The anodic oxidation of Ag2O to AgO in normal aqueous potassium hydroxide solution was investigated quantitatively under both galvanostatic and potentiostatic conditions at 25 °C. A few results for similar experiments in N/40 KOH are also reported. Tafel slopes and other parameters were determined. The experimental results show the dependence of current density as a hyperbolic function of overpotential, i.e. i = 2i0 sinh (λFη/2RT). The electron number λ was found to be 2 and the symmetry factor β was confirmed to be 1/2. It is proposed that the rate-determining step for the formation of AgO from Ag2O occurs at the Ag2O/AgO interface and involves the transfer of O−2 ions.

The preparation of dialkyl tert-butylperoxy phosphates (2, R = alkyl) has been achieved by the reaction of the corresponding dialkyl phosphorochloridates (1, R = alkyl) with tert-butyl hydroperoxide either in the presence of pyridine or in the presence of aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. Neither of these routes is suitable for the preparation of dialkyl tert-butylperoxy phosphates in quantity since they yield peroxyphosphates which are contaminated either with the corresponding tetraalkyl pyrophosphates or dialkyl phosphates; the contaminants cannot easily be removed by conventional means from the peroxyphosphates. The method of choice for the preparation in high yield of large quantities of pure dialkyl tert-butylperoxy phosphates involves the interaction of the corresponding dialkyl phosphorochloridate with sodium tert-butyl peroxide which has been prepared in situ from the reaction of tert-butyl hydroperoxide with sodium hydride.

Anisotropic chemical etching is an important means for characterizing the polarity and defect density of single crystals. In this letter, we present the results of our studies on the etching of bulk AlN crystals in aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. The nitrogen polarity (0001) basal plane initially etched rapidly, while the aluminum polarity basal plane, and prismatic (100) planes were not etched. The etch rate of the nitrogen polarity basal plane eventually decreased to zero, as the surface became completely covered with hexagonal hillocks which were bounded by {101} planes. The hillock density for the self-seeded AlN crystals studied was typically in the range of 5×107cm−2 to 109cm−2. From our analysis of etched AlN crystals, we infer that freely nucleated crystals predominately have the nitrogen to aluminum direction pointing out from the nucleation surface, that is the ends of the AlN crystals facing the source are aluminum polarity.

AbstractThe present communication deals with a straightforward, efficient, and green synthesis of a series of racemic version of 3-[3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-oxo-1-arylpropyl]-4-hydroxycoumarins as biologically interesting warfarin analogues upon decarboxylative hydrolysis of bis-coumarin derivatives in aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. The salient features of this practical method are operational simplicity, avoidance of any organic solvents and tedious column chromatographic purification, clean reaction profiles, excellent yields, and gram-scale synthetic applicability.

Some novel benzimidazolyl chalcones were synthesized by condensation ofN-(4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenyl)acetamide with aromatic aldehydes in presence of aqueous potassium hydroxide solution at room temperature. All the synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of their IR,1H NMR spectroscopic data and elemental analysis. All the compounds have been screened for antimicrobial activity by the cup-plate method.

Aqueous cell wall and cytoplasm extracts from Mucor rouxii cells grown under aerobic and anaerobic (oxygen-limiting) conditions were obtained. Both of the extracts from the anaerobic and aerobic cells solubilized lanosterol and ergosterol but not to the same extent; ergosterol was complexed about 2–3 times greater than the same concentration of lanosterol. It was also apparent that the relative binding capacities of the cell extracts were dependent on the cell growth environment. Two additional fractions were obtained from each extract by (a) methanol precipitation and (b) refluxing in 2% aqueous potassium hydroxide solution followed by methanol precipitation. The binding activities of these precipitates and the corresponding precipitates from yeast extract were compared and the results indicated a range of binding activites which depended on both the extract and the sterol. The data suggested that the in vitro sterol binding of M. rouxii extracts was not due to one particular macromolecule but that a number of compounds were involved in this complexation process.

An experimental study of the kinetics for the electrochemical formation of AgO from Ag2O in aqueous alkaline solutions was reported in an earlier paper (1). The proposed mechanism for the rate-determining step was suggested to be the transfer of oxide ions across the mixed oxide interface. Further theoretical possibilities under Langmuir and Temkin conditions of surface coverages are considered here in the light of the previously obtained experimental data. In particular we examine the possibilities of the rate-determining step involving adsorbed ionic intermediates on the AgO/Ag2O electrode at the oxide/electrolyte interface. For the Temkin conditions, the intrinsic and induced heterogeneity models of Conway and his co-workers have been applied to our calculation of Tafel slopes. None of the mechanisms at the oxide/electrolyte interface were found to be rate-controlling.
