Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes: Ozonolysis01:46

Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes: Ozonolysis

13.7K
In ozonolysis, ozone is used to cleave a carbon–carbon double bond to form aldehydes and ketones, or carboxylic acids, depending on the work-up.
Ozone is a symmetrical bent molecule stabilized by a resonance structure.

Radical Autoxidation01:20

Radical Autoxidation

3.4K
The oxidation of an organic compound in the presence of air or oxygen is called autoxidation. For example, cumene reacts with oxygen to form hydroperoxide. Autoxidation involves initiation, propagation, and termination steps. Many organic compounds are susceptible to autoxidation—especially ethers in the presence of oxygen, which form hydroperoxides. Even though this reaction is slow, old ether bottles contain small amounts of peroxide, which leads to laboratory explosions during ether...

Oxidation of Alkenes: Anti Dihydroxylation with Peroxy Acids02:04

Oxidation of Alkenes: Anti Dihydroxylation with Peroxy Acids

8.1K
Diols are compounds with two hydroxyl groups. In addition to syn dihydroxylation, diols can also be synthesized through the process of anti dihydroxylation. The process involves treating an alkene with a peroxycarboxylic acid to form an epoxide. Epoxides are highly strained three-membered rings with oxygen and two carbons occupying the corners of an equilateral triangle. This step is followed by ring-opening of the epoxide in the presence of an aqueous acid to give a trans diol.

Stereochemical Effects of Enolization

The chiral α-carbon of the carbonyl compound is the stereocenter of the molecule. As shown in the figure below, when such a carbonyl compound undergoes racemization under an acidic or basic condition, an achiral enol is formed.

Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones01:17

Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones

5.3K
In the presence of oxidizing agents, phenols are oxidized to quinones. Quinones can be easily reduced back to phenols using mild reducing agents. The electron-donating hydroxyl group enhances the reactivity of the aromatic ring, enabling oxidation of the ring even in the absence of an α hydrogen.
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox...

Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetraoxide02:44

Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetraoxide

13.6K
Alkenes are converted to 1,2-diols or glycols through a process called dihydroxylation. It involves the addition of two hydroxyl groups across the double bond with two different stereochemical approaches, namely anti and syn. Dihydroxylation using osmium tetroxide progresses with syn stereochemistry.

Summary

Ozonated oils, often extra virgin olive oil, are popular in ozone therapy but lack sufficient research. Misinformation from suppliers makes quality and efficacy of these online-sold products controversial.

Area of Science:

  • Ozone therapy
  • Dermatology
  • Complementary and alternative medicine

Background:

  • Ozonated oils, particularly those derived from extra virgin olive oil, are widely utilized in ozone therapy.
  • The internet is a significant source of information regarding ozonated oils, yet much of it is inaccurate.
  • Current data on ozonated oil benefits is often provided by suppliers with financial interests, leading to potential misinformation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the challenges and misinformation surrounding ozonated oils.
  • To provide accurate information for consumers and users of ozonated oils.
  • To address the controversy regarding the quality and efficacy of commercially available ozonated oils.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on ozonated oil studies and online information.
Keywords:

  • Analysis of data sources concerning ozonated oil benefits and sales.
  • Identification of issues related to product reliability and ozonation levels.

    • Main Results:

    • Studies on ozonated oils, similar to other ozone therapy research, are insufficient to combat widespread misinformation.
    • Suppliers often disseminate biased information about ozonated oil benefits due to financial incentives.
    • The quality and efficacy of numerous online-marketed ozonated oils remain unverified, with few reliable products available.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a critical need for more rigorous scientific research into ozonated oils.
    • Consumers should exercise caution when purchasing ozonated oils online due to quality and efficacy concerns.
    • Addressing misinformation is crucial for informed use of ozonated oils in ozone therapy.
