Cuprous chloride, oxidation

In a 1 5 or 2-Utre rovmd-bottomed flask, prepare cuprous chloride from 105 g. of crystallised copper sulphate as detailed in Section 11,50,1. Either wash the precipitate once by decantation or filter it at the pump and wash it with water containing a httle sulphurous acid dissolve it in 170 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Stopper the flask loosely (to prevent oxidation) and cool it in an ice - salt mixture whilst the diazo-tisation is being carried out. 

METHOD 2 Without a doubt, this is the current world favorite for making P2Ps. This method is known as the Wacker oxidation and involves mixing safrole (or any other allylbenzene), palladium chloride, cuprous chloride and dimethylformamide in an oxygen atmosphere to get MD-P2P very quickly and in a totally clean manner [11, 12]. There s also a very nice review in ref. 13. 

Cuprous chloride, acid (for gas analysis, absorption of CO) cover the bottom of a 2-liter bottle with a layer of copper oxide % inch deep, and place a bundle of copper wire an inch thick in the bottle so that it extends from the top to the bottom. Fill the bottle with HCl (sp. gr. 1.10). The bottle is shaken occasionally, and when the solution is colorless or nearly so, it is poured into half-liter bottles containing copper wire. The large bottle may be filled with hydrochloric acid, and by adding the oxide or wire when either is exhausted, a constant supply of the reagent is available. 

Bronze disease necessitates immediate action to halt the process and remove the cause. For a long time, stabilization was sought by removal of the cuprous chloride by immersing the object in a solution of sodium sesquicarbonate. This process was, however, extremely time-consuming, frequentiy unsuccesshil, and often the cause of unpleasant discolorations of the patina. Objects affected by bronze disease are mostiy treated by immersion in, or surface appHcation of, 1 H-henzotriazole [95-14-7] C H N, a corrosion inhibitor for copper. A localized treatment is the excavation of cuprous chloride from the affected area until bare metal is obtained, followed by appHcation of moist, freshly precipitated silver oxide which serves to stabilize the chloride by formation of silver chloride. Subsequent storage in very dry conditions is generally recommended to prevent recurrence. 

Sta.rting from Phenol. Phenol can be selectively oxidized into -benzoquinone with oxygen. The reaction is catalyzed by cuprous chloride. At low catalyst concentration, the principal drawback of this method is the high pressure of oxygen that is required, leading to difficult safety procedures. It appears that a high concentration of the catalyst (50% of Cu(I)—phenol) allows the reaction to proceed at atmospheric pressure (58). 

Halophenols without 2,6-disubstitution do not polymerize under oxidative displacement conditions. Oxidative side reactions at the ortho position may consume the initiator or intermpt the propagation step of the chain process. To prepare poly(phenylene oxide)s from unsubstituted 4-halophenols, it is necessary to employ the more drastic conditions of the Ullmaim ether synthesis. A cuprous chloride—pyridine complex in 1,4-dimethoxybenzene at 200°C converts the sodium salt of 4-bromophenol to poly(phenylene oxide) (1) ... 

The palladium chloride process for oxidizing olefins to aldehydes in aqueous solution (Wacker process) apparendy involves an intermediate anionic complex such as dichloro(ethylene)hydroxopalladate(II) or else a neutral aqua complex PdCl2 (CH2=CH2)(H2 0). The coordinated PdCl2 is reduced to Pd during the olefin oxidation and is reoxidized by the cupric—cuprous chloride couple, which in turn is reoxidized by oxygen, and the net reaction for any olefin (RCH=CH2) is then... 

Nitrophenylarsonic acid has been prepared by heating p-nitrobenzenediazonium chloride with arsenious acid in hydrochloric acid, by the action of -nitrobenzenediazonium chloride on sodium arsenite, by the action of sodium arsenite on sodium -nitrobenzeneisodiazo oxide, by the diazotization of -nitro-aniline in acetic acid in the presence of arsenic chloride and cuprous chloride, and by the reaction of -nitrobenzenediazonium borofluoride with sodium arsenite in the presence of cuprous chloride. ...

The white cuprous chloride is washed once or twice by decantation and dissolved in a strong solution of ammonium chloride. When required a little ammonia is added sufficient to give a clear blue solution... 

Benzaldehyde.—The aldehydes of the aromatic seiies may also be obtained by the oxidation of a methyl side-chain with chromium oxychloride. The solid brown product, C,H,.CH.)(CrO,CL)2, formed by adding C1O2CIJ to toluene, dissolved in carbon bisulphide, is decomposed with water, and benzaldehyde sepaiates out (Etard). Other methods for pie-paring aromatic aldehydes are (i) the Fiiedel-Crafts reaction, in which a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride aie passed into the hydrocaibon in presence of aluminium chloride and a little cuprous chloride,... 

Conjugate addition of methyl magnesium iodide in the presence of cuprous chloride to the enone (91) leads to the la-methyl product mesterolone (92) Although this is the thermodynamically unfavored axially disposed product, no possibility for isomerization exists in this case, since the ketone is once removed from this center. In an interesting synthesis of an oxa steroid, the enone (91) is first oxidized with lead tetraacetate the carbon at the 2 position is lost, affording the acid aldehyde. Reduction of this intermediate, also shown in the lactol form, with sodium borohydride affords the steroid lactone oxandrolone...

Instead of copper one can use zinc, iron, stannous chloride, or cuprous chloride, the last-named two being oxidized to stannic and cupric chloride respectively. The reactions are carried out at low temperature ( — 10 to — 20°C) in acetone or ethyl acetate (Nesmeyanov et al., 1934 a).

Chemical precipitations which are not dependent on pH are used in various processes. Sometimes the reagent is reasonably set for a certain metal and this is the situation in the precipitation of silver as silver chloride. The only other insoluble common metal chlorides of significance are lead chloride, cuprous chloride, and mercurous chloride. This implies that precipitation of cuprous and mercurous chlorides generally may be avoided by ensuring that the metals occur in their higher oxidation states, cupric and mercuric states. The separation of silver in its chloride form is rarely employed for bulk precipitation, but is quite useful for removing relatively small amounts of the metal when it occurs in minor amounts.

An attempt to directly convert hyellazole (245) to 6-chlorohyellazole (246) by reaction with N-chlorosuccinimide in the presence of a catalytic amount of hydrochloric acid led exclusively to 4-chlorohyellazole. On the other hand, bromination of 245 using NBS and a catalytic amount of hydrobromic acid gave only the expected 6-bromohyellazole (733). Alternatively, a direct one-pot transformation of the iron complex 725 to 6-bromohyellazole (733) was achieved by reaction with an excess of NBS and switching from oxidative cyclization conditions (basic reaction medium) to electrophilic substitution conditions (acidic reaction medium). Finally, a halogen exchange reaction with 4 equivalents of cuprous chloride in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at reflux, transformed 6-bromohyellazole (733) into 6-chlorohyellazole (246) (602) (Scheme 5.73).
