Group 16 elements hydrogen peroxide

Diborane followed by hydrogen peroxide has two effects on coumarins the carbonyl group is reduced to methylene and the elements of water are added across the 3,4-double bond in an anti-Markovnikov manner but the overall yield is usually low (Scheme 19) (70JOC2282). 

Methine dyes that contain a tellurine group are transformed by elemental halogens to 4H-tellurin 7e,7e-dihalides2, and by air or hydrogen peroxides to Te,re-dihydroxides 5. 

The other main group elements which form peroxo complexes are d6 and d8 systems in group VIII including iridium, palladium and platinum. The ji-peroxo complexes do not generally catalyse the epoxidation of olefins with hydrogen peroxide,95,96 but it has been found that trifluoromethyl-substituted Pd(II) and Pt(II) hydroperoxides will perform such a transformation.97... 

Elements of Group III and the n-butyl analogue, have been obtained by treating the dialkoxy-chloroborane with hydrogen peroxide in diethyl ether.216 A mechanism for the thermal decomposition to boric acid and B(OR)3 is postulated in which the first stage is homolytic cleavage of the O—O bond. 

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide on the surface of cobalt sulphide has been studied.35 An investigation of the kinetics of the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of the hydroxides of the Group III p, d, and f elements, and of the synthesis and properties of the peroxide products, has been carried out.36 The principal conclusions drawn from a combination of experimental and literature data were ... 

Systematic investigations of the stmctures and stabilities of a wide variety of other solids which contain hydrogen peroxide have been reported by Bogdanov and his co-workers compounds of group III elements [163], of sodium and potassium phosphates and arsenates [164], and of rubidium tungstates [165]. 

After Mo, vanadium is the second most abundant transition metal in the ocean and is certainly beneficial and probably essential for man. It is used in the form of a V prosthetic group in V-dependent haloperoxidases, which utilise hydrogen peroxide to oxidise a halide ion into a reactive electrophilic intermediate. There has been extensive debate as to whether a final transition metal ion is an essential trace element, as was originally proposed over 50 years ago — it has been widely accepted as an essential element for over 30 years. We discuss Mo and W together with V and Cr in Chapter 17. 

Main group elements such as Se, B, As, Al, and C carry out epoxidations with hydrogen peroxide and other oxidants such as persulfates. In this case, the oxygen atom transferred is the distal oxygen atom. 

Other inorganic reagents utilized in spectrophotometric methods are hydrogen peroxide (see determination of Ti, V, U, and Ce), SnCU ion (determination of platinum group elements [136]), iodide (see determination of Sb, Bi, and Pd), bromide (determination of Au), and also chloride and azide. 

Titanium silicalite (TS-1) is a porous crystalline titanium silicalite with the MFI structure, analogous to ZSM-5 [1], Catalytic centers are isolated Ti sites in a silica framework [4]. Unlike Ti02/Si02 with a similar elemental composition but an amorphous structure, TS-1 is an effective catalyst for the selective oxidation of different functional groups with dilute aqueous hydrogen peroxide [2]. The structural properties of lattice Ti sites, the hydrophobicity, and the size of the tridimensional channel system (ca 0.55 nm) are thought to be critical factors in determining the unusual catalytic properties of TS-1.
