Certain practical points concerning the use of these solvents are discussed after the description of the experimental method water and acetic acid are also included, although the former is rarely used in organic work, and the latter presents certain experimental difficulties which are also discussed later. 

At this temperature, and provided that the concentration of acetic acid in the acetic anhydride was small, the conversion of nitric acid into acetyl nitrate would have had a half-life of 7-10 min. The description of the experimental method makes it clear that the solutions used by Dewar in this work contained acetyl nitrate over the vast majority of the reaction. Therefore it must be supposed that in this... 

Expts. I, 3, 5, 7, 9, II. Descriptions of these experiments are not always explicit, but the reagent was prepared from fuming nitric acid (d 1-5, 0 009 mol) and acetic anhydride (o-oi mol) a small quantity of urea was added before nitration. 

All other things being equal, the strength of a weak acid increases if it is placed in a solvent that is more basic than water, whereas the strength of a weak base increases if it is placed in a solvent that is more acidic than water. In some cases, however, the opposite effect is observed. For example, the pKb for ammonia is 4.76 in water and 6.40 in the more acidic glacial acetic acid. In contradiction to our expectations, ammonia is a weaker base in the more acidic solvent. A full description of the solvent s effect on a weak acid s piQ or on the pKb of a weak base is beyond the scope of this text. You should be aware, however, that titrations that are not feasible in water may be feasible in a different solvent. 

The first anhydride plant in actual operation using methyl acetate carbonylation was at Kingsport, Tennessee (41). A general description has been given (42) indicating that about 900 tons of coal are processed daily in Texaco gasifiers. Carbon monoxide is used to make 227,000 t/yr of anhydride from 177,000 t/yr of methyl acetate 166,000 t/yr of methanol is generated. Infrared spectroscopy has been used to foUow the apparent reaction mechanism (43). 

Anhydrous Acetic Acid. In the manufacture of acetic acid by direct oxidation of a petroleum-based feedstock, solvent extraction has been used to separate acetic acid [64-19-7] from the aqueous reaction Hquor containing significant quantities of formic and propionic acids. Isoamyl acetate [123-92-2] is used as solvent to extract nearly all the acetic acid, and some water, from the aqueous feed (236). The extract is then dehydrated by azeotropic distillation using isoamyl acetate as water entrainer (see DISTILLATION, AZEOTROPIC AND EXTRACTIVE). It is claimed that the extraction step in this process affords substantial savings in plant capital investment and operating cost (see Acetic acid and derivatives). A detailed description of various extraction processes is available (237). 

Emulsion Polymerization. Poly(vinyl acetate)-based emulsion polymers are produced by the polymerization of an emulsified monomer through free-radicals generated by an initiator system. Descriptions of the technology may be found in several references (35—39). 

Poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) yields truly compatible blends with poly(vinyl acetate) up to 20% PEMA concentration (133). Synergistic improvement in material properties was observed. Poly(ethylene oxide) forms compatible homogeneous blends with poly(vinyl acetate) (134). The T of the blends and the crystaUizabiUty of the PEO depend on the composition. The miscibility window of poly(vinyl acetate) and its copolymers with alkyl acrylates can be broadened through the incorporation of acryUc acid as a third component (135). A description of compatible and incompatible blends of poly(vinyl acetate) and other copolymers has been compiled (136). Blends of poly(vinyl acetate) copolymers with urethanes can provide improved heat resistance to the product providing reduced creep rates in adhesives used for vinyl laminating (137). 

Solution Process. With the exception of fibrous triacetate, practically all cellulose acetate is manufactured by a solution process using sulfuric acid catalyst with acetic anhydride in an acetic acid solvent. An excellent description of this process is given (85). In the process (Fig. 8), cellulose (ca 400 kg) is treated with ca 1200 kg acetic anhydride in 1600 kg acetic acid solvent and 28—40 kg sulfuric acid (7—10% based on cellulose) as catalyst. During the exothermic reaction, the temperature is controlled at 40—45°C to minimize cellulose degradation. After the reaction solution becomes clear and fiber-free and the desired viscosity has been achieved, sufficient aqueous acetic acid (60—70% acid) is added to destroy the excess anhydride and provide 10—15% free water for hydrolysis. At this point, the sulfuric acid catalyst may be partially neutralized with calcium, magnesium, or sodium salts for better control of product molecular weight.

Terpinyl Acetate.—The acetic acid ester of terpipeol is also a natural ester. It nas a refreshing odour, and is often described as being a bergamot and lavender substitute. The writer, however, considers this description unjustifiable, and that it is really due to the fact that it is so often used and recommended as an adulterant for these two essential oils. Terpinyl acetate isia colourless oil, of the formula... 

The following description is taken from U.S. Patent 2,712,012 2.3 parts of clean sodium metal is dissolved in 50 parts of anhydrous methyl alcohol. 11.4 parts of 3-sulfanilamido-6-chloropyridazine is added and the mixture heated in a sealed tube 13 hours at 130° to 140°C. After the tube has cooled it is opened and the reaction mixture filtered, acidified with dilute acetic acid, then evaporated to dryness on the steam bath. The residue is dissolved in 80 parts of 5% sodium hydroxide, chilled and acidified with dilute acetic acid. The crude product is filtered and then recrystallized from water to give 3-sulfanilamido-6-methoxypyridazine of melting point 182° to 183°C. 

We complete the description of acetic acid by identifying the orbitals that contain the two lone pairs on the outer oxygen atom. The ffbond and the tt bond account for two valence 2 p orbitals of the oxygen atom. This leaves the third 2 p orbital and the 2. S orbital for the lone pairs. 

In the acetate anion, the two oxygen atoms are equivalent, so we expect that the orbital descriptions about each O atom should be identical. You can verily that they are, and experiments further verily this the two carbon-oxygen bond lengths in acetate are identical.

Now, this tentative description of the development of a correlation, later to become information from bases to the synthesis of proteins, by no means solves the problem of the origin of this code nor does it bring into focus the fact that the very proteins which were produced are responsible for the synthesis of the basic metabolic units, formaldehyde and acetic acid and then the amino acids and bases and finally the polymers by catalysts which are the polymers themselves. We do state, however, that the set of reactions quite probably give the most kinetically stable products. Now, the amounts of the different amino acids, lipids, saccharides... 

Flynn et al. described the synthesis of thiophene-containing analogs of CA-4, 7 [70]. The synthesis of compound 142 was performed using intermediate 96 (a description of the formation of this intermediate is given in Scheme 23). Aromatization of 96 with DDQ and acetate hydrolysis yielded the hydroxyl intermediate 143. Dilithiation of 143 and reaction with 3,4,5-...
