Zinc metal addition

Mixed Metal Antimony Synergists Worldwide scarcities of antimony have prompted manufacturers to develop synergists that contain less antimony. Other metals have been found to work in concert with antimony to form a synergist that is as effective as antimony alone. Thermoguard CPA from Elf Atochem NA, which contains zinc in addition to antimony, can be used instead of antimony oxide in flexible poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) as well as some polyolefin appHcations. The Oncor and AZ products which contain siUcon, zinc, and phosphoms from Anzon Inc. can be used in a similar manner. The mixed metal synergists are 10 to 20% less expensive than antimony trioxide. 

Further dechlorination may occur with the formation of substituted diphenyhnethanes. If enough aluminum metal is present, the Friedel-Crafts reactions involved may generate considerable heat and smoke and substantial amounts of hydrogen chloride, which reacts with more aluminum metal, rapidly forming AlCl. The addition of an epoxide inhibits the initiation of this reaction by consuming HCl. Alkali, alkaline-earth, magnesium, and zinc metals also present a potential reactivity hazard with chlorinated solvents such as methylene chloride. 

Alkenes are reduced by addition of H2 in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum or palladium to yield alkanes, a process called catalytic hydrogenation. Alkenes are also oxidized by reaction with a peroxyacid to give epoxides, which can be converted into lTans-l,2-diols by acid-catalyzed epoxide hydrolysis. The corresponding cis-l,2-diols can be made directly from alkenes by hydroxylation with 0s04. Alkenes can also be cleaved to produce carbonyl compounds by reaction with ozone, followed by reduction with zinc metal. 

From the statement in the text that nickel metal reacts with H+ to give H2(g) and the additional information that zinc metal reacts readily with nickel sulfate solution, decide where to add the half-reaction Ni-Ni+2 in our list. 

Determination of copper as copper(I) thiocyanate Discussion. This is an excellent method, since most thiocyanates of other metals are soluble. Separation may thus be effected from bismuth, cadmium, arsenic, antimony, tin, iron, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and zinc. The addition of 2-3 g of tartaric acid is desirable for the prevention of hydrolysis when bismuth, antimony, or tin is present. Excessive amounts of ammonium salts or of the thiocyanate precipitant should be absent, as should also oxidising agents the solution should only be slightly acidic, since the solubility of the precipitate increases with decreasing pH. Lead, mercury, the precious metals, selenium, and tellurium interfere and contaminate the precipitate. 

Numerous organic syntheses are based on stoichiometric oxidations of hydrocarbons with sodium dichromate and potassium permanganate, or on hydrogenations with alkali metals, borohydrides or metallic zinc. In addition, there are reactions... 

These facts are perfectly matched with our above-mentioned desired requirements. In addition, alkyl zinc is known to be less basic and deprotonation of ketone-aniline 36 by zinc reagent is highly unlikely. However, one of the issues for this reaction was the requirement for two alkyl groups on the zinc metal since the product ends up as tetramer 61, where the zinc atom still has one alkyl group, recalling that our cyclopropylacetylene (37) is not easy to obtain. 

A novel method of generating finely divided zinc metal is by the use of pulsed sonoelectrochemistry using an ultrasonic horn as the cathode [85], Normal electrolysis of ZnCl2 in aqueous NH4CI affords a zinc deposit on the cathode. When the electrolysis is pulsed at 300 ms on/off and the cathode is pulsed ultrasonically at a 100 ms 200 ms on off ratio the zinc is produced as a fine powder. This powder is considerably more active than commercial zinc powder e. g. in the addition of allyl bromide to benzaldehyde (Eq. 3.9). 

When the metallic additive to the intermediate 374 was zinc dihalide (or another Lewis acid, such as aluminum trichloride, iron trichloride or boron trifluoride), a conjugate addition to electrophilic olefins affords 381 . In the case of the lithium-zinc transmetallation, a palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling reaction with aryl bromides or iodides allowed the preparation of arylated componnds 384 ° in 26-77% yield. In addition, a Sn2 allylation of the mentioned zinc intermediates with reagents of type R CH=CHCH(R )X (X = chlorine, bromine) gave the corresponding compounds 385 in 52-68% yield. ... 

A number of methods are used to reduce and prevent corrosion. The most common method is to paint iron materials so that the metals are protected from water and oxygen. Alloying iron with other metals is also a common means to reduce corrosion. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, nickel, and several other metals. Iron may also be protected by coating it with another metal. Galvanizing refers to applying a coating of zinc to protect the underlying metal. Additionally, because it is a more active metal, zinc oxidizes rather than iron. 

The Reformatsky reactions are run following two basic procedures (i) a two-step Grignard-type protocol which first involves the formation of an organometallic zinc eno-late derivative followed by addition of the electrophile, and (ii) a Barbier-type protocol where the bromoester and the electrophile are simultaneously exposed to the action of zinc metal. 

Whenever metallic zinc is to be used in oxidative addition processes, results are affected by the metal surface activity. Two strategies for the production of active zinc metal surfaces can be adopted (i) chemical or physical activation of commercial zinc powders, or (ii) in situ production of highly reactive metal powders by reduction of a zinc salt with a suitable reducing agent. 

Most of the heavy-metal impurities present in zinc salt solutions must be removed before the precipitation reaction, or these form insoluble colored sulfides that reduce the whiteness of the zinc sulfide pigment. This end is usually achieved by the addition of zinc metal which reduces most heavy-metal ions to their metallic form. The brightness of zinc sulfide can be improved by the addition of a small amount of cobalt salts (ca 0.04% on a Co/Zn basis) (20). Barium sulfate [7727-43-7] formed in the first step is isolated and can be used as an extender. 

Similar to the tin- and zinc-based methodologies, electron deficient alkenes were found to strongly catalyze the reductive elimination step.155 156-395 Organomercury reagents are also believed to add via metal addition.385...
