A basic oxide, also called a base anhydride (meaning "base without water"), is usually formed in the reaction of oxygen with metals, especially alkali (group 1) and alkaline earth (group 2) metals. Both of these groups form ionic oxides that dissolve in water to form basic solutions of the corresponding metal hydroxide:
H 2 O 2 + 2 RCOCl → (RCO 2) 2 + 2 HCl H 2 O 2 + (RCO) 2 O → (RCO 2) 2 + H 2 O. The reaction competes with hydrolysis of the acylating agent but the hydroperoxide anion is a superior nucleophile relative to hydroxide. Unsymmetrical diacyl peroxides can be produced by treating acyl chlorides with the peroxy acid.
The Dakin oxidation (or Dakin reaction) is an organic redox reaction in which an ortho- or para-hydroxylated phenyl aldehyde (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) or ketone reacts with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in base to form a benzenediol and a carboxylate. Overall, the carbonyl group is oxidised, whereas the H 2 O 2 is reduced.
Through a concerted mechanism, one of the substituents on the ketone group migrates to the oxygen of the peroxide group while a carboxylic acid leaves. [1] This migration step is thought to be the rate determining step. [2] [3] Finally, deprotonation of the oxocarbenium ion produces the ester. [1] Reaction mechanism of the Baeyer-Villiger ...
The reaction is a two-step mechanism. First the oxygen performs a nucleophilic conjugate addition to give a stabilized carbanion. This carbanion then attacks the same oxygen atom, displacing a leaving group from it, to close the epoxide ring.
2 • NO → O 2 + N 2. When exposed to oxygen, nitric oxide converts into nitrogen dioxide: 2 • NO + O 2 → 2 • NO 2. This reaction is thought to occur via the intermediates ONOO • and the red compound ONOONO. [16] In water, nitric oxide reacts with oxygen to form nitrous acid (HNO 2). The reaction is thought to proceed via the ...
Such reactions rely on radical initiators that reacts with oxygen to form an intermediate that abstracts a hydrogen atom from a weak C-H bond. The resulting radical binds O 2, to give hydroperoxyl (ROO•), which then continues the cycle of H-atom abstraction.

Notice that oxygen forms three bonds to titanium and titanium forms six bonds to oxygen. An oxide (/ ˈ ɒ k s aɪ d /) is a chemical compound containing at least one oxygen atom and one other element [1] in its chemical formula. "Oxide" itself is the dianion (anion bearing a net charge of –2) of oxygen, an O 2– ion with oxygen in the ...
