Ammonia reaction with hydrogen

After apphcation to the fabric, the compounds are polymerized by reaction with gaseous ammonia (11,12), then oxidized to phosphine oxides by reaction with hydrogen peroxide. The stmcture of the polymer is shown (13). 

Cyanamidopyrimidine (15) was converted to the thioureido derivative 16 by reaction with hydrogen sulfide and ammonium hydroxide and then cyclrzed to 18 with hydrazine hydrate. Cyclization to 18 presumably took place by elimination of a molecule of ammonia from the aminoguanidine intermediate 17 (65JCS3357) (Scheme 11). 

Type 66 nylon is a polyamide first commercialized by DuPont just prior to World War II. At that time, the needed hexamethylenediamine was made from adipic acid by reaction with ammonia to adiponitrile followed by reaction with hydrogen. The adipic acid then, like now, was made from cyclohexane. The cyclohexane, however, was derived from benzene obtained from coal. The ammonia was made from nitrogen in the air by reaction with hydrogen from water obtained in the water-gas shift reaction with carbon monoxide from the coal. So, in the 1950s, nylon was honestly advertised by DuPont as being based on coal, air, and water. 

These profiles clearly show that in the gas phase the alkylations of both ammonia and water by o-QM are assisted by an additional water molecule H-bonded to o-QM (water-catalyzed mechanism), since S4 and S5 TSs are favored over their uncatalyzed counterparts (SI and S2) by 5.6 and4.0 kcal/mol [at the B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p) level], respectively. In contrast, the reaction with hydrogen sulfide in the gas phase shows a slight preference for a direct alkylation without water assistance (by 0.8 kcal/mol). 

Trimethylamine replaces PH3 quantitatively in BH3 PH3 to give BH3 N(CH3)3. Liquid or gaseous ammonia also replaces phosphine in the compound BH3 PH3 to the extent of 52-58% or up to 75%, respectively. The hydrogen atoms bonded to boron are partially, or completely, replaced by chlorine on treatment with hydrogen chloride, depending on the reaction conditions. The first stage of the reaction with hydrogen chloride is the formation of the colourless, viscous liquid BHjCl PH3 (see below). 

In pure water local explosions occur, but without propagation due to the abstraction of heat. With the ammonia solns the inhibition is probably due both to cooling and to reaction with hydrogen iodide which lowers the heat liberated during the reaction... 

The Brpnsted theory extends the concepts of acid and base beyond reactions in aqueous solution. For example, it describes the reaction of ammonia gas with hydrogen chloride gas to form solid ammonium chloride ... 

Natural gas or light hydrocarbons that serve as feed gas in the synthesis of ammonia contain sulfur compounds that act as poisons for the nickel catalyst used in synthesis gas production. Hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans are the dominant sulfur species in natural gas, while the light hydrocarbons may contain higher boiling sulfur species. A fixed-bed reactor containing zinc oxide is often used to desulfurize the feed gas. The chemical reaction with hydrogen sulfide is... 

PROBLEM 4.6 Write an equation for the reaction of ammonia ( NH3) with hydrogen chloride (HCI). Use curved arrows to track electron movement, and identify the acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base. 

The carbon-11 isotope formed in the accelerator reacts with traces of oxygen in the system and is initially recovered as C02, which is then converted by reaction with hydrogen into CH4. The latter is then reacted with ammonia to form H CN in ten minutes in yields of near 90% (equation 59). 

DL-Selenomethionine was initially synthesized by Painter" via a sodium/liquid ammonia reduction of DL-selenohomocystine followed by an alkylation of the resulting sodium selenohomocysteinate with methyl iodide. Other syntheses have since been reported including synthetic pathways for the preparation of optically active material" " and isotopically labeled material "" . DL-Selenomethionine has a solubility in water at 30° and pH 7 of 0.108 M which is considerably less than that for L-methionine (0.386 M). After seven hours of hydrolysis under anaerobic conditions in 6 N HCl at 110 °C selenomethionine is completely decomposed (under the same conditions 96% of methionine remains). Chemically, selenomethionine appears to be more reactive than methionine . For example, with cyanogen bromide, selenomethionine completely reacts in 0.1 M HCl in fifteen minutes while methionine requires twenty-four hours for the same reaction. In both cases the end product is homoserine. Although not as marked, this difference in reactivity was also confirmed in the reaction with hydrogen peroxide .
