Description: The 6th National Congress delegated to this Central Committee all socioeconomic resolutions. The powers of this Central Committee on socio-economic issues is therefore equal to those of the National Congress. This means it can change any socio-economic policy of the federation. Once policy is adopted by the Central Committee it can only be changed by the next National Congress in the year 2000. This document attempts to integrate the resolutions received from affiliates with the other policy positions of the federation as adopted at the previous policy conferences (1992 Economic Policy Conference, 1993 Health and Safety Conference, 1995 Health, Safety and Environment Conference, 1996 Living Wage Conference and May 1997 Policy Conference).

Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 60 , A new teleost fish, Stompooria rogersmithi, is described from deposits of a Late Cretaceous crater lake in the Karoo, South Africa. The fossils represent the earliest known species of the recently redefined family Galaxiidae. Distinguishing features include the apposition of the dorsal and anal fins, 41- 42 vertebrae, all neural arches anterior to the dorsal fin origin fused to the centra, presence of epineurals, the opercle reduced above the level of the hyomandibular articulation, the posttemporal and supracleithrum without a connection to the seismosensory head canals, 18 principal caudal fin rays, two epurals, five hypurals, no dorsal outgrowth on the uroneural, the neural spines of the second and third preural centra similar in size, and absence of a stegural, a third uroneural, a mesocoracoid, a supramaxilla, and teeth on the maxilla and palatine bones.

Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 61 , A new lower-slope eelpout of the genus Dieidolycus Anderson, 1988 (Family Zoarcidae, Subfamily Lycodinae), is described from a single juvenile female trawled in 2008-2165 m off Tierra del Fuego, Chile. It differs from congeners D. leptodermatus Anderson, 1988 and D. adocetus Anderson, 1994 by its head pore pattern, 10 caudal-fin rays, 18 pectoral-fin rays and longer gill slit.

Applications of camphor-derived chiral auxiliaries in the asymmetric synthesis of α-amino acids and other systems

Description: A viable synthetic route to camphor-derived imino lactones as precursors for the asymmetric synthesis of a-amino acids has been established. Several synthetic strategies have been investigated and the required regioisomeric imino lactones were finally obtained via the step-wise condensation of JV-(carbobenzyloxy)glycine with the a-ketols, 3-exo-hydroxycamphor and 2-exo- hydroxy-3-bomanone. Enolates of the camphor imino lactones, generated using potassium tert- butoxide, were reacted with a range of alkyl halides. Dialkylation was observed using the 2-imino lactone, while the regioisomeric 3-imino lactone derivative gave monoalkylated products with diastereoselectivities, shown by NMR spectroscopy, to range from 43% d.e. for the methylated product to > 99% d.e. for larger alkyl groups. The expected preference for endo-alkylation is supported by NMR (chemical shift, coupling constant and NOE) data and was confirmed by acidic hydrolysis of the pentylated 3-imino lactone to afford the known acid. Computer modelling, with the software package HYPERCHEM®, was used to explore the conformational properties of the alkylated products and their enolate precursors. Exploratory work on the enantiomeric beneficiation of racemic amino acids, using alkylated imino lactone derivatives, revealed preferential exo-protonation of the enolate intermediates. Asymmetric Baylis-Hillman reactions between a novel camphor-derived acrylic ester and a range of aldehydes afforded the corresponding 2-(hydroxyalkyl)acrylates in up to 59% d.e., the observed stereoselectivities being sensitive to both steric and electronic factors. Attempts to prepare imino lactone derivatives from ketopinic acid, although unsuccessful, led to the isolation of two novel W-(carbobenzyloxy)glycinates, whose structures were established by 1- and 2-D NMR spectroscopy. Attempts to prepare "BINAP" analogues from dibomyl ether's also proved unsuccessful, but the investigation led to the discovery of a third, novel dibomyl ether. , Thesis (PhD) -- Faculty of Science, Chemistry, 1998
