An adequate prediction of multicomponent vapor-liquid equilibria requires an accurate description of the phase equilibria for the binary systems. We have reduced a large body of binary data including a variety of systems containing, for example, alcohols, ethers, ketones, organic acids, water, and hydrocarbons with the UNIQUAC equation. Experience has shown it to do as well as any of the other common models. V7hen all types of mixtures are considered, including partially miscible systems, the... 

Refiners will turn to reformulated motor fuels where the octane number will be increased by alkylate or oxygenated compounds. It has indeed been shown for a long time that oxygenated compounds, alcohols, ethers and ketones Improved the octane number of hydrocarbon-based blends (Whitcomb, 1975).

Triiodobenzoates. The derivatives enumerated above are unsatisfactory for alcohol - ethers, e.g., the mono-ethers of ethyleneglycol ( cellosolves ) and the mono-ethers of diethyleneglycol ( car-bitols ) (see Table 111,27). Crystalline derivatives of alcohol - ethers are readily obtained with 3 4 5-triiodobenzoyl chloride (for preparation, see Section VII,21), for example ... 

Place 0 -5 g. of 3 4 5 triiodobenzoyl chloride in a small test-tube, add 0 -25 ml. of the alcohol - ether and heat the mixture gently over a micro burner until the evolution of hydrogen chloride ceases (3-5 minutes). Pour the molten mass into 10 ml. of 20 per cent, alcohol to which crushed ice has been added. Some derivatives solidify instantly those which separate as oils change to solids in a few minutes without further manipulation. Recrystallise from rectified spirit (use 50 per cent, alcohol for esters of methyl and butyl carbitol ). 

Dissolve 3-5 g. of aniline hydrochloride in 20 ml. of absolute ethyl alcohol contained in a 50 ml. conical flask, and add 0-5 ml. of a saturate solution of hydrogen chloride in absolute ethyl alcohol. Cool in ice and add 4 g. (4 -6 ml.) of iso-amyl nitrite (compare Section 111,53) gradually. Allow the mixture to stand for 5-10 minutes at the room temperature, and precipitate the diazonium salt by the gradual addition of ether. Filter ofiF the crystals at the pump on a small Buchner funnel, wash it with 5 ml. of alcohol - ether (1 1), and then with 10 ml. of ether. Keep... 

Allow a mixture of 0-5 g. of the tertiary amine and 0-5 ml. of colourless methyl iodide to stand for 5 minutes. If reaction has not occurred, warm under reflux for 5 minutes on a water bath and then cool in ice water. The mixture will generally set solid if it does not, scratch the sides of the tube with a glass rod. RecrystaUise the solid product from absolute alcohol, ethyl acetate, acetone, glacial acetic acid or alcohol-ether. 

It is an excellent reagent for the characterisation of alcohol-ethers (see Section 111,27). 

Indoleacetic acid In a 1-litre flask, fitted with a reflux condenser, place a solution of 35 2 g. of sodium cyanide in 70 ml. of water, then add 25 g. of gramine and 280 ml. of 95 per cent, ethanol. Reflux the mixture (steam bath) for 80 hours. Dilute the cooled reaction mixture with 35 ml. of water, shake with a little activated charcoal (e.g., Norit), filter and concentrate to about 350 ml. imder reduced pressure (water pump) in order to remove most of the alcohol. Cool to about 5°, filter off the solid and wash it with a little cold water keep the filtrate (A). Recrystallise the solid from alcohol-ether to give 5-0 g. of 3-indoleacetamide, m.p. 150-151°.

Physical Properties. Furfuryl alcohol (2-furanmethanol) [98-00-0] is aHquid, colorless, primary alcohol with a mild odor. On exposure to air, it gradually darkens in color. Furfuryl alcohol is completely miscible with water, alcohol, ether, acetone, and ethyl acetate, and most other organic solvents with the exception of paraffinic hydrocarbons. It is an exceUent, highly polar solvent, and dissolves many resins. 

Anhydrous FeF is prepared by the action of Hquid or gaseous hydrogen fluoride on anhydrous FeCl (see Iron compounds). FeF is insoluble in alcohol, ether, and ben2ene, and sparingly soluble in anhydrous HF and water. The pH of a saturated solution in water varies between 3.5 and 4.0. Low pH indicates the presence of residual amounts of HF. The light gray color of the material is attributed to iron oxide or free iron impurities in the product. 

Neopentyl glycol, or 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol [126-30-7] (1) is a white crystalline soHd at room temperature, soluble ia water, alcohols, ethers, ketones, and toluene but relatively iasoluble ia alkanes (1). Two primary hydroxyl groups are provided by the 1,3-diol stmcture, making this glycol highly reactive as a chemical intermediate. The gem-A methy configuration is responsible for the exceptional hydrolytic, thermal, and uv stabiUty of neopentyl glycol derivatives. 

The green hexagonal crystals sublime above 1000°C. Iron(III) fluoride is slightly soluble ia water, freely soluble ia dilute HF, and nearly iasoluble ia alcohol, ether, and benzene. It is used as a catalyst ia organic reactions. 

X 10 J/T (5.71 //g) at room temperature. It is air stable at 25°C, but is slowly converted to Fe202 and bromine at 310°C. The light yellow to brown hydroscopic sohd is soluble ia water, alcohol, ether, and acetonitrile. Iron(II) bromide forms adducts with a wide range of donor molecules. Pale green nona-, hexa-, tetra-, and dihydrate species can be crystallized from aqueous solutions at different temperatures. A hydrate of variable water content,... 

Iron(III) bromide [10031-26-2], FeBr, is obtained by reaction of iron or inon(II) bromide with bromine at 170—200°C. The material is purified by sublimation ia a bromine atmosphere. The stmcture of inoa(III) bromide is analogous to that of inon(III) chloride. FeBr is less stable thermally than FeCl, as would be expected from the observation that Br is a stronger reductant than CF. Dissociation to inon(II) bromide and bromine is complete at ca 200°C. The hygroscopic, dark red, rhombic crystals of inon(III) bromide are readily soluble ia water, alcohol, ether, and acetic acid and are slightly soluble ia Hquid ammonia. Several hydrated species and a large number of adducts are known. Solutions of inon(III) bromide decompose to inon(II) bromide and bromine on boiling. Iron(III) bromide is used as a catalyst for the bromination of aromatic compounds. 

C and melts at 173°C. It is iasoluble ia water but dissolves ia alcohols, ether, and benzene. Ferrocene can be prepared by numerous methods, including the reaction of cyclopentadienyl anion, with anhydrous FeCl2. Its extensive reaction chemistry is notable for the aromaticity of the... 

Liquid—Liquid Extraction. The tiquid—tiquid extraction process for the rare-earth separation was discovered by Fischer (14). Extraction of REE using an alcohol, ether, or ketone gives separation factors of up to 1.5. The selectivity of the distribution of two rare-earth elements, REI and RE2, between two nonmiscible tiquid phases is given by the ratio of the distribution coefficients DI and D2 ... 

Magnesium iodide is soluble in alcohols and many other organic solvents, and forms numerous addition compounds with alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, esters, and amines. One example is magnesium iodide dietherate [29964-67-8], Mgl2 prepared by gradual addition of iodine to a... 

Naphthalenol. 1-Naphthol, a-naphthol, or l-hydroxynaphthalene/P(9-/j5 -iJ forms colorless needles, mp 96°C, bp 288°C, which tend to become colored on exposure to air or light. It is almost insoluble in water, but readily soluble in alcohol, ether, and benzene. 1-Naphthol and 2-naphthol are found in coal tar (56). 

Cosurfactant requirements can be minimized usiag a surfactant having a short-branched hydrophobe or a branched-alkyl substituent on an aromatic group (232,234) and a long ethoxy group chain (234). Blends of surfactants optimized for seawater or reservoir brine salinity include linear alkyl xylene sulfonate—alcohol ether sulfate mixtures (235). 

Modem commercial wet-acid purification processes (see Fig. 4) are based on solvents such as C to Cg alcohols, ethers, ketones, amines, and phosphate esters (10—12). Organic-phase extraction of phosphoric acid is accompHshed in one or more extraction columns or, less frequently, in a series of countercurrent mixer—settlers. Generally, 60—75% of the feed acid P2 s content is extracted into the organic phase as H PO. The residual phosphoric acid phase (raffinate), containing 25—40% of the original P2O5 value, is typically used for fertilizer manufacture such as triple superphosphate. For this reason, wet-acid purification units are almost always located within or next to fertilizer complexes.
