One of the leading tendencies in chemistry of nanomaterials is their modification for obtaining new properties. Halogenation as one of efficient methods of modification is of great interest because both chlorine- and fluoro- derivatives should serve molecular intermediates for further modification. Chemical transformations of the attached functional groups give the base for the creation of principally new spatial structures based on carbonic nanomaterials.

The third approach is useful when the spiropyran itself (or, more correctly, its intermediates) is easily available, the necessary substituted intermediates are not, and the spiropyran tolerates the chemical transformations involved. Halogenation and nitration of BIPS and spiro(dinaphthopyrans) can be carried out by standard methods bromo substituents replaced by cyano or lithium, nitro substituents reduced to amino, etc. For example, the aldehyde group in 6-formylBIPS can be reduced, oxidized, caused to react with organometallics, condensed with active methylene groups, converted to cyano, and derivatized to give a wide variety of 6-substituted BIPS. These reactions cannot be usefully carried out directly on 5-formylsalicylal-... 

Dehydrothyrsiferol (3), an analogue of thyrsiferol (1), was the next marine metabolite discovered from Laurencia. In an effort to assess halogen-based secondary metabolite synthesis, Norte and co-workers isolated compound 3 in 1984 as a white crystalline solid [6]. This natural product was found in Laurencia pinnatifida located on the Cannary Islands of Spain. Its chemical structure was verified via chemical transformation into thyrsiferol (1). 

The reactivity of Ceo is that of a fairly localized electron deficient polyolefin. The main type of chemical transformations are therefore additions to the [6-6] double bonds, especially, nucleophilic-, radical-and cycloadditions and the formation of tj -transition metal complexes but also, for example, hydroborations and hydrome-talations, hydro-genations, halogenations and Lewis acid complex formations are possible. 

The chemical transformation of iodine overlaps with the chemistry of other halogen sspecies, chlorine and bromine. 

For different classes of reactions, such as polymerisation, copolymerisation, hydrocarbon halogenation, and others, propagation of waves of chemical transformations may be observed, even at very low temperatures (4K-77K) (/). 

Microstructured devices have been successfully used for the continuous processing of fast and highly exothermic reactions [28] and chemical transformations involving toxic, sensitive, and explosive chemicals such as nitration [29], hydrogenations [30, 31], polymerization [32, 33], oxidation [34], halogenations [4], alkylation [35], tetrazole synthesis [36], and reaction of diazomethane [37].

Fluid-fluid systems are widely used for chemical transformations. Examples are halogenations, hydrogenations, and hydroformylations for gas-liquid reactions and nitrations, polymerizations, and cyclization for liquid-liquid systems. In addition, two-phase slug flow reactors can be used to get narrow residence time distribution at low liquid Reynolds numbers as demonstrated in chapter 3. Most of the reactions mentioned above are highly exothermic and heat evacuation is an important issue for efficient temperature control. 

Polymer functionalization by ATRP can be achieved by using functional initiators and monomers and the chemical transformation of the halogen end groups. These routes are summarized in reactions 21-23. 

Norris in his pioneering article described also some chemical transformations of 5-trifluoromethyltetrazole 96 [92], For instance, the alkylation of anion 97 with methyl iodide resulted in regioisomeric N-methyl-5-trifluoromethyltetrazoles 106, 107 with 2-methyl isomer 107 prevailing. Also a direct halogenation was performed... 

The most noteworthy limitation to this approach is the complexity and multi-functionality that exist in these waste streams. For example, a bleached kraft pulp mill is estimated to produce greater than 400 compounds including tannins, resins, and lignin degradation products (5). However, as only a relatively small number of chemical transformations offer benefits to an end-user, i.e. polymerisation, selective oxidation or reduction, C-H bond activation, and carbon-halogen bond cleavage, the problem is simplified to some extent.
