Abstract:
The research presented in this paper concerns the assessment of the resistance to high-temperature oxidation behaviour of a Ti-46Al-7Nb-0.7Cr-0.1Si-0.2Ni alloy and the explanation of the role of niobium during oxidation processes. The basic problem concerned the evaluation of the resistance of the studied alloy to cyclic oxidation in an air atmosphere, with particular attention to the influence of temperature, surface roughness and cooling rate from heating temperature to room temperature. The issue analysed was the effect of niobium addition on the corrosion kinetics as a high-melting element causing improved oxidation resistance, contributing to the reduction in the oxidation rate.

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.
