Abstract:
In this study, the photo-ozonation reaction for carbamazepine (CBZ) removal was investigated under alkaline conditions. Response surface methodology based on a central composite design was used to obtain the optimum experimental conditions, and examine both main and interaction effects of the photo-ozonation reaction variables such as O(3) concentration, H(2)O(2) concentration and UV intensity. The level of O(3) concentration significantly influenced CBZ removal (p < 0.001). CBZ removal increased with increasing both O(3) and H(2)O(2) concentration up to a certain level, whereas further increase in O(3) and H(2)O(2) concentration resulted in an adverse effect due to the hydroxyl radical scavenging effect. The optimum conditions for complete CBZ removal at pH 9 were found to be 0.89 mg of O(3) l(-1), 4.85 mg of H(2)O(2) l(-1) and 3.18 mW of UV intensity cm(-2), respectively.

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
Esters to Carboxylic Acids: Acid-Catalyzed Hydrolysis
During hydrolysis, the ester is first activated towards nucleophilic attack through the protonation of the carboxyl oxygen atom by the acid catalyst. The protonation makes the ester carbonyl carbon more electrophilic. In the next step, water acts as a nucleophile and adds to the...
