With manganese

In the laboratory, bromine is prepared by oxidation of bromide ion the oxidation is carried out by mixing solid potassium bromide with manganese(IV) oxide and distilling with concentrated sulphuric acid ... 

If a chloride is heated with manganese(IV) oxide and concentrated sulphuric acid, chlorine is evolved. 

In the laboratory it can be prepared by the electrolysis of water or by heating potassium chlorate with manganese dioxide as a catalyst. 

A thkd method utilizes cooxidation of an organic promoter with manganese or cobalt-ion catalysis. A process using methyl ethyl ketone (248,252,265—270) was commercialized by Mobil but discontinued in 1973 (263,264). Other promoters include acetaldehyde (248,271—273), paraldehyde (248,274), various hydrocarbons such as butane (270,275), and others. Other types of reported activators include peracetic acid (276) and ozone (277), and very high concentrations of cobalt catalyst (2,248,278). 

Biochemical Routes. Enzymatic oxidation of benzene or phenol leading to dilute solution of dihydroxybenzenes is known (62). Glucose can be converted into quinic acid [77-95-2] by fermentation. The quinic acid is subsequently oxidized to hydroquinone and -benzoquinone with manganese dioxide (63). 

In general, all iron pigments are characteri2ed by low chroma and excellent Hghtfastness. They are nontoxic, nonbleeding, and inexpensive. They do not react with weak acids and alkaHes, and if they are not contaminated with manganese, do not react with organic solvents. However, properties vary from one oxide to another. 

These useful compounds have played a central role in both theoretical and practical organic chemistry since the 1840s. In 1838 quinic acid [36413-60-2] (1) was oxidized to 1,4-benzoquinone (2) with manganese dioxide (1). 

Syntheses in Solvent Systems. Very few examples of syntheses of metal carbonyls in aqueous solution are reported. An exception is the preparation of Co2(CO)g from CoSO (66% yield) or C0CI2 (56% yield) and CO at 9.6—11 MPa (95—110 atm) in aqueous ammonia at 120°C for 16—18 h (101). Triiron dodecacarbonyl is prepared almost exclusively in aqueous solution. Quantitative yields of Fe2(CO)22 have been obtained by oxidising alkaline solutions of carbonyl ferrates with manganese dioxide (102—104). 

The laterites can be divided into three general classifications (/) iron nickeliferrous limonite which contains approximately 0.8—1.5 wt % nickel. The nickel to cobalt ratios for these ores are typically 10 1 (2) high siUcon serpentinous ores that contain more than 1.5 wt % nickel and (J) a transition ore between type 1 and type 2 containing about 0.7—0.2 wt % nickel and a nickel to cobalt ratio of approximately 50 1. Laterites found in the United States (8) contain 0.5—1.2 wt % nickel and the nickel occurs as the mineral goethite. Cobalt occurs in the lateritic ore with manganese oxide at an estimated wt % of 0.06 to 0.25 (9). 

Purpurin [81-54-9] (179) is a usefiil iatemiediate for preparing acid-mordant dyes, and is prepared by oxidation of alizarin with manganese dioxide and sulfuric acid (145). 

N- Aminoaziridines have been converted to alkenes by reaction with a variety of oxidizing agents (70JA1784). Usually, the deamination reaction is stereospecific. The oxidation of l-amino-2,3-diphenylaziridines with manganese dioxide, however, was not stereospecific. The trans compound gives entirely frans-stilbene, whereas the cfs-aziridine forms a mixture of 85% trans- and 15% c -aikene. cw-Stilbene is not isomerized to trans under the reaction conditions, and the results are explained in terms of an azamine intermediate which can isomerize through a tautomeric equilibrium. 

Oxidative ring expansion occurs when the hydrazine (175) is treated with manganese dioxide (73TL4091). Diphenylcyclopropenone (176) reacts with ammonia and methylamine to give /3-lactams (69BCJ1777). Initial attack could occur at either C-1 or C-2 of the cyclopropenone. 

Stripping voltammetry procedure has been developed for determination of thallium(I) traces in aqueous medium on a mercury film electrode with application of thallium preconcentration by coprecipitation with manganese (IV) hydroxide. More than 90% of thallium present in water sample is uptaken by a deposit depending on conditions of prepai ation of precipitant. Direct determination of thallium was carried out by stripping voltammetry in AC mode with anodic polarization of potential in 0,06 M ascorbic acid in presence of 5T0 M of mercury(II) on PU-1 polarograph. 

In some reports Gallionella have been associated with manganese and iron deposits that also contain chloride. It has been postulated that deep undercut pits on stainless steels (especially at welds) containing such deposits are indirectly caused by these bacteria, since the iron-manganese deposition can be accelerated by Gallionella. In spite of numerous literature citings, however, evidence for stainless steel... 

Thymoquinone has been prepared directly from thymol by sulfonating and oxidizing the sulfonation mixture with manganese dioxide or potassium dichromate the same process has been successfully applied to carvacrol. The oxidation of sa ts of aminothymol with dichromate, ferric chloride, or nascent bromine also leads to satisfactory yields of thymoquinone. The above procedure is based on the observation that the diazonium salt obtained from aminothymol is almost quantitatively con-...

Laudanosine contains four methoxyl groups. By exhaustive methyla-tion it yields trimethylamine and laudanosene (tetramethoxy-o-vinyl-stilbene), CH2=CH—C6H2(OCH3)2—CH=CH—C6H3(OCH3),. On oxidation with manganese dioxide and sulphuric acid it furnishes, in addition to the interesting by-product 2 3 6 7-tetramethoxy-9 10-dihydroanthracene, veratraldehyde and 4 5-dimethoxy-2 )3-methyl-... 

Oxidation of the 3-hydroxy-A systenli with manganese dioxide in refluxing benzene affords a moderate yield of the corresponding 4,6-dien-3-one. These vigorous conditions also suffice to cleave the corticoid side chain (17a,21-dihydroxy-20-ketones) to give 17-keto steroids. ... 

In comparison with manganese dioxide, the DDQ reagent has several advantages for the oxidation of allylic alcohols. The quinone method is more reproducible only one equivalent of oxidant need be added and generally fewer side reactions are observed. On the other hand, the workup of DDQ reactions often requires chromatography and in the simpler cases lower isolated yields may be realized.

Many methods have been used to determine the deuterium eontent of hydrogen gas or water. For H2/D2 mixtures mass speetroseopy and thermal eonduetivity ean be used together with gas ehromatography (alumina aetivated with manganese ehloride at 77 K). For heavy water the deuterium eontent ean be determined by density measurements, refraetive index ehange, or infrared speetroseopy. 

According to X-ray data, 2,5-diamino-l,3,4-triazole retains its diamino form in the heterovalent cobalt complex 375 (91IC4858) and in the polymeric complex with manganese thiocyanate (93ICA53).
