Iodide periodates

Similar to iodide, periodates 104 are also very useful redox mediator systems in the presence of aliphatic alcohols and carbohydrates. For example, the C—C bond... 

The Landolt reaction (iodate + reductant) is prototypical of an autocatalytic clock reaction. During the induction period, the absence of the feedback species (Irere iodide ion, assumed to have virtually zero initial concentration and fomred from the reactant iodate only via very slow initiation steps) causes the reaction mixture to become kinetically frozen . There is reaction, but the intemiediate species evolve on concentration scales many orders of magnitude less than those of the reactant. The induction period depends on the initial concentrations of the major reactants in a maimer predicted by integrating the overall rate cubic autocatalytic rate law, given in section A3.14.1.1. 

Give brief experimental details to indicate how you could prepare in the laboratory a sample of either tin(IV) chloride or tin(IV) iodide. How far does the chemistry of the oxides and chlorides of carbon support the statement that the head element of a group in the Periodic Table is not typical of that group (JMB, A)... 

CAUTION. Ethers that have been stored for long periods, particularly in partly-filled bottles, frequently contain small quantities of highly explosive peroxides. The presence of peroxides may be detected either by the per-chromic acid test of qualitative inorganic analysis (addition of an acidified solution of potassium dichromate) or by the liberation of iodine from acidified potassium iodide solution (compare Section 11,47,7). The peroxides are nonvolatile and may accumulate in the flask during the distillation of the ether the residue is explosive and may detonate, when distilled, with sufficient violence to shatter the apparatus and cause serious personal injury. If peroxides are found, they must first be removed by treatment with acidified ferrous sulphate solution (Section 11,47,7) or with sodium sulphite solution or with stannous chloride solution (Section VI, 12). The common extraction solvents diethyl ether and di-tso-propyl ether are particularly prone to the formation of peroxides. 

It is advisable to test the potassium iodide - starch pap>er with acidified sodium nitrite solution the commercial test paper is, particularly if it has been kept for a considerable period, sometimes almost useless. The solution must contain an excess of acid at all times, i.e., it must give a blue colour on Congo rod paper. 

Add 101 g. (55 ml.) of concentrated sulphuric acid cautiously to 75 ml. of water contained in a 1 htre beaker, and introduce 35 g. of finely-powdered wi-nitroaniline (Section IV,44). Add 100-150 g. of finely-crushed ice and stir until the m-nitroaniUne has been converted into the sulphate and a homogeneous paste results. Cool to 0-5° by immersion of the beaker in a freezing mixture, stir mechanically, and add a cold solution of 18 g. of sodium nitrite in 40 ml. of water over a period of 10 minutes until a permanent colour is immediately given to potassium iodide - starch paper do not allow the temperature to rise above 5-7° during the diazotisation. Continue the stirring for 5-10 minutes and allow to stand for 5 minutes some m-nitrophenjddiazonium sulphate may separate. Decant the supernatant Uquid from the solid as far as possible. 

Recovery of the wopropyl alcohol. It is not usually economical to recover the isopropyl alcohol because of its lo v cost. However, if the alcohol is to be recovered, great care must be exercised particularly if it has been allowed to stand for several days peroxides are readily formed in the impure acetone - isopropyl alcohol mixtures. Test first for peroxides by adding 0-6 ml. of the isopropyl alcohol to 1 ml. of 10 per cent, potassium iodide solution acidified with 0-6 ml. of dilute (1 5) hydrochloric acid and mixed with a few drops of starch solution if a blue (or blue-black) coloration appears in one minute, the test is positive. One convenient method of removing the peroxides is to reflux each one litre of recovered isopropyl alcohol with 10-15 g. of solid stannous chloride for half an hour. Test for peroxides with a portion of the cooled solution if iodine is liberated, add further 5 g. portions of stannous chloride followed by refluxing for half-hour periods until the test is negative. Then add about 200 g. of quicklime, reflux for 4 hours, and distil (Fig. II, 47, 2) discard the first portion of the distillate until the test for acetone is negative (Crotyl Alcohol, Note 1). Peroxides generally redevelop in tliis purified isopropyl alcohol in several days. 

There are five components to the cost of using a Grignard reagent (/) magnesium metal, (2) the haUde, (J) the solvent, (4) the substrate, and (5) disposal of the by-products. The price of magnesium in mid-1992 was 3.20/kg, having risen from 1.20/kg in 1966 to 1.36/kg in 1970 and 2.90/kg in 1979. Prices for tetrahydrofuran and diethyl ether, the two most commonly used solvents, have also increased (Table 3) in the same period. The cost of the hahde depends on its stmcture, but as a general rule the order of cost is chloride < bromide < iodide. 

Zirconium monochloride and zirconium monobromide [31483-18-8] are prepared in better purity by equiUbration of mixed lower haUdes with zirconium foil at 625°C (184—185) or by slowly heating zirconium tetrahaUde with zirconium turnings at 400—800°C over a period of two weeks and hoi ding at 800—850°C for a few additional days (186). Similar attempts to produce zirconium monoiodide [14728-76-8] were unsuccesshil it was, however, obtained from the reaction of hydrogen iodide with metallic zirconium above 2000 K (187). 

A mixture consisting of 0.69 g (10.5 mmoles) of zinc-copper couple, 12 ml of dry ether, and a small crystal of iodine, is stirred with a magnetic stirrer and 2.34 g (0.7 ml, 8.75 mmoles) of methylene iodide is added. The mixture is warmed with an infrared lamp to initiate the reaction which is allowed to proceed for 30 min in a water bath at 35°. A solution of 0.97 g (2.5 mmoles) of cholest-4-en-3/ -ol in 7 ml of dry ether is added over a period of 20 min, and the mixture is stirred for an additional hr at 40°. The reaction mixture is cooled with an ice bath and diluted with a saturated solution of magnesium chloride. The supernatant is decanted from the precipitate, and the precipitate is washed twice with ether. The combined ether extracts are washed with saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the residue is chromatographed immediately on 50 g of alumina (activity III). Elution with benzene gives 0.62 g (62%) of crystalline 4/5,5/5-methylene-5 -cholestan-3/5-ol. Recrystallization from acetone gives material of mp 94-95° Hd -10°. 

Estr-5(10)-ene-3a,17 -diol (10 g, 36.2 mmoles) is added over a period of 1 hr to a refluxing mixture consisting of 60 g (0.92 moles) of zinc-copper couple, 350 ml of dry ether and 180 g (54 ml, 0.67 moles) of methylene iodide. After the addition is complete, half of the solvent is removed by distillation and 200 ml dry ether is added. The reaction mixture is then transferred to a sealed stainless steel tube and maintained for 3 hr at 92° before being cooled in an ice bath and poured into 500 ml of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The resultant mixture is extracted with ether and the extracts are dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to yield a solid residue which gives 8.4 g (80%) 5,19-cyclo-5a,10a-androstane-3a,17) -diol mp 161-163° [aJo 40° (CHCI3), on crystallization from acetone. 

The alkylation of imines by an alkyl halide to give an iminium salt will be illustrated by selected reactions over a period of years. A more complete survey is available (88). Decker and Becker (89) prepared a number of iminium salts (91, for example) by mixing methyl iodide and aromatic imines in benzene. 2,5-Dimethyl-2-pyrroline (92) has been alkylated and the... 

The filtrate was adjusted to a pH of 9 by adding concentrated ammonia, and than a 1 N aqueous iodine-potassium iodide solution was added dropwise, whereby the tetrahydro-pyrimido-[5,4-d] pyrimidine obtained by hydrogenation with zinc in formic acid was converted by oxidation into 2,6-bis-(diethanolamino)-8-piperidino-pyrimido-[5/4-d]-pyrimidine. The completion of the oxidation was checked by means of a starch solution. The major amount of the oxidation product already separated out as a deep yellow crystalline precipitate during the addition of the iodine solution. After the oxidation reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was allowed to stand for a short period of time, and than the precipitate was separated by vacuum filtration, washed with water and dried. It had a malting point of 157°C to 158°C. The yield was 8.0 g, which corresponds to 95% theory.
