Decomposition of α-chloro-oximes in dimethyl sulphoxide
Abstract : The function of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as both an electrophilic and nucleophilic reagent has been well established. However, its reactions with substrates which are similarly biphilic have attracted little comment, even though they are of potential mechanistic and preparative interest. Discussed are the mechanisms involved in the heating of alpha-chloro-p-nitrobenzaldoxime in DMSO. (Author)
A spectroscopic method to determine in-cylinder flame temperature and soot concentration was combined with in-cylinder NOx-modelling to study the influence of operating conditions and combustion system parameters on the formation of soot and NOx in a low-emission single- cylinder direct-injection diesel engine. Fuel consumption and emissions are compared with time-resolved combustion analysis data. (A) For the covering abstract see IRRD 869246.
