Treatment with PCI5 gives phthalyl chloride reduction with zinc and ethanoic acid or NaOH gives phthalide. Fusion with urea gives phthalimide.

Chloride Reductant. Processes prior to 1945 used hydrochloric acid as both the acid and reducing agent. Hydrochloric acid is oxidized to chlorine gas and chlorate is reduced to chlorine dioxide. The overall stoichiometry produces a 2 1 molar ratio of chlorine dioxide to chlorine. Sodium chloride is a by-product ... 

Guaiacols. Cresote, obtained from the pyrolysis of beechwood, and its active principles guaiacol [90-05-1] (1) and cresol [93-51-6] (2) have long been used ia expectorant mixtures. The compounds are usually classed as direct-acting or stimulant expectorants, but their mechanisms of action have not been well studied. Cresol is obtained by the Clemmensen reduction of vanillin (3), whereas guaiacol can be prepared by a number of methods including the mercuric oxide oxidation of lignin (qv) (4), the ziac chloride reduction of acetovanillone (5), and the diazotization and hydrolysis of o-anisidine (6). 

Section 5.10.3.2). Treatment of methyl 6-phthalimido penicillinate (jR)-sulfoxide (40) with JV-chlorosuccinimide in refluxing carbon tetrachloride gives an epimeric mixture of sulfinyl chlorides (41) which are ring closed to epimeric 3-methylenecepham sulfoxides (42a) using tin(IV) chloride. Reduction with phosphorus tribromide gives the desired methyl 7-phthalimido-3-methylenecepham 4-carboxylate (42b). 

The azidohydrins obtained by azide ion opening of epoxides, except for those possessing a tertiary hydroxy group, can be readily converted to azido mesylates on treatment with pyridine/methanesulfonyl chloride. Reduction and subsequent aziridine formation results upon reaction with hydrazine/ Raney nickel, lithium aluminum hydride, or sodium borohydride/cobalt(II)... 

Tin(II) chloride reduction of both 4-chloro-3-nitro-l,8-naphthyridine (129, R = Cl) (79PJC1665) and 3-nitro-l,8-naphthyridine (129, R = H) (76S691) gave in 30-35% yield 3-amino-l,8-naphthyridine (130, R = H) reduction of the 4-amino-3-nitro compound (129, R = NH2) yielded 3,4-diamino-l,8-naphthyridine (130, R = NH2,37%) (79PJC1665). 

The lithium aluminum hydride-aluminum chloride reduction of ketones is closely related mechanistically to the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction in that the initially formed alkoxide complex is allowed to equilibrate between isomers in the... 

The mechanism of ester (and lactone) reduction is similar to that of acid chloride reduction in that a hydride ion first adds to the carbonyl group, followed by elimination of alkoxide ion to yield an aldehyde. Further reduction of the aldehyde gives the primary alcohol.

Another chloride reduction process, originally developed by Hunter for titanium tetrachloride and known by his name, uses sodium as the reductant. In this process liquid sodium and titanium tetrachloride are simultaneously metered into a steel retort under an argon atmosphere. The highly exothermic reduction reaction...

Gill and Fitzgerald [481] determined picomolar quantities of mercury in seawater using stannous chloride reduction and two-stage amalgamation with gas-phase detection. The gas flow system used two gold-coated bead columns (the collection and the analytical columns) to transfer mercury into the gas cell of an atomic absorption spectrometer. By careful control and estimation of the blank, a detection limit of 0.21 pM was achieved using 21 of seawater. The accuracy and precision of this method were checked by comparison with aqueous laboratory and National Bureau of Standards (NBS) reference materials spiked into acidified natural water samples at picomolar levels. Further studies showed that at least 88% of mercury in open ocean and coastal seawater consisted of labile species which could be reduced by stannous chloride under acidic conditions. 

Watling [491] has described an analytical technique for the accurate determination of mercury at picogram per litre levels in fresh and seawater. Mercury, released by tin (II) chloride reduction of water samples is amalgamated onto silver wool contained in quartz amalgamation tubes. The wool is then heated and the mercury thus released is flushed by argon into a plasma where it is excited. The emission signal thus produced results in a detection limit of 3 x 10 17 g and an analytical range 1 x 10 14 g-1 x 10"7 g.

Phenylacetyl chloride and hydrocin-namoyl chloride are reduced at mercury to form both acyl radicals and acyl anions as intermediates [76]. From electrolyses of phenylacetyl chloride, the products include 1,4-diphenyl-2-butene-2,3-diol diphenylac-etate, phenylacetaldehyde, toluene, 1,3-diphenylacetone, and l,4-diphenyl-2,3-butanediol, and analogous species arise from the reduction of hydrocinnamoyl chloride. Reduction of phthaloyl dichloride is a more complicated system [77] the electrolysis products are phthalide, biph-thalyl, and 3-chlorophthalide, but the latter compound undergoes further reduction to give phthalide, biphthalyl, and dihydrobi-phthalide. 

Deng et al. (1997) studied the reaction of metallic iron powder (5 g 40 mesh) and vinyl chloride (15.0 mL) under anaerobic conditions at various temperatures. In the experiments, the vials containing the iron and vinyl chloride were placed on a roller drum set at 8 rpm. Separate reactions were performed at 4, 20, 32, and 45 °C. The major degradate produced was ethylene. Degradation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The rate of degradation increased as the temperature increased. Based on the estimated activation energy for vinyl chloride reduction of 40 kilojoules/mol, the investigators concluded that the overall rate of reaction was controlled at the surface rather than the solution.
