Monoacylation of diols.1 Monoacylation of unsymmetrical 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diols can be effected by acylation of the dibutylstannylene derivatives, followed by quenching with oxalic acid or ClSi(CH3)2C6H5. This process effects monoacylation of the more-substituted hydroxyl group, even a tertiary one. This method also is... 

The first co-reactant discovered was oxalate in 1977. The introduction of the co-reactant in ECL exhibits distinct advantage in comparison with the annihilation reaction (1) it can overcome the limited potential window of solvent and the poor stability of radical anions or cations (2) the coreactant ECL can be beneficial for some fluorescent compounds that have only a electrochemical reduction or oxidation (3) the use of co-reactant can produce more intense ECL emission when the annihilation reaction between oxidized and reduced species is not efficient (4) it can eliminate the oxygen quenching effect frequently encountered in ion annihilation reaction and facilitate the ECL in the air. All commercially available ECL analytical instruments are based on this pathway. According to the generated intermediates and the polarity of the applied potential, the corresponding coreactant ECL can be classified as oxidative-reduction ECL and reductive-oxidation ECL, respectively. 

A peculiar effect was observed in the decomposition of 19 a with anthracene as fluorescer when oxygen was carefully removed from the solutions an increase of the chemiluminescence decay rate and of the dioxetane cleavage resulted. It was suggested that this was due to a catalytic effect of triplet anthracene (formed by energy transfer from triplet formate) on the decomposition of the dioxetane. When oxygen is present, triplet anthracene is quenched. Whether such a catalytic effect of triplet anthracene or similar compounds on dioxetane cleavage actually exists has not yet been fully established positive effects were observed by M. M. Rauhut and coworkers 24> in oxalate chemiluminescence and by S. Mazur and C. S. Foote 80> in the chemiluminescent decomposition of tetramethoxy-dioxetane, where zinc tetraphenylporphy-rin seems to exert a catalytic effect. However, the decomposition of trimethyl dioxetane exhibits no fluorescer catalysis 78h... 

All these results can be explained in terms of the model proposed above (cf. Fig. 11). Namely, with ferrous oxalate having a standard redox potential E° (Ox/R) of —0.2 V (SCE), which is a little more negative than the E of the surface trapped hole located ca. 0.5 V above E , the surface trapped hole is effectively quenched by the rapid reduction, and the photoanodic current flows without decomposition. With ferrocyanide, having an E(0x/R) of 0.2 V (SCE), which is more positive than the E of the surface trapped hole, the surface trapped holes are accumulated to the extent that the surface potential created will level it down to the E(0x/R) of the redox couple. At this point, the rates of nu-cleophillic attack of H2O and OH to the surface trapped holes are still low and the electrode decomposition is prevented. 

Chromate(VI) has been reported to undergo reduction to Crv as a result of PET between its LMCT excited state and an external electron donor. In the study carried out for several aliphatic alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, 2-methyl-propan-2-ol) two pathways of PET were identified one-electron transfer for intermolecular and two-electron transfer for intramolecular systems [96,97]. The intermolecular mechanism of the CrVI excited state quenching was also found for phenol or its derivatives [98], whereas in the case of an anion donor (such as oxalate) an effect of external cations was observed [99],... 

Structure on hydrogel properties of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate determined. " Polymers bearing tertiary amino groups have been synthesised and their fluorescence spectra found to be significantly quenched while maleic anhydride " and cyclododecanones have been found to be effective initiators of the photopolymerisation of styrene. Poly(methylphenylsilane) is also an effective photoinitiator for styrenes and acrylates via a photolytic process to give silyl radicals. Iron oxalate is also an effective photo initiator for acrylate monomers while a theoretical description of the kinetics of free radical dye-initiated polymerisation via an electron transfer process has been proposed. Using the Marcus theory it has been shown that the rate of electron transfer can affect the rate of initiation. 

The synthesis of diethyl l,l-difluoro-2-oxoalkylphosphonates has been reported by a cerium-mediated reaction between diethyl 1-lithio-1,1-difluoromethylphosphonate and ethyl esters at low temperature in THF. After acidic quench at low temperature, diethyl I, I -difluoro-2-oxoalkyIphosphonates are isolated in good yield.- Addition of diethyl 1-lithio-1,1-difluoromethylphosphonate to di-ferf-butyl oxalate at low temperature in THF affords exclusively the addition product, an unusually stable ferf-butyl hemiketal. When a solution of this material is heated at reflux in ( ,1 f, or chromatographed on silica gel, only a few percent is converted to the hydrate. This conversion is best effected by dissolving the hemiketal in MeCN followed by reaction with aqueous Nal ICO . Subsequent azeotropic dehydration with CgHg affords diethyl l,l-difluoro-2-oxo-2-(fert-butoxycar-bonyl)ethylphosphonate. 5... 

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is utilized as a cofactor to stabilize the chloroplast stroma, in quenching free radicals and reacting with hydroxy radicals and in the biosynthesis of tartaric acid and oxalic acid (6), important organic acids in grapes, and many vegetables. The effect of CA on ascorbic acid content differs with commodity,... 

Errata were published to the papers by Bais et al. [47] and Veluri et al. [49] in which the claims of differential phytotoxicity of (-) and (+) catechin and the degree of phytotoxicity of (-)-catechin were substantially reduced. The same laboratory [59] then reported that low doses of catechins that might at times be present in soil can stimulate growth of Arabidopsis thaliana. They attributed this effect to induction of low levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). They also reported that these doses induced pathogen resistance, an effect observed with low doses of other chemical inducers of ROS [60]. Most plants are not very sensitive to (-)-catechin, and some may be even more resistant by quenching of ROS with oxalate according to Weir et al. [61 ].
