Reactions with Inorganic Compounds Containing Hydrogen

1 Reactions with Inorganic Compounds Containing Hydrogen 

Reactions of N2F4 or NFg with simple inorganic compounds that contain bound hydrogen are compiled in Table 23. Reactions with CH4 are added for comparison. Reactions with other hydrocarbons are surveyed on pp. 381/2. 

Reactions of N2F4/NF2 with Inorganic, Hydrogen-Containing Compounds. Underlined reactions are described in more detail in the text.

Many inorganic and organic compounds possessing labile hydrogen atoms add acrylonitrile readily with the formation of compounds containing a cyancethyl grouping (—CH j. CH2. CN). This reaction is usually known as cyanoelhylation ... 

Synthesis of salicylic acid by the Kolbe-Schmitt process (see above) is an example for the direct carboxylation of aromatics.34 At the same time, it is also an example for the limitations of such reactions. Formal insertion of C02 into a C-H bond can usually be achieved with compounds containing active hydrogens (such as phenolates), and perhaps more importantly, the product carboxylic acids have to be stabilized by salt formation. Liberation of the free acid from such carboxylates requires a mineral acid and produces 1 equiv of inorganic salt (waste) (Scheme 6.1).
