Ozonization of Thio-y-pyrones (6). Thio-y-pyrone and 2,6-dimeth dthio-y-py-rone react with ozone at a slower rate than the corresponding y-pyrones. The thio-y-pyrones take up 3 molecules of ozone. Not only do the C=C bonds react with ozone, but oxidation of the sulfur atom also occurs. When the reaction product of the ozonization is treated with dilute alkali and hydrogen peroxide, the solution contains alkali sulfate in an amount corresponding to the sulfur content of the thiopyrone. 

Then, contrary to our previous hypothesis, the reaction proceeds via a Bai2 displacement of aniline on DMC. The product, mono-A -methyl aniline (PhNHMe), plausibly adsorbs into the zeohte in a different way with respect to anihne, because different H-bonds (N H — O-zeolite) take place with the solid. As recently reported by Su et al., A-methyl amines also may interact with NaY by H-bonding between the protons of the methyl group and the oxygen atoms of the zeolite this probably forces the molecule a bit far from the catalytic surface in a fashion less apt to meet DMC and react with it. This behavior can account for the mono-A-methyl selectivity observed, which is specific to the use of DMC in the presence of alkali metal exchanged faujasites in fact, the bis-A-methylation of primary aromatic amines occurs easily with conventional methylating agents (i.e., dimethyl sulfate). ... 

For anionic monolayers, the reversal of the tt-A isotherms can be explained in terms of a competition between the anionic head groups and the alkali metal cations for molecules of water. If a modified Stern-type model of the plane interface is assumed, this interface will be composed of distinct adsorption sites, with counterions (cations) of finite size that can adsorb on these sites if the standard free energies of adsorption are favorable. If the anionic head group is more polarizable than water, as with carboxylic acids or phosphates, the hydration shell of the cation is incompletely filled, and the order of cation sizes near the interface is K+ > Na+ > Li+. When the polarizability of the anionic group is less than that of water, as with the sulfates, the lithium cation becomes the most hydrated one, and the order of cation sizes becomes Li+ > Na+ > K+. 

The first observation of the instability of carbohydrate orthoesters toward alkali came from Haworth, Hirst and Miller in connection with their experiments on the simultaneous deacetylation and methylation of L-rhamnose methyl 1,2-orthoacetate. These authors noticed that methylation by methyl iodide and silver oxide in the presence of solid sodium hydroxide resulted in the formation of crystalline methyl tri-methyl-/3-L-rhamnopyranoside. A similar result was obtained by Bott, Haworth and Hirst on the simultaneous deacetylation and methylation of triacetyl-D-mannose methyl 1,2-orthoacetate by the use of excessive quantities of dimethyl sulfate and alkali. The reaction produced a mixture of a. and /3 forms of methyl tetramethyl-D-mannopyranoside but the yield was only 40%. When the acetylated orthoester was submitted to methylation with silver oxide and methyl iodide in the presence of sodium hydroxide, the product was mainly trimethyl-rhamnose methyl 1,2-orthoacetate. This result indicates that for the alkaline hydrolysis of orthoesters, hydroxyl ions are necessary. Such ions are present in the dimethyl sulfate-alkali process, but are absent in the methyl iodide treatment except when the reaction mixture contains a little water either by accident or from the decomposition of the sugar molecule. Haworth, Hirst and Samuels examined the behavior of dimethyl-L-rhamnose methyl 1,2-orthoacetate in alkaline solution. When the substance was heated under various conditions with 0.1 A alkali at 70 there was no appreciable hydrolysis at the end of ninety minutes, whereas at 80 for... 

Considering, for example, the autoxidation of benzaldehyde, the formation of one molecule of benzoic or of perbenzoic acid involves combination with one or two atoms of oxygen, respectively. In the autoxidation of an alkali sulfite, each molecule of sulfate formed utilizes one bound atom of oxygen. Thus,- from the analyses, the oxidation yield, RO, is obtained and is -reported as the ratio (multiplied by 100 in order to make the comparison easier) of the amount of reacted oxygen in excess to the amount of ozone consumed.
