SUBJECTS compounds 239 dioxide

Tetravalent lead is obtained when the metal is subjected to strong oxidizing action, such as in the electrolytic oxidation of lead anodes to lead dioxide, Pb02 when bivalent lead compounds are subjected to powerful oxidizing conditions, as in the calcination of lead monoxide to lead tetroxide, Pb O or by wet oxidation of bivalent lead ions to lead dioxide by chlorine water. The inorganic compounds of tetravalent lead are relatively unstable eg, in the presence of water they hydrolyze to give lead dioxide. 

Root products, as defined by Uren and Reisenauer (17), represent a wide range of compounds. Only secretions are deemed to have a direct and immediate functional role in the rhizosphere. Carbon dioxide, although labeled an excretion, may play a role in rhizosphere processes such as hyphal elongation of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza (39). Also, root-derived CO2 may have an effect on nonphotosynthetic fixation of CO2 by roots subject to P deficiency and thus contribute to exudation of large amounts of citrate and malate, as observed in white lupins (40). The amounts utilized are very small and, in any case, are extremely difficult to distinguish from endogenous CO2 derived from soil and rhizosphere respiration. 

Pyrazolone-1,2-dioxides 311 were subjected to cycloaddition with a wide range of olefinic compounds leading to the 0-2,3,3 ,4-tetrahydro-pyrazolo[l,5-3]isoxazole cycloadducts 312. The behavior of these reactive species 311 toward unsaturated compounds, stereochemical and mechanistic aspects, were discussed in details (Equation 134) <1994J(P2)1337>. 

In a simulated atmosphere, direct epoxidation by ozone led to the formation of benzo[a]pyrene-4,5-oxide. Benzo [a] pyrene reacted with benzoyl peroxide to form the 6-benzoyloxy derivative (quoted, Nikolaou et al, 1984). It was reported that benzo [a] pyrene adsorbed on fly ash and alumina reacted with sulfur dioxide (10%) in air to form benzo[a]pyrene sulfonic acid (Nielsen et al., 1983). Benzo [a] pyrene coated on a quartz surface was subjected to ozone and natural sunlight for 4 and 2 h, respectively. The compounds 1,6-quinone, 3,6-quinone, and the 6,12-quinone of benzo[a]pyrene were formed in both instances (Rajagopalan et al., 1983). 

In contrast to the thorium from Thorotrast (a thorium dioxide and dextran suspension) after intravenous injection, a higher percentage of thorium from more soluble thorium compounds is excreted. Following intravenous injection of thorium-234 citrate in humans, there is a relatively rapid but small (7%) amount of excretion within the first 20 days. A urine/feces ratio of 12 for male subjects and 24 for female subjects was determined. About 93% of the injected thorium-234 was retained at 100 days after injection, with a biological half-time of more than 5 years (Maletskos et al. 1969). 

The process employs the supercritical fluid carbon dioxide as a solvent. When a compound (in this case carbon dioxide) is subjected to temperatures and pressures above its critical point (31°C, 7.4 MPa, respectively), it exhibits properties that differ from both the liquid and vapor phases. Polar bonding between molecules essentially stops. Some organic compounds that are normally insoluble become completely soluble (miscible in all proportions) in supercritical fluids. Supercritical carbon dioxide sustains combustion and oxidation reactions because it mixes well with oxygen and with nonpolar organic compounds. 

J. Black s investigation 3 of 1756 is the first contribution to the chemistry of the carbonates of ammonia, and he pointed out the chemical difference between the aqua ammonia and the solid carbonate of commerce. J. Priestley also, in 1774, dwelt on the same subject. T. Bergmann analysed the commercial carbonate in 1774 H. Davy emphasized the variable nature of the compounds of carbon dioxide and ammonia in 1799 while C. L. Berthollet (1806) and J. Dalton (1819) demonstrated that there are several different carbonates of ammonia. In his paper On the combinations of carbonic anhydride with ammonia and water (1870), E. Divers showed that there are at least three well-defined ammonium carbonates—the normal carbonate, the hydrocarbonate, and the sesquicarbonate. On the other hand, in his paper Ueber die Verbindungen des Ammoniaks mit der Kohlensaure (1839), H. Rose claimed to have shown that an indefinitely large number of these compounds can be prepared, and he described twelve of them. He said ... 

The 1,6-naphthyridine-6-oxide (126) and 1,6-naphthyridine-1,6-dioxide (127) form the 5-cyano (128) and 2,5-dicyano (130) compounds, respectively, when subjected to Reissert reaction conditions.52 The 5-oxo isomer (129) is a by-product in the 6-oxide reaction. Cyano-l,6-naphthyridines are obtained when the 1,6-di-JV-oxide (127) is treated with potassium cyanide in the presence of potassium ferricyanide.76-77 Methanolic potassium cyanide yields the 5-cyano-, 5-carboxamido-, and 2-methoxy-l,6-naphthyridines (128, 131, and 132, respectively) when reacted with 1,6-naphthyridine 1,6-dioxide (127).78...
