Abstract:
The microstructure, phase composition, and high-temperature oxidation resistance of Fe-free AlCoCrNiNb0.2 and AlCoCr0.5NiNb0.2 high-entropy alloys (HEAs) were investigated. In the as-cast HEAs, niobium was found to mainly release as a Laves phase in the interdendritic region, and its solubility in the dendrites of the BCC solid solution was about 2 at.%. Both samples exhibited parabolic behavior during 100 h oxidation at 1000 °C and 1100 °C. The AlCoCrNiNb0.2 alloy demonstrated higher resistance to high-temperature oxidation compared to AlCoCr0.5NiNb0.2. The specific weight changes after 100 h of isothermal holding at 1000 °C and 1100 °C were 0.65 mg/cm2 and 1.31 mg/cm2, respectively, which are superior compared to the Fe-containing HEAs. Cr was revealed to play an important role in the oxidation behavior of the HEAs, decreasing the parabolic oxidation rate constant and increasing the activation energy of the oxidation process in the alloys.

Oxidations of Aldehydes and Ketones to Carboxylic Acids
Aldehydes readily undergo oxidation in strong oxidizing agents such as potassium permanganate and chromic acid. The oxidation can also be carried out using mild oxidizing agents such as silver oxide. In fact, aldehydes can be easily oxidized...

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.
