Cure Characteristics. Methods of natural rubber production and raw material properties vary from factory to factory and area to area. Consequentiy, the cure characteristics of natural mbber can vary, even within a particular grade. Factors such as maturation, method and pH of coagulation, preservatives, dry mbber content and viscosity-stabilizing agents, eg, hydroxylamine-neutral sulfate, influence the cure characteristics of natural mbber. Therefore the consistency of cure for different grades of mbber is determined from compounds mixed to the ACSl formulation (27). The ACSl formulation is as follows natural mbber, 100 stearic acid, 0.5 zinc oxide, 6.0 sulfur, 3.5 and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), 0.5. 

To synthesize isomeric 3-substituted isoxazoles (301) the reaction of ethylene acetals of )3-ketoaldehydes (300) (readily available from -chlorovinyl ketones (57IZV949)) with hydroxylamine was employed. Owing to the comparative stability of the dioxolane group, this reaction gave exclusively 3-substituted isoxazoles (301) (60ZOB954). The use of noncy-clic, alkyl S-ketoacetals in this reaction resulted in a mixture of 3- and 5-substituted isoxazoles (55AG395). 

N-Aminobenzoxazolin-2-one (4), which was readily prepared by animation of benzoxazolin-2-one with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid, is also a useful nitrene precursor (Scheme 2.2). Oxidation of 4 with lead(iv) acetate in the presence of a conjugated diene resulted in exclusive 1,2-addition of nitrene 5, to yield vinylazir-idine (6) in 71 % yield [6]. The formation of vinylaziridines through 1,2-additions of methoxycarbonylnitrene (2) or amino nitrene 5 contrasts with the claimed 1,4-ad-dition of nitrene itself to butadiene [7]. Since the reaction proceeded stereospecif-ically even at high dilution, the nitrene 5 appears to be generated in a resonance-stabilized singlet state, which is probably the ground state [8]. 

Particularly violent interactions took place between this oxide and hydrazine or hydroxylamine. In fact, the danger is linked to the extreme in-stability and the highly reducing property of these nitrogenous compounds. 

New developments are hydroxylamines and lactones (for processing stability), which operate at an earlier stage during stabilisation. Lactone (benzofuranone) chemistry has been identified as commercially viable, and marks a revolutionary advance in comparison to hindered phenols and phosphites [18]. New lactone chemistry (Figure 10.1) provides enhanced additive compatibility, reduced taste and odour (organoleptics), resistance to irradiation-induced oxidation, and inhibition of gas fade discoloration. The commercial introduction of fundamentally new types of stabilisers for commodity and engineering polymers is not expected in the near future. 

The monovalent Co chemistry of amines is sparse. No structurally characterized example of low-valent Co complexed exclusively to amines is known. At low potentials and in non-aqueous solutions, Co1 amines have been identified electrochemically, but usually in the presence of co-ligands that stabilize the reduced complex. At low potential, the putative monovalent [Co(cyclam)]+ (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) in NaOH solution catalyzes the reduction of both nitrate and nitrite to give mixtures of hydroxylamine and ammonia.100 Mixed N-donor systems bearing 7r-acceptor imine ligands in addition to amines are well known, but these examples are discussed separately in Section 6.1.2.1.3. 

The substituted hydroxylamine from reaction 7 (>N0PP) may also contribute to the stabilization process by scavenging peroxyl radicals (reaction 9)- From a study of model compounds in k9... 

An unsubstituted hydroxylamine is a powerful hydroperoxide decomposer and peroxyl radical scavenger, and could play an important role in photo-stabilization even if present at only a low concentration after dark intervals. 

Oximes generally demonstrate good stability in the solid state when stored at low temperature. Simple oximes show reasonable stability in neutral aqueous solution but hydrolyze to hydroxylamine and the parent ketone under acidic or basic catalysis [2], As noted, nitro-containing oximes, such as FK409 (9), spontaneously decompose... 

Only salts of hydroxylamine were available until the 1980s, when Nissin Chemical Company, Ltd., of Japan, commercialized aqueous free-base hydroxylamine by adding a proprietary stabilizer to prevent decomposition. Hydroxylamine is commercially available in solutions up to 50% (all percentages are by weight). 

Electrosyntheses of heterocycles from nitroso derivatives prepared in a batch cell according to Scheme 34 need two conditions. The first one is a good stability of the hydroxylamine intermediate and the second one is a very fast cyclization of the nitroso compound to avoid the formation of an azoxy compound by condensation of the generated nitroso and the hydroxylamine. Electroanalytical studies using cyclic voltammetry can give information on the rate of cyclization. 

The direct nitration of 2,6-diaminopyridine (168) with mixed acid yields 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyridine (ANPy) (173). Oxidation of ANPy (173) with peroxyacetic acid yields ANPyO (174) (calculated VOD 7840 m/s, d = 1.88 g/crc ) C-Amination of ANPyO (174) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in aqueous base yields the triamine (175), an impact insensitive explosive of high thermal stability. ... 

Because of their lower hydrophilicity and higher stability to oxidation, O-protected hydroxylamines are more convenient substrates for alkylation than hydroxylamine itself. Commercially available 0-benzylhydroxylamine was successfully alkylated with alkyl halides and alkyl sulfonates ". ... 

Recently, Smulik and Vedejs have reported that amination of ester enolates and enim-inates with 0-(p-nitrobenzoyl)hydroxylamine 21 takes place with good yields . However, reaction of enolates derived from ethyl phenylacetate and phenylacetonitrile gave lower yields compared with stabilized enolates derived from diethyl malonate, diethyl 2-phenylmalonate and 2-phenyl-2-cyanopropionate (Scheme 23). 

A large part of the reduction of silver chloride by hydrazine evidently takes place by a different mechanism from that of the reduction by hydroxylamine. The effect of gelatin and dye on the process, together with the appearance of colloidal silver in the solution when gelatin is present to stabilize it, shows that the reaction involves dissolved silver chloride to a greater degree than the hydroxylamine reaction. Indeed, if the reaction rate is plotted against a silver ion concentration calculated on the assumption that a saturated solution of silver chloride is maintained, the same relation is obtained as is found for the reduction of silver ions from a solution of the sulfite ion complex. 

Acyl substituents at the 3- and/or 4-positions result in decreased hydrolytic stability compared with the alkyl and aryl derivatives described above. Despite this constraint most of the usual reactions of the carbonyl group are possible. Aldehydes <9ILA1211> and ketones are oxidized to the carboxylic acid, borohydride reduction affords the expected alcohols, and epoxides are formed on reaction with diazomethane. Oximes and arylhydrazones are formed with hydroxylamine and arylhydrazines, and the products may subsequently undergo monocyclic rearrangement involving the oxadiazole to give the corresponding isomeric furazans and 1,2,3-triazoles (Section 4.05.5.1.4). 

Hydroxylamine is used as a reducing agent in many inorganic and organic synthetic reactions. Other applications of this compound include purification of aldehydes and ketones dehairing of hides as an antioxidant for fatty acids to stabilize lower oxidation states of metal ions for analysis and in photography. 

Diacetyl-furazan-2-oxid, zunachst als zersetzliche Substanz beschrieben390, ist in reinem Zustand391 recht stabil (beim Destillieren kann sie explodieren ), und bildct mit Hydroxylamin zwei verschiedene Bis-oxime392 3,4-Bis-[l-hydroximino-ethyl -furazan-2-oxide).
