2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-l-piperidinyloxyl

Recently, alkylation of alkyl aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, ethylbenzene, cumene, and xylenes with ethene, propene, and 1,2-diphenylethene was investigated by Kijenski et al. (245), who used superbasic K-MgO and K-AI2O3 catalysts at low temperature at atmospheric and elevated pressures. The reaction kinetics, EPR measurements of adsorbed intermediates, and the effects of poisoning determined by the radical trap TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-l-piperidinyloxyl, free radical) led the authors to conclude that sites are the catalytically active centers. To demonstrate the importance of strong one-electron donor sites (F ) for the alkylation and the inactivity of strong two-electron donor centers, the ethylation of cumene, ethylbenzene, and toluene was carried out with MgO-10%NaOH. On this catalyst, strong basic two-electron donor sites (27 33) were found, along... 

Mainly iodine(v) reagents have been used for such oxidations, but some iodine(III) reagents have also been successfully applied. The radical TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-l-piperidinyloxyl) is necessary in the oxidation of alcohols with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene 3. With this combination highly selective oxidations of primary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes in high yields are possible, Scheme 12. Secondary alcohols are not attacked under the reaction conditions providing a useful alternative to the widely used Dess-Martin reagent [71 ]. 

Paul s group [7] and Obi s group [8] found a new type of CIDEP during the T-D quenching. Some of their typical results are shown in Fig. 13.3, where emissive signals are observed for TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-l-piperidinyloxyl) in the presence of excited benzophenone and pyruvic acid. 

The outer-sphere electron transfer reaction between the cobalt (III) complex [(en)2Co(/i-NH2,02)Co(en)2r and the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-l-piperidinyloxyl radical was found to have a volume of activation of 0.2 0.5 cm mor which differs negligibly from zero. ) result endorses the contention that the changes in solvation and in intrinsic volume are responsible, respectively, for determining... 

An efficient procedure for the oxidation alcohols with PhI(OAc)2 in the presence of catalytic amounts of TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-l-piperidinyloxyl), originally developed by Piancatelli, Margarita and coworkers [143], has been frequently used in recent years [144-150]. This procedure works well for the...
