Ammonium compounds olefinic

Synthesis and Manufacture of Amines. The chemical and busiaess segments of amines (qv) and quaternaries are so closely linked that it is difficult to consider these separately. The majority of commercially produced amines origiaate from three amine raw materials natural fats and oils, a-olefins, and fatty alcohols. Most large commercial manufacturers of quaternary ammonium compounds are fully back-iategrated to at least one of these three sources of amines. The amines are then used to produce a wide array of commercially available quaternary ammonium compounds. Some iadividual quaternary ammonium compounds can be produced by more than one synthetic route. 

Lee and Chang (1978) have compared the ability of linear polyethers, crown ethers, and quaternary ammonium compounds to catalyse oxidations with KMn04 under liquid-liquid and liquid-solid conditions. In the presence of acetic acid as a scavenger for the KOH produced, the products of olefin oxidation were carboxylic acids, diones, diols and ketols. The three different classes of catalysts exhibited about the same activity in liquid-solid systems.

Hofmann degradation usually occurs with -elimination (El reaction). Wittig and Polster85 86 discovered a variant in which quaternary ammonium compounds are converted by strong bases such as phenyl- or butyl-lithium into olefins, by way of ylides, with intramolecular cw-elimination 87...

Quaternary alkylammonium salts, tertiary amines, and crown ethers have all been utilized as catalysts in the reaction of hydroxide with chloroform to yield dichlorocarbene. The most commonly utilized catalyst has been benzyltriethylammonium chloride (see Sect. 1.7) but other quaternary ammonium chloride catalysts have proved effective. Cetyltrimethylammonium chloride and tricaprylmethylammonium chloride (Aliquat 336) have both been used effectively in the cyclopropanation of simple alkenes. The use of Z e a-hydroxyethyltrialkylammonium hydroxides as phase transfer catalysts results in increased regioselectivity in the addition of dichlorocarbene to olefins [12]. Crown ethers such as dibenzo and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 have both been utilized in place of quaternary ammonium compounds. 18-Crown-6 has also been used as a catalyst in the phase transfer thermal decomposition of sodium trichloroacetate to yield dichlorocarbene [13]. 

Arsenic Peroxides. Arsenic peroxides have not been isolated however, elemental arsenic, and a great variety of arsenic compounds, have been found to be effective catalysts ia the epoxidation of olefins by aqueous hydrogen peroxide. Transient peroxoarsenic compounds are beheved to be iavolved ia these systems. Compounds that act as effective epoxidation catalysts iaclude arsenic trioxide, arsenic pentoxide, arsenious acid, arsenic acid, arsenic trichloride, arsenic oxychloride, triphenyl arsiae, phenylarsonic acid, and the arsenates of sodium, ammonium, and bismuth (56). To avoid having to dispose of the toxic residues of these reactions, the arsenic can be immobi1i2ed on a polystyrene resia (57). 

The kinetic preference for cis- over imns-olefin elimination from acyclic compounds is rare. Cope and co-workers 91) reported a slight preference for cis- over irans-2-butene and 2-pentene in the thermal decomposition of the quaternary ammonium hydroxides, and Andr u and co-workers 92,93) found a preponderance of cis- over trons-2-butene in the elimination of hydrogen chloride from 2-chlorobutane over solid catalysts. Neureiter and Bordwell 94) found the formation of cis-2-butene rather than alkene from a-chlorosulfone on treatment with alkali ...

Ceric ammonium nitrate is used as a volumetric oxidizing reagent in many oxidation-reduction titrations. Cerium(IV) ion is a strong oxidant simdar to permanganate ion. It is the most widely-used primary standard among all Ce(IV) compounds. Other apphcations of this compound are in organic oxidation reactions and as a catalyst in polymerization of olefins.

Divalent and tetravalent Pt probably form as many complexes as any other metal. The platinum(II) complexes are numerous with IV. S, halogens, and C. The letranitritoplatinum complexes are soluble in basic solution. Tetranitntoplatinum(II) ion is formed when a solution of plat-inum(II) chloride is boiled, at about neutral pH, with an excess of NaNO f. The ammonium salt may explode when heated. Generally, platinum-metal nitrites should be destroyed in solution. They never should be heated in the dry form. Pladnum(II) complexes most often have a coordination number of 4. Many compounds have been prepared with olefins, cyanides, nitriles, halides, isonitnles, amines, phosphines, arsines, and nitro compounds.
