Higher oxides

Under microwave irradiation and applying MCM-41-immobilized nano-iron oxide higher activity is observed [148]. In this case also, primary aliphatic alcohols could be oxidized. The TON for the selective oxidation of 1-octanol to 1-octanal reached to 46 with 99% selectivity. Hou and coworkers reported in 2006 an iron coordination polymer [Fe(fcz)2Cl2]-2CH30H with fez = l-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-l,l-bis[(l//-l,2,4-triazol-l-yl)methyl]ethanol which catalyzed the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant in 87% yield and up to 100% selectivity [149]. An alternative approach is based on the use of heteropoly acids, whereby the incorporation of vanadium and iron into a molybdo-phosphoric acid catalyst led to high yields for the oxidation of various alcohols (up to 94%) with molecular oxygen [150]. 

Under the conditions of oxidation, higher alkyl or alkenyl groups are degraded and ring substituents, other than halogen and nitro groups, often fail to survive. As an example, oxidation of 5-nitro-2-indanone with dilute nitric acid leads to 4-nitro-l,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid ... 

The composition of the reaction product stream can be influenced by temperature and pressure, but it is especially sensitive to the ratio of ammonia to ethylene oxide. Higher ratios of excess ammonia lead to a higher monoethanolamine content as shown in Table 15.1. The high triethanolamine...

Methane, or rather natural gas (which may contain carbon oxides, higher hydrocarbons, and inert gases), is of great interest as a source of pyrolytically grown fibers because of its relatively low cost. 

The Wacker chemistry can also be used to oxidize higher olefins. Terminal olefins are converted to methylketones. In general rates and yields of ketone formation decrease with increasing alkyl chain length. Hence only propylene to acetone has found commercial application. 

The oxidation of thiols to disulfides is a very facile process and many reagents function as oxidants. Ease of oxidation usually decreases in the following order ArSH > n-RSH > s-RSH > t-RSH. The use of vigorous conditions such as strong oxidants, excess oxidants, higher temperatures and longer reaction times etc. usually results in further oxidation of initially produced disulfides to give a mixture of several... 

All oxidants used for the oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes can be applied to secondary alcohols. Because the products, ketones, are much less sensitive to overoxidation than aldehydes, more intensive reaction conditions, such as an excess of the oxidant, higher temperatures, or longer reaction times, can be used. Examples of oxidations of secondary alcohols to ketones are shown in equations 265-268. 

The oxidation of aniline was carried out in the liquid phase over a series of transition metal - substituted molecular sieves. For low oxidant/aniline ratios, azoxybenzene (AZY) was the major product formed over Ti-containing catalysts, the reaction was limited by diffusion for medium pore zeolites like TS-l and mesoporous silicas were preferred as they permitted the use of both H2O2 and tert-butyl hydroperoxide as oxidants. Higher oxidant/aniline ratios (>2) led to the formation of nitrobenzene (NB), whose selectivity was proportional to the catalyst concentration. In contrast, vanadium containing molecular sieves were only active with TBHP and aniline was converted very selectively into nitrobenzene for all oxidant concentrations.

In NAD solutions there is a 10-fold greater proportion of the syn conformation than in NADH. Therefore,. sjw-NAD" is a weaker oxidising agent than awti-NAD. Hence, if the thermodynamic correlation holds, easier oxidations (higher ifeq) will have B-side stereochemistry. 

It should be noted that under the operating conditions chosen for Run 951-2E, the major SO2 scrubbing species was calcium adipate because there was little sulfite available, both in liquor or solids, normally the major scrubbing species in an unenhanced lime system without forced oxidation. Higher SO2 removal than the 82 percent in Run 951-2E should be achievable by simply raising the adipic acid concentration beyond the 1,330 ppm tested. 

On the other hand, it has been argued by Burton et al. (2, 3, 4) that the lifetime of singlet excited cyclohexane molecules is too short ( 10-13 sec.) to be observed. This conclusion is based largely on the behavior of scintillators containing fluorescent solutes dissolved in cyclohexane. It is important at this point to emphasize that at solute concentrations close to millimolar (which are usually employed in scintillator studies) excited cyclohexane molecules cannot be detected by nitrous oxide. Higher concentrations of both nitrous oxide and benzene (25) are required to observe energy transfer. This study confirms that in the radiolysis of cyclohexane, solutes at millimolar concentrations interact mainly with the electron and not with excited molecules.
