Worner and Miilhaupt 9 improved Vogtle s procedure by modifications that do not utilize excess reagents and complicated purifications. They first improved the nitrile reduction step by the use of Raney nickel 10 at ambient temperature (8 bar H2) with a trace of sodium hydroxide in an ethanolic solvent. They further found that the cyanoethylation, 

A simple series of 1 — 2 A-branching cascade molecules based on 4,4 ,4 -tris(A,A-diphenylamino)triphenylamine has been prepared and characterized.1181 The ESR spectrum of the cationic triradical of the related l,3,5-tris(diphenylamino)benzene has been studied 19 in detail.

In practice, the reference base is usually taken not as a-methylnaphthalene but as heptamethyinonane (HMN), a branched isomer of n-cetane. The HMN has a cetane number of 15. In a binary system containing Y% of n-cetane, the cetane number CN vyOl be, by definition (./ - V ... 

Eddy Currents ttike their name from the swirls (eddies) observed in turbulent water flow. The Greek mythology tells us about Charybdis. A monster eddy current between Italy and Sicily whose attractive field pulled unwary sailors to their destruction. Our kind of eddy currents are usually not so dangerous, they flow in electrical conductors and are a branch of Electromagnetics. Where does that spring from Could it make eddy currents the very oldest NDT technique ... 

The rotational selection mle for a transition is A/ = 1. Lines which have J = J" - are called P lines and the set of them is called the P branch of the band. Lines for which J = J + wq called R lines and tlie set of them the R branch. (Although not seen in a transition, a branch with f = f would be called a Q... 

If either R or R has a branched ciiain structure and is therefore bulky, it will exert a hindering influence (steric hindrance) in the formation of the bimole-cular complex (in 2) and esterification is accordingly more difficult. 

A guide we can sometimes use, particularly if we use discormection b in frame 69, is to put the OH group at a branch point in the molecule, knowing that disconnection will be easy there. Try this ... 

Review Problem 6 Some chemists who were investigating the possibility of reversible Friedel-Crafts reactions, wanted an activated aromatic ring cormected to a branched alkyl chain and chose to make TM 82. How would you do it ... 

Analysis Obviously we have to discoimect one of the groups next to the tertiary alcohol two (a or give us plenty of simplification but only one (a) leads us back to a branch point ... 

The higher homologues of propyne, e.g. 1-decyne, can be obtained in a similar way. Starting from 1-butyne and its homologues, alkylation with alkyl halides leads to 1-alkynes with a branched substituent. 

The issue of regioselectivity arises with arylhydrazones of unsymmetrical ketones which can form two different enehydrazine intermediates. Under the conditions used most commonly for Fischer cyclizations, e g. ethanolic HCI, the major product is usually the one arising from the more highly substituted enehydrazine. Thus methyl ketones usually give 2-methy indoles and cycliz-ation occurs in a branched chain in preference to a straight chain. This regioselectivity is attributed to the greater stability of the more substituted enhydrazine and its dominance of the reaction path. 

Methane is the only alkane of molecular formula CH4 ethane the only one that is C2H6 and propane the only one that is C3Hj Beginning with C4H10 however constitutional isomers (Section 1 8) are possible two alkanes have this particular molecular formula In one called n butane, four carbons are joined m a continuous chain The nmn butane stands for normal and means that the carbon chain is unbranched The second isomer has a branched carbon chain and is called isobutane... 

As noted earlier m this section branched alkanes have lower boiling points than their unbranched isomers Isomers have of course the same number of atoms and elec Irons but a molecule of a branched alkane has a smaller surface area than an unbranched one The extended shape of an unbranched alkane permits more points of contact for mtermolecular associations Compare the boiling points of pentane and its isomers... 

Two constitutionally isomeric alkanes have the molecular formula C4H10 One has an unbranched chain (CH3CH2CH2CH3) and is called n butane, the other has a branched chain [(CH3)3CH] and is called isobutane Both n butane and isobutane are common names...

When monomers of the type AlA or even greater functionality are involved, the effect of their incorporation into the growing polymer chain is to introduce a branch point into the polymer. 

The probability that a chain segment is capped at both ends by a branch unit is described by the branching coefficient a. The branching coefficient is central to the discussion of gelation, since whether gelation occurs or not depends on what happens after capping a section of chain with a potential branch point. 

Bulk Polymerization. The bulk polymerization of acryUc monomers is characterized by a rapid acceleration in the rate and the formation of a cross-linked insoluble network polymer at low conversion (90,91). Such network polymers are thought to form by a chain-transfer mechanism involving abstraction of the hydrogen alpha to the ester carbonyl in a polymer chain followed by growth of a branch radical. Ultimately, two of these branch radicals combine (91). Commercially, the bulk polymerization of acryUc monomers is of limited importance. 

Figure 13 shows two pipe distributors, one in a branched and one in a ring configuration. These distributors minimize weeping, have good turndown, may requite the lowest pressure drop, and avoid the need for a plenum chamber. They are also well suited to multiple-level fluid injection. The disadvantages of these distributors are that there are defluidized soHds beneath the distributor and the mechanical design is more complex. 

Human blood plasma contains over 700 different proteins (qv) (1). Some of these are used in the treatment of illness and injury and form a set of pharmaceutical products that have become essential to modem medicine (Table 1). Preparation of these products is commonly referred to as blood plasma fractionation, an activity often regarded as a branch of medical technology, but which is actually a process industry engaged in the manufacture of speciaUst biopharmaceutical products derived from a natural biological feedstock (see Pharmaceuticals). 

The polymerization of ethyleneimine (16,354—357) is started by a catalyticaHy active reagent (H or a Lewis acid), which converts the ethyleneimine into a highly electrophilic initiator molecule. The initiator then reacts with nitrogen nucleophiles, such as the ethyleneimine monomer and the subsequendy formed oligomers, to produce a branched polymer, which contains primary, secondary, and tertiary nitrogen atoms in random ratios. Termination takes place by intramolecular macrocycle formation.
