Ozone adducts

There is a continuing interest in the use of phosphite-ozone adducts as sources of singlet oxygen and as reagents for mimicking the reactions of this species. The commercially available phosphite (54) forms an ozone adduct of striking stability. Decomposition of the adduct only becomes appreciable at temperatures > 0 °C the decomposition exhibits first-order kinetics, so that at 10 °C= 9.10 x 10 min and= 76.2 min. These... 

Scheme 12.17 gives some examples of oxidations by singlet oxygen. The reaction in Entry 1 was used to demonstrate that 102 can be generated from H202 and CIO-. Similarly, the reaction in Entry 2 was used to verify that the phosphite-ozone adducts... 

Alkylidenetriphenylphosphoranes are oxidized by phosphite-ozone adducts.61 Ylides of the general structure (47) afford alkenes (R1 or R2 = H) or ketones (R1 or R2 H). N.m.r. evidence suggests that the former reaction proceeds via a quinquecovalent phosphorus intermediate (Scheme 13). 

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 .
