With sodium hypochlorite

Acetone (R = CHj) when treated with sodium hypochlorite or bleaching powder solution yields chloroform, probably in accordance with the following mechanism ... 

The process operated by ACl is outlined in Figure 7. Bales of cotton linter are opened, cooked in dilute caustic soda, and bleached with sodium hypochlorite. The resulting highly purified ceUulose is mixed with pre-precipitated basic copper sulfate in the dissolver, and 24—28% ammonium hydroxide cooled to below 20°C is added. The mixture is agitated until dissolution is complete. If necessary, air is introduced to aUow oxidative depolymerization and hence a lowering of the dope viscosity. 

Thiol spills are handled ia the same manner that all chemical spills are handled, with the added requirement that the odor be eliminated as rapidly as possible. In general, the leak should be stopped, the spill should be contained, and then the odor should be reduced. The odor can be reduced by sprayiag the spill area with sodium hypochlorite (3% solution), calcium hypochlorite solution (3%), or hydrogen peroxide (3—10% solution). The use of higher concentrations of oxidant gives strongly exothermic reactions, which iacrease the amount of thiol ia the vapor, as well as pose a safety ha2ard. The apphcation of an adsorbent prior to addition of the oxidant can be quite helpful and add to the ease of cleanup. 

Diacetone-L-sorbose (DAS) is oxidized at elevated temperatures in dilute sodium hydroxide in the presence of a catalyst (nickel chloride for bleach or palladium on carbon for air) or by electrolytic methods. After completion of the reaction, the mixture is worked up by acidification to 2,3 4,6-bis-0-isoptopyhdene-2-oxo-L-gulonic acid (2,3 4,6-diacetone-2-keto-L-gulonic acid) (DAG), which is isolated through filtration, washing, and drying. With sodium hypochlorite/nickel chloride, the reported DAG yields ate >90% (65). The oxidation with air has been reported, and a practical process was developed with palladium—carbon or platinum—carbon as catalyst (66,67). The electrolytic oxidation with nickel salts as the catalyst has also... 

Oxidation of Aromatic Amines. The technically important dye Direct Yellow 28 (23) [10114-47-3] (Cl 19555) for cotton usage is manufactured by oxidation of dehydrothio- i ra-toluidinesulfonic acid sodium salt with sodium hypochlorite ia aqueous alkaline solutioa. 

Efaloform Reaetion. Ethyl alcohol reacts with sodium hypochlorite to give chloroform [67-66-3] (haloform reaction). 

A similar reaction occurred when (80) was treated with sodium hypochlorite in methanol to give a derivative (81) containing the elements of ClOMe with loss of NO2 (66DIS(B)102). 

The stabilised nitrate may then be bleached with sodium hypochlorite, centrifuged to remove much of the water in which the polymer has been slurried and dehydrated by displacement with alcohol while under pressure in a press. It is interesting to note that in these processes approximately 35 000 gallons (160000 litres) of water are used for every ton of cellulose nitrate produced. Control of purity of the water is important in particular the iron content should be as low as 0.03 parts per million since iron can adversely affect both the colour and heat stability of the polymer. 

Van Tamelen (I24a) has reported a useful and specific synthetic method for the production of enamines by the oxidative decarboxylation of N,N-dialkyl a-amino acids with sodium hypochlorite. 

A -Pyrroline has been prepared in low yield by oxidation of proline with sodium hypochlorite (71), persulfate (102), and periodate (103). A -Pyrroline and A -piperideine are products of enzymic oxidation via deamination of putrescine and cadaverine or ornithine and lysine, respectively (104,105). This process plays an important part in metabolism and in the biosynthesis of various heterocyclic compounds, especially of alkaloids. 

Another reaction leading to a 2,6-diketo derivative of 2,3-dihydro-l,3-6// -oxazine (48) consists in acting with sodium hypochlorite on maleic imide. ... 

The required A-chloroamines 9 can be prepared from the corresponding amine by treatment with sodium hypochlorite or A-chlorosuccinimide. 

It is therefore not unexpected to find a similar effect in a heterocycle fused to a benzene ring. Reaction of the substituted benzothiazole, 71, with sodium hypochlorite in a mixture of sodium hydroxide and ammonia affords the sulfenamide, 72, probably by the intermediacy of the sulfenyl chloride. 

Titanium impellers have been used in pumps employed for the conveyance of corrosive and erosive ore slurries, for organic chlorides containing hydrochloric acid and free chlorine , for handling moist chlorine gas, and in the wood-pulp and the textile-bleaching industry, particularly with sodium hypochlorite . 

The intramolecular cycloaddition of a nitrile oxide (a 1,3-dipole) to an alkene is ideally suited for the regio- and stereocontrolled synthesis of fused polycyclic isoxazolines.16 The simultaneous creation of two new rings and the synthetic versatility of the isoxa-zoline substructure contribute significantly to the popularity of this cycloaddition process in organic synthesis. In spite of its high degree of functionalization, aldoxime 32 was regarded as a viable substrate for an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. Indeed, treatment of 32 (see Scheme 17) with sodium hypochlorite... 

Oxidation of methyl perfluoroalkyl sulphones with refluxing aqueous potassium permanganate produced the perfluorinated alkanesulphonic acid in 85% yield as the potassium salt (equation 86). On the other hand, attempted oxidation with sodium hypochlorite caused only chlorine substitution (equation 87). Reaction of the new sulphone with aqueous hydroxide gave the same perfluoroalkane sulphonic acid salt (equation 88). 

Oxidized starch, usually oxidized with sodium hypochlorite, is whiter than unmodified starch it has increased clarity and lower viscosity. 

Treatment with sodium hypochlorite or hypobromite converts primary amines into N-halo- or N,N-dihaloamines. Secondary amines can be converted to N-halo secondary amines. Similar reactions can be carried out on unsubstituted and N-substituted amides and on sulfonamides. With unsubstituted amides the N-halo-gen product is seldom isolated but usually rearranges (see 18-13) however, N-halo-N-alkyl amides and N-halo imides are quite stable. The important reagent NBS is made in this manner. N-Halogenation has also been accomplished with other reagents, (e.g., sodium bromite NaBr02) benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide (PhCH2NMe3 Br3"), and NCS. The mechanisms of these reactions involve attack by a positive halogen and are probably similar to those of 12-47 and 12-49.N-Fluorination can be accomplished by direct treatment of amines °° or... 

Ordinary alkenes (without an allylic OH group) have been enantioselectively epoxidized with sodium hypochlorite (commercial bleach) and an optically active manganese-complex catalyst. Variations of this oxidation use a manganese-salen complex with various oxidizing agents, in what is called the Jacobsen-Katsuki... 

During an attempt at destroying benzyl cyanide residues with sodium hypochlorite, a detonation was caused that was probabiy due to the formation of nitrogen trichloride. However, it might be asked if it was not due to the nitrile group oxidation by the hypochlorite present.
