Irradiation, oxidants generated

In 2000, it was proposed that the regioselectivity of the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of fullerenes could be modified under microwave irradiation. Under conventional heating, N-methylazomethine yhde and fullerene-(C7o) gave three different isomeric cycloadducts because of the low symmetry of C70 vs. Ceo. Using microwave irradiation and o-dichlorobenzene as a solvent, only two isomers were obtained, the major cycloadduct 114 being kinetically favored (Scheme 39) [75]. The same authors had previously reported the 1,3-dipolar cyclo addition of pyrazole nitrile oxides, generated in situ, to Geo under either conventional heating or microwave irradiation. The electrochemical characteristics of the cycloadduct obtained with this method made this product a candidate for photophysical apphcations [76].

Microwave irradiation promotes the 1,3-dipolar activity of nitrile oxides generated from hydroximoyl chlorides. They interacted in situ over alumina with alkenes and alkynes (150). The effect was demonstrated in reactions of... 

Electroactive 3-(N-phenylpyrazolyl)fullereno[l,2-r/]isoxazolines have been synthesized by using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of pyrazole nitrile oxides, generated in situ, to Cgo at elevated temperature or microwave irradiation. The cyclic voltammetry measurements show a strong donor pyrazole ring, and a better acceptor ability of the fullerene moiety than the parent C60 (538). Treating fullerene Cgo with mesitonitrile oxide in toluene gives fullerene-nitrile oxide adduct, which is supposed to be useful for electrical and optical components (539). 

Transient radicals and radical cations generated by the 7- and photo-irradiative oxidation of thioxanthene in the presence of an electron scavenger have been characterized spectroscopically and kinetically (Scheme 57) <1996JPC13539>.

A series of methods to accelerate arene exchange have been developed. Irradiation can lead to displacement of the arene ligand. In addition, oxidation of the metal by I is commonly used to release an arene after it has been modified by stoichiometric chemistry this oxidation generates labile 17-electron complexes such as Cr(CO)3(arene) I. Catalysis of arene substitution by reductive electron-transfer is also known, as in the case of CpFe(aiene). ... 

In this case, cyclization did not occur, but excellent yields of alkylated cyanoacetamide were obtained. A last case of oxidative generation of radicals is provided by a preparation of nitroalkenes. These compounds have been the object of new interest in synthesis, but their access is not always satisfactory. A simple, easily performed method has been published, in which ultrasound irradiation induces a fast, high-yielding reaction (Fig. 5). 

DSC and oxygen uptake experiments have been used to measure the oxidative stability of gamma-irradiated ethylene-propylene elastomers [4], The oxidative irradiation environment generated peroxy radicals that were involved in the air-degraded samples. The specific heat capacity dependences on temperature determined for the two methods of irradiation were dissimilar. 

Shimidzu [155] described a very similar photopatteming application, also for P(Py) on an insulator substrate. A Nafion (fluorosulfonate) film was used as the substrate, also serving as the dopant. A coating of pyrrole with a Ru complex was laid down on this. On irradiation this generated Ru(bpy)3, a powerful oxidant which dien caused the oxidative polymerization of die pyrrole. A photo-mask and a dye laser (490 nm) were used for irradiation, to obtain a pattern of resolution in the tens of microns.
