Organic peroxides, chemical reaction with

A parallel reactor system for liquid-liquid phase reactions such as oxidation reactions with H202 at ambient pressure was reported from hte Aktiengesellschaft. If compared with other chemistries, rather mild-reaction conditions (ambient pressure, moderate temperature) are often applied in liquid-phase oxidation for fine chemical production with terminal oxidants that can be dosed as liquids (e.g., aqueous H202 or organic peroxides). The reaction that was investigated was the partial oxidation of... 

It is also possible to produce covalently bonded alkyl MLs on Si(l 11) surfaces using a variety of chemical reactions with passivated H-terminated Si(l 11), but the preparation methods are more complex than the immersion strategy in part due to the higher reactivity of silicon. This is a major achievement because it allows direct coupling between organic and bio-organic materials and silicon-based semiconductors. Both pyrolysis of diacyl peroxides (Linford Chidsey, 1993) and Lewis acid-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkenes and direct reaction of alkylmagnesium bromide (Boukherroub et al, 1999) on freshly prepared Si(lll)-H produce surfaces with similar characterishcs. These surfaces are chemically stable and can be stored for several weeks without measurable deterioration. Thienyl MLs covalently bonded to Si(l 11) surfaces have also been obtained, in which a Si(l 11)-H surface becomes brominated, Si(lll)-Br, and is further reacted with lithiated thiophenes (He etal, 1998). 

Accelerating the rate of chemical reactions with oxidants, e.g., hydrogen peroxide, oxygen, peroxydisulfate, dichromate and nitric acid [136]. The free radicals formed are used to break down organic molecules and the addition of a TiC>2 suspension as a photocatalyst [139] further enhances degradation.
