In late 1990, executives, engineers, and financial advisors working for Amoco Corporation and Apache Corporation began serious discussions about the sale to Apache of MW Petroleum Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amoco Production Company. Amoco had transferred to MW certain of its own assets that it regarded as non-strategic. MW,s size, location, and operations were all very attractive to Apache, which had grown nearly 30% per year since the mid-1980s

Culture means an entire way of life of a society, or of a people. Different cultures have their own patterns of life. It's rather than instinctive behavior. The diversity of culture shows different attitude to ideas of what is beautiful and ways to treat dead bod ies. But it has nothing to do with right or wrong, for it is simply that different people do the some things in different ways

Chapter 16 Objectives After you have read and studied this chapter, you should be able to Write recursive algorithms for mathematic functions and nonnumerical operations. Decide when to use recursion and when not to. Describe the recursive quicksort algorithm and explain how its performance is better than selection and bubble sort algorithms

ow that we've reviewed the various bonding models, we are ready to examine organic compounds in respect to their structure, reactions, properties, and appli cations. Were we to list the physical and chemical properties of each of the more than million organic compounds separately, it would tax the capacity of even a pow- erful computer. Yet someone who is trained in organic chemistry can simply look at the structure

drogen peroxide is formed in the cells of plants and animals but is toxic to them. neemen Consequently, living systems hav developed mechanisms to rid themselves of hydrogen peroxide, usually by enzyme-catalyzed reduction to water. An under- standing of how reactions take place, be they reactions in living systems or reactions in

he Greek word stereos means\solid, \and stereochemistry refers to chemistry in three dimensions. The foundations of organic stereochemistry were laid by Jacobus van't Hoff* and Joseph Achille Le Bel in 1874. Independently of each other, van't Hoff and Le Bel proposed that the four bonds to carbon were directed toward the cor- ners of a tetrahedron. One consequence of a tetrahedral arrangement of bonds to carbon

ADDITION TO THE CARBONYL GROUP Idehydes and ketones contain an acyl group RC-bonded either to hydrogen or to another carbon

Absolute configuration(Section 7.5): The three-dimensional Activating substituent (Sections 12.10 and 12.12): A group rrangement of atoms or groups at a stereogenic center. that when present in place of a hydrogen causes a particular Acetal(Section 17.8): Product of the reaction of an aldehyde or reaction to occur faster. Term is most often applied to a ketone with two moles of an alcohol according to the substituents that increase the rate of electrophilic aromatic
