Dioxygen production

With higher alkenes, three kinds of products, namely alkenyl acetates, allylic acetates and dioxygenated products are obtained[142]. The reaction of propylene gives two propenyl acetates (119 and 120) and allyl acetate (121) by the nucleophilic substitution and allylic oxidation. The chemoselective formation of allyl acetate takes place by the gas-phase reaction with the supported Pd(II) and Cu(II) catalyst. Allyl acetate (121) is produced commercially by this method[143]. Methallyl acetate (122) and 2-methylene-1,3-diacetoxypropane (123) are obtained in good yields by the gas-phase oxidation of isobutylene with the supported Pd catalyst[144]. 

An oxygen-saturated acetonitrile solution of l,l,2,2-tetramesityl-l,2-disilirane 82a was irradiated to give dioxygenated product, 3,3,5,5-tetramesityl-l,2-dioxa-3,5-disilolane 83a, and monooxygenated product, 3,3,5,5-tetramesityl-l,3-cyclodisiloxane 84a, in 75 and 25% yields, respectively. Similar results were obtained with 2,2,3,3-tetrakis(2,6-diisopropyl-phenyl)oxadisilirane 82b and 2,2,3,3-tetrakis(2,6-diethylphenyl)oxadisilirane 82c, affording the corresponding l,2,4-trioxa-3,5-disilolanes 83b and 83c (equation 90) . ... 

Oxidative functionalization of imidazoles is typically not preparatively useful. However, an optimized procedure for direct peracid oxidation of azoles to N-hydroxyazoles was reported [95JCS(P1)243], with imidazoles affording dioxygenated products. In contrast, imidazoles are conveniently converted to imidazole-2-thiones with phenyl chlorothionoformate [95SL239]. 

The bacterial photosystem functions without dioxygen production which simplifies the task at hand. Namely, electrons are obtained from more easily oxidized terminal electron donors such as H2S instead of water. Nonetheless, the basic design needed to transform solar energy into stored chemical energy is present. The protein subunits and cofactors that comprise the photosystem in purple bacteria, such as Rhodobacter (Rb.) sphaeroides and Rhodopseudomonas (Rps.) viridis,33 are shown schematically in Fig. 1 which is based on a crystal structure of this assembly.34... 

In the presence of excess HOOH, the Fe (MeCN)4 + catalyst forms a reactive adduct (14) that reacts with diphenylbenzofuran, arylalkenes, 9,10-diphenylanthracene, or rubrene to form exclusively dioxygenated products (Table 9). Such reactivities parallel those of dioxygenases with this group of substrates. 

In some of the studies on the vinyl acetate synthesis from ethylene, high boiling products were reported (9, 10, 24, 25, 26). These included ethylidene diacetate (III), ethylene glycol monoacetate (IV) and ethylene glycol diacetate (V). Little attention has been given to the reactions by which these products are formed. No dioxygenated products have been reported previously when higher olefins have been used. 

However, the activity of TS-1 in the oxidation of benzene appeared to be very poor. TS-1 does not perform very well in two-phase systems, so that only solvents able to homogenize the hydrophobic substrate and the aqueous hydrogen peroxide can be used. Even in this case, using solvents such as acetone, acetonitrile or tert-butanol, the selectivity to phenol rapidly dropped at very low benzene conversion, mainly due to the formation of dioxygenated products and tars typically, selectivity was already less than 50% at benzene conversion as low as 5%. Even worse results were obtained using methanol, which was oxidized in competition with benzene to give formaldehyde dimethyl acetal. 

Sensitized photo-oxidation of 2-aryl-3,5-dimethyl-2//-l,2-thiazine 1,1-dioxides (398) gives 5,6-dioxygenated products (399) these compounds are... 

The fact that many published homochiral intermediates lack any functionality at the future 7-position makes these less than ideal for the efficient synthesis of aglycones. Kishi has developed a synthesis of 11-deoxyanthracyclinones in which both 7- and 9-hydroxyl functions are introduced stereoselectively during the construction of ring-A. Thus asymmetric crossed aldol reaction of the acetal 193 with 194 gave a 17 1 mixture of 195 and its C-7 epimer. Base catalysed cyclisation followed by removal of the C-10 ester function yielded the trans-dioxygenated product 197. This was epimerised to give an 8 1 mixture of 198... 

From higher alkenes, three kinds of products, namely alkenyl acetates, allylic acetates and dioxygenated products, are obtained. Reaction of propylene gives two propenyl acetates 77 and 78 and allyl acetate (79) by acetoxypalladation to form two intermediates 75 and 76, followed by elimination of different jS-hydrogens. 

The observed kinetic regularities (Figs. 5, and 6 Table 1) seems to be due to (Fe(ni,II)(acac)J -(18K6) complexes and dioxygenation products formations.
