If the acid of the ammonium salt is an oxidising agent, then on heating the salt, mutual oxidation and reduction occurs. The oxidation products can be nitrogen or one of its oxides and the reactions can be explosive, for example ...

The chromates of the alkali metals and of magnesium and calcium are soluble in water the other chromates are insoluble. The chromate ion is yellow, but some insoluble chromates are red (for example silver chromate, Ag2Cr04). Chromates are often isomorph-ous with sulphates, which suggests that the chromate ion, CrO has a tetrahedral structure similar to that of the sulphate ion, SO4 Chromates may be prepared by oxidising chromium(III) salts the oxidation can be carried out by fusion with sodium peroxide, or by adding sodium peroxide to a solution of the chromium(IIl) salt. The use of sodium peroxide ensures an alkaline solution otherwise, under acid conditions, the chromate ion is converted into the orange-coloured dichromate ion ... 

Acetoxybenzene is prepared by the reaction of benzene with Pd(OAc)2[325,342-345], This reaction is regarded as a potentially useful method for phenol production from benzene, if carried out with only a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2. Extensive studies have been carried out on this reaction in order to achieve a high catalytic turnover. In addition to oxygen and Cu(II) salts, other oxidants, such as HNOi, nitrate[346,347], potassium peroxodisulfate[348], and heteropoly acids[349,3S0], are used. HNO is said to...

Oxidation. Acetaldehyde is readily oxidised with oxygen or air to acetic acid, acetic anhydride, and peracetic acid (see Acetic acid and derivatives). The principal product depends on the reaction conditions. Acetic acid [64-19-7] may be produced commercially by the Hquid-phase oxidation of acetaldehyde at 65°C using cobalt or manganese acetate dissolved in acetic acid as a catalyst (34). Liquid-phase oxidation in the presence of mixed acetates of copper and cobalt yields acetic anhydride [108-24-7] (35). Peroxyacetic acid or a perester is beheved to be the precursor in both syntheses. There are two commercial processes for the production of peracetic acid [79-21 -0]. Low temperature oxidation of acetaldehyde in the presence of metal salts, ultraviolet irradiation, or osone yields acetaldehyde monoperacetate, which can be decomposed to peracetic acid and acetaldehyde (36). Peracetic acid can also be formed directiy by Hquid-phase oxidation at 5—50°C with a cobalt salt catalyst (37) (see Peroxides and peroxy compounds). Nitric acid oxidation of acetaldehyde yields glyoxal [107-22-2] (38,39). Oxidations of /)-xylene to terephthaHc acid [100-21-0] and of ethanol to acetic acid are activated by acetaldehyde (40,41). 

Acidic Properties. As a typical acid, it reacts readily with alkaUes, basic oxides, and carbonates to form salts. The largest iadustrial appHcation of nitric acid is the reaction with ammonia to produce ammonium nitrate. However, because of its oxidising nature, nitric acid does not always behave as a typical acid. Bases having metallic radicals ia a reduced state (eg, ferrous and staimous hydroxide becoming ferric and stannic salts) are oxidized by nitric acid. Except for magnesium and manganese ia very dilute acid, nitric acid does not Hberate hydrogen upon reaction with metals. 

The three chemical reactions in the toluene—benzoic acid process are oxidation of toluene to form benzoic acid, oxidation of benzoic acid to form phenyl benzoate, and hydrolysis of phenyl benzoate to form phenol. A typical process consists of two continuous steps (13,14). In the first step, the oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid is achieved with air and cobalt salt catalyst at a temperature between 121 and 177°C. The reactor is operated at 206 kPa gauge (2.1 kg/cm g uge) and the catalyst concentration is between 0.1 and 0.3%. The reactor effluent is distilled and the purified benzoic acid is collected. The overall yield of this process is beheved to be about 68 mol % of toluene. 

Thallium (1) salts are oxidized only by very powerful oxidizing agents, eg, MnO or Cl, iu acid solutions. The properties of the more important thallium compounds are Hsted in Table 2. 

Bismuth trioxide is practically insoluble in water it is definitely a basic oxide and hence dissolves in acids to form salts. Acidic properties are just barely detectable, eg, its solubiUty slightly increases with increasing base concentration, presumably because of the formation of bismuthate(III) ions, such as Bi(OH) g and related species. 

Deposits contained organic acids formed by oxidation of rolling oils. Up to 40% by weight of the lumps shown in Fig. 4.27A and B was iron oxides, hydroxides, and organic-acid iron salts. Acidic species concentrated in the deposits. 

A carbonyl group can be protected as a sulfur derivative—for example, a dithio acetal or ketal, 1,3-dithiane, or 1,3-dithiolane—by reaction of the carbonyl compound in the presence of an acid catalyst with a thiol or dithiol. The derivatives are in general cleaved by reaction with Hg(II) salts or oxidation acidic hydrolysis is unsatisfactory. The acyclic derivatives are formed and hydrolyzed much more readily than their cyclic counterparts. Representative examples of formation and cleavage are shown below.

A 2,4)6-trisubstituted 2H or 4/f) pyran (38, R = R = Ph) was reported to result in low yield by catalytic reduction of 2,4,6-triphenyl-pyrylium salts by oxidation or by treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid it regenerated the triphenylpyrylium cation. There was no subsequent confirmation of this reaction. The reduction of pyrylium salts with sodium borohydride affords 1,5-diones by way of 4H-pyrans and 2,4-dien-l-ones by way of 2H-pyrans. ... 

The chromic acid oxidizing reagent is prepared by dissolving 13.4 g of chromium trioxide in 25 ml of water. To this solution is added 12 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid. An additional minimum quantity of water is added if necessary to dissolve any precipitated salts. 

A detailed study revealed that sulphides may react with nitric acid to give sulphoxides, sulphones and their nitro derivatives54. However, under suitable conditions the nitric acid oxidation of sulphides leads to a selective formation of sulphoxides. This is probably due to the formation of a sulphonium salt 30 which is resistant to further oxidation50 (equation 12). 

From the preceding discussion, it is easily understood that direct polyesterifications between dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic diols (Scheme 2.8, R3 = H) and polymerizations involving aliphatic or aromatic esters, acids, and alcohols (Scheme 2.8, R3 = alkyl group, and Scheme 2.9, R3 = H) are rather slow at room temperature. These reactions must be carried out in the melt at high temperature in the presence of catalysts, usually metal salts, metal oxides, or metal alkoxides. Vacuum is generally applied during the last steps of the reaction in order to eliminate the last traces of reaction by-product (water or low-molar-mass alcohol, diol, or carboxylic acid such as acetic acid) and to shift the reaction toward the... 

The various methods that are used for the production of aromatic acids from the corresponding substituted toluenes are outlined in Figure 1. The first two methods -chlorination/hydrolysis and nitric acid oxidation - have the disadvantage of relatively low atom utilization (ref. 13) with the concomitant inorganic salt production. Catalytic autoxidation, in contrast, has an atom utilization of 87% (for Ar=Ph) and produces no inorganic salts and no chlorinated or nitrated byproducts. It consumes only the cheap raw material, oxygen, and produces water as the only byproduct.

While the above examples demonstrate that product control to a significant extent is possible in oxythallation by careful choice of substrate or reaction conditions, the synthetic utility of oxythallation has been illustrated most convincingly by the results obtained with highly ionic thallium(III) salts, especially the nitrate (hereafter abbreviated TTN). Unlike the sulfate, perchlorate, or fluoroborate salts (165), TTN can easily be obtained as the stable, crystalline trihydrate which is soluble in alcohols, carboxylic acids, ethers such as dimethoxyethane (glyme), and dilute mineral acids. Oxidations by TTN can therefore be carried out under a wide variety of experimental conditions.
