Quinones—VII: Halogenation and oxidative halogenation of phenols with hydrogen halides/hydrogen peroxide. Synthesis of p-chloranil and p-bromanil

Chloranil 6 and bromanil 7 are prepared in very good yields from phenol or hydroquinone with concentrated hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid/30% hydrogen peroxide and magnesium chloride as catalyst. With catechol the reaction stops at the tetrachloro- or tetrabromo-o-hydroquinone (4 or 5) stage. The iodination of phenol with potassium iodide/hydrogen-peroxide in acetic acid yields 2,4,6-tri-iodophenol (3).     

Syntheses of arylsulfonyl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles

Reaction of sodium arylsulfinate with 2-aryl-5-chloro-1,3,4-thiadiazole gave 2-aryl-5-arylsulfonyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (3) in good yield. Starting from readily available 2-amino-5-benzylmercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole compound 7 was obtained in three steps in moderate yield. Reaction of compound 7 with sodium arylsulfinate afforded 2,5-diarylsulfonyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole ( 11 ). Oxidation of compound 10 with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid gave 2-arylsulfonyl-5-benzylsulfonyI-1,3,4-thiadiazole ( 12 ), in high yield.     

Comparison of pretreatment methods on the enzymatic saccharification of aspen wood

Five different chemical pretreatments, using dilute sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide, peroxymonosulfate, and acetic acid, were applied to aspen thermomechanical fibers. The pretreated fibers were submitted to enzymatic hydrolysis and the liberated glucose was monitored. High glucose concentrations were observed for the peroxymonosulfate and the acetic acid pretreated samples. Glucose concentrations greater than 25 g/L were obtained in these cases. This corresponds to conversions on the order of 90% of the pretreated substrate glucose content.     

Transition metal substituted polyoxometalates and their application in the direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol with hydrogen peroxide

A series of transition metal substituted polyoxometalates with a Keggin structure were prepared and utilized for the hydroxylation of benzene to phenol. Among the compounds tested, [(CH₃)₄N]₄PMo₁₁VO₄₀ exhibits the highest phenol yield (13.0%) and selectivity (90.6%) in acetic acid/acetonitrile. Vanadium peroxo is the active site of the reaction, and ammonium also plays an important role. The influence of various reaction parameters, such as solvent, reaction time, reaction temperature, and amount of hydrogen peroxide used were investigated to obtain the optimal reaction conditions.     

Determination of catalytic oxidation products of phenol by RP-HPLC

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with ultraviolet detection was established for the determination of phenol, catechol, hydroquinone, and p-benzoquinone in the reaction solution of catalytic oxidation of phenol using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant and copper-doped FeSBA-15 zeolite as the catalyst. Separation was accomplished on a reversed-phase C₁₈ column, and the elution condition was optimized by changing the composition of the mobile phase. A good resolution of all of the relative components in the reaction solution was achieved when the mobile phase was methanol–water–1% acetic acid aqueous solution = 10:50:40 (v/v/v). The concentrations of phenol, catechol, hydroquinone, and p-benzoquinone were determined in 11 different reaction solutions by the external standard method. The proposed HPLC method was simple, accurate, reliable, and suitable for tracing the amount of target products during the catalytic oxidation reaction of phenol. The results can provide data support for evaluating the properties of catalysts, and, thus, guide the selection of catalysts for the industrial production of dihydric phenol.     

Integration of anodic and cathodic processes for the synergistic electrochemical production of peracetic acid

Efficient in-situ production of peracetic acid is an unreached milestone of electrochemical engineering. Previous attempts in the production of peracetic acid were focused either on the cathodic production of hydrogen peroxide and its further addition to acetic acid solutions or on the oxidation of a suitable raw material (v. g. acetic acid, acetaldehyde, ethanol). In the present work, the oxidation of acetic acid by a boron doped diamond (BDD) anode was integrated with the cathodic production of hydrogen peroxide using a carbon felt gas diffusion electrode. A marked synergistic effect (synergy coefficient of 192.0 ± 13.1%) is observed when the oxidation of acetic acid by hydroxyl radicals is performed together with the cathodic production of hydrogen peroxide. A maximum PAA production efficiency of 19.87% was obtained, a value much higher than previous works based on the oxidation of acetic acid by BDD anodes and approximately double the optimal value reported in studies based on the production of hydrogen peroxide.     

Convenient preparation of arylnitromethanes by oxidation of benzaldoximes with urea hydrogen peroxide

Arylnitromethanes were prepared by oxidation of aldoximes with sodium perborate or with urea hydrogen peroxide in the presence of boric acid. The use of urea hydrogen peroxide complex provides better and more stable yields of nitro compound and allows one to halve an acetic acid consumption. Only E-aldoximes are oxidized to arylnitromethanes while Z-isomers are transformed into complex mixtures not containing arylnitromethanes.     

Manganese(II) naphthenate as effective catalyst for the clean oxidation of 2-methylnaphthalene by hydrogen peroxide

Oxidation of 2-methylnaphthalene (2-MN) with aqueous hydrogen peroxide was conducted in acetic acid. The epoxidation pathway was investigated by increasing the CH₃CO₃H content and adding manganese(II) naphthenate (MnPc) as catalyst. 2-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone was obtained in 75.6% conversion and with 80.0% selectivity under the latter conditions. A probable mechanism in which MnPc catalyzes the oxidation of 2-MN by hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid is proposed.     

Amino acids in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. Transformations of thiazolones into imidazole derivatives

5(4H)-Thiazolone derivative 4 , obtained from N-dithiocarbobenzoxyglycine ( 1 ) and N,N-dimethyl-N′-heteroarylformamidines 3 in acetic anhydride, was rearranged with sodium methoxide in methanol followed by acidification with acetic acid into imidazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives 5, 6 and 7 . These were further converted with methyl iodide into methylthio derivatives 8 , with hydrogen peroxide into the corresponding disulphide 9 , with hydrazine and amines into hydrazide 10 and amides 11 . In the reactions of 4a and 6a with amines in the presence of dichloromethane symetrically disubstituted methanes 14–18 were formed.     

Efficient Two-Step Synthesis of 11,11′-Dithiobis[1-(2-bromo-2-methylpropionyloxy)undecane], a Conventional Initiator for Grafting Polymer Brushes from Gold Surfaces via ATRP

11,11′-Dithiobis[1-(2-bromo-2-methylpropionyloxy)undecane], a conventional initiator for grafting polymers from gold surfaces, was synthesized in two steps from 11-mercapto-1-undecanol in 88–92% overall yield. Oxidative dimerization of 11-mercapto-1-undecanol with a catalytic amount of sodium iodide and 30% hydrogen peroxide in ethyl acetate proceeded in 96% yield. Esterification with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide in dichloromethane was clean and almost quantitative (92% yield) with pyridine used as base, whereas triethylamine gave a messy reaction (64% yield). Alternatively, esterification with 2-bromo-2-methyl-propanoic acid in dichloromethane occurred readily under Steglich's conditions with N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and a catalytic amount of dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP; 88% yield).

Peroxyacetic acid (PAA) has been first prepared from acetic acid in the presence of solid superacid, Nafion-H, as a catalyst at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure using gas diffusion electrode (GDE) as an oxygen cathode. Hydrogen peroxide was electrogenerated by the reduction of oxygen on the GDE and PAA could be produced by a redox reaction between electrogenerated hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. The continuous operation was carried out to examine the electrolysis performance of the present electrolysis system. The results demonstrate that the system can be continuously operated over one month with the production of PAA of ca. 1.9–2.3 mM.     

Surface characterization and catalytic evaluation of manganese nodule leached residue toward oxidation of benzene to phenol

Water washed manganese nodule leached residue (WMNLR) calcined at different temperatures was characterized by XRD, FTIR, TG-DTA, surface area, surface oxygen, and surface acid sites. Surface area, surface oxygen, surface hydroxyl group, and surface acid sites increase up to 400 degrees C and then decrease with further rise in calcination temperature up to 700 degrees C. The catalytic activity of the calcined samples was tested for single-step oxidation of benzene to phenol using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant and acetic acid as the solvent at room temperature. The influence of various reaction parameters such as solvent, concentration of solvent, oxidant amount, time, temperature, and catalyst amount was studied to optimize the reaction conditions. WMNLR calcined at 400 degrees C showed the highest catalytic activity towards oxidation of benzene with 12.7% conversion and 98% selectivity.

The system hydrogen peroxide–hexafluoroacetone sesquihydrate effectively oxidizes adamantane in the presence of VO(acac)₂ to afford 64% of adamantan-1-ol in tert-butyl alcohol or 76% of adamantan-2-one in a mixture of acetic acid with pyridine.     

Effect of solvent nature on the catalytic activity of iron-containing pyrocatecholsulfonic cationite in the reactions of H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> decomposition and benzene hydroxylation

Kinetics of hydrogen peroxide decomposition under the conditions of heterogenous catalysis with iron-containing pyrocatecholsulfonic cationite at 50°C in dimethyl sulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, acetonitrile, and nitromethane was studied. The value of rate constant of hydrogen peroxide decomposition in these solvents was found to diminish with increase of solvent nucleophilicity. At the hydroxylation of benzene in the aqueous acetonitrile medium the formation of phenol was observed. The phenol yield was found to depend on the composition of the binary solvent acetonitrile-water.
