General description

2,3-Dimethyl-2-butene undergoes ozonolysis in dark to yield hydroxyl radical. Reaction of ozone with 2,3-dimethyl 2-butene (DMB) has been investigated using a flow-tube interfaced to UV photoelectron spectrometer. DMB forms adduct with thianthrene cation radical tetrafluoroborate at 0°C and -15°C.

Application

2,3-Dimethyl-2-butene was employed as substrate in photoinduced molecular transformations involving 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones.

Thianthrene cation radical tetrafluoroborate (Th*+ BF4-) has been found to add to 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (DMB) at 0 degrees C and -15 degrees C. The adduct, 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-(5,10-thianthreniumdiyl)butane ditetrafluoroborate (12), was isolated at -15 degrees C, and its 1H NMR spectrum was recorded

In order to investigate the heterogeneous oxidation kinetics of the herbicide terbuthylazine (TERB), a stable and reproducible generation system of "dark" hydroxyl radical in the gas phase was developed and optimized using a PTR-MS. TERB was adsorbed on silica particles

Although indirect evidence has suggested that liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 can reductively dehalogenate several compounds to carbene metabolites, there has been no direct proof for the formation of these reactive species. We report in this paper that carbenes can be

1. During anaerobic reductive incubation of liver microsomes, from either the pyridine- or phenobarbital-treated rat, with 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane (HCFC-141b) in the presence of a NADPH-regenerating system, a time- and dose-dependent formation of reactive metabolites was detected as indicated by a depletion
