Labile iron(II) and iron(III) complexes {[Fe II (bpy) 2 2+ ] solv and [Fe III (bpy) 2 3+] solv } in acetonitrile activate dioxygen for the oxidation of limonene to produce mainly carvone, carveol, limonene oxide, and perillaldehyde. Iron(III) complex is reduced by the substrate to iron(II) one, which activates dioxygen. Probably the catalyst interacts with substrate prior to the oxidation process. Perillaldehyde is likely formed directly from oxidation of methyl group (not via alcohol). However, the aldehyde is also reduced to perillyl alcohol by the reduced form of the catalyst.
In the reactions of N,N 0 -bis(2-hydroxyethyl)oxamide (BHEOD) with an excess of ethylene carbonate (EC) and N,N 0 -bis(2-hydroxypropyl)oxamide (BHPOD) with an excess of propylene carbonate (PC), the hydroxyethoxy and hydroxypropoxy derivatives of oxamide (OD) were obtained, respectively, distinguished by an increased thermal stability. First time, these derivatives were used as polyol components to obtain foamed polyurethane plastics with the contribution of 4,4 0 -diisocyanate diphenylmethane (MDI). The rigid polyurethane foams of a slight water uptake, good stability of dimensions, enhanced thermal stability, and compression strength were obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
