Oxidation. Maleic and fumaric acids are oxidized in aqueous solution by ozone [10028-15-6] (qv) (85). Products of the reaction include glyoxyhc acid [298-12-4], oxalic acid [144-62-7], and formic acid [64-18-6], Catalytic oxidation of aqueous maleic acid occurs with hydrogen peroxide [7722-84-1] in the presence of sodium tungstate(VI) [13472-45-2] (86) and sodium molybdate(VI) [7631-95-0] (87). Both catalyst systems avoid formation of tartaric acid [133-37-9] and produce i j -epoxysuccinic acid [16533-72-5] at pH values above 5. The reaction of maleic anhydride and hydrogen peroxide in an inert solvent (methylene chloride [75-09-2]) gives permaleic acid [4565-24-6], HOOC—CH=CH—CO H (88) which is useful in Baeyer-ViUiger reactions. Both maleate and fumarate [142-42-7] are hydroxylated to tartaric acid using an osmium tetroxide [20816-12-0]/io 2LX.e [15454-31 -6] catalyst system (89). 

Better results are obtained by transferring 25.0 mL of the diluted hydrogen peroxide solution to a conical flask, and adding 100 mL 1M(1 20) sulphuric acid. Pass a slow stream of carbon dioxide or nitrogen through the flask, add 10 mL of 10 per cent potassium iodide solution, followed by three drops of 3 per cent ammonium molybdate solution. Titrate the liberated iodine immediately with standard 0.1M sodium thiosulphate in the usual way. 

The use of molybdenum catalysts in combination with hydrogen peroxide is not so common. Nevertheless, there are a number of systems in which molybdates have been employed for the activation of hydrogen peroxide. A catalytic amount of sodium molybdate in combination with monodentate ligands (e.g., hexaalkyl phosphorus triamides or pyridine-N-oxides), and sulfuric acid allowed the epoxidation of simple linear or cyclic olefins [46]. The selectivity obtained by this method was quite low, and significant amounts of diol were formed, even though highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide (>70%) was employed. 

Olas and Wachowicz (2002) investigated the effects of tranx-resveratrol and vitamin C on oxidative stress in blood platelets. The level of 02 in control blood platelets and platelets incubated with resveratrol or vitamin C was recorded using a chemiluminescence method. On the other hand, Oh and others (2006) reported the x02 quenching activities of various freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices by measuring their inhibitory effects on the rubrene oxidation induced by x02 from disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide by sodium molybdate in a microemulsion system. 

Molybdenum and Tungsten Peroxide Compounds. Pour ammonium molybdate and sodium tungstate solutions into separate test tubes, acidify them with sulphuric acid, and add several drops of a 1 % hydrogen peroxide solution to each tube. How does the colour of the solutions change Write the equations of the reactions.

Metallic potassium and sodium are explosively converted into the hydroxides when brought into contact with concentrated solutions of hydrogen peroxide many of the heavier metals such as zinc and iron, and especially aluminium,3 are readily changed into their respective hydroxides, whilst chromium, arsenic, and molybdenum are oxidised respectively to chromic, arsenic, and molybdic acids. Colloidal tellurium yields telluric acid with very dilute solutions of peroxide4 the crystalline modification reacts slowly with 60 per cent, peroxide at 100° C. 

Oxidation of the Schiff bases (19) made from the monoamide of DAMN (derived from DAMN by hydration of one of the nitrile functions) gives 4-cyanoimidazole-5-carboxamides (20) in good yields ( 70% or more) (Scheme 2.1.7). Such oxidations can be readily accomplished using hydrogen peroxide with a catalytic amount of sodium molybdate fSl]. 

Transition metal catalysts not only increase the reaction rate but may also affect the outcome of the oxidation, especially the stereochemistry of the products. Whereas hydrogen peroxide alone in acetonitrile oxidizes alkenes to epoxides [729], osmic acid catalyzes syn hydroxylation [736], and tungstic acid catalyzes anti hydroxylation [737]. The most frequently used catalysts are titanium trichloride [732], vanadium pentoxide [733,134], sodium vanadate [735], selenium dioxide [725], chromium trioxide [134], ammonium molybdate [736], tungsten trioxide [737], tungstic acid [737],... 

No reaction took place with hydrogen peroxide and tri-n-butylamine in the absence of sodium molybdate. The observation that tri-n-butylamine is an effective catalyst led us to evaluate the reaction with a range of structurally different amines. The results are reported in Table 3.

Benzyl phenyl sulphide, norbornene, cw-cyclooctene, and 4-vinyl-1-cyclohexene were obtained from Aldrich and (IS)-(-)-a-pinene from Fluka. Phenyl sulphide was prepared from benzene and sulphur chloride following the literature procedure[9]. Reference samples of sulphoxides and sulphones were prepared by oxidation of sulphides with sodium periodate[10] and hydrogen peroxide[ll] respectively. Reference samples of epoxides were made by following Kaneda et al.[ 2 procedure. Metal phthalocyanines[13] were prepared from appropriate metal salt, 1,2-dicyanobenzene with ammonium molybdate as catalyst and were characterized by elemental analysis. 

The phase-transfer-assisted permanganate oxidation of alkynes and alkenes has been reviewed. Terminal and internal alkynes are oxidized to 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds by the combined action of diphenyl disulphide, ammonium peroxidisulphate and water or by sodium periodate in the presence of ruthenium dioxide (equation 34). Other reagents for the conversion of acetylenes into 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds are hydrogen peroxide in the presence of (2,6-dicarboxylatopyridine)iron(II), the complex oxo(A, A -ethylenebissalicylideneiminato)chromium(V) trifluoromethanesulphonate (216)and ruthenium tetroxide as a mediator in electrooxidation. l-Acetoxyalkan-2-ones 217 are obtained by the oxidation of terminal acetylenes with sodium perborate and mercury(II) acetate in acetic acid ". Terminal alkynes give a-ketoaldehydes 218 on treatment with dilute hydrogen peroxide, combined with mercury(II) acetate and sodium molybdate or sodium tungstate under phase-transfer conditions. ...

A thiourea such as (311) was oxidized with sodium molybdate and hydrogen peroxide to an amidine sulphonic acid (312). The sulphonic acid group was replaced by an amine to give the guanidine Scheme 5.70.) [374]. The avoidance of methyl mercaptan as a by-product was a considerable advantage. 

Moroxydine (512) was first synthesized by introducing morpholine to dicyanodiamidine [667], but an improved method is the oxidation of amidinothiourea (510) with hydrogen peroxide and sodium molybdate dihydrate to give (511) followed by reaction with morpholine [374] Scheme 5.120.). This avoids the evolution of methyl mercaptan. The drug has antibiotic properties and some action as an influenza suppressant [668]. 

Preparative Methods by the oxidation of thiourea or amino-iminomethanesulfinic acid (formamidinesulfinic acid) with peracetic acid. Many substituted aminoiminomethanesulfonic acids can be prepared in the same way. 2 Others have utilized hydrogen peroxide with sodium molybdate as a catalyst to oxidize the corresponding thioureas to a variety of monosubsUtuted aminoiminomethanesulfonic acids the substituents include phenyl, 2-methylphenyl, 4-fluorophenyl, / -propyl, cyclohexylmethyl, S-a-methylbenzyl, cyclooctyl, and benzhydiyl. ... 

Molybdates, vanadates and tungstates and small amounts of hydrogen peroxide and sodium persulfate do not interfere. Potassium permanganate and free halogens discolor the paper.
