Homolytic Decomposition oft-Alkyl 2,2-Dimethylperoxypropionates

OFT—Objectives and Concepts

The research work carried out within the OFT-project shall provide insights, methods, and prototypic software to support the design of hydraulic closed loop control systems. The paper in hand presents an overview of the research work, motivates the current objectives of the project, and provides useful background information. In particular we develop different views of the hydraulic design proc...

Oft, Vbp: Qed?

The report by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) on the UK pharmaceutical price regulation scheme (PPRS) recommends the reform of the current scheme, which is a combination of profit and price controls, to one where price is based on the health benefits offered by a pharmaceutical. On closer examination some of the more commonly expressed concerns about these proposals do not seem to be well foun...

Using ring strain to inhibit a decomposition path: first synthesis of an Alkyl-BIAN ligand (Alkyl-BIAN = bis(alkyl)acenaphthenequinonediimine).

N-Alkyl imines of acenaphthenequinone are not stable because an isomerization occurs that releases part of the ring strain of the initially formed imine by changing the hybridization of one of the ring carbon atoms from sp(2) to sp(3); however, if an even more strained ring is present in the alkyl group, the isomerization becomes unfavorable and the compound is stable.

Homolytic Decomposition of Linoleic Acid Hydroperoxide: Identification of Fatty Acid Products1

An isomeric mixture of linoleic acid hydro peroxides, 13-hydroperoxy-cis9 trans-II-octadecadienoic acid (79%) a~d 9-hydroperoxy-eis-12,trans-IO-octadecadienoic acid (21 %), was decomposed homolytically by Fe(I!) in an ethanolwater solution. In one series of experiments, the hydroperoxides were decomposed by catalytic concentrations of Fe (II). The 10.5 M Fe(III) used to initiate the decompositi...
