Oxygen oxide with

Reactions of a series of chlorine-oxygen oxidants with have also been investigated by the same authors. In contrast to reactions with HOCl reacts less rapidly with than does Cla. Consideration of the metal-ion redox potentials suggests that the greater reactivity of with Qg is a result of the possibility of... 

All organic compounds are slowly and continuously oxidized by air oxygen. Oxidation with oxygen, or by other means, is an established method of chemical transformation and structural investigation. 

At high temperatures oxygen reacts with the nitrogen in the air forming small amounts of nitrogen oxide (p. 210). Sulphur burns with a blue flame when heated in air to form sulphur dioxide SO2, and a little sulphur trioxide SO3. Selenium and tellurium also burn with a blue flame when heated in air, but form only their dioxides, Se02 and Te02. 

An exception is, of course, metal-catalyzed oxidation with molecular oxygen. 

In contrast to oxidation in water, it has been found that 1-alkenes are directly oxidized with molecular oxygen in anhydrous, aprotic solvents, when a catalyst system of PdCl2(MeCN)2 and CuCl is used together with HMPA. In the absence of HMPA, no reaction takes place(100]. In the oxidation of 1-decene, the Oj uptake correlates with the amount of 2-decanone formed, and up to 0.5 mol of O2 is consumed for the production of 1 mol of the ketone. This result shows that both O atoms of molecular oxygen are incorporated into the product, and a bimetallic Pd(II) hydroperoxide coupled with a Cu salt is involved in oxidation of this type, and that the well known redox catalysis of PdXi and CuX is not always operalive[10 ]. The oxidation under anhydrous conditions is unique in terms of the regioselective formation of aldehyde 59 from X-allyl-A -methylbenzamide (58), whereas the use of aqueous DME results in the predominant formation of the methyl ketone 60. Similar results are obtained with allylic acetates and allylic carbonates[102]. The complete reversal of the regioselectivity in PdCli-catalyzed oxidation of alkenes is remarkable. 

Oxygenation takes place with peracids. The cyclopalladated benzylamine complex 466 is converted into the salicylaldamine complex 504 by the treatment with MCPBA[456] or /-BuO H[457]. Similarly, azobenzene is oxidized with MCPBA at the ortho position[458]. 

Furan can be catalyticaHy oxidized in the vapor phase with oxygen-containing gases to maleic anhydride (93). Oxidation with bromine or in an electrochemical process using bromide ion gives 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran [332-77-4] (19) which is a cycHc acetal of maleic dialdehyde (94—96). 

Benzophenone Process. Benzophenone, (CgH5 )2C=0, reacts with ammonia to form diphenylmethanimine, (CgHg )2C=NH. In the presence of copper catalysts, this is oxidized with oxygen to benzophenone azine, (CgHg )2C=N—N=C(CgHg The formation of the imine and its... 

Propellant. The catalytic decomposition of 70% hydrogen peroxide or greater proceeds rapidly and with sufficient heat release that the products are oxygen and steam (see eq. 5). The thmst developed from this reaction can be used to propel torpedoes and other small missiles (see Explosives and propellants). An even greater amount of energy is developed if the hydrogen peroxide or its decomposition products are used as an oxidant with a variety of fuels. 

Mixed oxides of Fe(IV) can be prepared by heating iron(III) oxide with a metal oxide or hydroxide in oxygen at elevated temperatures. These black compounds have general formulas M FeO, M monovalent, or M2Fe04, M divalent, but do not contain discrete [FeOJ" ions. They are readily decomposed by mineral acids to iron(III) and oxygen. 

Impurities can be removed by formation of a gaseous compound, as in the fire-refining of copper (qv). Sulfur is removed from the molten metal by oxidation with air and evolution of sulfur dioxide. Oxygen is then removed by reduction with C, CO, in the form of natural gas, reformed... 

Heterocychc A/-oxides can react at the oxygen atom with a variety of electrophilic reagents to give adducts which, according to the reagent and reaction conditions, may be stable or react further (39). Heterocychc A/-oxides are reduced by reaction of nucleophiles at the N-oxide oxygen. 

Bina Selenides. Most biaary selenides are formed by beating selenium ia the presence of the element, reduction of selenites or selenates with carbon or hydrogen, and double decomposition of heavy-metal salts ia aqueous solution or suspension with a soluble selenide salt, eg, Na2Se or (NH 2S [66455-76-3]. Atmospheric oxygen oxidizes the selenides more rapidly than the corresponding sulfides and more slowly than the teUurides. Selenides of the alkah, alkaline-earth metals, and lanthanum elements are water soluble and readily hydrolyzed. Heavy-metal selenides are iasoluble ia water. Polyselenides form when selenium reacts with alkah metals dissolved ia hquid ammonia. Metal (M) hydrogen selenides of the M HSe type are known. Some heavy-metal selenides show important and useful electric, photoelectric, photo-optical, and semiconductor properties. Ferroselenium and nickel selenide are made by sintering a mixture of selenium and metal powder.
