Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Potassium Permanganate02:21

Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Potassium Permanganate

13.0K
Alkenes can be dihydroxylated using potassium permanganate.  The method encompasses the reaction of an alkene with a cold, dilute solution of potassium permanganate under basic conditions to form a cis-diol along with a brown precipitate of manganese dioxide.

Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetraoxide

10.8K
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.

Oxidation and Reduction of Organic Molecules

7.6K
Energy production within a cell involves many coordinated chemical pathways. Most of these pathways are combinations of oxidation and reduction reactions, which occur at the same time. An oxidation reaction strips an electron from an atom in a compound, and the addition of this electron to another compound is a reduction reaction. Because oxidation and reduction usually occur together, these pairs of reactions are called redox reactions.
The removal of an electron from a molecule, results in a...

Redox Equilibria: Overview

1.1K
A reduction-oxidation reaction is commonly called a redox reaction. In a redox reaction, electrons are transferred from one species to another rather than being shared between or among atoms. The reducing agent or reductant is the species that loses electrons and gets oxidized in the process. The species that gains electrons and gets reduced in the process is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Redox reactions are represented as two separate equations called half-reactions, where one equation...

Phase I Oxidative Reactions: Overview

379
Phase I biotransformation, or functionalization, is a crucial chemical process that converts drugs and other xenobiotics into more water-soluble forms, facilitating expulsion from the body. It involves oxidative, reductive, and hydrolytic reactions that add or unveil polar functional groups on lipophilic substrates. Key players in phase I reactions are the mixed-function oxidases. Situated in liver cell microsomes, these enzymes predominantly carry out drug metabolism. They require molecular...

Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Selective oxidation of polyols is key for biomass valorization.
  • Cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) is a potential electrocatalyst but suffers from performance limitations due to Co oxidation state transitions.
  • High overpotentials hinder the efficiency of CoOOH in dehydrogenation and C-C bond cleavage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the electrocatalytic performance of CoOOH for polyol upgrading.
  • To investigate the effect of heteroatom co-doping (Cu and Fe) on CoOOH for improved glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR).
  • To understand the synergistic roles of Cu and Fe in optimizing the catalytic cycle.

Main Methods:

  • Electrochemical synthesis and characterization of Cu-Fe co-doped CoOOH.
  • Glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) studies using the modified catalyst.
  • Analysis of catalytic performance, including selectivity, productivity, and Faradaic efficiency.
  • Mechanistic investigations into the roles of Cu and Fe doping.

Main Results:

  • Cu-Fe co-doped CoOOH significantly improves GOR efficiency at lower overpotentials.
  • Achieved 95.5% formic acid selectivity, 1.55 mmol cm-2 h-1 productivity, and 84.7% Faradaic efficiency.
  • Cu facilitates glycerol adsorption and the redox cycle, while Fe enhances the Co3+/Co4+ transition and catalyst regeneration.

Conclusions:

  • Heteroatom co-doping with Cu and Fe is a viable strategy to optimize CoOOH electrocatalysts for biomass valorization.
  • The synergistic effects enhance glycerol adsorption, dehydrogenation, C-C bond cleavage, and active site regeneration.
  • This approach provides a framework for designing efficient, non-precious metal catalysts for upgrading biomass-derived intermediates.
