Hypochlorite technology development

This chapter is aimed at describing some of the major applications of sodium hypochlorite technology to the development of household products and at highlighting the benefits of their regular use. It is worth noting that responsible research has also been devoted to a scientific assessment of the impact of sodium hypochlorite on human and environmental... 

A complementary approach to the synthesis (1R,2S)-1 has been developed by Merck using (.S, .S )-Mnl.CI catalyst in a hypochlorite medium to provide (IS, 2/0-indene oxide 26. This intermediate was converted without isolation to r/.v-aminoindanol in a stereoselective and regioselective manner using Ritter technology (Scheme 24.2). Several key issues, detailed later in this chapter, have been addressed and resolved in both Jacobsen s AE52 and Ritter technology50 to develop a reproducible and practical large-scale process for the synthesis of enantiopure d.s-aminoindanol. 

Other chapters deal with utility systems, cell room design and arrangement (with an emphasis on direct current supply), alternative processes for the production of either chlorine or caustic without the other, the production of hypochlorite, industrial hygiene, and speculations on future developments in technology. There is an Appendix with selected physical property data.
