Preparation

The compound is prepared in the laboratory by oxidation of acenaphthene with potassium dichromate. [3] Commercially, oxidation is effected with peroxide. Over-oxidation gives naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hydrocarbon</span> Organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon

In organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are examples of group 14 hydrides. Hydrocarbons are generally colourless and hydrophobic, and their odors are usually weak or exemplified by the odors of gasoline and lighter fluid. They occur in a diverse range of molecular structures and phases: they can be gases, liquids, low melting solids or polymers. In the fossil fuel industries, hydrocarbon refers to the naturally occurring petroleum, natural gas and coal, and to their hydrocarbon derivatives and purified forms. Combustion of hydrocarbons is the main source of the world's energy. Petroleum is the dominant raw-material source for organic commodity chemicals such as solvents and polymers. Most anthropogenic (human-generated) emissions of greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels, and methane released from natural gas handling and from agriculture.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Oxide</span> Chemical compound with at least one oxygen atom attached to the central atom

An oxide is a chemical compound that contains at least one oxygen atom and one other element in its chemical formula. "Oxide" itself is the dianion of oxygen, an O2– (molecular) ion. with oxygen in the oxidation state of −2. Most of the Earth's crust consists of oxides. Even materials considered pure elements often develop an oxide coating. For example, aluminium foil develops a thin skin of Al2O3 (called a passivation layer) that protects the foil from further corrosion.

An organochloride, organochlorine compound, chlorocarbon, or chlorinated hydrocarbon is an organic compound containing at least one covalently bonded atom of chlorine. The chloroalkane class provides common examples. The wide structural variety and divergent chemical properties of organochlorides lead to a broad range of names, applications, and properties. Organochlorine compounds have wide use in many applications, though some are of profound environmental concern, with TCDD being one of the most notorious.

Cerium(IV) oxide, also known as ceric oxide, ceric dioxide, ceria, cerium oxide or cerium dioxide, is an oxide of the rare-earth metal cerium. It is a pale yellow-white powder with the chemical formula CeO2. It is an important commercial product and an intermediate in the purification of the element from the ores. The distinctive property of this material is its reversible conversion to a non-stoichiometric oxide.

Aromatization is a chemical reaction in which an aromatic system is formed from a single nonaromatic precursor. Typically aromatization is achieved by dehydrogenation of existing cyclic compounds, illustrated by the conversion of cyclohexane into benzene. Aromatization includes the formation of heterocyclic systems.

Basketene Chemical compound

Basketene (IUPAC name: pentacyclo[4.4.0.02,5.03,8.04,7]dec-9-ene) is an organic compound with the formula C10H10. It is a polycyclic alkene and the dehydrogenated version of basketane, which was named for its structural similarity to a basket. Due to its hydrocarbon composition and unique structure, the chemical compound is of considerable interest to those examining energy surfaces of these (CH)10 cage molecules and what possible factors influence their minima. Additionally, the complex structure of this compound has intrigued researchers studying the chemistry of highly strained ring systems. Basketene and its family of derivatives also have important chemical and physical properties. These molecules all tend to have a high standard enthalpy of formation, combined with their high density, leading to possible uses in explosives.
