Journal of electron microscopy, 60(6), 375-378 (2011-10-05)
A plastic bag method was developed to observe air-sensitive samples on microstructure and phase distribution without exposure to air during the holder transfer process into the transmission electron microscope (TEM). As an example, a type of lithium aluminum hydride (Li(3)AlH(6))

The reaction of chiral (2R,1'S)- or (2S,1'S)-2-(1-aminoalkyl)epoxides, 1 or 2 with a variety of organolithium compounds to obtain the corresponding (alphaS,betaS)- or (alphaR,betaS)- beta-amino alcohols in enantiopure form is reported. In both cases, the opening of the oxirane ring at

Specific deuterated reference compounds were prepared to probe the stereoselectivity of the reductive ring opening of carbohydrate-based benzylidene-type acetals. AlD(3) revealed a retentive stereoselectivity probably through the rare S(N)i (internal nucleophilic substitution) mechanism. An S(N)1-like mechanism occurs in the acid-promoted
