Abstract: A process for oxidizing an organic compound selected from an aliphatic, aromatic, aliphatic/aromatic, cycloaliphatic and heterocyclic alcohol, thiol, sulfide, aldehyde, amine, amide, ketone, acid, ether, ester, and organic compounds containing an activated carbon-carbon double bond, which process comprises contacting said organic compound dissolved in an organic solvent with a hypochlorous acid solution.
Abstract: The present invention provides for a method for the preparation of red colored magnetic particles for multicomponent toner compositions which are highly conductive and therefore suitable for use as developers in high speed electrophotographic copy machines embodying magnetic brush development. Suitable magnetic core metal particles are provided which are subsequently coated with finely divided particles of copper oxide (CuO). The copper oxide coating is then reduced in-situ on the surface of the core particle to provide an electrically conductive core particle uniformly coated with adherent metallic copper, which particle is of a red color.The present invention also provides a method for controlling and adjusting the electrical conductivity and color of toner materials as a function of the amount of metallic copper deposited on the surface of the magnetic core materials.

Abstract: A continuous process for the vapor phase oxidation of an alkane or olefin in molten salt catalyst to produce alkylene oxides in increased yields while reducing or substantially eliminating the formation of aldehyde by-products. The process involves the continuous separation and recirculation of aldehydes, normally formed in the oxidation reaction, back into the vapor phase oxidation reaction for co-oxidation to form carbon-oxygen gases while increasing the olefin selectivity to alkylene oxide.
