Alcohol water-compatible oxidants

Various primary and secondary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes and ketones with the ion-supported [bis(acyloxy)iodo]arene 99 in the ionic liquid [emim]+[BF4] (l-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluorobo-rate) in the presence of bromide anion [94], or in water in the presence of ion-supported TEMPO [97]. Under similar conditions reagent 99 can be used for mild, efficient, highly selective and environmentally friendly oxidation of aliphatic and aromatic sulfides to sulfoxides in excellent yields [98]. This reaction is compatible with hydroxyl, nitrile, methoxy, carbon-carbon double bonds and ester functionalities. The analogous pyrrolidinium-derived ion-supported [bis(acyloxy)iodo]arenes are efficient oxidants of alcohols to carbonyl compounds in the presence of TEMPO [99]. 

As an anionic surfactant, a synthetic alkylate-base sulfonate containing about 60 % active material (Synacto 476) was used. To make it compatible with the injection water considered (composition in Table I) containing 1500 ppm Ca++ and Mg++ ions, a nonionic cosurfactant was combined with it, i.e. an unsaturated ethoxylated fatty alcohol with 8 ethylene oxide groups (Genapol). Their main characteristics and properties are listed in Table II. 

The chemistry of flavins is complex, a fact that is reflected in the uncertainity that has accompanied efforts to understand mechanisms. For flavoproteins at least four mechanistic possibilities must be considered.1533 233 (a) A reasonable hydride-transfer mechanism can be written for flavoprotein dehydrogenases (Eq. 15-23). The hydride ion is donated at N-5 and a proton is accepted at N-l. The oxidation of alcohols, amines, ketones, and reduced pyridine nucleotides can all be visualized in this way. Support for such a mechanism came from study of the nonenzymatic oxidation of NADH by flavins, a reaction that occurs at moderate speed in water at room temperature. A variety of flavins and dihydropyridine derivatives have been studied, and the electronic effects observed for the reaction are compatible with the hydride ion mecha-nism.234 236... 

As an inorganic mineral, most unmodified nanoadditives are strongly hydrophilic and are generally compatible and miscible only with a few hydrophilic polymers, for instance, clay can only be made into PNs with polyethylene oxide),27 poly(vinyl alcohol),28 and a few other water soluble polymers. Most polymers are hydrophobic and thus they are neither compatible nor miscible with the unmodified nanoadditives, leading to an inability to achieve a PN with a good nanodispersion in most cases. Therefore, for most nanoadditives that have been used to prepare the PNs, an important and necessary feature is their surface treatment that provides compatibility to the nanoadditives and enables them to be uniformly dispersed (and/or separated into single nanoparticles) in the polymer matrix. 

Fatty Alcohol Ether Sulfates. Probably the most important derivatives of fatty alcohol in the C12-C14 and C12-C16 ranges are the fatty alcohol ether sulfates. They are produced by the sulfation of the fatty alcohol, containing 2-3 moles of ethylene oxide, with sulfur trioxide or chlorosulfonic acid and subsequently neutralized with caustic soda, ammonia, or an alkanolamine. The ether sulfates possess superior properties over the fatty alcohol sulfates. They have unlimited water solubility, are unaffected by water hardness, and possess superior skin compatibility. Accordingly, they are used in liquid shampoos and bath preparations. One characteristic of this material is its ability to increase its viscosity by the addition of an electrolyte such as salt (5).

The major route to colloidal (effectively water soluble) PAn has been through the chemical oxidation (S2082-) of the monomer in the presence of polymeric steric stabilizers and electrosteric stabilizers (polyelectrolytes), such as poly(vinyl alcohol), polyGV-vinyl pyrrolidone), polyethylene oxide), polystyrene sulfonate), dodecylben-zene sulfonate, and dextran sulfonate. It has been found that the stabilizer can act simultaneously as a dopant, imparting new functionality to the polymer or additional compatibility for the final application. 

Both stabilizing and destabilizing effects of solvents on enzymes have been reported. A reasonably reliable measure of the compatibility of solvents with enzymes is the log P value, where P is defined as the distribution coefficient of a solvent between water and 1-octanol in a two-phase system[64> 791. Solvents with a log P value above 4 are suitable (e. g. aromatics, aliphatics) whereas water-miscible solvents with a log P value below 2 (short chain esters, DMF, short-chain alcohols) are not suitable for employment with biocatalysts. The latter solvents interfere with the water at the boundary of the protein itself and so disrupt the binding forces necessary to maintain an active form of the enzyme. Surprisingly, tert-butanol has a stabilizing effect on some oxidative enzymes(801, despite its low log P value (0.35).

The chemical resistance of Buna-S is similar to that of natural rubber. It is resistant to water and exhibits fair to good resistance to dilute acids, alkalies, and alcohols. It is not resistant to oils, gasoline, hydrocarbons, or oxidizing agents. Refer to Table 5.8 for the compatibility of SBR with selected corrodents.
