Functional groups oxidations

Ozone diffuses readily into amorphous region of the polyethylene (32) and oxidation probably occurs much deeper in the solid sample. Ozone also attacks the crystalline part of polyethylene but it has a slow initiation stage followed by more rapid oxidation (13). Because ozone does not diffuse into the crystalline regions (13.32). oxidation is restricted to the surface. The resulting oxidized functional groups on the crystalline regions will remain at the surface, whereas those formed in the amorphous region can diffuse into the bulk. 

Pyridine-containing tricyclic compounds have been produced via a sequence consisting of a Suzuki reaction and a subsequent annulation. Gronowitz et al. coupled 2-formylthienyl-3-boronic acid with 3-amino-4-iodopyridine. The resulting adduct spontaneously condensed to yield thieno[2,3-c]-l,7-naphthyridine 59 [47]. They also synthesized thieno[3,4-c]-l,5-naphthyridine-9-oxide (60) in a similar fashion [48]. Neither the amino nor the N-oxide functional group was detrimental to the Suzuki reactions. 

Reaction of sulfite ion with cyclic sulfinyl sulfone [33] gives [44], a compound containing the unusual Bunte salt S-oxide functional group, -S(0)S03- (Chau and Kice, 1977b). Although [44] is reasonably stable in acetate or chloroacetate buffers in 60% dioxan, it decomposes extremely rapidly (f1/2 = 0.5 s at 25 °C) in 0.01 M HC104 and gives an essentially... 

The products of thermal oxidation of polyethylene films can be characterized by C FTNMR furthermore, using the spin-lattice relaxation technique, quantitative estimates can be made of the oxidized functional groups. Observation of the development progress of the various functional groups leads to the postulation of hydroperoxides as the primary oxidation products, which undergo further transformations to the other derivatives in a complex scheme .

Oxidation-sensitive functionalities other than alcohols are remarkably resistant to the action of the TFAA-mediated Moffatt oxidation. Functional groups resistant to this oxidation include p-methoxybenzyl ethers133 and esters,143 sulfides,143a 144 thioacetals,145 nitrogen heterocycles146 and most peculiarly even selenides,147 and p-hydroquinones.148... 

Similar to M11O2, BaMn04 is able to oxidize functional groups other than alcohols, including primary amines,76b anilines,76b,83a imidazolines,90 saturated hemiacetals91 and thiols.84a,88b... 

In cases where readily oxidized functional groups are also present in either the substrate or the product of the reaction, overoxidation can occur. However, this can sometimes be advantageous. For example, in the total synthesis of ( )-sterepolide Trost and Chung effected the deprotection of the MPM ether (40) with DDQ in moist dichloromethane. Under the conditions of the reaction, further oxidation of the allylic alcohol took place to afford the final product (equation 30). However, separate treatment of the allylic alcohol with PDC in dichloromethane was found to be more effective. Similarly, treatment of the ether (41) with pyridinium tosylate followed by excess DDQ a orded the Ireland alcohol (42), a key intermediate for the synthesis of tirandamycin A (equation 31). Propargylic alcohols, however, would appear to be less susceptible to oxidation. ... 

The aldehyde carbonyl is the most easily oxidized functional group in an aldose, and so a variety of reagents oxidize it to a carboxy group, forming an aldonic acid. 

Table 2 shows microstructura) properties, including specific surface area, micropore volume, and total pore volume of the ACFs. The specific surface area of the pure-ACFs, A-ACFs, and B-ACFs are 1944, 1430, and 1937 mV respectively. That is, the BET s specific surftice area is decreased by 26% for A-ACFs compared to the pure-ACFs, but B-ACFs have no significant change. Also, total pore volume and micropore volume of surftice-treated ACFs are decreased. This is due to the increase of oxide functional groups, which are attributed to the block of the micropores. 

The cyclic voltammograms obtained for powdered electrodes prepared from carbons with deposited silver are shown in Fig. 50-52. The CV recorded in neutral blank solution (0.05 M NaNOj) (Fig. 50) for D—H carbon (curve 1) shows the presence of a pair of broad peaks ( p.,. = -I-O.IO V, p = -t-0.65 V) that can be described as surface oxide functional groups created as a result of spontaneous oxidative action of silver ions during deposition ... 

The types of nitrogen-containing compounds that are most frequently involved in reductive biotransformation are those containing nitro, azo, and N-oxide functional groups. Similar enzymes are involved that are generally located in the endoplasmic reticulum or cytosol of the liver or in the intestinal microflora. Complete reduction of a nitro compound to the primary amine involves a six-electron transfer and proceeds through nitroso and hydroxylamine intermediates [Eq. (16)]. 

Besides ruthenium tetroxide, other ruthenium salts, such as ruthenium trichloride hydrate, may be used for oxidation of carbon-carbon double bonds. Addition of acetonitrile as a cosolvent to the carbon tetrachloride-water biphase system markedly improves the effectiveness and reliability of ruthenium-catalyzed oxidations. For example, RuCl3 H20 in conjunction with NaI04 in acetonitrile-CCl4-H20 oxidizes (Ej-S-decene to pentanoic acid in 88% yield. Ruthenium salts may also be employed for oxidations of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids, secondary alcohols to ketones, and 1,2-diols to carboxylic acids under mild conditions at room temperature, as exemplified below. However, in the absence of such readily oxidized functional groups, even aromatic rings are oxidized.

In an attempt to determine the atmospheric oxidation processes that would result in an arene oxide functional group in PAHs, Murray and Kong (1994) studied the reaction of particle-bound PAHs with oxidants derived from the reactions of ozone with alkenes. Phenanthrene and pyrene were converted to arene oxides under these simulated atmospheric conditions. Control experiments indicated that the oxidant responsible for the transformation was not ozone, but a product of the reaction of ozone with tetramethylethylene (TME), probably the carbonyl oxide or the dioxirane derived from TME. 

In summary, depending on the nature of sources and conditions, the radiation effects of the CNTs in a relatively short period of time were very different. 1) The effective surface oxidation was observed for the samples exposed to the proton for 15 min and UV-ozone environment in 60 min, and the oxidative functional groups produced by proton and UV-ozone were essentially similar to those produced by acid-based treatment.[31] 2) The electron radiation could remove the carbon impurities, when the operating conditions are carefully optimized. Nevertheless, these radiation methods described above were performed in a form of a dried CNT powder, thus did not produce any harmful chemical byproducts. 

Monosaccharides that have an aldehyde as their most oxidized functional group are aldoses, and those having a ketone group as their most oxidized functional group are ketoses. They may be classified as trioses, tetroses, pentoses, and so forth, depending on the number of carbon atoms in the carbohydrate. 

Intramolecular hydrogen abstraction by excited nitrobenzene derivatives may lead to the introduction of an oxidized functional group in a remote part of the molecule, as previously reported by Scholl and Van De Mark.63 Japanese workers have now extended this reaction to the preparation of some oxidized derivatives of the triterpene dammaranediol.64... 

The extent of surface oxidation, type, and relative ratio of surface oxide functional groups on CNTs, and solution chemistry of the aqueous environment will dictate the sorption properties of CNTs and whether the CNT agglomerates form stable suspensions or settle out of solution. The tendency of CNTs to setfle in an aquatic suspension as a function of the extent of oxidation is shown in Figure 21.9 (25). The CNTs were vortexed in a salt solution and allowed to settle for two hours. After two hours, the...
