ANHYDRONE (10034-81-8) A powerful oxidizer. Potentially violent or explosive reaction with reducing agents, alcohols, ammonia gas, argon (wet), butyl fluorides, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene oxide, fluorobutane (wet), fuels, hydrazines, hydrocarbons, mineral acids, powdered metals, organic matter, phosphorus, trimethyl phosphite. Mixture with ethanol forms explosive ethyl perchlorate. Incompatible with alkenes, and many other materials. Shock may cause magnesium perchlorate to explode.

N204 also forms expl mixts with incompletely halogenated hydrocarbons, NGu, carbon disulfide, etc (Ref 33). The effect of spontaneous decompn by oxidation-reduction reactions when N204 is mixed with a number of fuels (hydrazine, gasoline, liq paraffin, etc) has resulted in its extensive use in liq propint rocket engines (Refs 12, 22, 27 35)... 

Enzymatic transformations of alkaloids by peroxidases most probably occur by single-step oxidations catalyzed by the HRP-I and HRP-II forms of the enzyme. The catalysis of one-electron oxidations of compounds containing aromatic hydrocarbon, hydrazine, phenol, hydroxamic acid, and amine functional groups has been recently reviewed (45, 58, 82). A brief summary of those HRP reactions that involve functional groups most commonly occurring in alkaloids is presented below.

Fuel cells using directly liquid fuels are advantageous in this aspect. Methanol, formaldehyde (water solution), formic acid (water solution) and hydrazine are among fuels relatively easy to oxidize electrochemically. Alcohol and hydrocarbon with larger molecular weight are much harder to oxidize completely to C02- Other qualifications to be considered are price, availability, safety, energy density and ease of handling.
