By halogens

The transformation of a carbon-tellurium bond into a carbon-halogen bond has been achieved in several types of organotellurium compound. 

By treatment of (Z)-2-chlorovinyltellurium trichlorides, easily obtained by addition of tellurium tetrachloride to phenylacetylenes (see Section 3.16.2.1), with 1-2 mol equiv of iodine or Af-bromosuccinimide-aluminium trichloride, a halogenodetelluration occurs, generating the corresponding (Z)-iodo- or (Z)-bromochloroalkenes. ° 

The chloroteUuration-iododetelluration of propargyl alcohol proceeds analogously. 

This two-step procedure therefore offers a useful method for the iyn-iodo and syn-bromochlorination of acetylenes. 

Similar bromodetellurations afford o, 2-dibromo derivatives as the main product (formed by a further bromination of the primary p-bromo derivative under Te(IV) catalysis). The addition of F ions is unnecessary.

Colourless crystals m.p. I25°C, soluble in water and alcohol. In aqueous solution forms equilibrium with its lactones. Gluconic acid is made by the oxidation of glucose by halogens, by electrolysis, by various moulds or by bacteria of the Acetobacter groups. 

In aqueous solution arsenic(lll) oxide is a reducing agent being oxidised to arsenate(V) by halogens, chlorate(I), nitric acid and even iron(III) chloride. 

Crystalline silicon has a metallic luster and grayish color. Silicon is a relatively inert element, but it is attacked by halogens and dilute alkali. Most acids, except hydrofluoric, do not affect it. Elemental silicon transmits more than 95% of all wavelengths of infrared, from 1.3 to 6.y... 

Ruthenium is a hard, white metal and has four crystal modifications. It does not tarnish at room temperatures, but oxidizes explosively. It is attacked by halogens, hydroxides, etc. Ruthenium can be plated by electrodeposition or by thermal decomposition methods. The metal is one of the most effective hardeners for platinum and palladium, and is alloyed with these metals to make electrical contacts for severe wear resistance. A ruthenium-molybdenum alloy is said to be... 

Platinum is a beautiful silvery-white metal, when pure, and is malleable and ductile. It has a coefficient of expansion almost equal to that of soda-lime-silica glass, and is therefore used to make sealed electrodes in glass systems. The metal does not oxidize in air at any temperature, but is corroded by halogens, cyanides, sulfur, and caustic alkalis.

There are a wide variety of methods for introduction of substituents at C3. Since this is the preferred site for electrophilic substitution, direct alkylation and acylation procedures are often effective. Even mild electrophiles such as alkenes with EW substituents can react at the 3-position of the indole ring. Techniques for preparation of 3-lithioindoles, usually by halogen-metal exchange, have been developed and this provides access not only to the lithium reagents but also to other organometallic reagents derived from them. The 3-position is also reactive toward electrophilic mercuration. 

Mercurated thiazoles also yield 5-halothiazoles by the replacement of Hg by halogen. 

All possible dichloro- or dibromothiazoles are known. The 2.5-dihalogeno derivatives can be prepared from the 5-halogeno-2-aminothiazoles by diazotization/decomposition with CuCl or CuBr (3, 12, 13, 18, 75). The 5-halogeno-2-aminothiazoles can be easily prepared by halogenation of 2-aminothiazole (65, 76-79) 2,5-dibromothiazole can also be prepared by direct bromination of 2-bromothiazole (5). 

The 2,4-isomers can be obtained by halogenation of 2,4-di-hydroxythiazole by POCI3 or POBrj in pyridine (3).

Various halogenating agents have been used to replace hydroxyl with chlorine or bromine. Phosphoms trihaUdes, especially in the presence of pyridine, are particularly suitable (17,18). Propargyl iodide is easily prepared from propargyl bromide by halogen exchange (19). 

A second mole of halogen adds with greater difficulty oxidative side reactions can be minimised by halogenating an ester instead of the free alcohol (26). 

Fused sHica and Pyrex glass (qv) are not significantly attacked by halogen fluorides up to 100°C if HF is absent. 

Both ( )- and (Z)-l-halo-l-alkenes can be prepared by hydroboration of 1-alkynes or 1-halo-l-alkynes followed by halogenation of the intermediate boronic esters (244,245). Differences in the addition—elimination mechanisms operating in these reactions lead to the opposite configurations of iodides as compared to bromides and chlorides. 

Each of these intermediates can be hthiated in the 2-position in good yield. The reactivity toward hthiation is due to the inductive effect of the nitrogen atom and coordination by oxygen from the N-substituent. A wide variety of electrophiles can then carry out substitution at the 2-position. Lithiation at other positions on the ring can be achieved by halogen—metal exchange 3-hthio and 5-hthioindoles have also been used as reactive intermediates. 

Controlled halogenation can be achieved by halogenation of the A/-acetyl derivative of the aromatic amine, followed by hydrolysis of the acetyl...

Zirconium tetrabromide [13777-25-8] ZrBr, is prepared direcdy from the elements or by the reaction of bromine on a mixture of zirconium oxide and carbon. It may also be made by halogen exchange between the tetrachloride and aluminum bromide. The physical properties are given in Table 7. The chemical behavior is similar to that of the tetrachloride. 

Zirconium tetraiodide [13986-26-0], Zrl, is prepared directly from the elements, by the reaction of iodine on zirconium carbide, or by halogen exchange with aluminum triiodide. The reaction of iodine with zirconium oxide and carbon does not proceed. The physical properties are given in Table 7. 

A convenient laboratory method for the preparation of BCl is by the reaction of AlCl and BF or BF (47—49). More recently a patent describing the preparation of BCl by halogenating B(OH)2 or esters of B(OH)2 using an excess of the oxychloride of S or P in the presence of a dessicant and catalytic amounts of Fe, Co, or Ni, at temperatures below 100°C was issued (50). This process eliminates formation of carbonic dichloride [75-44-5] ...

Aromatic compounds may be chlorinated with chlorine in the presence of a catalyst such as iron, ferric chloride, or other Lewis acids. The halogenation reaction involves electrophilic displacement of the aromatic hydrogen by halogen. Introduction of a second chlorine atom into the monochloro aromatic stmcture leads to ortho and para substitution. The presence of a Lewis acid favors polarization of the chlorine molecule, thereby increasing its electrophilic character. Because the polarization does not lead to complete ionization, the reaction should be represented as shown in equation 26. 

The determination of iodine value (IV), AOCS Tg 1-64, is sometimes used to determine the extent of unsaturation. Because the tertiary aUyflc hydrogen ia the compounds is capable of substitution by halogen atoms, this only approximates a value for the degree of unsaturation.
