Neutral oil consists of unreacted alkenes, alkanes, secondary alcohol byproducts, sulfonate esters, and sultones. Calculation of the concentration of neutral oil present in AOS, taken together with separate determinations for alkenes and alcohols (see below) and nonvolatile material (determined by residue on evaporation), can be used as a measure of the completeness of the sulfona-tion reaction. 

The procedure for determination of neutral oils in AOS measures petroleum spirit-extractable material from an aqueous alcoholic solution. Normally a solution of 1 1 ethanol/water is used as to dissolve the sample prior to extraction. For higher molecular weight materials 2 1 propan-2-ol/water is preferred. The petroleum ether is removed on a steambath and finally under vacuum. The amount of neutral oil is then determined gravimetrically. Due to the slight volatility of alkenes, alkanes, and alcohols, especially in the C,2 materials, the neutral oil tends to be underestimated by these procedures.

Carboxylic acids are oxidized by lead tetraacetate. Decarboxylation occurs and the product may be an alkene, alkane or acetate ester, or under modified conditions a halide. A free radical mechanism operates and the product composition depends on the fate of the radical intermediate.267 The reaction is catalyzed by cupric salts, which function by oxidizing the intermediate radical to a carbocation (Step 3b in the mechanism). Cu(II) is more reactive than Pb(OAc)4 in this step. 

We conclude the above methodical discussion by giving a few details of the calculation (with the help of our alkene/alkane force field (19)) of conformational transitions of cyclohexane (39).

The l-alkene/2-alkene ratio for the C4 hydrocarbon fraction is presented in Figure 7.13e, while the alkene/(alkene + alkane) fractions for the C2 hydrocarbon products from FTS for unpromoted a-I c203 and promoted catalysts are... 

The major use of H202 as an oxidant arises from its ability to insert an oxygen atom in an organic molecule (alkene, alkane, aromatic hydrocarbon, etc.) in the presence of some catalysts. In reactions using H202 as an oxidant, the type of... 

Krishnamoorty et al.4S studied FTS over a 12.7Co/Si02 and reported alkene alk-ane ratios for the C5 and C8 fractions during kinetic experiments and with water addition. Water addition increased the alkene alkane ratio at both carbon numbers, and the authors point to the rates of the formation of the various hydrocarbons ... 

Co-containing POMs have been found to be among the most efficient catalysts for homogeneous aerobic oxidation and co-oxidation processes [91-93]. This prompted many researchers to design solid Co-POM-containing materials [78,94-100]. Thus, various Co-POMs have been deposited on cotton cloth [94] and silica [100], datively [95] or electrostatically [96,97] bonded to NH2-modified silica surfaces (vide infra) as well as intercalated in LDHs [78,98,99]. The resulting materials were successfully used for aerobic oxidation of aldehydes, alkenes, alkanes, alcohols and some other organic substrates. 

At higher temperatures, C—H and C—C bonds may be similarly broken. Thus, zeolite catalysts may be used for (i) alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons (cf. the Friedel-Crafts reactions with AICI3 as the Lewis acid catalyst), (ii) cracking of hydrocarbons (i.e., loss of H2), and (Hi) isomerization of alkenes, alkanes, and alkyl aromatics.

Before proceeding further, it will be well to reiterate what an alkane is, lest you be confused as to the difference between alkanes and alkenes. Alkanes are compounds of carbon and hydrogen only, without double bonds, triple...
