Fig. 1. Schematic representation of a battery system also known as an electrochemical transducer where the anode, also known as electron state 1, may be comprised of lithium, magnesium, zinc, cadmium, lead, or hydrogen, and the cathode, or electron state 11, depending on the composition of the anode, may be lead dioxide, manganese dioxide, nickel oxide, iron disulfide, oxygen, silver oxide, or iodine.

In general the iodonium bases are formed from iodoso- and iodoxy-compounds in the presence of alkali, preferably silver oxide the two organic iodine compounds combine with elimination of iodate. 

A different cychzation reaction of 460, by treatment with iodine and silver oxide, gave l,6-dioxaspiro[3.4]octanes 469 (Scheme 130). This heterocychc core present in a series of sesquiterpenic lactones has interesting biological activity and is isolated as secondary metabolites from species of the Compositae family . 

Oxidation of the acetyl group in 2-acetyl-3,S-dialkyl derivatiyes of 1 and 2 with iodine in pyridine, and of the formyl group in 5-ethyl-2-formyl- and 2-formylthieno[2,3-6]thiophene, and 4-formyl- and 6-formylthieno[3,4-6]thiophene (194 and 195) with silver oxide, was performed to verify the structures of the acetylation and formylation products. 

A species believed to be the monomer cation radical of 9-ethylcarbazole as a green solution in acetonitrile formed by oxidation of 9-ethylcarbazole with iodine-silver(I) perchlorate, was detected by ESR spectroscopy, although the perchlorate of the cation radical could not be isolated subsequent treatment with potassium iodide gave 9,9 -diethyl-3,3 -bicarbazole. The borofluoride salts generated as crystalline materials by oxidation of carbazole or 9-methylcarbazole with tropylium borofluoride in acetonitrile followed by precipitation with methanol are not salts of the monomer cation-radicaP as originally believed. Russian workers have suggested that nitration of carbazole proceeds via a cation radical. ... 

Silver foil is transformed by an aq. soln. of the trichloride into silver chloride and iodide silver oxide with an excess of the trichloride is transformed into the chloride and iodic acid with more silver oxide, silver iodate is formed and with an excess of the oxide and a boiling soln. some silver periodate is formed. Mercuric oxide is slowly transformed into mercuric chloride and oxide chlorine, oxygen, and possibly chlorine monoxide are evolved. Aq. soln. of the trichloride give a precipitate of iodine with a little stannous chloride with more stannous chloride, some stannous iodide is formed. Consequently, although chloroform extracts no iodine from the aq. soln., it will do so after the addition of stannous chloride. Sulphur dioxide and ferrous sulphate are oxidized. 

A. J. Balard 8 prepared an olive-green insoluble mass by the action of bromine water on copper oxide, vegetable colours are not bleached, but nitrogen is evolved from ammonia, and carbonic and other acids set free bromine. When heated, oxygen, bromine, and water are given off, and copper oxybromide remains. The solid is possibly a mixture of bromine and copper oxybromide and not copper hypobromite. A. J. Balard also prepared a soln. which probably contained silver hypobromite by the action of bromine water on silver oxide. The product easily decomposes into bromide and bromate. F. W. Schmidt suggested that the white floccuient precipitate obtained by the action of iodine on a very dil. ammoniacal soln. of silver nitrate is possibly silver hypoiodite. 

Dibenzyl selenide gives an iodide when allowed to react with iodine in chloroform solution. Dinitrates are formed when nitric acid (density 1 4) acts upon diaryl selenides or upon their dibromides. The dihalides have their halogen removed by moist silver oxide, the hydroxides resulting. When sodium hydroxide is used they are transformed to the oxides, R2SeO, which also result when diaryl selenides are oxidised by 46 perhydrol. ... 

Dibenzyl selenium di-iodide, (C6H5.CH2)2SeI2.—When dibenzyl selenide is heated with iodine in chloroform solution, dark violet crystals of the di-iodide separate, M.pt. 97° C. The halogen in this and the foregoing compound is removed by alkali, silver oxide or silver acetate. 

The interaction of diaryl tellurides and the esters of halogenated fatty acids, e.g. methyl bromacetate, gives diarvl-telluretin halide alkyl esters, e.g. (C6H5)2Te(Br).CH2.COOCH3. The halogen present may be chlorine, bromine or iodine, moist silver oxide replacing the bromine by the hydroxyl group.

Further studies on the photochemistry of friedelin have led to the isolation of the unsaturated aldehyde (130).105 Silver oxide oxidation of (130) gave the known putranjivic acid. Irradiation of friedelin in the presence of acetone afforded the hydroxy-ketone (131).106 Photochemically initiated reaction of 7/3-hydroxyfriedelane and 3/3,7/3-dihydroxyfriedelane with lead tetra-acetate-iodine... 

These olefins were transformed into unsaturated acetates by Woodward s protocol with iodine, silver acetate, and acetic acid. Saponification and subsequent oxidation of the liberated alcohols with Collin s reagent resulted in a 2 1 mixture of conjugated enones, 162 and 163, in mediocre yields (Scheme 16). The minor enone 163 was transformed into the cyanoketone 164 by 1,4-addition using... 

Anti hydroxylation of an alkene is readily achieved with peroxycarboxylic adds. Add-catalyzed ring opening of the irutial produd, an oxirane (epoxide), forms the monoester of a 1,2-diol, hydrolysis of which affords the parent diol. Alternative reagents whi ate often used for anti hydroxylation of alkenes are hydrogen peroxide with oxides of tungsten > 4.2i gj. selenium, 444i and iodine-silver benzoate (Pr6vost reaction).. ... 

The classical Hunsdiecker reaction (equation 18), involving the reaction of silver caiboxylates widi halogens, and the various associated side reactions, has been reviewed several tunes. Optimum yields are obtain widi bromine, followed by chlorine. Iodine gives acceptable yields provid diat the correct stoichiometry of 1 1 is used. The reaction is most frequently carried out in tetrachloromediane at reflux. From a practical pmnt of view, one drawback is the difficulty encountered in the preparation of dry silver caiboxylates the reaction of silver oxide on the acyl chloride in tetrachloromediane at reflux has been employed to circumvent diis problem. Evidendy the use of molecular bromine limits die range of functional groups compatible widi die reaction the different reaction pathways followed by the silver salts of electron poor (equation 19) and electron rich (equation 20) aryl carboxyl s illustrate this point well.
