KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF OXIDATION OF SOME KETONES BY N-BROMOACETAMIDE

The kinetics of oxidation of n-butyl methyl ketone (n-BMK) and i-butyl methyl ketone (i-BMK) by N-bromoacetamide (NBA) is studied in perchloric acid media in the presence of mercuric acetate.The main product of the oxidation is the corresponding 1,2-dicarbonyl compound.The reaction order with respect to NBA is zero while with respect to ketone and H+ it is unity.Mercuric acetate, acetamide and sodium perchlorate have negligible effect on the reaction rate, while the dielectric effect is negative.A solvent isotope effect (k0(D2O)/k0(H2O) = 1.80-2.05 and 1.70-2.06 for n-BMK and i-BMK, respectively ) at 35 deg C is observed.On the basis of the available evidence a suitable mechanism consistent with the experimental results is proposed in which it is suggested that the mechanistic route for NBA oxidation is through the enol form of the ketone in an acidic medium.
Selective alkene oxidation with H2O2 and a heterogenized Mn catalyst: Epoxidation and a new entry to vicinal cis-diols

Covalent anchoring of 1,4-dimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane on silica gel is the first step in the preparation of a heterogenized Mn catalyst. When H2O2 is used as the oxidant, this material can catalyze the vicinal cis- dihydroxylation of disubstituted olefins, as shown schematically here. Both enantiomers of the product are obtained.
Cobalt(II)-Catalyzed Reaction of Aldehydes with Acetic Anhydride under an Oxygen Atmosphere: Scope and Mechanism

The reaction of aldehydes with acetic anhydride in the presence of catalytic cobalt(II) chloride under an oxygen atmosphere at ambient temperature is dependent upon the reaction medium.Aliphatic aldehydes react in acetonitrile to give 1,2-diones whereas the aromatic aldehydes are acylated to yield the corresponding acylals.On the other hand, carboxylic acids are obtained from aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes by conducting the reaction in dichloroethane or benzene.Cobalt(II) chloride in acetonitrile catalyzes the conversion of aliphatic aldehydes to the correspondinganhydrides in the absence of acetic anhydride whereas aromatic aldehydes remain largely unaffected under these conditions.A preliminary mechanistic study in three different solvents (i.e. acetonitrile, dichloroethane, and DMF) has revealed that in acetonitrile and in the presence of acetic anhydride, aliphatic aldehydes behave differently than aromatic aldehydes.Some trapping experiments using methyl acrylate and stilbene have been conducted to demonstrate the occurence of an acyl cobalt and peroxyacyl cobalt intermediate during these reactions.
