It is more hydrogen-dense than liquid hydrogen and also able to exist at normal temperatures and pressures. [17] Ammonia borane finds some use in organic synthesis as an air-stable derivative of diborane. [18] It can be used as a reducing agent in transfer hydrogenation reactions, often in the presence of a transition metal catalyst. [19]
The reaction commences with the formation of the aquo adduct, H 2 O−BF 3, which then loses HF that gives fluoroboric acid with boron trifluoride. [22] 4 BF 3 + 3 H 2 O → 3 H[BF 4] + B(OH) 3. The heavier trihalides do not undergo analogous reactions, possibly due to the lower stability of the tetrahedral ions [BCl 4] − and [BBr 4] −.
In this type of plot (Figure 1), each axis represents a unique reaction coordinate, the corners represent local minima along the potential surface such as reactants, products or intermediates and the energy axis projects vertically out of the page. Changing a single reaction parameter can change the height of one or more of the corners of the plot.
A closely related mixture, sometimes called "base piranha", is a 5:1:1 mixture of water, ammonia solution (NH 4 OH, or NH 3 (aq)), and 30% hydrogen peroxide. [2] [3] As hydrogen peroxide is less stable at high pH than under acidic conditions, NH 4 OH (pH c. 11.6) also accelerates its decomposition.
Most reactions transfer a nucleophilic boron substituent to an electrophilic center either inter- or intramolecularly. In particular, α,β -unsaturated borates and borates with an α leaving group are highly susceptible to intramolecular 1,2-migration of a group from boron to the electrophilic α position.
Peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence (CL) was first reported by Rauhut in 1967 [1] in the reaction of diphenyl oxalate. The emission is generated by the reaction of an oxalate ester with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a suitably fluorescent energy acceptor. This reaction is used in glow sticks. Glow sticks using peroxyoxalate CL
The first stage of Fenton's reaction (oxidation of Fe 3+ with hydrogen peroxide) is used in Haber–Weiss reaction; Fenton's reagent can be used in organic synthesis reactions: e.g. hydroxylation of arenes via a free radical substitution; Conversion of benzene into phenol by using Fenton's reagent; Oxidation of barbituric acid into alloxan.
Borane ammoniate, which is produced by a displacement reaction of other borane adducts, eliminates elemental hydrogen on heating to give borazine (HBNH) 3. [12] Borane adducts are widely used in organic synthesis for hydroboration, where BH 3 adds across the C=C bond in alkenes to give trialkylboranes: [13] (THF)BH 3 + 3 CH 2 =CHR → B(CH 2 CH ...
