Description: IUPAC name: Osmium tetraoxide Other names: Tetraoxoosmium; Osmium(VIII) oxide Chemical formula: OsO4 Molar mass: 254.23 g/mol 0 3 Appearance: white volatile solid; Melting point: 40.25 C; Density: 4.9 g/cm 0 0 5.70 g/100 mL (10 C) and 6.23 g/100 mL (25 C) in water Solubility 375 g/100 mL (CCl4) soluble in most organic solvents, ammonium hydroxide, phosphorus oxychloride Preparation of Osmium tetroxide: - OsO4 is formed slowly when osmium powder reacts with O2 at ambient temperature. Reaction of bulk solid requires heating to 4000 C. Applications of Osmium tetroxide: 1. Hydroxylation of Alkenes - Alkenes add to OsO4 to give diolate species that hydrolyze to cis-diols. The net process is called dihydroxylation. 2. Coordination chemistry - OsO4 is a Lewis acid and a mild oxidant. It reacts with alkaline aqueous solution to give the perosmate anion 2− 4− OsO4(OH)2 . This species is easily reduced to osmate anion, OsO2(OH)4 . - With tert-BuNH2, the imido derivative is produced: OsO4 + Me3CNH2 → OsO3(NCMe3) + H2O - Similarly, with NH3 one obtains the nitrido complex: OsO4 + NH3 + KOH → K[Os(N)O3] + 2H2O 3. Biological staining - OsO4 is a widely used staining agent used in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to provide contrast to the image. 4. Polymer staining 5.

It is widely used in the synthesis of organic and organometallic compounds. Description: IUPAC name: Triphenylphosphane Chemical formula: C18H15P; Molar mass: 262.29 g/mol Appearance: white solid; Melting point: 800C; Density: 1.1 g/cm3 Solubility: Insoluble in water; Soluble in organic solvent Dipole moment: 1.4 - 1.44 D; Molecular shape: Pyramidal Preparation of Triphenylphosphine: - Triphenylphosphine is a relatively inexpensive substance. It can be prepared in the laboratory by treatment of phosphorus trichloride with phenylmagnesium bromide or phenyllithium. - The industrial synthesis involves the reaction between phosphorus trichloride, chlorobenzene, and sodium. PCl3 + 3PhCl + 6Na → PPh3 + 6NaCl Applications of Osmium tetroxide: 1. Reagent in Mitsunobu reactions: In this reaction, a mixture of PPh3 and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate ("DIAD", or its diethyl analogue, DEAD) converts an alcohol and a carboxylic acid to an ester. The DIAD is reduced as it serves as the hydrogen acceptor, and the PPh3 is oxidized to OPPh3. 2. Reagent in Appel reactions: In this reaction, PPh3 and CX4 (X = Cl, Br) are used to convert alcohols to alkyl halides, forming OPPh3 as a byproduct. PPh3 + CBr4 + RCH2OH → OPPh3 + RCH2Br + HCBr3 3. Reagent in Staudinger reactions: The Staudinger reaction is a chemical reaction of an azide with a phosphine or phosphite produces an iminophosphorane.

NBS can be a convenient source of the bromine radical (Br•). Description: IUPAC name: 1-Bromo-2,5-pyrrolidinedione; Other names: N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) Chemical formula: C4H4BrNO2; Molar mass: 177.99 g/mol 0 3 Appearance: white solid; Melting point: 175 to 178 C; Density: 2.098 g/cm 0 Solubility: 14.7 g/L (25 C) in water; insoluble in CCl4 Preparation of N-Bromosuccinimide: NBS is commercially available. It can also be synthesized in the laboratory. To do so, sodium hydroxide and bromine are added to an ice water solution of succinimide. The NBS product precipitates and can be collected by filtration. Applications of N-Bromosuccinimide: 1. Addition to alkenes: NBS will react with alkenes in aqueous solvents to give bromohydrins 2. Allylic and benzylic bromination: Standard conditions for using NBS in allylic and/or benzylic bromination involves refluxing a solution of NBS in anhydrous CCl4 with a radical initiator—usually azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) or benzoyl peroxide, irradiation, or both to effect radical initiation. The allylic and benzylic radical intermediates formed during this reaction are more stable than other carbon radicals and the major products are allylic and
