HIGHER CARBONYLS

Many analytical techniques have been developed specifically for the analysis of engine exhaust gases with major emphasis having been placed on procedures for organic peroxides, hydrogen peroxide, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, higher carbonyl compounds, acids, and various hydrocarbon compounds (31, 36, Jfi, 64, S3, 84, 105). The mass spectrometer also has been used successfully (100). 

It should also be mentioned that at high carbon monoxide pressures (270-430 atm) a higher carbonyl Co2(CO)9 was formed from Co2(CO)8 (98), but it seems unlikely that this would play any role under Oxo conditions. 

The extent of oxidation can also be assessed by the analysis of oxidized fatty acids by spectroscopic means such as IR and NMR techniques (102). Moreover, GC-MS for volatile profile analysis (103) and HPLC for determination of DNPH derivatives of nonvolatile higher carbonyl compounds (62) provide qualitative... 

The title compound was initially synthesized by the pyrolysis of Re3H3(CO)i2 at 190° in hydrocarbon solution. Treatment of the complex with carbon monoxide at atmospheric pressure gradually converts it into higher carbonyls, as indicated in the reaction sequence below. At slightly elevated temperatures, the reaction is much faster and hydrogen is evolved. The suggestion that the reverse transformation might be possible led to the current synthesis. The direct hydro-... 

One possible way in which an aggregate could bring about neurotoxicity would be through mediation of radical formation. In PD elevated membrane peroxidation products, increased 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, lower content of polyunsaturated fatty acids and higher carbonyl-content of proteins, indicate an increased ROS-level [68]. 

There are more exotic classes of volatile inorganic compounds like higher carbonyls, anhydrous nitrates or borohydrides. However, their use would probably bring... 

This reaction is the sole fate of small alkoxy radicals. Larger alkoxy radicals can undergo other reactions these need not be considered at this point. The correspondence of the RO + 02 reaction to the CH30 + 02 reaction is evident, where HCHO is the carbonyl product of the latter reaction. The higher carbonyl R CHO can, in general, continue to be oxidized.

Rh(CO)2Cl]2 with excess Fe(CO)5 in boiling methanol in an open vessel at atmospheric pressure results in a 64% yield of RheCCOig. Finally, Rhg(CO)i0, rather than a higher carbonyl of rhodivoti such as Rh2(C0)g, is formed by the carbonylation of Phi (CO) 12 220°C... 

There is conjecture about the existence and identity of a moiety secondary to the C-6 carboxylic acid group due to the disparity between carboxyl titration and carbon dioxide generated from oxidized cellulose. While carboxyl titration measures the carboxylic acid content of the oxidized cellulose, the carbon dioxide generated reflects the total carbonyl moieties. The carbon dioxide method results in a higher carbonyl content than is reflected in the carboxyl titration method (Unruh et al., 1947). ... 

Clearly, a more convenient way is required. Beside the usual reducing agents, boranes have infrequently been used in this respect with transition elements although they are easy to handle and very oxophilic. We reacted [ TcOJ with BHj-THF under 1 atm of CO and in the presence of Cl as a potential counterion. At room temperature and after a relatively short time period, the complex [ TcCl3(CO)3] could be isolated in good yield [29, 30]. The reaction pathway is unclear since no intermediates could be authenticated. With the exception of minor amounts of [TcH(CO)4]3 no higher carbonyl complexes were found or isolated [30]. The Jac-[Tc(CO)3] moiety is thermodynamically the most stable unit, since any additional CO trans to another CO is labile and readily cleaved. The reaction mechanism at this point still remains unclear since the CO concentration in solution requires delicate control and other complexes might be present as well to explain the reaction pathway. 

Fusion of additional rings as in bridged cyclic structures usually leads to an increase in ring strain, so that higher carbonyl frequencies than usual result [171, 172].
