With aldehydes, primary alcohols readily form acetals, RCH(OR )2. Acetone also forms acetals (often called ketals), (CH2)2C(OR)2, in an exothermic reaction, but the equiUbrium concentration is small at ambient temperature. However, the methyl acetal of acetone, 2,2-dimethoxypropane [77-76-9] was once made commercially by reaction with methanol at low temperature for use as a gasoline additive (5). Isopropenyl methyl ether [116-11-OJ, useful as a hydroxyl blocking agent in urethane and epoxy polymer chemistry (6), is obtained in good yield by thermal pyrolysis of 2,2-dimethoxypropane. With other primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, the equiUbrium is progressively less favorable to the formation of ketals, in that order. However, acetals of acetone with other primary and secondary alcohols, and of other ketones, can be made from 2,2-dimethoxypropane by transacetalation procedures (7,8). Because they hydroly2e extensively, ketals of primary and especially secondary alcohols are effective water scavengers. 

The biosynthesis process, which consists essentially of radical coupling reactions, sometimes followed by the addition of water, of primary, secondary, and phenohc hydroxyl groups to quinonemethide intermediates, leads to the formation of a three-dimensional polymer which lacks the regular and ordered repeating units found in other natural polymers such as cellulose and proteins. 

To analy2e fatty amines, both wet and instmmental methods of analysis are used. Wet methods routinely used are total amine value (ASTM Method D2073) combining weight or neutralization equivalent primary, secondary, and tertiary amine content (ASTM Method D2083) moisture, Kad-Fischer (ASTM Method D2072) and iodine value, measure of unsaturation (ASTM Method D2075). These provide important information on physical and chemical characteristics of the amine products used in various appHcation areas (8,76,81). In addition to the ASTM methods available, the American Oil Chemists Society has developed methods of analysis for fatty amines (82). 

The majority of U(V1) coordination chemistry has been explored with the trans-ddo s.o uranyl cation, UO " 2- The simplest complexes are ammonia adducts, of importance because of the ease of their synthesis and their versatihty as starting materials for other complexes. In addition to ammonia, many of the ligand types mentioned ia the iatroduction have been complexed with U(V1) and usually have coordination numbers of either 6 or 8. As a result of these coordination environments a majority of the complexes have an octahedral or hexagonal bipyramidal coordination environment. Examples iuclude U02X2L (X = hahde, OR, NO3, RCO2, L = NH3, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, py n = 2-4), U02(N03)2L (L = en, diamiaobenzene n = 1, 2). The use of thiocyanates has lead to the isolation of typically 6 or 8 coordinate neutral and anionic species, ie, [U02(NCS)J j)/H20 (x = 2-5). 

High molecular weight primary, secondary, and tertiary amines can be employed as extractants for zirconium and hafnium in hydrochloric acid (49—51). With similar aqueous-phase conditions, the selectivity is in the order tertiary > secondary > primary amines. The addition of small amounts of nitric acid increases the separation of zirconium and hafnium but decreases the zirconium yield. Good extraction of zirconium and hafnium from ca 1 Af sulfuric acid has been effected with tertiary amines (52—54), with separation factors of 10 or more. A system of this type, using trioctylarnine in kerosene as the organic solvent, is used by Nippon Mining of Japan in the production of zirconium (55). 

Thus if combustion can be effected in two stages, with or without the intermediate heat rejection for thermal NO control discussed above, the conversion of fuel N to NO can be largely ckcumvented by first, a primary stage at 0 = 1.5-2 with a modest residence time to allow formation of N2 in the hot primary products, followed by rapid addition of secondary ak to complete the combustion at an effective [Pg.529]

Catalytic hydrogenation of the nitrile function of cyanohydrins can give amines. As in the case of ordinary nitriles, catalytic reduction of cyanohydrins can yield a mixture of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. Addition of acid or acetic anhydride to the reaction medium minimizes formation of secondary or tertiary amines through formation of the amine salt or acetamide derivative of the primary amine. 

Where effluents require primary, secondary and possibly additional tertiary treatment, attention should be paid to the various treatment processes with regard to personnel safety and public sensitivity to on-site treatment. 

The mechanism of the alkoxymercuration reaction is similar to that described in Section 7.4 for hvdroxymercuration. The reaction is initiated by electrophilic addition of Iig2+ to the alkene, followed by reaction of the intermediate cation with alcohol and reduction of the C-Hg bond by NaBH4. A variety of alcohols and alkenes can be used in the alkoxymercuration reaction. Primary, secondary, and even tertiary alcohols react well, but ditertiary ethers can t be prepared because of steric hindrance to reaction. 

However, the situation is not as clear-cut as it might at first seem since a variety of other factors may also contribute to the above-mentioned trend. Abuin et a/.141 pointed out that the transition state for addition is sterically more demanding than that for hydrogen-atom abstraction. Within a given series (alkyl or alkoxy), the more nucleophilic radicals are generally the more bulky (i.e. steric factors favor the same trends). It can also be seen from Tabic 1.6 that, for alkyl radicals, the values of D decrease in the series primary>secondary>tertiary (i.e. relative bond strengths favor the same trend). 

The reactions of the radicals (whether primary, secondary, solvent-derived, etc.) with monomer may not be entirely regio- or ehemoseleetive. Reactions, such as head addition, abstraction or aromatic substitution, often compete with tail... 

The reaction of naphthols with ammonia and sodium bisulfite is called the Bucherer reaction. Primary amines can be used instead of ammonia, in which case N-substituted naphthylamines are obtained. In addition, primary naphthylamines can be converted to secondary, by a transamination reaction ... 

Inputs from WWTP effluents can also affect the hydrologic and nutrient concentration regimes of recipient streams at different temporal scales. Daily variations of these parameters may be exacerbated in streams below the WWTP input by the diel patterns of the effluent discharge associated with plant operation [46]. In contrast, at the annual scale, seasonal variations of physical and chemical parameters upstream of the WWTP may be dampened by the constant input of additional water and nutrients from the WWTP. At its extreme, naturally intermittent or ephemeral streams may turn into permanent streams downstream of WWTPs [28, 30]. In these effluent-dominated streams, the relative contribution of WWTP inputs may vary widely on an annual basis, as shown by the 3-100% range measured in a Mediterranean stream [47]. Finally, WWTP inputs also cause shifts in the relative availability of N and P as well as in the relative importance of reduced and oxidized forms of N in the stream [30, 47]. The magnitude of these shifts depends on the level of wastewater treatment (i.e., primary, secondary, or tertiary treatment), the type of WWTP infrastructure (e.g., activated sludge reactor. 

The hydroaminations of electron-deficient alkenes with aniline or small primary alkylamines proceed at high conversions (85-95%, nnder mild conditions, 5 mol%, rt), giving exclnsively the anh-Markovnikov addition product. Secondary dialkyl or bnlky primary amines require longer reaction times. With amines containing P-hydrogens, no imine side-products were observed. 

AIBN-promoted addition of PH3 to ethyl acrylate (70 °C, 25 atm of PH3) was reported to give a mixture of hydrophosphination products, including primary, secondary, and tertiary phosphines in ca. 1 1 1 ratio (Scheme 5-10, Eq. 1) [4c]. 

These reactions exhibit excellent diastereoselectivity derived from the chiral oxazo-lidinone auxiliary. The Lewis acid forms a chelate with the oxazoline and presumably also serves to enhance reactivity. In addition to ethyl, other primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals, as well as acetyl and benzoyl radicals were used successfully in analogous reactions. 

C(C=0)C1 group to the precise structure (primary, secondary or tertiary) of the alkyl groups to which it is linked. However, our subsequent work with NO showed that its products are also sensitive to the alkyl structure yet in addition NO reacts with oxidized polymers to give distinctly different products from alcohol and hydroperoxide groups (see below). Consequently the COCl2 products were not explored further. 

The affinity of [Au(CN)2] for primary, secondary, and tertiary amines is very low at pH values typical for cyanide feed solutions, but in 1983 Mooiman et al. showed that the addition of solvating phosphorus(V) oxides enhanced extraction at higher pH.335,336 During the course of this work it was discovered that TBP and DBBP (see Table 6) could themselves extract gold.337 This led to subsequent investigations on phosphates and phosphorus oxides.333...
