Dihydrocoumarins and Dihydroisocoumarins. - The potential of thalHum compounds in organic synthesis continues to be developed in a variety of reactions. One of these was the synthesis of dihydrocoumarins by oxidative cyclization of 3-arylpropionic acids, e.g. (177), by thallium(in) trifluoro-acetate-trifluoracetic acid (TTFA). The coumarin was accompanied by methyl 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propionate (178), which was formed by ring-... 

The level of soluble thallium present in the sea (e.g. Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Irish Sea, Australian Coast) is between 9 and 16 ng/L (Matthews and Riley, 1970). This is remarkably lower than in fresh waters. In natural sea water (pH 8.1), the oxygen content is sufficient to oxidize Tl(l) to Tl(lll). because formation of chloro-complexes stabilizes the trivalent state. In the Pacific Ocean, 80% of the thallium was found to occur as Tl(lll), and only 20% as the sum of Tl(l) and alkylthallium compounds (Batley and Florence, 1975). As Tl(lll) is easily adsorbed and coprecipitated, it continuously moves down to the sediments.
