# 1-Methylcyclopropene

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is a cyclopropene derivative used as a synthetic plant growth regulator. It is structurally related to the natural plant hormone ethylene and it is used commercially to slow down the ripening of fruit and to help maintain the freshness of cut flowers.

## Synthesis

1-Methylcyclopropene is synthesized by the reaction of methallyl chloride and phenyllithium, which functions as a base:
Methallyl chloride
Phenyl lithium
(base)
1-Methyl­cyclopropene
The phenyllithium should be free of lithium halides. The corresponding reaction of allyl chloride and phenyllithium main affords cyclopropylbenzene.

## Isomers

Methylcyclopropene can refer to either of two isomers, 1-methylcyclopropene covered in this article, or 3-methylcyclopropene which is not covered in this article. 2-methylcyclopropene would be an incorrect name for 1-methylcyclopropene. Also note: methylcyclopropane is yet a different chemical compound, which is a cycloalkane with the formula C$_4$H$_8$.

## Mechanism of action

Ethylene is a gas acting at trace levels (typically between a few tenths and a few thousands ppm in the gas atmosphere) throughout the life of a plant by stimulating or regulating various processes such as the ripening of climacteric fruit, the opening of flowers (dehiscence process), and the shedding of leaves (abscission process). The mechanism of action of 1-MCP involves its tightly binding to the ethylene receptor in plants, thereby blocking the effects of ethylene (competitive inhibitor).

## Commercial use

1-MCP is used commercially to maintain the freshness of ornamental plants and flowers and preventing the ripening of fruits. It is used in enclosed sites, such as coolers, truck trailers, greenhouses, storage facilities, and shipping containers.
Under the brand name EthylBloc, 1-MCP was approved in 1999 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use on ornamental crops. For cut flowers, potted flowers, and bedding, nursery and foliage plants, 1-MCP prevents or delays wilting, leaf yellowing, opening, and death.
Under the brand name SmartFresh, 1-MCP is used in the agriculture industry by growers, packers, and shippers to prevent or delay the natural ripening process. The use of 1-MCP in agricultural products including apples, kiwifruit, tomatoes, bananas, plums, persimmons, avocados, and melons has been approved and accepted for use in more than 34 countries including the European Union and the United States. Although benefiting from fresher produce and lower cost, the consumer however may be purchasing fruit that is older than expected.
1-MCP is also being developed as a crop protection technique. By spraying 1-MCP on growing field crops during times of stress, the crops may be protected from moderate heat and drought conditions.
# The Wolf (picture book)

The Wolf is a 1991 Australian children's picture book by Margaret Barbalet and Jane Tanner. It is about a family that is terrorised by a wolf over a number of months but upon allowing it into their house realise that it means no harm.

It won the 1992 Australian Human rights Award for Literature in Children's Fiction, was shortlisted for the 1992 CBCA Early Childhood Book Award, and is a 1993 AISLE Read-Aloud Books Too Good to Miss book.

# 17 Persei

17 Persei is a single star in the northern constellation of Perseus, located about 420 light years away from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.53. This object is moving further from the Earth at a heliocentric radial velocity of +13 km/s.
Based upon a stellar classification of K5+III, this is an evolved giant star that has exhausted the hydrogen at its core. It is a suspected variable star, with an amplitude of 0.012 magnitude and period 4.4 days. The star has 1.1 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 60 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 848 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,014 K.
# The Passing Show (disambiguation)

The Passing Show was a musical revue from 1894 to 1924. See specifically The Passing Show of 1916 and The Passing Show of 1918 for the revues of those years.
Passing Show or The Passing Show may also refer to:

* The Passing Show (TV series), a British TV series broadcast from 1951 to 1953.
# Oxalosuccinic acid

Oxalosuccinic acid is a substrate of the citric acid cycle. It is acted upon by isocitrate dehydrogenase. Salts and esters of oxalosuccinic acid are known as oxalosuccinates.
Oxalosuccinic acid/oxalosuccinate is an unstable 6-carbon intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It's a keto acid, formed during the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate, which is catalyzed by the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase. Isocitrate is first oxidized by coenzyme NAD+ to form oxalosuccinic acid/oxalosuccinate. Oxalosuccinic acid is both an alpha-keto and a beta-keto acid (an unstable compound) and it is the beta-ketoic property that allows the loss of carbon dioxide in the enzymatic reaction in conversion to the five-carbon molecule 2-oxoglutarate.
# Peter B. Olney

Peter Butler Olney (July 23, 1843 Oxford, Worcester County, Massachusetts – February 9, 1922 Cedarhurst, Nassau County, New York) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

## Life

He attended Phillips Andover Academy and graduated from Harvard College in 1864, and from Harvard Law School in 1866. He was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in the firm of Evarts, Southmayd & Choate in New York City. In 1869, he formed a partnership with Ex-Secretary of State of New York Francis C. Barlow. In 1872, Barlow took office as State Attorney General and Olney helped with the prosecution of the members of the Tweed Ring.
He married Mary Sigourney Butler, and they had four sons: Peter B. Olney, Jr. (1881–1968), Richard Olney, Wilson Olney and Sigourney B. Olney.
In 1875, Olney ran on the Tammany ticket for New York County District Attorney but was defeated by the incumbent Republican Benjamin K. Phelps. Afterwards Olney left Tammany and joined the "County Democracy", the Anti-Tammany Democrats of New York City. After the death of D.A. John McKeon and the resignation of Wheeler H. Peckham after only a week in office, Governor Grover Cleveland appointed Olney in December 1883 as D.A. to fill the vacancy until the end of 1884.
In 1884, Olney decided to act against Marm Mandelbaum, a criminal fence to many of the street gangs and criminals of New York's underworld. Instead of relying on the city’s police force, which Mandelbaum had reportedly been bribing for decades, Olney hired the Pinkerton Detective Agency, to conduct a sting operation that led to her arrest. The use of Pinkerton detectives caused some friction between the district attorney’s office and the city’s police inspector.
From 1897 until his death, he practiced law as senior partner of the firm of Olney & Comstock. From 1898 on he was also a U.S. Referee in Bankruptcy. In 1919, he was appointed by Surrogate Fowler as referee to investigate claims against the estate of the deceased actress Anna Held.
Olney died from pneumonia at his home at Cedarhurst, Long Island. He was a trustee of Teachers College. U.S. Attorney General and Secretary of State Richard Olney was his brother.
