In the rabbit brain, the Nadi (a-naphthol, dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine) reaction showed marked activity of cytochrome oxidase in the caudate nucleus, the putamen, the anterior nucleus of the thalamus, the optic tectum, the interpeduncular nucleus. Golfs and Burdach s nuclei, and the inferior ohvary nucleus (Shimizu et al. 1957). A moderate reaction was seen in the neocortex, hippocampus, dentate gyrus, substantia nigra, cerebellar cortex and the nuclei of the cranial nerves. 

In 1973 Du Pont commenced production of another aromatic polytunide fibre, a poly-(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) marketed as Kevlar. It is produced by the fourth method of polyamide production listed in the introductory section of this chapter, namely the reaction of a diamine with a diacid chloride. Specifically, p-phenylenediamine is treated with terephthalyl chloride in a mixture of hexamethylphosphoramide and V-methylpyrrolidone (2 1) at -10°C Figure 18.32). 

When N,A/ -dimethyl-Af,N -diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine (231) underwent irradiation in die presence of oxygen, a remarkably regioselective reaction was observed, from which the /V,A/ -dimediylindolo[2,3-f ]carbazole (190) was obtained, without coformation of die other possible isomeric product, indolo[3,2-/)]carbazole (4). The expected intermediate 232, where only one ring closure had taken place, could not be detected. The authors attributed this fact to a two-photon autosensitization mechanism in which die conversion of 231 into 190 is sensitized by 232, permitting accumulation of 232 only in extremely small concentrations (83JA6268). 

Another assay that is very similar to the ABTS assay is the AGV-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DMPD assay). In the presence of a suitable oxidant solution at an acidic pH, DMPD is converted to a stable and colored DMPD radical cation (DMPD +). Antioxidants capable of transferring a hydrogen atom to the radical cause the decol-orization of the solution, which is spectrophotometrically measured at 505 nm. The reaction is stable, and the endpoint is taken to be the measure of antioxidant efficiency. Antioxidant ability is expressed as Trolox equivalents using a calibration curve plotted with different amounts of Trolox (Fogliano and others 1999). This method is used to measure hydrophilic compounds. The presence of organic acids, especially citric acid, in some extracts may interfere with the DMPD assay, and so this assay should be used with caution in those extracts rich in organic acids (Gil and others 2000). 

The kinetics of PAA, synthesized from 4,4 -oxydianiline and pyromellitic dianhydride, solid-state imidization both in filler absence and with addition of 2 phr Na+-montmorillonite was studied [1], The nanofiller was treated by solution of P-phenylenediamine in HC1 and then washed by de-ionized water to ensure a complete removal of chloride ions. The conversion (imidization) degree Q was determined as a function of reaction duration t with the aid of Fourier transformation of IR-spectra bands 726 and 1014 cm 1. The samples for FTIR study were obtained by spin-coating of PAA/Na+-montmorillonite mixture solution in N,N-dimethylacetamide on KBr disks, which then were dried in vacuum for 48 h at 303 K. It was shown, that the used in paper [1] method gives exfoliated nanocomposites. The other details of nanocomposites polyimid/Na+-montmorillonite synthesis and study in paper [1] were adduced. The solid-state imidization process was made at four temperatures 7) 423, 473, 503 and 523 K. 

Depending on the molar ratio, the reactions of p-phenylenediamines and EMME gave N-(4-aminophenyl)aminomethylenemalonates (167) (86-EUP174832) or l,4-bis(aminomethyIenemalonates) (168) (49JCS1017 86-EUP174832). 

Triphenylamine (TPA), AWW W -tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) and dimethylaniline (DMA) have been popular substrates for reaction under pulse radiolysis conditions. One of the earlier reports dealt with the formation of the radical cation of TMPD by reaction (k = 3 x 108 M 1 s 1) with the peroxy radical derived from oxidation of methylene chloride (CHCI2O2) by pulse radiolysis26. DMA is also oxidized to its radical cation by the same reagent (k = 2.5 x 107 M 1s 1). Since then it has been... 

As an example, the reaction of tetrachloromethane with iV,iV,iV, iV -tetramethyl-l,4-phen-ylenediamine (TMPDA) can be discussed. The presence of p-benzoquinone (Q) in the system provokes electron transfer (Sosonkin et al. 1983). Because benzoquinone itself and tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine interact faintly, the effect is evidently a result of redox catalysis. The following equations reflect such kind of catalysis ... 

The most extensive research on furanic polyamides is recent (33) and deals essentially with furanic-aromatic structures, although an important effort was also devoted to all-fiiranic compositions. The reaction of the diacid 11a with various aromatic diamines leads to high-molecular weight polymers with good thermal stability and ciystallinity. Structure 23, obtained with p-phenylenediamine, exhibited features resembling closely those of polyaramides ... 

Silver catalysis of the reduction of silver ions appears to be a necessary condition for normal development. The reaction of developing agents including several types of chemical compounds, e.g., hydroquinone, p-aminophenol, hydroxylamine, catechol, and p-phenylenediamine, are known to exhibit this catalysis to a high degree. 

The kinetics of the reduction of silver ions by p-phenylenediamine differ in important respects from those of the reduction by hydroquinone and hydroxylamine. Once more, the silver catalysis is marked and the reaction rate varies directly as the area of the catalyst surface, but the rate is directly proportional to the silver ion concentration (James, 7). 

The data for the p-phenylenediamine-silver ion reaction are not accounted for by Bagdasar yan s treatment. On the basis of an adsorption mechanism, the data would suggest that the important phase for the catalyzed reaction is adsorption of the p-phenylenediamine by the silver catalyst. The extent of the adsorption would depend upon the surface conditions of the catalyst, which apparently depend on changes in the protective colloid or in the salt concentration. A catalytic mechanism involving activation of the p-phenylenediamine by the catalyst would be consistent with the observation of Weissberger and Thomas that colloidal silver markedly catalyzes the oxygen oxidation of p-phenylenediamine. 

A transition step between the reaction system just considered (silver ions, p-phenylenediamine, silver sol) and actual physical development of a fixed photographic plate or film is supplied by the investigations of Arens (27, 28). He used a series of silver, gold, and silver sulfide sols which had been coated on glass plates, using gelatin as the binding material. In this way he obtained plates in which colloidal particles... 

Aromatic polyimides are synthesized by the reactions of dianhydrides with diamines, for example, the polymerization of pyromellitic anhydride with p-phenylenediamine to form poly(pyromeUitimido-l,4-phenylene) (XLV) [de Abajo, 1988, 1999 Hergenrother, 1987 Johnston et al., 1987 Maier, 2001]. Solubility considerations sometimes result in using the half acid-half ester of the dianhydride instead of the dianhydride. 

The reaction of iV-phenyl-o-phenylenediamine (10) with DMAD gives a mixture of products consisting of l-phenyl-2-oxo-3-carbomethoxy-methylene-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline (11) and l-phenyl-2,3-dicarbo-methoxy-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline (12) [Eq. (4)]. m-Phenylene-diamine and p-phenylenediamine give the corresponding bisenamines 13... 

Glucose (65) kits Commercial kits are based on the enzymatic process shown in equation 16, followed by a chromogenic oxidation process catalyzed by peroxidase, similar to equation 27, involving 4- aminoantipyrine (81) and a phenol or aniUne derivative, leading to a quinoneimine dye. Among the latter aromatic substrates in use are A -ethyl-Al-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3, 5- dimethoxyaniline (92) , phenol , p-hydroxybenzoic acid and p-hydroxybenzenesidfonate other chromogenic reactions are peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of iV,iV,iV, iV -tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (89) and D-ditoluidine (93) . d... 

Kennedy and Stock reported the first use of Oxone for many common oxidation reactions such as formation of benzoic acid from toluene and of benzaldehyde, of ben-zophenone from diphenyhnethane, of frawi-cyclohexanediol Ifom cyclohexene, of acetone from 2-propanol, of hydroquinone from phenol, of e-caprolactone from cyclohexanone, of pyrocatechol from salicylaldehyde, of p-dinitrosobenzene from p-phenylenediamine, of phenylacetic acid from 2-phenethylamine, of dodecylsulfonic acid from dodecyl mercaptan, of diphenyl sulfone from diphenyl sulfide, of triphenylphosphine oxide from triphenylphosphine, of iodoxy benzene from iodobenzene, of benzyl chloride from toluene using NaCl and Oxone and bromination of 2-octene using KBr and Oxone . Thus, they... 

Reductive alkylation is an efficient method to synthesize secondary amines from primary amines. The aim of this study is to optimize sulfur-promoted platinum catalysts for the reductive alkylation of p-aminodiphenylamine (ADPA) with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) to improve the productivity of N-(l,3-dimethylbutyl)-N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6-PPD). In this study, we focus on Pt loading, the amount of sulfur, and the pH as the variables. The reaction was conducted in the liquid phase under kinetically limited conditions in a continuously stirred tank reactor at a constant hydrogen pressure. Use of the two-factorial design minimized the number of experiments needed to arrive at the optimal solution. The activity and selectivity of the reaction was followed using the hydrogen-uptake and chromatographic analysis of products. The most optimal catalyst was identified to be l%Pt-0.1%S/C prepared at a pH of 6. 

A method of analysing antioxidant activity with respect to the DMPD" cation-radical (N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine cation radical) has been proposed by Fogliano and co-workers [31]. The determination principle involves colorimetric observation of the disappearance of the cation-radical colour at the absorbed light wavelength of 505 nm after a reaction time of 10 min. Coloured cation-radical DMPD" in the assay is obtained by reaction of DMPD with iron chloride in an acetate buffer at pH 5.25. The decrease in absorbance of the reaction mixture caused by antioxidants is compared to the calibration curve, prepared with a series of dilutions of Trolox [32]. 

Stade observed an interesting oxidation with tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone. In methylene chloride an intense red coloration appears, but no signal in the ESR spectrum. Apparently only a charge-transfer complex 61 is formed, without electron transfer. A similar observation has been made in the reaction of N, N, N, N -tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine with tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone in non-polar solvents Here, as in our case, electron transfer does not take place until a polar solvent such as acetonitrile is added. The ESR spectrum initially shows the doublet of 55 (23,2 Gauss) overlapping with the sharp sin et of tetrachloro-semi-quinone 62 (which has a somewhat smaller g factor). The semiquinone signal slowly disappears until finally only the doublet of 58 remains. The following scheme summarizes the reaction course ...
