While the cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase reaction described in Eq. (1) often involves hydroxylation of carbon, many other reactions are catalyzed by these enzyme systems. These reactions include oxidation of nitrogen and sulfur, epoxidation, dehalogenation, oxidative deamination and desulfuration, oxidative N-, O-, and S-dealkylation, and peroxidative reactions (56). Under anaerobic conditions, the enzyme system will also catalyze reduction of azo, nitro, N-oxide, and epoxide functional groups, and these reductive reactions have been recently reviewed (56, 57). Furthermore, the NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase is capable of catalyzing reduction of quinones, quinonimines, nitro-aromatics, azoaromatics, bipyridyliums, and tetrazoliums (58). 

D Eha Camacho et al. (2011) proposed a novel concept using an assisted electrochemical reaction to produce atomic hydrogen from water electrolysis for different heterorganic compounds conversion. The electrochemical reactor is divided into two compartments by a palladium membrane in which atomic hydrogen is absorbed and permeated. Organic sulfur in the oil can be desulfurized and transformed to H2S in the electrochemical compartment. In addition, Lam et al. (2012) recently presented a review of electrochemical desulfurization technologies for fossil fuels. Various electrodes and electrolytes that have been used for desulfurization accomphshed by oxidation, reduction, or both were summarized by Lam et al. in their paper. Some electrochemical desulfurization processes for transportation fuels were chosen for listing in Table 14.2.

These new developments were motivated to a great extent by the societal and economic importance of gas-solid reaction systems due to their relevance for a broad range of processing operations, including iron oxide reduction, the combustion of solid fuels, the desulfurization of the fuel gases, and the incineration of solid wastes.

Dicarboxylic acids have been prepared by the stepwise acylation and Wolff-Kishner reduction of thiophene or di-2-thienylmethane with ester chlorides of dicarboxylic acids. Another method consists of the AICI3 catalyzed acylation of w-phenylalkylthiophenes which occurs both in the free thiophenic position and in the para position of the ring (226). Hypochlorite oxidation and desulfurization then give diacides such as (227)... 

The more generally known mercuric oxide-mercuric chloride hydrolysis 2 may also be used, and in the present case it gives a yield of about 90%. The reductive desulfurization of Part E is also based on the work of Mukaiyama.12 It is clearly superior to Raney nickel desulfurization, which gives only 36-45% of 3-benzylindole. 

A hydroxysulfoxide was desulfurized with Ra-Ni in MeOH for 30 minutes.400 Treatment with hydrogen in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ra-Ni in EtOH caused the desulfurization of a 2,6-anhydro-2-thio sugar, the reduction of an N-oxide, and the removal of benzyl and carbomethoxy groups at the...
