Brandon Strong, Brittany A. Lore, Emily R. Christensen, Nathaniel W. Martinez, ‡ and Andres W. Martinez*, † ‡ Department of Biological Sciences and Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California 93401, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Shrinking paper money is a captivating and memorable demonstration of chemistry in action that can be carried out using minimal equipment and reagents. Paper bills can be shrunk down to ∼25% of their initial surface area by treating them with an aqueous solution of sodium periodate. The cellulose in the paper bill is oxidized to dialdehyde cellulose via the Malaprade reaction, and the resulting change in size of the paper money provides macroscopic evidence of the reaction. The chemical change that occurs in the cellulose can be confirmed by a Tollen’s test. KEYWORDS: General Public, Elementary/Middle-School Science, High School/Introductory Chemistry, First-Year Undergraduate/General, Second-Year Undergraduate, Demonstrations, Hands-On-Learning/Manipulatives, Alcohols, Aldehydes/Ketones, Oxidation/Reduction ■ INTRODUCTION In 1937, Jackson and Hudson reported that a piece of filter paper shrank to 25% of its original surface area upon reacting Paper money is arguably one of the most recognizable objects 14 in the world. Magicians, artists, and scientists have all with periodic acid. The shrinkage was later attributed to the capitalized on the popularity of banknotes by using them as reorganization of the dialdehyde cellulose chains into nonlinear props to capture the attention of the public.

  • Alcohol Oxidation
    Alcohol oxidation Alcohol oxidation is an important organic reaction. Primary alcohols (R-CH2-OH) can be oxidized either Mechanism of oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids via aldehydes and The indirect oxidation of aldehyde hydrates primary alcohols to carboxylic acids normally proceeds via the corresponding aldehyde, which is transformed via an aldehyde hydrate (R- CH(OH)2) by reaction with water. The oxidation of a primary alcohol at the aldehyde level is possible by performing the reaction in absence of water, so that no aldehyde hydrate can be formed. Contents Oxidation to aldehydes Oxidation to ketones Oxidation to carboxylic acids Diol oxidation References Oxidation to aldehydes Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes is partial oxidation; aldehydes are further oxidized to carboxylic acids. Conditions required for making aldehydes are heat and distillation. In aldehyde formation, the temperature of the reaction should be kept above the boiling point of the aldehyde and below the boiling point of the alcohol. Reagents useful for the transformation of primary alcohols to aldehydes are normally also suitable for the oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones. These include: Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones Chromium-based reagents, such as Collins reagent (CrO3·Py2), PDC or PCC. Sulfonium species known as "activated DMSO" which can result from reaction of DMSO with electrophiles, such as oxalyl chloride (Swern oxidation), a carbodiimide (Pfitzner-Moffatt oxidation) or the complex SO3·Py (Parikh-Doering oxidation). Hypervalent iodine compounds, such as Dess-Martin periodinane or 2-Iodoxybenzoic acid. Catalytic TPAP in presence of excess of NMO (Ley oxidation). Catalytic TEMPO in presence of excess bleach (NaOCl) (Oxoammonium-catalyzed oxidation).

Recent Advances and Related Transformations Mediated by Other Transition Metal Oxo-species Vincenzo Piccialli Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche, Università degli Studi di Napoli ―Federico II‖, Via Cintia 4, 80126, Napoli, Italy; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-081-674111; Fax: +39-081-674393 Received: 24 February 2014; in revised form: 14 May 2014 / Accepted: 16 May 2014 / Published: 21 May 2014 Abstract: In the last years ruthenium tetroxide is increasingly being used in organic synthesis. Thanks to the fine tuning of the reaction conditions, including pH control of the medium and the use of a wider range of co-oxidants, this species has proven to be a reagent able to catalyse useful synthetic transformations which are either a valuable alternative to established methods or even, in some cases, the method of choice. Protocols for oxidation of hydrocarbons, oxidative cleavage of C–C double bonds, even stopping the process at the aldehyde stage, oxidative cleavage of terminal and internal alkynes, oxidation of alcohols to carboxylic acids, dihydroxylation of alkenes, oxidative degradation of phenyl and other heteroaromatic nuclei, oxidative cyclization of dienes, have now reached a good level of improvement and are more and more included into complex synthetic sequences. The perruthenate ion is a ruthenium (VII) oxo-species. Since its introduction in the mid-eighties, tetrapropylammonium perruthenate (TPAP) has reached a great popularity among organic chemists and it is mostly employed in catalytic amounts in conjunction with N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMO) for the mild oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to carbonyl compounds.

  • 7-1 EXPERIMENT 7: Reduction of Carbonyl Compounds – Achiral And
    Chemistry 2283g Experiment 7 – Carbonyl Reduction EXPERIMENT 7: Reduction of Carbonyl Compounds – Achiral and Chiral Reduction Relevant Sections in the text (Wade, 7th ed.) • 10.11 (p. 449) Reduction of the carbonyl group: synthesis of 1° and 2° alcohols • 18.12 (p. 831) Reactions of ketones and aldehydes: nucleophilic addition • 21.8 (p. 1013) Reduction of acid derivatives A portion of this experiment is based on a paper in J. Chem. Ed. by N. Pohl, A. Clague and K. Schwarz Department of Chemistry, Iowa State University, Ames IA General Concepts A reduction is often defined as the gain of two hydrogen atoms or the loss of an oxygen atom, or both. This leads to a very important conversion reaction, where aldehydes and ketones are reduced to primary and secondary alcohols. O [H] OH R1 R2 R1 R2 H Although various methods for this conversion are possible, the most frequently employed is the use of complex metal hydride reagents such as lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) and sodium borohydride (NaBH4). These particular reagents are also soluble in organic solvents and are not as reactive as a strong base, which is not true for other metal hydrides such as LiH, NaH and KH. Of the two most common reducing reagents, LiAlH4 is the more powerful, reducing most carbonyl containing compounds including aldehydes, ketones, esters, and amides. A more selective reducing agent is NaBH4, which only reacts with aldehydes and ketones due to its milder nature. Both reducing agents are a source of H−, which is transferred from the boron or aluminum to the carbonyl group.
