Oxidation introduction

Note Some of these oxidative introductions of C-0H/=0 substituents may well take place via intermediate A-oxides. 

Thus oxidation of the nucleus may be activated and may form a possible explanation of the relative low initial selectivity generally observed [345, 347]. As to side chain oxidation, introduction of oxygen and dissociation of a second hydrogen atom yields the aldehyde as the first desorb-able aromatic product. On V2Os -based catalysts the aldehyde is easily converted into the acid. The transition of an adsorbed aldehyde into a sym-... 

The oxidative introduction of carboxylic functions to nanotubes provides a large number of CNT-functional exploitations and permits covalent functionalization by the formation of amide and ester linkages and other carboxyl derivatives [24]. Bifunctional molecules (diamines, diols, etc.) are often utilized as linkers. More illustrative examples are nanotubes decorated with amino-functionalized dendrimers, nucleic acids, enzymes, etc., and the formation of bioconjugates of CNTs [96]. 

Cytochrome P450 is not involved in the oxidative introduction of the A5-bond into cholest-7-en-3/3-oI,142 and, since the enzyme system responsible for the conversion of cholest-7-ene-3/3,5a-diol into cholesterol was denatured much faster than the system that converted the cholest-7-en-3/3-ol into cholesterol,148 it was deduced that the diol was not an intermediate in desaturation. 

Clearly there are easily oxidizable groups other than alcohols which might be found within a particular structure, and which can interfere with the oxidative introduction of a carbonyl group. Not surprisingly reagents have been developed which will show chemoselectivity for the oxidation of the alcohol function in such systems. Triphenylbismuth carbonate and p.-oxo-bis(chlorotriphenylbismuth) have been reported as such a chemoselective reagent, and will oxidize alcohols in the presence of other easily oxidized species such as benzenethiol, indole and pyrrole (Section 2.9.3). This reagent also cleaves 1,2-diols.

CPs can be synthesized by chemically initiated polymerization, vapor-phase methods, photochemical polymerization or by electrochemical polymerization where the choice of polymerization method depends to a large extent on the final application in mind [2, 3]. Chemical polymerization usually produces powdery materials and is the preferred technique for large-scale production of CPs. The major disadvantages of chemical polymerization are the limited choice of suitable oxidants, introduction of impurities with the oxidant and difficulties to control the oxidation strength...

An intramolecular version of this reaction, employing a furan as the nucleophile with an acetylenic ketone as the acceptor was employed in a short synthesis of crassifolone 6.200 (Scheme 6.91). The cyclization substrate 6.198 was synthesized using standard chemistry and cyclized on treatment with a cationic gold catalyst. The product 6.199 could be converted to the natural product by conjugate addition of a Grignard reagent to form the quaternary centre, followed by oxidative introduction of an alkene. 

This idea was vindicated in the work of Arhart (11. 12) who succeeded in oxidative introduction of hexafluorocumyloxy ligands (ORp) to the sulfur of diphenyl sulfide to give suUurane 1 a crystalline material stable indefinitely at room temperature. 

One of the most challenging problems in the oxidative introduction of an OH group is the hydroxylation in the position of an unactivated C-H bond. 

The interesting aza-propellane skeleton of metaphanine, a complex hasubanan alkaloidj has been effectively constructed by Ibuka et at. using a modified Robinson annelation reaction.The synthesis is completed by stepwise oxidative introduction of oxygen functions at C-8 and C-10 which eventually furnishes the unique hemiketal ring in the molecule. 

While the two-step functionalization of CNTs through the oxidative introduction of carboxyl groups followed by the formation of amide or ester linkages does allow for a stable chemical modification, it has only a relatively weak effect on the electrical and mechanical properties of the CNTs. In comparison, addition reactions enable the direct coupling of functional groups onto the n-conjugated carbon framework of the CNTs. The required...
