Oxygen atoms, reaction with nitrogen

Of the many reviews on oxidation which are available, two in particular provide detailed coverage of the literature up to the early 1980s on aspects of oxidation at nitrogen. One of these, by Boyer, is a comprehensive survey of oxidation reactions of nitrogen compounds in which the number of oxygen atoms attached to nitrogen is increased. The other, by Rosenblatt and Burrows, deals with oxidation of amines. References to the primary literature have not always been included here if they are available from these two reviews. 

The radiative recombination (138) is the indicator reaction in the air afterglow titration method and its rate is so small that it is a negligible drain on the oxygen atom concentration. The nitrogen dioxide produced also reacts with oxygen atoms by the very fast reaction... 

Reaction in equation (d) occurs normally with tertiary phosphines " , reaction in equation (e) occurs with isocyanides , whereas reactions in equation (f) take place with Lewis bases that contain nitrogen and oxygen donor atoms " . Reactions with tertiary phosphines exhibit disproportionation [equation (g)], followed by the neutral substitution product ... 

When NOx concentration exceeds the threshold value of about 0.1%, the atomic oxygen reactions with nitrogen oxides, (6-74) and (6-75), become faster than their reactions with molecular oxygen (6-66) to form ozone. That actually explains the discharge poisoiung effect, which was first observed long ago by Andrews and Tait (1860). Even ozone molecules... 

Sulfonamides are sufficiently reactive to serve as nucleophiles in the reaction with difluorostyrenes under basic conditions (Scheme 27) [100]. Imines and oximes have also been utilized as nucleophiles to provide 3-fluoroisoquinolines and their V-oxides, respectively (Scheme 28) [101]. When the isoquinoline V-oxide was treated with an isocyanate, the oxygen atom on the nitrogen was consequently eliminated after the 1,3-dipolar addition to afford a l-amino-3-fluoroisoquinoline (Scheme 28).
