Ozone adduct with

Titanium oxide dichloride [13780-39-8] TiOCl2, is a yellow hygroscopic soHd that may be prepared by bubbling ozone or chlorine monoxide through titanium tetrachloride. It is insoluble in nonpolar solvents but forms a large number of adducts with oxygen donors, eg, ether. It decomposes to titanium tetrachloride and titanium dioxide at temperatures of ca 180°C (136). 

The reaction of singlet oxygen with conjugated double bonds usually is a 1,4-cycloaddition leading to formation of derivatives of the 1,2-diox -ene ring system. This can be achieved either by photooxidation or by reaction in the presence of triphenyl phosphite-ozone adduct (Section Vin.D.2), shown in equations 85 and 86 . ... 

Solid styrene was exposed at — 196°C to ozone, in an attempt to discern whether the behavior of the system is similar to that of olefinic compounds, yielding an ozonide, or to that of aromatic compounds, yielding a 7r-complex. On heating to about — 100°C, an adduct is formed that is stable until about —55 °C, when benzaldehyde and a peroxidic polymer are slowly obtained. The structure of the adduct is probably that of a POZ, based on the similarity of the IR spectrum with the ozone adduct of vinyl chloride described in the preceding paragraph . 

The oxidation of530 with the ozone adduct 531 is carried out at —78 °C, giving the oxaphosphetane 532. Then, tritiated ethanol is added and the reaction mixture heated to room temperature. The rate of tritium incorporation thus obtained is very high 262) (for an explanation of the mechanism see Chapter 2). 

A further simplification is obtained by the oxidative dimerization of the C20 phosphonium salt (45). The oxidation with molecular oxygen and with phosphite-ozone adducts was described by H. J. Bestmann and co-workers43 . The use of... 

Windaus in 1933 derived the skeletal stmcture of vitamin D2. He found the elemental formula to be C2gH440. The side chain was unequivocally characterized by x-ray crystallography later, in 1948. Reindel and Kipphan (9) in 1932 ozonized the side chain and elucidated the C22 double bond. The reaction to form a Diels Alder adduct with maleic anhydride and the typical diene uv spectrum led to the conclusion there was a diene in the B ting. In 1934 Fetnholz and Chakravorty (10) determined the provitamin had a 3 P-hydroxy group because the molecule could be precipitated with digitonin, a reaction characteristic of the 3 p-ol functionality in steroids. 

Such a process can produce 02( Ag) with 80% efficiency and similar reactions involving peroxide decomposition have been documented [21]. Of particular interest is the use of the decomposition of the endoperoxides of aromatic compounds, which, when appropriately substituted can be used in water [22] and of water soluble phosphite/ozone adducts [23]. Such chemical methods can provide a critical control for reactions in which photoexcitation of a sensitizer is suspected of doing more than just produce 02(1Ag). A prime example involves the rose bengal sensitized photooxidation of relatively unreactive alkenes [24],... 

The ozonolysis of diarylfuroxans was studied by Kinney and Harwood. In their earlier paper,272 they found that benzoic acid was formed from diphenylfuroxan, and they interpreted this as evidence for the presence of a C=C bond in the heterocyclic ring, as in structure 4. Later, the isolation of isomeric anisylphenylfuroxans by Meisenheimer et al.22 came to their attention, and Kinney269 subjected the two forms to ozonolysis. Both formed a yellow ozone adduct of unknown composition, which with cold dilute sodium hydroxide gave the salt of the acid derived from the 3-substituent, together with a red residue which on further hydrolysis with hot hydroxide formed the acid of the 4-substituent (Eq. 10). This work provided valuable support for Meisenheimer s contention that his compounds were positional isomers, both based on the furoxan ring structure (1). 

The rather surprising observation has been made that gemacrene gives totally different products when it reacts with singlet oxygen, generated in a photosensitization reaction, than when it reacts with the triphenyl-phosphite-ozone adduct. There does not seem to be a clear-cut rationalization of this odd behaviour,... 

The yield data in Figures 3 and 4 can be rationalized on similar grounds. In the cis case the initial olefin-ozone adduct can be diverted to 3-heptene ozonide by butyraldehyde, and by doing so can eliminate a precursor to 3-hexene ozonide. This process continues to operate throughout a wide range of aldehyde concentrations with the total ozonide... 

The probable reaction course to the nitroalkane (XI), after the formation of the amine-ozone adduct (Reaction 1), is shown by Reactions 7 to 9 and summed up in Reaction 10. A primary amine oxide would not be expected to be stable and should rearrange to the hydroxylamine (IX, Reaction 7). A similar set of reactions (Reaction 8) should result in the nitrosoalkane (X), which should then be converted to the nitroalkane (XI) as shown in Reaction 9. Evidence for this series of reactions was the observation of the blue color of the nitrosoalkane (X) throughout the ozonation and the demonstration, in separate experiments, that the hydroxylamine (IX) reacts with two mole equivalents of ozone and the nitrosoalkane (X) with one mole equivalent of ozone, each to give the nitroalkane (XI). 

The fate of 0 (if it is ever produced in natural waters corresponding to OH) is transformation into the ozonide anion under oxide conditions (5.127), which is an important intermediate in alkaline solution with a lifetime of about 10 s. Ozonide anion (not to be mixed up with the olefin-ozone adduct. Chapter 5.7.4) is easily produced through electron transfer onto dissolved ozone the electron affinity of O3 is several times (2.1 eV) that of O2 (0.44 eV Pichat et al. 2000, Addamo et al. 2005). 

The synthesis of 3 may be simplified further by linking the C20- units 59 or 60 oxidatively or reductively, respectively. Thus reduction of 60 with low-valency titanium compounds [64] or oxidation of 59 with triphenylphosphite-ozone adduct [65] afford 3 in yields of 85% and 75%, respectively. In a process developed at BASF the phosphonium salt 59 is reacted with hydrogen peroxide in aqueous alkaline solution [62]. After separation of triphenylphosphine oxide and thermal isomerization, (all- )-3 conforming to type specifications is obtained in yields of approximately 70% based on vitamin A acetate (26) (Scheme 17). 

Additionally in the case of ozone reaction with electron-rich compounds, such as phenols (phenolates) and akoxylated aromatics in aqueous phase again OH radicals are formed, most probably via the mechanism of formation of the respective ozone adduct [88,89]. For example it has been established that as a result of the electron transfer from phenol to ozone (reaction 11) at neutral pH the radical anion O3 " is obtained with an 5deld of 22% [90]. 

Anthryl ethers afford protection to alcohol functions treatment of the derivative with singlet oxygen, generated via the triphenyl phosphite-ozone adduct, followed by mild catalytic reduction, effects regeneration of the free alcohol (Scheme 136). 

Germacrene (318) reacts with the triphenyl phosphite-ozone adduct at —45°C at the 4,5-bond to give (319) after reduction, but with singlet oxygen initial attack occurs at the 7,13-bond, and further reaction gives the exocyclic...
