    Notes: The role of microtubules in secretory granule translocation was studied during stalk secretion in the peritrich ciliate, Zoothamnium arbuscula. In each cell, the release of stalk-forming secretory materials is restricted to a specialized region of the cytoplasm, the scopula. Many of the membrane-bound secretory granules that dominate the scopular cytoplasm appear to be aligned along cortical microtubules that converge on the scopular surface. This arrangement is consistent with the hypothesis that microtubules transport granules relative to the sites of exocytosis. To establish the role of microtubules in stalk secretion, telotrochs were exposed to agents with different disruptive effects on microtubule function. Exocytosis itself is not prevented by these drugs, and granules positioned for secretion prior to treatment are released. Maytansine and isopropyl-n-phenyl carbamate (IPC) completely inhibit stalk elongation. In maytansine-treated cells, microtubules are absent from the scopular cytoplasm, and granules are absent from the scopular surface. Microtubules are present in IPC-treated cells, but the granules are misdirected to the cytoplasm lateral to the scopula where no secretory sites exist. Even though the rate of stalk secretion is decreased by deuterium oxide (D2O), a control length stalk is eventually produced. In D2O-treated cells microtubules are present and in their normal orientation. The inhibition of secretion when microtubules are absent (maytansine) or misdirected (IPC) and the retardation of secretion when microtubule turnover is reduced (D2O) supports a mechanism of granule transport based on the directional turnover of microtubule subunits.

    Notes: Methyl α-cyanoacrylate, when suitably inhibited by Lewis acids against anionic polymerization, can be polymerized readily with free-radical initiators to form hard, clear, high molecular weight polymers. The ratio of kp2/kt is approximately 0.021 at 60°C. if 100% efficiency of initiation by azobisisobutyronitrile is assumed. Acceleration occurs at very low conversion to polymer during bulk polymerizations. The homopolymer is thermally unstable at temperatures only slightly above the glass temperature (estimated to be 165-170°C.). Degradation of the polymer under gamma irradiation is pronounced, only 18 e.v. being required per main-chain scission.

    Notes: The polymerization of methyl methacrylate and isopropyl acrylate in toluene with phenyl-H3-magnesium bromide has been studied at 0 and -70°C., respectively. Comparison of number-average molecular weights calculated from measurement of radioactivity and from measurements of appropriate colligative properties has shown that there is one and only one phenyl group per chain. Thus, initiation in this system is by 1,4-addition of the organomagnesium compound to the monomer. Methyl methacrylate, isopropyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and methyl acrylate were polymerized in toluene with phenylmagnesium bromide as the initiator. Isolation and identification of all the products have shown that, in addition to polymer, there are formed small amounts of two ketones and a hydrocarbon. Data are presented indicating that the principal mode of termination is via an intramolecular cyclization to give chains having a β-ketoester group on the end (arising from intramolecular reaction). A rationale for the stereospecificity, the termination reaction, and the large ratios of weight-average to number-average molecular weight in these polymerizations is proposed.

    Notes: Polymerizations of methyl methacrylate initiated by potassium and sodium amides in liquid ammonia solution proceed extremely rapidly even at low temperatures. The resulting polymers have relatively narrow molecular weight distributions M̄v/M̄n ∼ 1.5 and, unlike polymers of styrene prepared similarly, do not contain terminal amine groups. The molecular weight of poly(methyl methacrylate) prepared with potassium amide is independent of the monomer concentration and of the concentrations of potassium amide, potassium ion, and amide ion. The absence of terminal amine groups suggests that methoxide ion, produced by 1,2-addition of amide ion to the monomer, is the actual initiating species. The substantial absence of a termination step is indicated by the narrow distribution of molecular weights. Several minor variations of this general reaction sequence may give the experimentally observed independence of molecular weight on reactant concentrations. One such modification is considered by way of illustration, although final selection of a detailed mechanism is not possible on the basis of the present results.

    Notes: Isotactic (type II)polymers of methyl methacrylate are obtained from anionic polymerizations initiated by organolithium compounds at low temperature ( -70°)in toluene solution. The presence of small amounts of various ethers leads to polymers of reduced isotacticity; the effectiveness of these ethers in disrupting stereospecificity can be related semiquantitatively to their Lewis base strength. Certain Grignard reagents also produce highly isotactic polymer of methyl methacrylate, while others lead to less stereospecific results. The nature of the inorganic component of such initiators appears to determine the steric course of the addition reaction. The formation of a magnesium halide-monomer complex may be involved.
