Ring four carbons

Bulk mixed metal oxide catalytic materials consist of multiple metal oxide components. Such mixed metal oxide catalysts find wide application as selective oxidation catalysts for the synthesis of chemical intermediates. For example, bulk iron-molybdate catalysts are employed in the selective oxidation of CH3OH to H2CO [122], bulk bismuth-molybdates are the catalysts of choice for selective oxidation of CH2=CHCH3 to acrolein (CH2=CHCHO) and its further oxidation to acrylic acid (CH2=CHCOOH) [123], selective ammoxidation of CH2=CHCH3 to acrylonitrile (CH2=CHCN) [123], and selective oxidation of linear CH3CH2CH2CH3 to cyclic maleic anhydride consisting of a flve-membered ring (four carbons and one O atom) [124]. The characterization of the surface... 

Kekule advanced the venturesome notion that the six carbon atoms of benzene were joined together m a ring Four bonds to each carbon could be accommodated by a sys tern of alternating single and double bonds with one hydrogen on each carbon... 

Oxazine, metoxazine (or mazoxin), consists of a ring of four carbon atoms, one oxygen, and one nitrogen atom the two hetero atoms are in the 1,3-positions or meta ... 

The cyclopentadienide ion, C H , is a common organic anion that forms very stable complexes with metal cations. The anion is derived by removing a proton from cyclopentadiene, QH, with strong base. The molecule has a five-memhered ring of carbon atoms, with four carbon atoms attached to only one proton and one carbon atom bonded to two. Draw the Lewis... 

Non-Kolbe electrolysis of carboxylic acids can be directed towards a selective fragmentation, when the initially formed carbocation is better stabilized in the y-position by a hydroxy or trimethylsilyl group. In this way the reaction can be used for a three-carbon (Eq. 36) [335] (Table 14, No. 1) or four-carbon ring extension (Eq. 37) [27] (Table 14, Nos. 2-4). Furthermore it can be employed for the stereo-... 

The cationic pathway allows the conversion of carboxylic acids into ethers, acetals or amides. From a-aminoacids versatile chiral building blocks are accessible. The eliminative decarboxylation of vicinal diacids or P-silyl carboxylic acids, combined with cycloaddition reactions, allows the efficient construction of cyclobutenes or cyclohexadienes. The induction of cationic rearrangements or fragmentations is a potent way to specifically substituted cyclopentanoids and ring extensions by one-or four carbons. In view of these favorable qualities of Kolbe electrolysis, numerous useful applications of this old reaction can be expected in the future. 

Although rings of four carbons and larger are not generally planar (see p. 177), they will be treated as such in this section, since the correct number of isomers can be determined when this is done " and the principles are easier to visualize (see p. 173). 

This reaction has been extended to the expansion of rings by three or four carbons, by the use of a substrate containing (CH2)nX (n = 3 or 4) instead of CH2BT By this... 

For many years the catalytic air oxidation of benzene was the main source of maleic anhydride. Obviously, two carbons from each ring are wasted as carbon dioxide in this process. Although some is still made that way, most modem maleic anhydride plants are based on butane oxidation. Because butane is forecast to be plentiful and low-cost, new routes to four-carbon chemicals from maleic anhydride are under active development. 

An HPLC method was developed that confirmed the photodegradation of [14C] niclosamide in sterile, pH 5, 7, and 9 buffered aqueous solutions under artificial sunlight at 25.0 1.0°C [70]. These degradates were carbon dioxide and two- and four-carbon aliphatic acids formed by cleavage of both aromatic rings.
