Oxidation investigation conditions

Further investigations revealed that the efficiency of this complex for the enantioselective isomerization of cyclohexene oxide under conditions similar to the catalytic process (mixture of HCLA 59, 67 and DBU) is close to that of the presumed HCLA 59 homodimer (Table 6, entries 1 and 2). These experiments also confirmed the dramatic influence of DBU on both enantioselectivity and rate (entry 3) . ... 

In 1980, Katsuki and Sharpless described the first really efficient asymmetric epoxidation of allylic alcohols with very high enantioselectivities (ee 90-95%), employing a combination of Ti(OPr-/)4-diethyl tartrate (DET) as chiral catalyst and TBHP as oxidant Stoichiometric conditions were originally described for this system, however the addition of molecular sieves (which trap water traces) to the reaction allows the epoxidation to proceed under catalytic conditions. The stereochemical course of the reaction may be predicted by the empirical rule shown in equations 40 and 41. With (—)-DET, the oxidant approaches the allylic alcohol from the top side of the plane, whereas the bottom side is open for the (-l-)-DET based reagent, giving rise to the opposite optically active epoxide. Various aspects of this reaction including the mechanism, theoretical investigations and synthetic applications of the epoxy alcohol products have been reviewed and details may be found in the specific literature . 

Moldowan et al (5) investigated a sediment core, spanning a depth range of 5m, of Lower Toarcian shales from W. Germany specifically at a transition zone from a rather oxidized, shallow-marine, marly sediment to an organic matter-rich, black shale. Variations in distributions of isoprenoid hydrocarbons, steranes and monoaromatic steroids were observed and were related to variations in oxidation/reduction conditions during and shortly after sedimentation. 

Recently Chukhrov et al. summarized data on the synthesis of iron oxides in conditions comparable to natural, in the collective monograph Supergene iron oxides in geological processes (Petrovskaya, 1975). The results of experimental investigations, in conjunction with geologic data, not only made it possible to draw conclusions as to the conditions of formation and transformation of the individual natural oxides, but also to identify new compounds which are metastable phases. A very important fact is that the nature of the original hydroxide sediments depends on the mechanism and conditions of their formation. 

Both steam and carbon dioxide inhibit the reaction rate, probably due to adsorption on active sites. For the investigated conditions, the oxidation activity of ceria can be neglected. 

A comparison of the intrinsic activity of all fifteen catalyst formulations, tested under CO oxidation reaction conditions, is given in the bar diagram of Fig.3 which shows the maximum measured turnover numbers at 227°C and oxygen partial pressure of 2.6 kPa. Rhodium is clearly a far superior CO oxidation catalyst as compared to Pt and Pd, in accordance with results of other investigators [21], It is also observed in Fig. 3 that the activity of Rh for CO oxidation is very sensitive to the carrier employed for its dispersion. A weaker sensitivity is exhibited by Pd and Pt. 

The galvanostatic-transient behavior of the catalyst potential and that of the reaction rate dne to anodic cnrrent steps, was investigated as a function of the applied cnrrent. The reaction was the combnstion of ethylene at 375°C over Ir02A"SZ catalyst at highly oxidative feed conditions (C2H4 O2 = 1 100). Transients under cmrent application (termed polarization) and after cnrrent intermption (relaxation) were recorded. In order to achieve well-established steady-states, long polarization of at least 100 min and relaxation of at least 200 min were applied. 

The data on the results of investigation in this branch of the subject are considerably more limited than in the case of the aliphatic series. One of the reasons for this is the difficulty with which the benzene nucleus undergoes oxidation, a condition which permits of comparatively few reactions. Nearly all the reactions involve substituted groups only. In almost all cases the benzene nucleus remains unaltered. 

EOI is dimensionless and can take values between zero and one. EOI = 0 means that the organic compound is not oxidized on the selected anode material under investigation conditions, in which case the main reaction is oxygen evolution. EOI = 1 indicates that there are no side reactions, and all of the current is used for the oxidation of organics. It is worthwhile to notice that EOI depends on electrolysis time.
