Aluminum mercury hydrogen chloride

A 1-1. three-necked round-bottomed flask is fitted with a dropping funnel, a reflux condenser attached to a hydrogen chloride absorption trap, and a very sturdy mechanical stirrer (Note 1), which may be of the mercury-sealed or rubber-sleeve tjtpe. In the flask are placed 350 ml. of dry carbon disulfide and 80 g. (0.48 mole) of fluorene (Note 2). The stirrer is started, and, after the fluorene has dissolved, 128 g. (0.96 mole) of anhydrous aluminum chloride is added in one portion. In the dropping funnel is placed 49.4 g. (0.48 mole) of redistilled acetic anhydride, and about 1 ml. of it is added dropwise to the vigorously stirred dark red reaction mixture. If the reaction does not start immediately it is initiated by warming the reaction flask in a water bath (Note 3). After the reaction has started, the balance of the acetic anhydride is added at such a rate that the carbon disulfide refluxes gently about 45-55 minutes is required. When approximately one-half of the acetic anhydride has been added an addition complex sepa-... 

ETHANE HEXACHLORIDE (67-72-1) CjClj Noncombustible solid. Contact with aluminum, cadmium, mercury, hot iron, alkalis, alkali metals forms chloroacetylene gas which is spontaneously explosive in air. Rapidly elevated temperatures may cause ignition or explosion. Liquid attacks some plastics, rubber, and coatings. Decomposes above 367°F/186°C, releasing carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride and phosgene. On small fires, use dry chemical powder (such as Purple-K-Powder), foam, or COj extinguishers. A known animal carcinogen. 

MERCURIC SULFATE (7783-35-9) HgS04 Noncombustible solid. Reacts with water, forming an insoluble mercury and sulfuric acid. Light may cause slow decomposition. Incompatible with aluminum, ammonia, hydrozoic acid, magnesium, methyl isocyanoacetate, sodium acetylide, sodium peroxyborate, red phosphorus, trinitrobenzoic acid, urea nitrate, powdered zirconium. Reacts violently with gaseous hydrogen chloride above 250°F/121 C. Attacks metals in the presence of moisture. On small fires, use dry chemical powder (such as Purple-K-Powder), water spray, or COj extinguishers. 

AMMONIATED MERCURY (10124-48-8) Reacts violently with halogens barium, chlorine, fluorine, and metal salts of amines. Contact with acids or acid fumes causes decomposition, producing hydrogen chloride fumes. Incompatible with organic anhydrides, acrylates, alcohols, aldehydes, alkylene oxides, substituted allyls, cresols, caprolactam solution, epichlorohydrin, ethylene dichloride, glycols, isocyanates, ketones, maleic anhydride, nitrates, nitromethane, phenols, vinyl acetate. May corrode aluminum, copper, zinc, and some stainless steel in the presence of moisture. 

AMMONIUM SULFITE (10196-04-0) Aqueous solution is a base and evolves hydrogen sulfide or ammonia, depending on pH. Reacts with acids, forming hydrogen sulfide reacts with bases, forming ammonia. Incompatible with lead diacetate, mercury(I) chloride. Attacks aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, tin, zinc in the presence of moisture. 

Xylenol/sulfur monochloride resin was prepared by adding sulfur monochloride (26.2 g, 0.194 mole) in toluene (50 ml) to 2,3-xylenol (24.2 g, 0.194 mole) in toluene (250 ml). Hydrogen chloride (13.3 g) was evolved. On removal of solvent at 30°C/15 mm mercury, a yellow resin (36 g) was obtained. The resin (9 g) was added to sulfur (27 g) at 125° C and stirred for 10 minutes until a homogeneous mixture was obtained. The mixture was then poured on to an aluminum foil plate and allowed to cool.
