Acidity estimating

The excess of unchanged acetic anhydride is then hydrolysed by the addition of water, and the total free acetic acid estimated by titration with standard NaOH solution. Simultaneously a control experiment is performed identical with the above except that the alcohol is omitted. The difference in the volumes of NaOH solution required in the two experiments is equivalent to the difference in the amount of acetic add formed, i.e., to the acetic acid used in the actual acetylation. If the molecular weight of the alcohol is known, the number of hydroxyl groups can then be calculated. 

C.HsNH, + CHjCO-O-COCHa = C.R NHCOCHs -h CHjCOOH then hydrolysed with water and the total free acetic acid estimated by titration with standard NaOH solution, the result being compared with that obtained in a control or blank experiment. 

These constants, K toK/, may be estimated by use of the Hammett equation. Estimation of 1 and K 4 involves application of the methods outlined in Section II, A, i.e., application of substituent constants for and N+H to the Hammett equation for the acid-base equilibria of benzoic acids. Estimation of A2 and involves application of the method used in Section III,A, i.e., the p-value for the basicity of substituted pyridines, with cr-values for COOH and COO . Provided the necessary a- and p-values are known, this procedure permits the calculation of four independent, or virtually independent, estimates of Krp. A check on the method is available from the relationships shown in Eq. (16) which is readily obtained by multiplication of Eq. (12) and (14) and of Eq. (13) and (15). 

Ascorbic acid, H2C6H606, also known as vitamin C, is present in many citrus fruits. It is a diprotic acid with the following values = 7.9 X 105 K = 1-6 X 10 12. What is the pH of a 0.63 M solution of ascorbic acid Estimate [HC6H606-] and [C4H6062-].

Exercise 26-40 Explain why p for ionization of benzoic acids is larger than p for phenylethanoic acids. Estimate a value ofp for the ionization of substituted 4-phenyl-butanoic acids. Why should we expect the value of p for alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl benzoates to be larger than for acid ionization and to have the same sign ... 

HO)2 CHCOOH (c). Berthelot and Matignon6 (see Kharasch1) measured the heat of combustion of glyoxylic acid. Estimating the Washburn2 correction to be —0.25 per cent, we have calculated the heat of combustion to be 125.2. 

Various workers have sought to simplify the verification of the total amino acid estimates by measuring some of the major amino acids and relating these values to the total.

Nitrobenzene is a precursor for aniline and is made by nitration of benzene. U.S. 4,772,757 (to Bayer) describes an improved process with recycle of the nitrating acid. Estimate the cost of production for a plant that produces 150,000 metric tons per year. 

Polylactic acid is a biodegradable polymer. It can be made from lactic acid, which can be produced by fermentation of glucose. Because it is biodegradable and can be manufactured from agricultural products, polylactic acid is potentially a renewable material. US 6,326,458 assigned to Cargill Inc. describes a process for making polylactic acid from lactic acid. Estimate the cost of production of the purified polymer. 

Malic acid (hydroxybutanedioic acid) is a chemical intermediate and is also used as a food flavor enhancer. It can be made by several routes. U.S. 5,210,295 (to Monsanto) describes a nonenzymatic process. U.S. 4,772,749 (to Degussa) describes recovery of malic acid from the product of enzymatic conversion of fumaric acid. U.S. 4,912,042 (to Eastman Kodak) describes an enzymatic separation process for separating the L- and D-isomers. U.S. 5,824,449 (to Ajinomoto Co.) describes a selective fermentation from maleic acid. Estimate the cost of production of D-malic acid by each process and determine which is cheapest.

In conclusion, the difference in mechanisms for the main oxidation route of 68a (DIM2 mechanism) and 68b, 68c (e-p-RRC-p mechanism with fast deprotonation of radical cations) can be easily understood, taking into account that halogenated radical cations 68b+ and 68c+ are much stronger acids than 68a+ due to inductive and mesomeric effects of halogen substituent, as revealed from the equilibrium acidity estimated in DMSO (Table 3). 

The biotransformation of salicylic acid to salicyluric acid in Rhesus monkey has also been reported by Wan et al. (13). The dose of salicylic acid given intravenously to the monkey is equivalent to a 625-mg, dose for a 70-kg. man. The terminal half life for the animal studied was 50 min. (Fig. 8), which is shorter than the 3-4-hr. average half-life in man. The clearance value for salicylic acid estimated from the area under the curve was 10 ml/min or 1.8 ml/min/kg, in marked contrast to the data obtained for benzoic acid in rabbits where clearance was found to be between 44 and 115 ml/min or 12.6-28.8 ml/min/kg. In a single intravenous study in the monkey, benzoic acid was found to have a plasma clearance of 140 ml/min or 38.1 ml/min/kg. Plasma clearance of salicylic acid in man, at a dose level of about 500 mg administered intravenously, was found to be in the range of 0.57 ml/min/kg body weight according to the data of Riegelman et at. (14). The fraction of the dose excreted as salicyluric acid in 16 hr. was found to be 72%.
