Die Bedeutung des § 2 Abs. 1 BetrVG für den Umfang und die Schranken der Mitbestimmung nach § 87 BetrVG

Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Bedeutung des § 2 Abs. 1 BetrVG für die Reichweite und die Grenzen der Mitbestimmung des Betriebsrates nach § 87 BetrVG.. Ebenso wie im BetrVG 1952 bildet auch im BetrVG 1972 und im BetrVG 2001 der vierte Teil mit den Regelungen über die Mitwirkung und Mitbestimmung der Arbeitnehmer das eigentliche Kernstück des Gesetzes. Zentralvorschrift für die Mitbestimmung des Betriebsrats in sozialen Angelegenheiten ist dabei § 87 BetrVG. Diese Regelung umfasst alle Arbeitsbedingungen, die nicht schon gesetzlich oder tariflich geregelt sind, anderseits aber oft nur einheitlich für alle Arbeitnehmer im Betrieb geregelt werden können. Soweit die Tatbestandsvoraussetzungen der einzelnen Gegenstände in § 87 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 bis Nr. 13 BetrVG erfüllt sind, hat der Betriebsrat eine umfassende funktionelle Zuständigkeit zur Mitbestimmung in sämtlichen sozialen Angelegenheiten. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Arbeit soll es daher sein, Rechtsnatur, Struktur und Anwendungsbereich des Gebots der vertrauensvollen Zusammenarbeit und der Mitbestimmungsrechte gem. § 87 BetrVG zu klären. Hier ist insbesondere zu erörtern, ob Mitbestimmungsrechte des Betriebsrats gem. § 87 Abs. 1 BetrVG außerhalb des Katalogs der gesetzlichen Vorschriften aus dem Grundsatz der vertrauensvollen Zusammenarbeit herzuleiten sind. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt in der Herausarbeitung der Korrektur- und Schrankenfunktion des § 2 Abs. 1 BetrVG im Bereich der Mitbestimmung nach § 87 Abs. 1 BetrVG.

L'utilizzo di carbonati come reagenti per la sintesi "green" di derivati fenolici: l'esempio del 2-fenossi-1-etanolo

2-Phenoxyethanol (ethylene glycol monophenyl ether) is used as solvent for cellulose acetate, dyes, inks, and resins; it is a synthetic intermediate in the production of plasticizers, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances. Phenoxyethanol is obtained industrially by reaction of phenol with ethylene oxide, in the presence of an homogeneous alkaline catalyst, typically sodium hydroxide. The yield is not higher than 95-96%, because of the formation of polyethoxylated compounds. However, the product obtained may not be acceptable for use in cosmetic preparations and fragrance formulations, due to presence of a pungent “metallic” odor which masks the pleasant odor of the ether, deriving from residual traces of the metallic catalyst. Here we report a study aimed at using ethylene carbonate in place of ethylene oxide as the reactant for phenoxyethanol synthesis; the use of carbonates as green nucleophilic reactants is an important issue in the context of a modern and sustainable chemical industry. Moreover, in the aim of developing a process which might adhere the principles of Green Chemistry, we avoided the use of solvents, and used heterogeneous basic catalysts. We carried out the reaction by using various molar ratios between phenol and ethylene carbonate, at temperatures ranging between 180 and 240°C, with a Na-mordenite catalyst. Under specific conditions, it was possible to obtain total phenol conversion with >99% yield to phenoxyethanol in few hours reaction time, using a moderate excess of ethylene carbonate. Similar results, but with longer reaction times, were obtained using a stoichiometric feed ratio of reactants. One important issue of the research was finding conditions under which the leaching of Na was avoided, and the catalyst could be separated and reused for several reaction batches.

Mouse lung CYP1A1 catalyzes the metabolic activation of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP)

PhIP carcinogenesis is initiated by N(2)-hydroxylation, mediated by several cytochromes P450, including CYP1A1. However, the role of CYP1A1 in PhIP metabolic activation in vivo is unclear. In this study, Cyp1a1-null and wild-type (WT) mice were used to investigate the potential role of CYP1A1 in PhIP metabolic activation in vivo. PhIP N(2)-hydroxylation was actively catalyzed by lung homogenates of WT mice, at a rate of 14.9 +/- 5.0 pmol/min/g tissue, but < 1 pmol/min/g tissue in stomach and small intestine, and almost undetectable in mammary gland and colon. PhIP N(2)-hydroxylation catalyzed by lung homogenates of Cyp1a1-null mice was approximately 10-fold lower than that of WT mice. In contrast, PhIP N(2)-hydroxylation activity in lung homogenates of Cyp1a2-null versus WT mice was not decreased. Pretreatment with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) increased lung Cyp1a1 mRNA and lung homogenate PhIP N(2)-hydroxylase activity approximately 50-fold in WT mice, where the activity was substantially inhibited (70%) by monoclonal antibodies against CYP1A1. In vivo, 30 min after oral treatment with PhIP, PhIP levels in lung were similar to those in liver. After a single dose of 0.1 mg/kg [(14)C]PhIP, lung PhIP-DNA adduct levels in Cyp1a1-null mice, but not in Cyp1a2-null mice, were significantly lower (P=0.0028) than in WT mice. These results reveal that mouse lung has basal and inducible PhIP N(2)-hydroxylase activity predominantly catalyzed by CYP1A1. Because of the high inducibility of human CYP1A1, especially in cigarette smokers, the role of lung CYP1A1 in PhIP carcinogenesis should be considered.

Highly Efficient Non-palladium Catalyzed Controlled Synthesis and X-ray Analysis of Functionalized 1,2-Diaryl-, 1,2,3-Triaryl- and 1,2,3,4-Tetraarylbenzene

A general, two-step highly efficient synthesis of 1,2-diaryl-, 1,2,3-triaryl- and 1,2,3,4-tetraarylbenzenes from simple stitching of alpha-oxo-ketene-S,S-acetals and active methylene compounds via a ‘lactone intermediate’ is described. This procedure offers easy access to highly functionalized arylated-benzenes containing sterically demanding groups in good to excellent yields. The novelty of the procedure lies in the fabrication of aromatic compounds with desired conformational flexibility along the molecular axis in a transition metal-free environment through easily accessible precursors. The crystal analysis of these arylated-benzene scaffolds showed that the peripheral aryl rings are arranged in propeller-like fashion with respect to the central benzene rings. Examination of the crystal packing in the structure of a 1,2,3,4-tetraarylbenzene 12c revealed a “N…pi interaction” between molecules related by a two-fold screw axis running in a direction. It is interesting that the repeat of the array of N…pi interaction around the axis of the 1,2,3,4-tetraarylbenzene 12c enforces the molecules in a helical pattern.
