1 e- going to A + other goes with B

17
Q

Describe 7 valence electrons
(radical)

A

Same as carbocation = sp2

18
Q

Describe the stability of radicals from methyl to tertiary

19
Q

What are the steps in radical formation?

A

Initiation
Propagation
Termination

20
Q

What is a good oxidation initiation?

A

Light, UV light

21
Q

What are susceptible to C-H oxidation?

A

Ethers
Aliphatic amines
Aldehydes

22
Q

What are susceptible to O-H + N-H oxidation?

A

Phenols
Aromatic amines

23
Q

How can you minimise oxidation by preventing inititation?

A

Protect from light
Limit peroxides
Use optimum pH
Add chelating agent to remove metal ions

24
Q

How can you minimise oxidation by stopping oxidation?

A

Pack under inert gas - eg. nitrogen
Add antioxidant

25
Q

What is oxidation via atmospheric oxygen a significant issue for?

A

Proteins
Proteins in solution
Freeze-dried samples
Amino acids

26
Q

Describe no-radical reactions of peroxides

A

H2O2 can act as a precursor
To hydroxyl radical
BUT can also directly oxidise amines + sulphides
SN2 reaction

27
Q

When is oxidation observed with aromatic amines?

A

X = H = oxidation
X = EDG = oxidation
X = EWG = NO oxidation

28
Q

What do COOH produce under hydrogen peroxide?

A

Carboxyl peracids

29
Q

What do bicarbonate produce under hydrogen peroxide?

A

Peroxymonocarbonate

30
Q

What do nitriles produce under hydrogen peroxide?

A

Peroxycarbimidic

31
Q

Describe the oxidation of thioethers by hydrogen peroxide

A

Nu- attack by sulphur on peroxide
Yields sulfoxide
