Hydrogen, reaction with bromine oxygen

Singlet oxygen is also formed in the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with bromine [412]. McKeown and Waters [411, 412] found that peracids and nitriles evolve singlet oxygen in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. 

TETRACHLORO ZIRCONIUM (10026-11-6) Decomposes in the presence of moist air, forming a dense white cloud and hydrogen chloride fumes may ignite spontaneously. Reacts with water, steam, releasing heat, a dense white cloud, and hydrogen chloride. Violent reaction with bromine pentafluoride, lithium, oxygen difluoride, tetrahydrofuran. Contact... 

Exceptions to the Markovnikov rule when hydrogen bromide reacts with unsym-metric alkenes have long been known.117,118 The reaction for this anti-Markovnikov addition was explained as being a chain reaction with the involvement of bromine atoms influenced by the presence of peroxides.119-121 Both added peroxides and peroxides formed by the action of oxygen (air) on the alkene are effective. 

Bodenstein has, however, shown that the combination of nitric oxide and oxygen 2N0 + 02 = 2N02 is a homogeneous change which is kinetically of the third order, and the same appears to apply to the combination of nitric oxide with chlorine and with bromine f and to the reaction between nitric oxide and hydrogen. J 2NO + C12 = 2NOC1 2NO + Br2 = 2NOBr 2NO + H2 = N20+H20... 

Zirconium-aryne complexes have also found application in the regiose-lective synthesis of halophenols.62 Reaction of 101 with methyl diethylbori-nate or triethylborate leads to insertion of a boron-oxygen bond into a Zr-benzyne bond with formation of 102 and 104, respectively (Scheme 12). Further reactions of 102 and 104 with bromine or iodine followed by excess NaOH and 30% hydrogen peroxide gives halomethyl(methoxy)phe-nols 103 and 105 in good yields. In most cases only one regioisomer of the halophenol was observed.
