Oxidation solvent effect

The oxidized dimer, [Fe2(TPA)20(0Ac)]3+, 41, was shown to be an efficient catalyst for cyclohexane oxidation using tert-BuOOH as a source of oxygen (69). This catalyst reacts in CH3CN to yield cyclohexanol (9 equiv), cyclohexanone (11 equiv), and (tert-butylperoxy)cyclohexane (16 equiv) in 0.25 h at ambient temperatures and pressures under an inert atmosphere. The catalyst is not degraded during the catalytic reaction as determined by spectroscopic measurements and the fact that it can maintain its turnover efficiency with subsequent additions of oxidant. Solvent effects on product distribution were significant benzo-nitrile favored the hydroxylated products at the expense of (tert-butyl-peroxy)cyclohexane, whereas pyridine had the opposite effect. Addition of the two-electron oxidant trap, dimethyl sulfide, to the catalytic system completely suppressed the formation of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, but had no effect on the production of (tert-butylper-oxy)cyclohexane. These and other studies suggested that cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone must arise from an oxidant different from that responsible for the formation of (tert-butylperoxy)cyclohexane. Thus, two modes of tert-BuOOH decomposition were postulated a heterolytic... 

The S-Oxide Band of N,N-DimethylthiobenzamideS-oxide. Solvent effects on an electronic transition which they characterize as an S-oxide band of 56 have been reported by Walter and Bauer (120) and are the basis for the cri5 results in Table 34.

Potassium permanganate, usually in alkaline conditions, using aqueous or aqueous-organic solvents, is a widely used oxidant for effecting syn-vicinal hydroxylation of alkenes (Eq. 3.13). However, overoxidation or alternative oxidation pathways may pose a problem, and the conditions must be carefully controlled.62... 

An unusual solvent effect was observed in cycloadditions of aromatic nitrile N-oxides with alkyl-substituted p-benzoquinones in ethanol-water (60 40) the reaction rates were 14-fold greater than those in chloroform (148). The use of ion pairs to control nitrile oxide cycloadditions was demonstrated. A chiral auxiliary bearing an ionic group and an associated counterion provides enhanced selectivity in the cycloaddition the intramolecular salt effect controls the orientation of the... 

The mechanisms of permanganate oxidations have been the subject of a fairly intensive study which has now lasted for almost a century. While many of these studies were carried out in aqueous solutions, much of what was learned is also germane to an understanding of the reactions which occur in phase transfer assisted reactions. Although most of these studies are interrelated they can conveniently be discussed under the following headings products, substituent effects, isotope effects, and solvent effects, with the latter being of particular importance to the phase transfer assisted reactions. 

Solvent Effects. Information on the effect of solvent polarity of the phase transfer assisted permanganate oxidation of alkenes has been obtained by studying the oxidation of methyl cinnamate by tetrabutylammonium permanganate in tv/o different solvents, acetone and methylene chloride (37).
