Ammonia to give

CH2C1 CH2C1. Colourless liquid with an odour like that of chloroform b.p. 84 C. It is an excellent solvent for fats and waxes. Was first known as oil of Dutch chemists . Manufactured by the vapour- or liquid-phase reaction of ethene and chlorine in the presence of a catalyst. It reacts with anhydrous ethano-ales to give ethylene glycol diethanoate and with ammonia to give elhylenediamine, these reactions being employed for the manufacture of these chemicals. It burns only with difficulty and is not decomposed by boiling water. 

The alkali metals have the interesting property of dissolving in some non-aqueous solvents, notably liquid ammonia, to give clear coloured solutions which are excellent reducing agents and are often used as such in organic chemistry. Sodium (for example) forms an intensely blue solution in liquid ammonia and here the outer (3s) electron of each sodium atom is believed to become associated with the solvent ammonia in some way, i.e. the system is Na (solvent) + e" (sohem). 

It is readily dehydrated on warming, to give the black oxide CuO. It dissolves in excess of concentrated alkali to form blue hydroxo-cuprate(II) ions, of variable composition it is therefore slightly amphoteric. If aqueous ammonia is used to precipitate the hydroxide, the latter dissolves in excess ammonia to give the deep blue ammino complexes, for example [Cu(NH3)4(H20)2] ... 

The oxide is soluble in ammonia to give the complex [AglNHjlj] (linear). On heating, silver(I) oxide loses oxygen to give the metal (all the coinage metal oxides have low thermal stability and this falls in the order Cu > Ag > Au). 

In its chemistry, cadmium exhibits exclusively the oxidation state + 2 in both ionic and covalent compounds. The hydroxide is soluble in acids to give cadmium(II) salts, and slightly soluble in concentrated alkali where hydroxocadmiates are probably formed it is therefore slightly amphoteric. It is also soluble in ammonia to give ammines, for example Of the halides, cadmium-... 

Sulphanilamide, the simplest member of a large series of bacteriostatic drugs, can readily be prepared by the following reactions. Acetanilide, when treated v ith an excess of chlorosulphonic acid, gives p-acetaniidobenzencsulphonyl chloride (Reaction A), w hich readily reacts with ammonia to give p-acetamido-benzenesulphonamide (Reaction H). The acetamido-group in the latter...

The ketone shown was prepared in a three step sequence from ethyl trifluoroacetate The first step in the sequence involved treating ethyl tnfluoroacetate with ammonia to give a compound A Compound A was in turn converted to the desired ketone by way of a compound B Fill in the missing reagents in the sequence shown and give the structures of compounds A and B... 

Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol reacts with ammonia to give a variety of nitrogen containing compounds depending on the conditions employed. Over a barium hydroxide-promoted skeletal nickel—aluminum catalyst, 2-tetrahydrofurfur5iarnine [4795-29-3] is produced (113—115). With paHadium on alumina catalyst in the vapor phase (250—300°C), pyridine [110-86-1] is the principal product (116—117) pyridine also is formed using Zn and Cr based catalysts (118,119). At low pressure and 200°C over a reduced nickel catalyst, piperidine is obtained in good yield (120,121). 

The carbonylation of methanol [67-56-1] to methyl formate ia the presence of basic catalysts has been practiced iadustriaHy for many years. Ia older processes for formic acid utili2ing this reactioa, the methyl formate [107-31-3] reacts with ammonia to give formamide [75-12-7] which is hydroly2ed to formic acid ia the preseace of sulfuric acid ... 

Naphthalenediol. This compound darkens rapidly in air. It can be made by fusion of the sultone of 8-hydroxy-1-naphthaIenesulfonic acid with 50 wt % sodium hydroxide at 200—230°C, or by the hydrolytic desulfonation of l,8-dihydroxy-4-naphthalenesulfonic acid. The diol also reacts with ammonia to give 1,8-naphthalenediamine. 

Pyrans and related compounds react with ammonia to give pyridines. A commercially useful example is the reaction of dehydroacetic acid (derived from diketene) with ammonia to give 2,6-dimethyl-4-pyridinone [7516-31 -6] via 2,6-dimethyl-4-pyridinone-3-carboxyhc acid [52403-25-5]. Chlorination of the pyridone gives clopidol [2971-90-6] (56), a coccidiostat (72,73). 

Butyl alcohol is employed as a feedstock in Japan to make methyl methacrylate monomer. In one such process (26), the alcohol is oxidized (in two steps) to acryHc acid, which is then esterified with methanol. In a similar process (27), /-butyl alcohol is oxidized in the presence of ammonia to give methacrylonitrile [126-98-7]. The latter is hydrolyzed to methacrjiamide [79-39-0] which then reacts with methanol to yield methyl methacrylate [80-62-6]. 

Carbon disulfide reacts with concentrated ammonia to give ammonium thiocyanate [1762-95-4] and ammonium trithiocarbonate [13453-08-2] in a reaction promoted by alumina catalysts ... 

There are few examples of [5 + 1] cyclizations from pyrimidine intermediates. Two of these involve the chloropropionic ester (194), which gives the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-7-one (195) with ammonia (59JCS1849), and the cyclization of a 4-ethynylpyrimidine-5-carboxylate with ammonia to give a pyrido[4,3-. In a recent patent, 5-ethoxycarbonylpyrimidin-4-yl-j8 -alanine derivatives are cyclized with ammonia to pipemidic acid analogues (80GEP2903850). One-carbon pyrimidine [5 +1] syntheses are included in Section 2.15.5.5.1 above. 

Alkyl-3-chloroisothiazolium chlorides (131) react with ammonia to give 3-alkyl-aminoisothiazoles (132) (80MI41700), but with amines give mixtures of isomeric isothiazolium salts (133 and 134 Scheme 20) (79JOC1118), compound (134) presumably being formed by a similar mechanism to compound (132). 2-Alkyl-3-chloro-l,2-benzisothiazolium salts...
