Equation 14 actually represents the result of several consecutive reactions involving additions of CoH to nitrobenzene and intermediates such as nitroso-benzene to form complexes subject to further interaction with CoH to yield reduction products in a manner similar to that postulated for the hydrogenation of butadiene (see Equations 1 and 3). Equation 15 defines the role of alkali whereby reduction products are released and the hydroxo complex so formed is able to undergo the reverse aging process as discussed in other examples. Equation 16 is similar to that shown for benzoquinone (Equation 11) and indicates a possible interaction of the substrate with nonhydrogenated cyanocobaltate(II). 

In aqueous solution, the solvated aquo, hydroxo, or oxo complexes (Equation 1) of metal ions undergo hydroxylation yielding hydroxy precursors (Equation 2) that are subjected to inorganic polymerization reactions. Depending on the chemical nature of the metal ion, either olation (Equation 3) or oxolation (Equation 4) happens. Ola-tion results in the formation of hydroxo bridges between the central metal atoms involving polycations as intermediates, while oxo bridges are formed in oxolation via polyanions. 

The exact mechanistic details of oxygen insertion into the C-H bond are still the subject of intense discussion. One of the most popular proposals appears to be that of the so-called rebound mechanism , which proceeds by an initial hydrogen abstraction from the alkane (RH) by the active oxygen intermediate to form a radical R and a hydroxo-iron species as intermediates. The radical then rebounds on the hydroxy group and generates the enzyme-product species[29). Alternative proposals involve cationic intermediates1301 or two-state reactivity with multiple electromer species for epoxidations131. ... 

This synthesis is usually carried out in the presence of alkaline catalysts. The catalyst is neutralized and at least partially remains in the final product. Primary Cg-Cig long-chain alcohols are generally used for ethoxylation. The alcohols may be of synthetic (Ziegler or oxo alcohols), vegetable and animal origin. Other hydroxo compounds can be subjected to ethoxylation, for example diols, such as 2,4,7,9- tetramethyl-5-decyne-4,7-diol ( Surfinol ), vegetable sterols, lanoline fractions enriched by sterols and fatty alcohols [34]. Ethoxylated alcohols and mercaptanes modified by a subsequent addition of propylene oxide or ethoxylated and propoxylated alcohols mentioned before (section 1.2.2) are of some industrial importance. 

Ionic solvation in H2O + cosolvent mixtures has been the subject of a number of recent communications. Cosolvents have included acetone, form-amide, NN-dimethylformamide, NN-dimethylacetamide, t-butyl alcohol, " and dioxan. Interpretation of H n.m.r. data (173—303 K) for solutions of Be(N03)2 in aqueous acetone solutions has shown that Be is present mainly in the form of tetra-aquo complexes, coexisting with (probably) polymerized hydroxo(oxo)diaquo complexes. The existence of the tetra-aquo complex has been confirmed by analyses of n.m.r. spectra of aqueous Be(N03)2 solutions. The formation of solvated cationic species in HaO+formamide (Na ) and H2O + DMF (Li" ", Na" ", mixtures has also been investigated in a study of the... 

The mechanism of the Wacker oxidation has been the subject of many mechanistic studies and much discussion for nearly 50 years. At this point, the identity of the elementary steps of this process appears to depend on the reaction conditions. The majority of the mechanistic discussion has focused on whether the C-O bond is formed by nucleophilic attack of water on a coordinated olefin or by insertion of an olefin into a metal-hydroxo complex. These elementary reactions were discussed in Qiapters 11 and 9, respectively. It appears that the mechanism involving nucleophilic attack occurs under conditions of high chloride concentration, and the mechanism involving olefin insertion occurs imder conditions of low chloride concentration. ...
