Vanadium oxide reagent

Oxidative coupling of a protected tyrosine substrate promoted by vanadium(V) reagents. 

Vanadium oxide was deposited by impregnation with an aqueous solution of 10 g/dmi NHjVOj (Merck, reagent grade) of pH=4 at room temperature, as described in detail elsewhere [12]. The vanadium oxide covered supports were dried at 350 K for 16 h and calcined in air at 675 K for 4 h. 

In some recent studies, certain oxidative reagents were found to effect rapid demetalation of vanadium porphyrins under mild conditions without... 

The elements of Group 5 are in many ways similar to their predecessors in Group 4. They react with most non-metals, giving products which are frequently interstitial and nonstoichiometric, but they require high temperatures to do so. Their general resistance to corrosion is largely due to the formation of surface films of oxides which are particularly effective in the case of tantalum. Unless heated, tantalum is appreciably attacked only by oleum, hydrofluoric acid or, more particularly, a hydrofluoric/nitric acid mixture. Fused alkalis will also attack it. In addition to these reagents, vanadium and niobium are attacked by other hot concentrated mineral acids but are resistant to fused alkali. 

All classes of primary amine (including primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl as well as aryl) are oxidized to nitro compounds in high yields with dimethyl dioxirane." Other reagents that oxidize various types of primary amines to nitro compounds are dry ozone, various peroxyacids," MeRe03/H202,"" Oxone ," ° tcrt-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of certain molybdenum and vanadium compounds, and sodium perborate." ... 

One-electron reduction or oxidation of organic compounds provides a useful method for the generation of anion radicals or cation radicals, respectively. These methods are used as key processes in radical reactions. Redox properties of transition metals can be utilized for the efficient one-electron reduction or oxidation (Scheme 1). In particular, the redox function of early transition metals including titanium, vanadium, and manganese has been of synthetic potential from this point of view [1-8]. The synthetic limitation exists in the use of a stoichiometric or excess amount of metallic reductants or oxidants to complete the reaction. Generally, the construction of a catalytic redox cycle for one-electron reduction is difficult to achieve. A catalytic system should be constructed to avoid the use of such amounts of expensive and/or toxic metallic reagents. 

Ahmad and Shukla [11] determined primaquine and other antimalarial aminoqui-nolines by vanadium titration. The drugs were determined by oxidation with aqueous ammonium vanadate solution and back titration of the unconsumed reagent with aqueous acidic ammonium ferrous sulfate with V-phenyl anthranilic acid indicator. 

Oxidative coupling of aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines. This reagent is superior to thallium(III) trifluoroacetate or vanadium oxyfluoride for nonphenolic oxidative coupling of substrates such as 2 to provide aporphines and homoaporphines (3). 

A reaction of particular relevance with respect to applied catalysis is the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of hydrocarbon by VmOn ions according to reaction 2, which involves a two-electron reduction of the cluster. By means of a systematic study of the reactions of various YmOn ions as well as the related oxo-vanadium hydroxides VmO H+ ions with a set of C4-hydrocarbons, it was demonstrated recently that the ODH activity of the cluster ions shows a clear correlation with the formal valence of vanadium in the cluster ions with a maximum reactivity for formal vanadium (V) (Fig. 3) [84]. In such a kind of reactivity screening, it is essential to include more than a single reagent as a probe for the reactivity of the different ions in order to reduce interferences by kinetic barriers of one particular combination of neutral and ionic reactants [85]. Accordingly, the sums of the relative rate constants for the ODH reactions of the four different butenes are considered and normalized to the most reactive ion studied, which turns out to be the formally pure vanadium (V) compoimd In addition to isomeric...
