oriental and African Studies on the subject of the Balfour Declaration. Hosted by Jews for Justice for Palestinians, Renton addressed the question "Should Britain apologise for the Balfour Declaration?" He clearly believes the answer is in the affirmative.
Next year we shall commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. When Britain declared war on Germany scenes of jubilation were seen throughout the UK. But as the war dragged on, and as British casualty lists climbed to obscene levels, violent anti-German hysteria, cynically exploited by politicians, gripped the nation.
In case you hadn't noticed, it's election season in Israel. The candidates are setting forth their manifestos, and — naturally — throwing verbal vitriol at each other. Insults fly thick and fast. Two weeks ago, one of the candidates was actually physically attacked by certain of his opponents. "It's disgraceful (I hear you say) — but what can you expect of politicians?"

The Institute of Economic Affairs' Shadow Monetary Policy Committee (SMPC) decided by six votes to three that Bank Rate should be held at ½% on Thursday 6th December.
The SMPC poll was largely completed before the announcement that Mark Carney would be the next Governor of the Bank of England. To the extent that SMPC members expressed a view of the appointment, it was that this was an excellent choice that sent a clear signal about the openness of the UK to global talent. The contrast between the strong Canadian economy and the weak British one helps explain Mr Osborne's decision. However, Canada has been helped by a noticeably less-competitive and internationally-open banking system and a far stronger fiscal background than Britain experiences. There was some concern that the new Governor might prove an unduly hard-line financial regulator in a way that was not appropriate at the current depressed point in the cycle.
Two dissenters wanted to raise Bank Rate by ¼% immediately, while another desired an increase of ½%. Most SMPC members thought that there should be no additional Quantitative Easing (QE) for the time being. One reason was that Mr Osborne's 9th November decision to transfer £37bn of gil

Article: On the positional reactivity order in the sulfuric acid sulfonation of the two naphthalenesulfonic acids[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The sulfonation in 98.5% H2SO4 at 25.0 °C of naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid yields 58% 1,5-, 32% 1,6-, and 10% 1,7-disulfonic acids and that of the 2-sulfonic acid 4% 1,3-, 74% 1,6-, 18% 1,7-, and 4% 2,6- + 2,7-disulfonic acids. Further sulfonation of the latter disulfonic acid mixture in 105.2% H2SO4 at 25.0 °C yields 78% 1,3,6- and 12% 1,3,5- + 1,3,7-trisulfonic acids. Reaction of naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid with 105.2% H2SO4 at 25 °C yields 5-sulfonaphthalene-1-sulfonic anhydride.Partial rate factors for the sulfonation of naphthalene-1- and -2-sulfonate in highly concentrated aqueous sulfuric acid (where the sulfonating entity is H2S2O7) are reported. They are discussed in terms of the difference in the reactivity of the α- and β-positions of the naphthalene skeleton and the electronic and steric effects of the sulfonate substituent already present.Canadian Journal of Chemistry 02/2011; 61(7):1453-1455. · 0.96 Impact Factor
Article: Methylation of polymethylbenzenesulfonic acids by hexamethylbenzene and pentamethylbenzenesulfonic acid in concentrated sulfuric acid[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The methylation of a series of polymethylbenzenes (PoMB's) or their sulfonic acids by added hexamethylbenzene (HMB) and pentamethylbenzene-1-sulfonic acid (PeMB-1-S) as reagents in 95.5 and 98.4% H2SO4 as solvent has been studied under homogeneous conditions. HMB effects methylation of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1-sulfonic acid (2,4,6-TrMB-1-S), 2,3,4,6-tetramethylbenzene-1-sulfonic acid (2,3,4,6-TeMB-1-S), and 2,3,5,6-TeMB-1-S, but not of the sulfonic acids of 1,3-dimethylbenzene (1,3-DMB), 1,2,3-TrMB, 1,2,4-TrMB, and 1,2,3,4-TeMB. PeMB-1-S is less reactive as methylating reagent than HMB. The observed substrate reactivity towards methylation by HMB was observed to decrease in the order , and towards methylation by PeMB-1-S to decrease in the order . On the basis of a comparison of these orders of substrate reactivities with those predicted for the series of the PoMB-1-sulfonates and the corresponding PoMB's, it is concluded that the substrate species undergoing methylation are the PoMB's and not the corresponding sulfonates.Canadian Journal of Chemistry 02/2011; 66(1):162-167. · 0.96 Impact Factor
Article: Sulfur trioxide sulfonation of the five alkanonaphthalenes acenaphthene, perinaphthane, 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexahydropyrene, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrocyclohepta-acenaphthene, and 1,2,3,4,7,8,10-octahydrodicyclohepta[de,ij]naphthalene[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The mono- and di-sulfonation of the 1,8-alkano- and 1,8:4,5-dialkano-naphthalenes 1–5 with SO3 in dioxane and nitromethane as solvent have been studied and the results compared with those of 1,8-di- (6) and 1,4,5,8-tetramethylnaphthalene (7). The most reactive position of 1,8-ethano- (1), 1,8-propano-naphthalene (2), and 6 is the 4-position. Sulfonation adjacent to the 1,8-ethano bridge can be effected with SO3 in dioxane as reagent, whereas sulfonation ortho to the longer alkano bridges requires the more reactive reagent SO3 in nitromethane. Disulfonation of the1,8:4,5-dialkanonaphthalenes 3–5 leads to the predominant formation of the "noncrossed" (i.e. the 2,7-) disulfonic acid due to the substituent effect of the 2-sulfonic acid group. The isomer distribution data for the sulfonation of the arenes and their monosulfonic acids show that the steric hindrance increases in the order ethano propane ≤ butano and propane < peri dimethyl.Canadian Journal of Chemistry 02/2011; 63(8):2294-2297. · 0.96 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: This report describes the synthesis of β-hydroxy esters in good yields by reaction of α-aryl substituted ketones and phenylethanal with lithium methyl acetate and derivatives as anionoid reagents. The incomplete substrate conversion is ascribed to the enolate formation of the α-aryl carbonyl compounds, which concurrent reaction is negligibly small with aliphatic carbonyl compounds. The conversion of β-tetralone with lithium methyl acetate has been examined in some detail.Canadian Journal of Chemistry 02/2011; 62(11):2202-2205. · 0.96 Impact Factor
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study describes a method using 17O nmr to determine the intercarbonyl dihedral angle in a homologous series of seven 1,2-diketones. It is shown that the 17O nmr shifts of the 1,2-diketones are linearly dependent on both the electron density at the oxygen atoms and the n→π* excitation energy of the 1,2-diketo chromophore. Reduction of the overlap in the π system of the 1,2-diketo moiety leads to a gradual upfield shift of the 17O nmr signal, due to the increase in both the π-electron density at the oxygen atoms and the mean transition energy ΔE.Canadian Journal of Chemistry 02/2011; 65(9):2234-2237. · 0.96 Impact Factor
Article: Reactions of SO2X mono-substituted arenes with SO3 in nitromethane: electronic and steric directing effects of the sulfonic acid group and some model substituents[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The sulfonation of benzene-SO2X (X = CH3, OCH3, OH, and Cl) and of 1- and 2-naphthalene-SO2X (X = CH3, OCH3, and Cl) with sulfur trioxide in nitromethane as solvent has been studied. In the benzene series, substitution only occurs at the 3-position irrespective of X; the reaction rates, which are all within the same order of magnitude, are low. Upon sulfonation of the 1-SO2X-substituted naphthalenes, the main sulfonation product (58–80%) is the 5-sulfonic acid (5-S); in addition, 6-S and small amounts of 3-S and 7-S are formed. Also, the formation of the intermolecular sulfonic anhydride of 1-(methylsulfonyl)naphthalene-5-S is observed. The 2-SO2X-substituted naphthalenes all yield the 5-S and 8-S in a ratio of For both the benzene and naphthalene series, insertion of SO3 between the SO2 and X moieties of the chlorosulfonyl and methoxysulfonyl substituents proper takes place. In the benzene series these reactions are fast as compared with the actual ring sulfonation, whereas in the naphthalene series they are, in general, relatively slow. In the naphthalene series the mesomeric directing effect of the SO2X groups is less important than in the benzene series; the "naphthalene α-effect" also plays an important role.Canadian Journal of Chemistry 02/2011; 71(2):210-215. · 0.96 Impact Factor
Article: On the positional reactivity order in the sulfur trioxide sulfonation of benzene, halogenobenzenes, halogenonaphthalenes, and chloroanthracenes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The reaction of sulfur trioxide with benzene, the four halogenobenzenes, and six halogenonaphthalenes in dichloromethane as solvent, and with four chlorinated anthracenes in nitromethane as solvent, has been studied by analysis of the resulting mixture of the sulfo derivatives with 1H NMR. The sulfonation of benzene yields initially benzenesulfonic acid and subsequently the 1,3-disulfonic acid (1,3-S2). The initial sulfonation of the four halogenobenzenes yields ≥ 98% of the 4-S. Their subsequent sulfonation gives the 2,4-S2 and in the case of fluoro- and iodobenzene also the 2,4,6-S3. Monosulfonation of 1-fluoronaphthalene yields only the 4-S, whereas the three other 1-halogenonaphthalenese yield in addition some 5-S. Further sulfonation on any of the four 1-halogenonaphthalene-4-sulfonic acids yields a mixture of the 2,4-S2 and 4,7-S2, and eventually also some 2,4,7-S3, whereas the 1-halogeno-5-sulfonic acids give the corresponding 5,7-S2. Sulfonation of 2-chloro- and 2-bromonaphthalene yields initially 85% 8-S and 15% 4-S, which are subsequently converted into the 6,8-S2 and 4,7-S2, respectively. On reaction with 1.0 mol-equiv. of SO3, 2-chloroanthracene gives the 9-S, and 9-chloroanthracene gives an 18:82 mixture of the 4-S and 10-S. Both 1,5- and 1,8-dichloroanthracene yield initially the 4-S and subsequently the 4,8-S2 and 4,5-S2, respectively.Canadian Journal of Chemistry 02/2011; 72(9):1966-1971. · 0.96 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The photochemistry of the α-bis(methoxyimino)alkanes 1–5 and the, structurally related, conjugated dihydro(methoxyimino)isoxazoles 6 and 7 was studied. Triplet-photosensitized irradiation of 1–7 leads only to stepwise E-Z isomerization. Photostationary-state (pss) ratios for 1,6 and 7 are reported for the various applied triplet sensitizers. Direct irradiation with 254 nm leads to both E-Z isomerization (which is the dominant reaction) and formation of products resulting from initial N-O homolysis of the excited singlet ππ* state. Mechanisms for the formation of the various products are proposed and the relative importance of the various steps is indicated and discussed. For the α-bis(methoxyimino)alkanes 1 and 3, only the (E,Z)-isomer undergoes N-O homolysis. With the (methoxyimino)isoxazolines 6 and 7, only the exocyclic NO bond exhibits homolysis and not the strained endocyclic bond.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 111(2):79 - 87.

ABSTRACT: The photochemistry of 1-acetyl-3-methylbicyclo[1.1.0]butane in various solvents usingλ 254 and 300 nm radiation has been studied. In inert solvents, photoisomerization occurs with formation of 3 and 4 with subsequent photoconversion of 3 into 5. The (3 + 5)/4 ratios are significantly greater forλ 254 than forλ 300 nm radiation, illustrating direct reaction from the π* excited state(s). Additional photoreduction to 6 was observed forλ 300 nm in hydrogen-donating solvents, especially in diisopropyl ether and toluene. In carbon tetrachloride, atλ 300 nm, mainly the HCl addition compound 10 is formed via ketone-photosensitized decomposition of CCl4. Similarly, with methanol, 2-propanol and water as solvent or addendum, the 1,3-addition products 7–9 are obtained. Under all of these conditions, no photoproducts containing the intact bicyclo[1.1.0]butyl group were found, illustrating the high chemical reactivity of this severely strained group.Mechanisms for the formation of the photoisomerization, photoreduction and 1,3-dipolar addition products are proposed.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 105(10):386 - 394.
Article: Aromatic sulfonation. Part XVII: Kinetics and mechanism of the sulfonation of chlorobenzene in aqueous sulfuric acid[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chlorobenzene has been sulfonated homogeneously in aqueous sulfuric acid varying from 83.4 to 99.6 wt-%, at 25°. The isomer distribution-98.8% para, 0.8% ortho, 0.4% meta - is constant over the acid range studied. The substrate isotope effect has been determined under conditions of rapid hydrogen exchange; kD/kH varies from 0.8 in 95% sulfuric acid to 0.4 in 97%. The dependence of the reaction rate and the isotope effect on the acid concentration is explained by an SE2-mechanism involving attack by H2S2O7 followed by proton removal from the σ-complex by HSO4−; the latter process is partly rate-limiting at high acid concentrations.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 86(8):865 - 872.
Article: Aromatic sulfonation. Part XVIII: Ortho‐substitution in the sulfonation of monoalkylbenzenes with sulfuric acid[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The degree of ortho-substitution in the sulfonation of toluene, ethylbenzene and isopropylbenzene with sulfuric acid varying in concentration from 80.6 to 98.5% H2SO4 at 25° was determined. For a given sulfuric acid concentration the ratio of ortho- to (para- + meta-) substitution decreases with increasing size of the alkyl group, whereas for a given alkyl group this ratio decreases with decreasing sulfuric acid concentration.Partial rate factors for the homogeneous sulfonation of toluene, ethylbenzene, isopropylbenzene and t-butylbenzene in 86.3% sulfuric acid at 25° were calculated. The partial rate factors for ortho-substitution decrease with increasing size of the alkyl group, while those for para-substitution follow the Baker-Nathan order.Introduction of a sulfonic acid group ortho to the alkyl group of an alkylbenzene can be effected with weak oleum (∼ 16%) as reagent under conditions of disulfonation with toluene, ethylbenzene and isopropylbenzene, but not with t-butylbenzene.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 86(8):873 - 878.

ABSTRACT: Sulfonation of norbornene 1 with the SO3-dioxane complex affords the β-sultone 2, which rearranges at room temperature to the γ-sultone 3. Reaction of 1 with 2 equiv of SO3-nitromethane yields the carbyl sulfate 4. Carbocations are not involved in the formation of either the β-sultone or the carbyl sulfate.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 109(9):485 - 486.
Article: The photolysis of cyclopropanecarbaldehyde at 313 nm, a possible example of triplet‐triplet annihilation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cyclopropanecarbaldehyde has been photolysed in the gas-phase with light in the 313 nm region at temperatures from 50 to 190 °C and at various aldehyde pressures. The most important gaseous reaction products are carbon monoxide, propene and cyclopropane. The quantum yield of propene, which is practically independent of temperature, decreases with increasing aldehyde pressure. The quantum yield of cyclopropane increases with both temperature and aldehyde pressure but decreases with increasing intensity of the absorbed light.It is proposed that propene is formed by intramolecular decomposition of singlet excited cyclopropanecarbaldehyde, whereas cyclopropane ultimately results from a radical decomposition of triplet cyclopropanecarbaldehyde.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 87(1):73 - 85.
Article: Aromatic sulfonation. Part 30: Sulfonation of anthracene with sulfur trioxide‐dioxane; slow proton transfer in the formation of 9‐anthracenesulfonic acid[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sulfonation of anthracene-9-d with sulfur trioxide-dioxane in dioxane as solvent at 40° leads to 31 ± 2% α-, 8 ± 2% β- and 61 ± 2% meso-substitution. The substitution at the meso-position proceeds with a maximal substrate kinetic isotope effect of hydrogen - kH/kD = 6.8 with 5.6 and 8.6 as limiting values - indicating that the proton removal from the σ-complex is rate-limiting.From the data for anthracene-9-d it was calculated that the sulfonation of C14H10 leads to 21 ± 3% 1-, 6 ± 2% 2- and 73 ± 5% 9-substitution.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 91(1):22 - 32.
Article: Mechanistic photochemical studies on the 1,3‐acyl shift and oxa‐di‐π‐methane rearrangement of two β,γ·γ′,δ′‐dienones[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The photochemical rearrangement of the two 2-(2-alkenyl)-2-(1-cyclopentenyl)cyclopentanones (E)-1a and (E)-2a have been studied under conditions of both direct (λ 300 nm) and tripletsensitized irradiation in order to determine the applicability of 2-alkenyl moieties as intramolecular quenchers of the lowest excited triplet states of the β,γ-enone chromophore.The β,γ·γ′,δ′-dienone (E)-1a, upon direct irradiation, exhibits a reversible 1,3-acyl shift (1,3-AS) leading to an eventual photostationary state {[(E)-1a]/[(E)-1b]}pss = 4.0 ± 0.8, whereas triplet photosensitization of (E)-1a gives the ODPM isomer (E)-1c. Both processes occur without (E)-(Z) isomerization of the 2-butenyl side-chain. Direct irradiation of (E)-2a yields, albeit very inefficiently, the 1,3-AS compound (E)-2b (Φ < 0.001) as the primary product which, upon electronic excitation, forms, in competing reactions, (E)-2a (Φ = 0.18) and (Z)-2b (Φ = 0.035). Upon triplet photosensitization of both (E)-2a and (E)-2b, only (E)-(Z) isomerization of the styryl side-chain is observed. The eventual photostationary state in the direct irradiation equals {[(E)-2a]/[(Z)-2a]/[(E)-2b]/[(Z)-2b]}pss=(33± 1)/(33 ± 1)/(17 ± 1)/(17 ± 1).The differences in photochemical behaviour of the β,γ·γ′,δ′-dienone substrates and their 1,3-AS products are discussed with special emphasis being placed upon the triplet energies of the 2-alkenyl chromophores relative to those of the β,γ-enone chromophores and the occurrence of CT interaction which enhances the internal conversion of the S1(nπ*) states of the β,γ-enone chromophores.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 104(10):272 - 276.
Article: Photochemistry of α,α,ω,ω‐tetramethyl‐1,2‐cycloalkanediones; influence of the conformation of the diketo moiety on the photochemical behaviour[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of α,α,ω,ω-tetramethyl-1,2-cycloalkanediones, with a ring size varying between 4 and 8 C atoms (la-e), together with 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3,4-hexanedione (2a), have been irradiated both in 2-propanol and in benzene in order to study the influence of the diketo conformation on the photochemical behaviour of 1,2-diketones. Irradiation of lb-d in 2-propanol leads exclusively to photoreduction with formation of the corresponding acyloins via intermolecular H abstraction, whereas le and 2 yield predominantly the 2-hydroxycyclobutanone product via intramolecular H abstraction. The irradiations of la-e in benzene lead to different products for the six homologous cyclic 1,2-diketones. Mechanisms for the formation of the various products are proposed. It is concluded that the 1,2-diketones with Φ (ground state) <90° and >90° react, upon excitation, from a conformation having a planar cisoid and transoid diketo geometry, respectively.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 102(3):173 - 181.
Article: Photochemical behaviour of cyclic s‐cis α‐oxo oxime ethers. Ab‐initio investigation on ethanedial monooxime as model compound[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: With the objective of understanding the photodissociation of cyclic s-cisoid α-oxo oxime ethers upon irradiation at λ 254 nm, an ab-initio study has been performed using s-cis-ethanedial monooxime as model compound. In accordance with previously presented experimental observations, the calculations demonstrated (i) that the initial step in the photodissociation is NO homolysis and (ii) that NO scission takes place with the (E), but not with the (Z) isomer, due to the presence of a relatively low-lying doubly excited (nπ*)(nπ*) state with the (Z) isomer, causing this isomer to decay via Z-E isomerization.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 109(10):502 - 508.
Article: Aromatic sulfonation XIII determination of the kinetic isotope effect of hydrogen in the sulfonation and sulfonylation of benzene[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The kinetic isotope effect of hydrogen in the sulfonation of benzene with sulfur trioxide in nitrobenzene as solvent has been determined at 25° in a competitive study as kH/kD = 1.35 ± 0.16; for nitromethane as solvent kH/kD = 1.25 ± 0.01. Small amounts of diphenylsulfone were obtained as by-product in the sulfonation reactions. For the sulfonylation reaction in the two solvents the kinetic isotope effect was determined at 25° as kH/kD = 0.96 ± 0.04 and 0.94 ± 0.07 respectively.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 84(12):1613 - 1616.
Article: Photochemistry of α‐oxo oximes. Part 11: Photochemical E‐Z isomerization of two 2‐(methoxyimino)‐1‐indanones. Evidence for excimer formation upon direct excitation at λ 300 nm[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Photochemical E-Z isomerization of 2-(methoxyimino)-1-indanone (1) and its 7-methyl derivative (2) was studied under conditions of direct irradiation (λ 350 and 300 nm) and triplet photosensitization. The decay ratios k5/k6 for triplet photosensitization and direct irradiation at λ 350 nm are the same for a given compound, indicating that isomerization of the studied -oxo oxime ethers upon direct irradiation at λ 350 nm also proceeds from the (lowest) excited triplet state. Upon direct irradiation at λ 300 nm, the photostationary state (pss) was found to depend on the concentration of the 2-(methoxyimino)-1-indanone: at high concentrations, the (E)-isomer strongly dominates (>90%), whereas, at low -oxo oxime ether concentrations, a substantial amount of the (Z)-isomer is present (up to 35%). The concentration dependence of the pss is explained in terms of excimer formation of the S2(ππ*) state, the excimer being capable of inducing efficient E-Z isomerization with a different decay ratio than that of the excited triplet monomer.Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas. 09/2010; 109(11):531 - 536.

Powdered caffeine can kill
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A few weeks before their prom king's death, students at an Ohio high school had attended an assembly on narcotics that warned about the dangers of heroin and prescription painkillers.
But it was one of the world's most widely accepted drugs that killed Logan Stiner — a powdered form of caffeine so potent that as little as a single teaspoon can be fatal.
The teen's sudden death in May has focused attention on the unregulated powder and drawn a warning from federal health authorities urging consumers to avoid it.
"I don't think any of us really knew that this stuff was out there," said Jay Arbaugh, superintendent of the Keystone Local Schools.
The federal Food and Drug Administration said Friday that it's investigating caffeine powder and will consider taking regulatory action. The agency cautioned parents that young people could be drawn to it.
An autopsy found that Stiner had a lethal amount of caffeine in his system when he died May 27 at his home in LaGrange, Ohio, southwest of Cleveland.
Stiner, a wrestler, had more than 70 micrograms of caffeine per milliliter of blood in his system, as much as 23 times the amount found in a typical coffee or soda drinker, according to the county coroner.
His mother has said she was unaware her son took caffeine powder. He was just days away from graduation and had planned to study at the University of Toledo.
Caffeine powder is sold as a dietary supplement, so it's not subject to the same federal regulations as certain caffeinated foods. Users add it to drinks for a pick-me-up before workouts or to control weight gain.
A minuscule amount packs a punch.
A mere 1⁄16th of a teaspoon can contain about 200 milligrams of caffeine, roughly the equivalent of two large cups of coffee. That means a heaping teaspoon could kill, said Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.
The powder is almost impossible to measure with common kitchen tools, the FDA said.
"The difference between a safe amount and a lethal dose of caffeine in these powdered products is very small," FDA spokeswoman Jennifer Dooren said.
Glatter said he's seen several younger patients experience complications from caffeine in the last few months. Some arrive with rapid heart rates.
"They're starting to latch onto the powders more because they see it as a more potent way to lose weight," Glatter said.
Health officials worry about caffeine powder's potential popularity among exercise enthusiasts and young people seeking an energy boost.
Dr. Henry Spiller directs a poison control center at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Over a week or so this month, the center took reports of three people hospitalized for misusing caffeine powder.
"I can't believe you can buy this," Spiller said. "Honestly, I mean, it's frightening. It makes no sense to me."
Federal investigations have recently prompted some companies to pull products with added caffeine.
Last year, Wrigley halted sales and marketing of Alert caffeinated gum after discussions with the FDA.
