Hydrogen peroxide, anhydrous

The product is a solid yellow hydrated oxide. If prepared by a method in the absence of water, a black anhydrous product is obtained. Germanium(II) oxide is stable in air at room temperature but is readily oxidised when heated in air or when treated at room temperature with, for example, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, or potassium manganate(VII). When heated in the absence of air it disproportionates at 800 K ...

Acid-cataly2ed hydroxylation of naphthalene with 90% hydrogen peroxide gives either 1-naphthol or 2-naphthiol at a 98% yield, depending on the acidity of the system and the solvent used. In anhydrous hydrogen fluoride or 70% HF—30% pyridine solution at — 10 to + 20°C, 1-naphthol is the product formed in > 98% selectivity. In contrast, 2-naphthol is obtained in hydroxylation in super acid (HF—BF, HF—SbF, HF—TaF, FSO H—SbF ) solution at — 60 to — 78°C in > 98% selectivity (57). Of the three commercial methods of manufacture, the pressure hydrolysis of 1-naphthaleneamine with aqueous sulfuric acid at 180°C has been abandoned, at least in the United States. The caustic fusion of sodium 1-naphthalenesulfonate with 50 wt % aqueous sodium hydroxide at ca 290°C followed by the neutralization gives 1-naphthalenol in a ca 90% yield. 

Because osmium tetroxide is expensive, and its vapors are toxic, alternate methods have been explored for effecting vic-glycol formation. In the aliphatic series, olefins can be hydroxylated with hydrogen peroxide with the use of only a catalytic amount of osmium tetroxide. Anhydrous conditions are not necessary 30% hydrogen peroxide in acetone or acetone-ether is satisfactory. The intermediate osmate ester is presumably cleaved by peroxide to the glycol with regeneration of osmium tetroxide. When this reaction was tried on a A -steroid, the product isolated was the 20-ketone ... 

Other oxidizing agents that can be used include nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, peroxydisulfate, chlorate and the pervanadyl ion. The anhydrous... 

The trialkylborane is oxidized by the addition to the stirred reaction mixture of 32 ml of a 3 solution of sodium hydroxide, followed by the dropwise addition of 32 ml of 30 % hydrogen peroxide at a temperature of 30-32° (water bath). The reaction mixture is saturated with sodium chloride and the tetrahydrofuran layer formed is separated and washed with saturated sodium chloride solution. The organic solution is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the THF is removed. Distillation affords 24.5 g (80%) of 4-methyl-1-pentanol, bp I51-153°/735 mm. 

The alkylborane is then oxidized by the addition of 150 ml of a 15% solution of hydrogen peroxide, while the pH of the reaction mixture is maintained at 7-8 by the simultaneous addition of 3 Asodium hydroxide, the process being carried out at ice-bath temperature. The reaction mixture is neutralized and subjected to steam distillation. The distillate is extracted with ether, and the extract is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After removal of the ether, distillation yields 18.0 g (70%) of n-octanal, bp 83-85733 mm. 

A 500-ml, three-necked, round-bottom flask is fitted with a mechanical stirrer, a thermometer, and a wide-stern (powder) funnel. The flask is cooled in an ice-salt bath and charged with 125 ml (approx. 0.5 mole) of 15% sodium hydroxide solution. When the stirred solution reaches -10°, 30% hydrogen peroxide (57.5 g, 52.5 ml, approx. 0.5 mole) previously cooled to -10° is added in one portion. The pot temperature rises and is allowed to return to —10° whereupon 37.5 g (0.25 mole) of phthalic anhydride (pulverized) is added rapidly with vigorous stirring. Immediately upon dissolution of the anhydride, 125 ml (approx. 0.25 mole) of cooled (-10°) 20% sulfuric acid is added in one portion. (The time interval between dissolution of the anhydride and the addition of the cold sulfuric acid should be minimized.) The solution is filtered through Pyrex wool and extracted with ether (one 250-ml portion followed by three 125-ml portions). The combined ethereal extracts are washed three times with 75-ml portions of 40% aqueous ammonium sulfate and dried over 25 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate for 24 hours under refrigeration.

Trialkyltin methoxides react with anhydrous hydrogen peroxide in ether to give the rather unstable bis(trialkyltin) peroxides, RsSnOOSnRs (214). Under the same conditions, dialkyltin dimethox-ides give polymeric peroxides, (RzSnOO), but, if an aldehyde is present, monomeric peroxides of the following structure are obtained (215).

It is believed that the regiospecifidty of the dioxabicyclization and the concurrent formation of bicyclic ethers 48 and 49 both result from equilibrium control of reversible (per)oxymercuration — de(per)oxymercuration. Thus to optimise the yield of 47 it is important to minimize the amount of water present in the reaction mixture and use of concentrated hydrogen peroxide (>80%) with anhydrous mercury(II) trifluoroacetate is recommended.

Anhydrous peroxytrifluoroacetic acid is not easy to handle, but the procedure has recently been revised.121 Namely, reaction of urea-hydrogen peroxide complex (UHP) with tri-fluoroacetic anhydride in acetonitrile at 0 °C gives solutions of peroxytrifluoroacetic acid, which oxidize aldoximes to nitroalkanes in good yields (Eqs. 2.58 and 2.59). Ketoximes fail to react under these conditions, the parent ketone being recovered.
