In the flask were placed 60 g of powdered paraformaldehyde, 100 ml of dioxane and 3 g of copper(II) acetate and 0.3 mol of liquid dimethylamine was added at -20 C. The temperature was allowed to rise gradually to 40-45°C with occasional cooling and when the reaction had subsided, the mixture was cooled to 20°C and a second portion of 0.3 mol of the amine was added. When this had reacted, the remainder of the 2.0 mol of dimethylamine was added in the same way. The mixture... 

Stereoselective cis-dihydroxylation of the more hindered side of cycloalkenes is achieved with silver(I) or copper(II) acetates and iodine in wet acetic acid (Woodward gly-colization J.B. Siddall, 1966 L. Mangoni, 1973 R. Criegee, 1979) or with thallium(III) acetate via organothallium intermediates (E. Glotter, 1976). In these reactions the intermediate dioxolenium cation is supposed to be opened hydrolytically, not by Sn2 reaction. 

The resulting macrocyclic ligand was then metallated with nickel(II) acetate. Hydride abstraction by the strongly electrophilic trityl cation and proton elimination resulted in the formation of carbon-carbon double bonds (T.J. Truex, 1972). 

The oxidative coupling of toluene using Pd(OAc)2 via />-tolylmercury(II) acetate (428) forms bitolyl[384]. The aryl-aryl coupling proceeds with copper and a catalytic amount of PdCl2 in pyridine[385]. Conjugated dienes are obtained by the coupling of alkenylmercury(II) chlorides[386].

Similarly, hydantoins can be arylated at N-3. For example, treatment of 5,5-diphenyIhydantoin (4), R = R = Cg (phenytoin), with -tolyUead triacetate in the presence of sodium hydride and a catalytic amount of copper(II) acetate (37) gives compound (7). 

Mercuration. Mercury(II) salts react with alkyl-, alkenyl-, and arylboranes to yield organomercurials, which are usehil synthetic intermediates (263). For example, dialkyhnercury and alkyhnercury acetates can be prepared from primary trialkylboranes by treatment with mercury(II) chloride in the presence of sodium hydroxide or with mercury(II) acetate in tetrahydrofuran (3,264). Mercuration of 3 -alkylboranes is sluggish and requires prolonged heating. Alkenyl groups are transferred from boron to mercury with retention of configuration (243,265). 

Acetates. Anhydrous iron(II) acetate [3094-87-9J, Ee(C2H202)2, can be prepared by dissolving iron scraps or turnings in anhydrous acetic acid ( 2% acetic anhydride) under an inert atmosphere. It is a colorless compound that can be recrystaUized from water to afford hydrated species. Iron(II) acetate is used in the preparation of dark shades of inks (qv) and dyes and is used as a mordant in dyeing (see Dyes and dye intermediates). An iron acetate salt [2140-52-5] that is a mixture of indefinite proportions of iron(II) and iron(III) can be obtained by concentration of the black Hquors obtained by dissolution of scrap iron in acetic acid. It is used as a catalyst of acetylation and carbonylation reactions. 

The brown crystalline manganese(III) acetate dihydrate is of considerable commercial importance because it is often used as the source material for other trivalent manganese compounds. It can be made by oxidation of manganese(II) acetate using chlorine or potassium permanganate, or by reaction of manganese(II) nitrate and acetic anhydride. 

The anhydrous hahdes, chromium (II) fluoride [10049-10-2], chromium (II) bromide [10049-25-9], CrBr2, chromium (II) chloride [10049-05-5], CrCl2, and chromium (II) iodide [13478-28-9], 03x1, are prepared by reaction of the hydrohaUde and pure Cr metal at high temperatures, or anhydrous chromium (II) acetate [15020-15-2], Cr2(CH2COO)4, atlower temperatures, or by hydrogen reduction of the Cr(III) hahde at about 500—800°C (2,12). 

Cobalt compounds can be classified as relatively nontoxic (33). There have been few health problems associated with workplace exposure to cobalt. The primary workplace problems from cobalt exposure are fibrosis, also known as hard metal disease (34,35), asthma, and dermatitis (36). Finely powdered cobalt can cause siUcosis. There is Htfle evidence to suggest that cobalt is a carcinogen in animals and no epidemiological evidence of carcinogenesis in humans. The LD q (rat) for cobalt powder is 1500 mg/kg. The oral LD q (rat) for cobalt(II) acetate, chloride, nitrate, oxide, and sulfate are 194, 133, 198, 1700, 5000, and 279 mg/kg, respectively the intraperitoneal LD q (rat) for cobalt(III) oxide is 5000 mg/kg (37). 

Mercury(II) acetate tends to mercurate all the free nuclear positions in pyrrole, furan and thiophene to give derivatives of type (74). The acetoxymercuration of thiophene has been estimated to proceed ca. 10 times faster than that of benzene. Mercuration of rings with deactivating substituents such as ethoxycarbonyl and nitro is still possible with this reagent, as shown by the formation of compounds (75) and (76). Mercury(II) chloride is a milder mercurating agent, as illustrated by the chloromercuration of thiophene to give either the 2- or 2,5-disubstituted product (Scheme 25). 

Benzo[h]thiophene sulfone (229) reacts as a vinyl sulfone and forms adducts (228) and (230) when treated with mercury(II) acetate in methanol and with cyclopentadiene, respectively. 

The employment of non-protic electrophiles for the foregoing type of cyclizations as illustrated in Scheme 8 has the particular merit of leaving a useful point of departure for further transformations. Comparable cyclizations of 2-allyl-3-aminocyclohexenones with mercury(II) acetate are preceded by dehydrogenation to the corresponding 2-allyl-3-aminophenol as shown in Scheme 9 82TL3591). The preferred direction of cyclization depends upon the nucleophilicity of the amino group. 

Acetoxymercurioxazoles (74AHC(17)99) and acetoxymercuriothiazoles with halogens give the corresponding halogenooxazoles in good yield. 4-Acetoxymercuriopyrazoles show many of the reactions of phenylmercury(II) acetate removal by HCI, conversion to Br by bromine, and to SCHjPh by (SCN)2/PhCH2CI. 

A -Pyrazolines such as (410) are oxidized by iodine, mercury(II) acetate and trityl chloride to pyrazolium salts (411), and compound (410) even reduces silver nitrate to Ag° (69JOU1480). Electrochemical oxidation of l,3,5-triaryl-2-pyrazolines has been studied in detail (74BSF768, 79CHE115). They Undergo oxidative dimerization and subsequent transformation into the pyrazole derivative (412). 

Analogous to the oxidation of hydrazones to azo compounds, A-unsubstituted pyrazolidines are oxidized to A -pyrazolines. For example, the blcyclic pyrazolidine (415) when treated with silver oxide yields the pyrazoline (416) (65JA3023). Pyrazolidine (417) is transformed into the perchlorate of the pyrazolium salt (411) by reaction with mercury(II) acetate in ethanol followed by addition of sodium perchlorate (69JOU1480). 

Electrophilic mercuration of isoxazoles parallels that of pyridine and other azole derivatives. The reaction of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles with raercury(II) acetate results in a very high yield of 4-acetoxymercury derivatives which can be converted into 4-broraoisoxazoles. Thus, the reaction of 5-phenylisoxazole (64) with mercury(II) acetate gave mercuriacetate (88) (in 90% yield), which after treatment with potassium bromide and bromine gave 4-bromo-5-phenylisoxazole (89) in 65% yield. The unsubstituted isoxazole, however, is oxidized under the same reaction conditions, giving mercury(I) salts.
