Sulfonate compounds, hydrogenation

The oxidation reagents used most frequently for the conversion of sulfides into sulfoxides and sulfones are hydrogen peroxide, peroxy acids, and periodates. Periodates usually do not oxidize sulfoxides to sulfones [770 771, 772, 776, 775], In addition, many other, even rather exotic, oxidants have been used especially for chemoselective oxidations of sulfides containing functional groups vulnerable to attack by peroxy compounds, such as double bonds and carbonyl groups. 

Organic inhibitors in the nickel bath also influence the texture of nickel deposits. The inhibition effects are related to their molecular structure [6.69]. In the presence of brightners with unsaturated ethylenic or acetylenic compounds, the [110] texture is preferentially formed. With aryl-sulfonic compounds used as leveling agents, the [100] or [211] textures are favored. The modification of the crystal growth has been interpreted by an adsorption-hydrogenation-desorption model. The nature and the strength of a bond between a metallic surface and an adsorbed species depend on the... 

Oxidation of 4 ten butylthiane (see Problem 16 23 for the structure of thiane) with sodium metaperiodate gives a mixture of two compounds of molecular formula CpHigOS Both products give the same sulfone on further oxidation with hydrogen peroxide What is the relationship between the two compounds ... 

Each isomer has its individual set of physical and chemical properties however, these properties are similar (Table 6). The fundamental chemical reactions for pentanes are sulfonation to form sulfonic acids, chlorination to form chlorides, nitration to form nitropentanes, oxidation to form various compounds, and cracking to form free radicals. Many of these reactions are used to produce intermediates for the manufacture of industrial chemicals. Generally the reactivity increases from a primary to a secondary to a tertiary hydrogen (37). Other properties available but not Hsted are given in equations for heat capacity and viscosity (34), and saturated Hquid density (36). 

In acid solution, the double bond of (203) is hydrogenated to the trans-fused sulfone (204). Presumably, this hydrogenation goes through a cis-fused intermediate that is rapidly epimerized to (204) under the acidic conditions of the reaction. Condensation of the sodium salt of 7,7-ethylenedioxy-3-oxooctanoate (205) with (204) produces (206). Cmde (206) is cyclized, hydroly2ed, and decarboxylated, producing the tricycHc compound (207). Hydrogenation of (207) followed by ketal hydrolysis and cyclization affords (208) in an overall yield of 35% from hydrindandione (203). 

The azo coupling reaction proceeds by the electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism. In the case of 4-chlorobenzenediazonium compound with l-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid [84-87-7] the reaction is not base-catalyzed, but that with l-naphthol-3-sulfonic acid and 2-naphthol-8-sulfonic acid [92-40-0] is moderately and strongly base-catalyzed, respectively. The different rates of reaction agree with kinetic studies of hydrogen isotope effects in coupling components. The magnitude of the isotope effect increases with increased steric hindrance at the coupler reaction site. The addition of bases, even if pH is not changed, can affect the reaction rate. In polar aprotic media, reaction rate is different with alkyl-ammonium ions. Cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants can also influence the reaction rate (27). 

The halogenation of selenazoles goes less smoothly than the nitration and sulfonation. For example the bromination of 2,4-dimethyl-selenazoie with cold bromine first gives an unstable monobromo derivative (mp 168°C). This is transformed easily into a compound of mp 205°C (decomp.) which Haginiwa assumes is the hydrogen bromide salt of 2,4-dimethyl-5-bromoselenazole. 

In some cases the use of nitrosylsulfuric acid may be avoided if 1-naphthalenesul-fonic acid is added to moderately concentrated sulfuric acid (20-60%). This greatly reduces the evolution of nitrous fumes compared with a solution of pure sulfuric acid of the same hydrogen ion concentration. It has not yet been investigated whether the phenomenon is due to the formation of an ion pair, [C10H7 —SO NO+], or whether it is simply a solubility effect. In any case, the total acidity range of 4-12 m has thereby become available for diazotization technically crude sulfonation mixtures are used after dilution with water, for example, a solution of total acidity 4 m, of which 2.7 m is due to sulfuric acid. A further advantage of the method lies in the stabilizing effect of the naphthalenesulfonic acid on the diazonium compounds formed (see Sec. 2.3).
