Oxidation continued

Thus ethylene is oxidized continuously through a series of oxidation—reduction reactions (87,88). The overall reaction is... 

The formation of pores appears to start along the sub-grain boundaries of the metal, followed by the development of additional pores within the subgrains. Growth of oxide continues on a series of hemispherical fronts centred on the pore bases, provided that the effective barrier-layer thickness between the metal surface and the electrolyte within the pores, represented by the hemisphere radius, is less than 1-4 nm/V. As anodic oxidation proceeds at... 

B. Electrophilic Reactions of the P=0 and P=S Groups. Hydrolysis studies with phosphine oxides continue to reveal problems associated with the role of pseudorotational processes in determining mechanism. The failure of benzyldiphenylphosphine oxide (36) to exchange when hydrolysed in under bimolecular conditions has been reported. ... 

The Ce(III) thus obtained will next be oxidized at its decomposition potential (nearly 1.4 V) this overall process of direct and indirect oxidation continues until Fe(II) has been completely converted into Fe(III) at this stage no Ce(III) remains, but only the amount of Ce(IV) previously added in order to stop the anodic oxidation in time the potential of the Pt-WE (vs. SCE-RE) should automatically interrupt the electrolysis beyond say 1.5 V, i.e., well below the decomposition potential of H20. 

The anodic oxidation of sheet aluminum has been used for a long time to protect aluminum against corrosion by a well-adhering oxide layer. Porous oxide layers are formed if acid electrolytes are used that can redissolve the aluminum oxide (mostly sulfuric or phosphoric acid). A compact oxide layer is formed at the beginning of the electrolysis (Fig. 20.3). Simultaneously, the current decreases, due to the electric resistance of the oxide. Subsequently follows a process in which the oxide is redissolved by the acid, and the current increases until it reaches a steady state. The electrochemical oxidation continues to take place with formation of pores. At the end of a pore, where it has the largest curvature, the electric field has its largest gradient and the process of redisolution is fastest.

The photochemical after-effect, considering that after light is switched off, the light oxidation continues for some time (time of chain growth), also indicates the chain nature of the process. This after-effect was observed in the photochemical oxidation of... 

The acyl radicals formed in ketone photolysis are excited and, therefore, rapidly splits into CO and alkyl radical (in the gas phase). Since aldehydes and ketones are products of oxidation, continuous hydrocarbon photooxidation is an autoaccelerated process. 

Synthetic studies of various cyclic phosphine oxides continue to be published. Thus a methanolic work-up leads to an 88% yield of 1-methylphospholen 1-oxides (6) from dichloro(methyl)phosphine, and detailed S1P n.m.r. and mass spectra have been described.10 The oxides (7) and (8) have been prepared11 as shown. Structural...

P-oxidation continues only as far as a medium-chain CoA derivative, which is transported out of the peroxisome as its carnitine ester. It then enters the mitochondria where P-oxidation continues to produce acetyl-CoA. The acetyl-CoA, which is produced in the peroxisome, is also transported out for oxidation in the mitochondria (Appendix 7.4). 

For oxidation of iron to occur at high temperatures, the oxygen partial pressure must be above that of the dissociation pressure of the appropriate corrosion products. For example, at ca. 700 °C, an oxygen partial pressure of greater than 10 Pa is required for wiistite to form. In air, of course, this condition is readily satisfied, at least initially. As oxidation continues and the film thickens and becomes coherent, an oxygen gradient across the film is established and the composition of the corrosion layer changes.

Autoxidation of Chloroprene. The oxidation was autocatalytic and up to about 5 mole % oxidation—i.e., 5 moles of oxygen absorbed per 100 moles of chloroprene initially present—the quantity (mole % oxidation)172 was a linear function of time, as observed by Kern (10). Beyond this extent the oxidation continued at a rather greater rate than given by this relation and was still accelerating at 25 mole % oxidation. Values of K in the expression...
