Alkenes aridity

Oxidative reactions of dienes are accomplished under similar conditions as those of alkenes. Abicyclic diene synthesized from hexafluorobenzene and 1,2-di-chloroethylene is monoepoxidized by triflnoroperoxyacetic arid [43] (equation 35). 

Low-molecular-weight ozonides are explosive and are therefore never isolated. Instead, ozonides are further treated with a reducing agent such as zinc metal in acetic arid to convert them to carbonyl compounds. The net result of the ozonolysis/reduction sequence is that the C-C bond is cleaved, and oxygen becomes doubly bonded to each of the original alkene carbons. If an alkene with a tetrasubstituted double bond is ozonized, two ketone fragments result if an alkene with a trisubstituted double bond is ozonized, one ketone and one aldehyde result and so on. 

This study was undertaken to test the ability of our previous molecular connectivity models to accurately predict the soil sorption coefficients, bioconcentration factors, and acute toxicities in fish of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), alkylbenzenes, alkenylbenzenes, chlorobenzenes, polychlorinated biphenyls, chlorinated alkanes and alkenes, heterocyclic arid substituted PAHs, and halogenated phenols. Tests performed on large groups of such compounds clearly demonstrate that these simple nonempirical models accurately predict the soil sorption coefficients, bioconcentration factors, and acute toxicities in fish of the above compounds. Moreover, they outperform traditional empirical models based on 1-octanol/ water partition coefficients or water solubilities in accuracy, speed, and range of applicability. These results show that the molecular connectivity models are a very accurate predictive tool for the soil sorption coefficients, bioconcentration factors, and acute toxicities in fish of a wide range of organic chemicals and that it can be confidently used to rank potentially hazardous chemicals and thus to create a priority testing list. ...
