Aspergillus niger was the biocatalyst of choice for the biohydrolysis of para-nitro-styrene oxide. A selective kinetic resolution using a crude enzyme extract of this fungus, followed by careful acidification of the cooled crude reaction mixture, afforded the corresponding (/ )-diol in high chemical yield (94%) and good e.e. (80%) via a deracemization protocol. This key intermediate was then transformed via a four-step sequence (Scheme 21) into enantiopure (i )-nifenalol, a molecule with beta blocker activity, which was obtained in 58% overall yield [120]. 

In contrast to other furoxans, the cycloreversion of 3,4-dinitrofuroxan to nitro-formonitrile oxide was observed even at room temperature. The nitrile oxide could be trapped in situ with electron-deficient nitriles (Scheme 149) (95MC231). Attempts to obtain cyclo adducts with styrene, phenylacetylene, rran.s-stilbene, and cyclohexene failed. 

A useful application in the manufacture of ion-exchange resins may well be possible which avoids the use of carcinogenic chloromethyl ether. Here, a polymer of p-methyl styrene is chlorinated on the side chain with aqueous NaOCl and a phase-transfer catalyst. Sasson et al. (1986) have shown how stubborn . substituted aromatics like nitro/chlorotoluenes can be oxidized to the corresponding acids by using aqueous NaOCl containing Ru based catalyst. 

The jS-nitroso nitro compounds 1 and 2 were prepared as crystalline dimers by reaction of cyclohexene and styrene with pure nitric oxide under pressure. Homospecific and heterospecific dimerization of the initial adducts may occur, however, the X-ray spectrum of the cyclohexene derivative showed the presence of only one rran.r-diastereomer, although other trans- or cis-diastereomers may have been formed. Furthermore, handpicking of the crystal mass of the styrene adduct allows the separation of the clear meso or (R, S ) form and the opaque dl or (R, R ) form, identified by H-NMR spectroscopy. 

It should be mentioned that derivatives of acetophenone react much more slowly than the corresponding benzaldehyde derivatives. Therefore, to complete the reaction in a reasonable time, 90% hydrogen peroxide should be used. The nitro-substituted seleninic acids 103 a,b also manifested remarkable catalytic activity in the hydrogen peroxide oxidation of styrene to phenyloxi-rane [51]. 

Only activated monoenes are hydrogenated . These include carvene, mesityl oxide, 2-cyclohexenone, and benzalacetone . Some styrenes are hydrogenated a-functionalized styrenes react, but )S-functionalized styrenes do not - " . Similarly, only activated ketones such as benzil, diacetyl and p-benzoquinone are hydrogenated to alcohols " . Often catalytic reduction of a ketone is observed only in the presence of added OH . The base is believed to react with an intermediate to give [Co(CN)j(OH)] and the reduced substrate . Aryl ketones such as acetophenone and benzophenone are not reduced . Several examples of nitro and nitroso compound reductions have been reported - . ...

Feringa from The Netherlands was the first to report an abnormal Wacker oxidation in 1986.21 Dec-1 -ene was oxidized in the presence of a tertiary alcohol to a mixture of aldehyde 8 and methyl ketone 9. Surprisingly, aldehyde 8 was isolated as the major product (8/9 = 70/30). Even more strikingly, styrene was transformed exclusively to its corresponding phenylacetaldehyde under the same conditions. Feringa proposed that the aldehyde formation involved an oxygen transfer reaction via initial cycloaddition of the nitro-palladium complex, followed by p-hydrogen elimination. 

Reactions of cyclic nitronic esters are also described. 3-Nitro-isoxazoline-jV-oxide (32a) is itself a cyclic nitrone, and forms isoxazo lizidines (33a) when allowed to react with olefins (5) such as ethylene,112,129,130 vinyl acetate,129 propylene,129 and styrene.130 With tetramethylethylene, cyclopentene, and cyclohexene, the corresponding isoxazolizidines are also obtained.131...
