Sodium persulfate, oxidant

Ellagic acid (62), isolated from the kino of Eucalyptus maculata Hook,85 has also been prepared by sodium persulfate oxidation of gallic acid and by acid hydrolysis of crude tannin from walnuts.86,87... 

As another example, aniline is copolymerized with anthranilic acid by adding a 50-mL solution containing 16 mmol sodium persulfate (oxidant) dropwise into a 100-mL solution that contains aniline and anthranilic acid (with varying mole ratios). A solution pH of 0.1 is maintained by adding 1.0 M HCl and the solution is left at room temperature with eonstant stirring for 48 h for the polymerization to proceed. Afterwards, the powder produeed is filtered and dried in a desieeator containing phosphorus pentoxide (P205)- The... 

In a recently published paper6, on the investigation of AN copolymerization with the quartemary salt of l,2-dimethyl-5-vinylpyridinium sulfate (DMVPS) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) with 2,2 -azoisobutyronitrile as initiator, and in aqueous medium in the presence of the potassium persulfate/sodium metabisulfite oxidation-reduction system at 60 °C, the authors found the reactivity of the monomers, especially that of MVPS (methylvinylpyridin sulfate) to depend significantly on the polarity of the medium.

Marchand and co-workers reported a synthetic route to TNAZ (18) involving a novel electrophilic addition of NO+ NO2 across the highly strained C(3)-N bond of 3-(bromomethyl)-l-azabicyclo[1.1.0]butane (21), the latter prepared as a nonisolatable intermediate from the reaction of the bromide salt of tris(bromomethyl)methylamine (20) with aqueous sodium hydroxide under reduced pressure. The product of this reaction, A-nitroso-3-bromomethyl-3-nitroazetidine (22), is formed in 10% yield but is also accompanied by A-nitroso-3-bromomethyl-3-hydroxyazetidine as a by-product. Isolation of (22) from this mixture, followed by treatment with a solution of nitric acid in trifluoroacetic anhydride, leads to nitrolysis of the ferf-butyl group and yields (23). Treatment of (23) with sodium bicarbonate and sodium iodide in DMSO leads to hydrolysis of the bromomethyl group and the formation of (24). The synthesis of TNAZ (18) is completed by deformylation of (24), followed by oxidative nitration, both processes achieved in one pot with an alkaline solution of sodium nitrite, potassium ferricyanide and sodium persulfate. This route to TNAZ gives a low overall yield and is not suitable for large scale manufacture. 

A chemist wants to make a range of silver(II) compounds. Could aqueous sodium persulfate be used to oxidize silver(I) compounds to silver(H) If so, what would be the equilibrium constant for the reaction ... 

Iodolactonization of salts of unsaturated carboxylic acids, using potassium iodide, which has been oxidized by sodium persulfate in situ, gives rise to high product yields in very... 

It was also shown that the ratio of oxidized alcohol to oxidized Fe2+ could be greater then one. Baxendale and Wilson (1957) showed that hydroxyl radical initiating the chain polymerization of olefins by hydrogen peroxide was the same process as the rapid oxidation of glycolic acid. Merz and Waters (1947) confirmed that simple water-soluble alcohols are oxidized rapidly by Fenton s reagent. The primary alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes, which are further oxidized at comparable rates by exactly the same mechanism. Merz and Waters proposed a mechanism of chain oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes by sodium persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, and an excess of ferrous salt as follows ... 

Materials. Styrene and butadiene monomers were polymerization grade, available from Dow Chemical Company. Acrylic acid was a technical grade monomer from Dow Badische. The polymeriza-tion surfactant was sodium dodecyldiphenyl oxide sulfonate available from Dow. The polymerization initiator was sodium persulfate, and bromoform and carbon tetrachloride the chain transfer agents. 

The oxidative decarboxylation of aliphatic carboxylic acids is best achieved by treatment of the acid with LTA in benzene, in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper(II) acetate. The latter serves to trap the radical intermediate and so bring about elimination, possibly through a six-membered transition state. Primary carboxylic acids lead to terminal alkenes, indicating that carbocations are probably not involved. The reaction has been reviewed. The synthesis of an optically pure derivative of L-vinylglycine from L-aspartic acid (equation 14) is illustrative. The same transformation has also been effected with sodium persulfate and catalytic quantities of silver nitrate and copper(II) sulfate, and with the combination of iodosylbenzene diacetate and copper(II) acetate. ...
