A comparison of children who receive and who do not receive permission to participate in research.

In a study examining children's social competence in elementary school settings, the authors had the opportunity to compare children who received parental permission to participate to children who did not receive permission. Results indicated that children who were not involved in the study were more likely to be viewed by teachers as having unsatisfactory relationships with peers than children who were in the study. The present results suggest that investigators begin reporting the number of children who do not participate in a given study and begin examining whether minors who receive parental permission differ on important dimensions from minors who do not receive such permission. Ethical considerations of the present study are discussed.

Analysis pesticides by chemical derivatization. III. Gas chromatographic characteristics and conditions for the formation of pentafluorobenzyl derivatives of ten herbicidal acids.

The reaction conditions to form pentafluorobenzyl derivatives of 10 herbicidal acids, at pesticide residue levels, were studied. The optimum conditions were reaction at room temperature for at least 5 hr (or overnight), using potassium carbonate solution as catalyst. The gas chromatographic characteristics of these derivatives were also studied. Nine of 10 of these derivatives can be separated on an OV-101/OV-210 gas chromatographic column.

Analysis of pesticides by chemical derivatization. I. a new procedure for the formation of 2-chloroethyl esters of ten herbicidal acids.

A new esterification procedure was developed to form 2-chloroethyl esters for 10 common herbicidal acids, using dicyclohexyl carbodiimide and 2-chloroethanol. This reagent was found to be more desirable than the commonly used boron trichloride/2-chloroethanol reagent. Maximum esterification was given for picloram at a lower reaction temperature with a shorter reaction time. Also, maximum esterification of dicamba and 2,3,6-TBA was achieved. The boron trichloride/2-chlorethanol gave poor or little esterification with these 2 acids under the various conditions investigated. The effect of solvents on esterification with the 2 reagents was also explored.
