  2. 1. Development and Applications of Hypervalent Iodine Compounds : Powerful Arylation and Oxidation Reagents

    Author : Nazli Jalalian; Berit Olofsson; Viktor V. Zhdankin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hypervalent iodine compounds; diaryliodonium salts; oxidation; Koser s reagent; arylation; phenols; diaryl ethers; chemoselectivity; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : The first part of this thesis describes the efficient synthesis of several hypervalent iodine(III) compounds. Electron-rich diaryliodonium salts have been synthesized in a one-pot procedure, employing mCPBA as the oxidant. Both symmetric and unsymmetric diaryliodonium tosylates can be isolated in high yields. READ MORE

  4. 2. New Approaches to Investigate and Prevent Oxidation of Polypropylene

    Author : Petter Eriksson; KTH; []
    Keywords : oxidation; polypropylene; oxidative spreading; antioxidants; hyperbranched antioxidants;

    Abstract : When employing chemiluminescence to evaluate stabiliserperformance in a polymer, the induction time or the time toreach maximum chemiluminescence intensity is often used. Insuch an experiment the longest part of the experiment isnormally the time before the oxidation starts. READ MORE

  5. 3. Solar-based physicochemical-biological processes for the treatment of toxic and recalcitrant effluents

    Author : Tamer Essam; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bioteknik; Biotechnology; combined process; biodegradaiton; phenolics; phenol; Advanced Oxidation Processes; Photodegradation; photolysis;

    Abstract : Wastewater treatment is a worldwide necessity that is even more crucial to countries deprived from abundant fresh water sources or unable to afford advanced and costly processes. With this perspective, this thesis was conducted within an Egyptian-Swedish research collaboration that aimed to develop solar-based (as free renewable energy source available locally) process for hazardous wastewater treatment.

  6. 4. Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer from Hydrogen-Bonded Phenols

    Author : Tania Irebo; Leif Hammarström; James M. Mayer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Proton-coupled electron transfer; phenol oxidation; hydrogen bonds; artificial photosynthesis; promoting vibrations; proton transfer; laser flash-quench; transient absorption.; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is one of the elementary reactions occurring in many chemical and biological systems, such as photosystem II where the oxidation of tyrosine (TyrZ) is coupled to deprotonation of the phenolic proton. This reaction is here modelled by the oxidation of a phenol covalently linked to a Ru(bpy)32+-moitey, which is photo-oxidized by a laser flash-quench method. READ MORE

  7. 5. Diaryliodonium Salts : Synthesis, Applications and Computational Investigations

    Author : Marcus Reitti; Berit Olofsson; Michael Greaney; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diaryliodonium salt; hypervalent iodine; density functional theory; aryne; phenol; nitroarene; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Organic chemists have the ability to create complex organic molecules by connecting molecular building blocks in different ways. To name a few, these molecules are used as medicines, pesticides or in our household electronics, and are therefore crucial to life as we know it. READ MORE
