Although the superoxide ion was also successful in destroying some aliphatic and aromatic halogenated hydrocarbons, resulting in the formation of barium carbonate, soluble halides, and water, it was unsuccessful in destroying nitroaromatic compounds, or aliphatic compounds having an amine or a nitrile group attached to them... 

Aliphatic and aromatic halogenated hydrocarbons are widely used as industrial reagents, cleaning agents and solvents. The toxicity of the individual substances is very varied, e.g. relative to trichloroethane (nominal toxicity = 1), trichloroethylene, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride have a toxicity of 8, 60 and 190, respectively. (s. tab. 30.3)... 

The relaxation times of ordinary organic molecules are close to a few picoseconds. Figure 1.7 gives relaxation frequency range for classical organic functions alkanes [33, 34], alcohols [35-39], alcohol ether [40], acid chlorides [41, 42], esters [43, 44], aliphatic [45-54] and aromatic halogens [55, 56], aliphatic [57, 58], aromatic ketones [59], nitriles [60], and aliphatic [61, 62] and aromatic amines [63]. 

Class I, represented by relatively unreactive chemicals with a nonspecific mode of action and they represent the base-line toxicity or nonpolar narcosis or simple narcosis (Bradbury et al., 2003 Hermens Verhaar, 1995). Narcosis is a reversible state of kept activity of protoplasmic structures, which is a result of exposure to the xenobiotic. Also the terms narcosis and general anaesthesia are used as equivalently in the circumstance of intact organisms. It presumed that, when the xenobiotic blood concentration is at equilibrium with the aqueous exposure concentration the aqueous concentrations of narcotic chemicals are proportional to the concentrations at the site of action (Bradbury et al., 2003). In the class I of chemicals we found aliphatic and aromatic (halogenated hydrocarbons) (Hermens Verhaar, 1995). 

Aliphatic mono-halides, and aromatic hydrocarbons with halogen in side-chain, precipitate silver hdide on treatment with cold aqueous silver nitrate solution. 

N-Benzylamides are recommended when the corresponding acid is liquid and/or water-soluble so that it cannot itself serve as a derivative. Phe benzylamides derived from the simple fatty acids or their esters are not altogether satisfactory (see Table below) those derived from most hydroxy-acids and from poly basic acids or their esters are formed in good yield and are easily purified. The esters of aromatic acids yield satisfactory derivatives but the method must compete with the equally simple process of hydrolysis and precipitation of the free acid, an obvious derivative when the acid is a solid. The procedure fails with esters of keto, sul phonic, inorganic and some halogenated aliphatic esters. 

The halogen carriers or aromatic halogenation catalysts are usually all electrophilic reagents (ferric and aluminium haUdes, etc.) and their function appears to be to increase the electrophilic activity of the halogen. Thus the mechanism for the bromination of benzene in the presence of iron can be repre-sfflited by the following scheme ... 

Concentrated sulphuric acid. The paraffin hydrocarbons, cych-paraffins, the less readily sulphonated aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, xylenes, etc.) and their halogen derivatives, and the diaryl ethers are generally insoluble in cold concentrated sulphuric acid. Unsaturated hydrocarbons, certain polyalkylated aromatic hydrocarbons (such as mesitylene) and most oxygen-containing compounds are soluble in the cold acid.

Reference methods for criteria (19) and hazardous (20) poUutants estabHshed by the US EPA include sulfur dioxide [7446-09-5] by the West-Gaeke method carbon monoxide [630-08-0] by nondispersive infrared analysis ozone [10028-15-6] and nitrogen dioxide [10102-44-0] by chemiluminescence (qv) and hydrocarbons by gas chromatography coupled with flame-ionization detection. Gas chromatography coupled with a suitable detector can also be used to measure ambient concentrations of vinyl chloride monomer [75-01-4], halogenated hydrocarbons and aromatics, and polyacrylonitrile [25014-41-9] (21-22) (see Chromatography Trace and residue analysis). 

Aqueous mineral acids react with BF to yield the hydrates of BF or the hydroxyfluoroboric acids, fluoroboric acid, or boric acid. Solution in aqueous alkali gives the soluble salts of the hydroxyfluoroboric acids, fluoroboric acids, or boric acid. Boron trifluoride, slightly soluble in many organic solvents including saturated hydrocarbons (qv), halogenated hydrocarbons, and aromatic compounds, easily polymerizes unsaturated compounds such as butylenes (qv), styrene (qv), or vinyl esters, as well as easily cleaved cycHc molecules such as tetrahydrofuran (see Furan derivatives). Other molecules containing electron-donating atoms such as O, S, N, P, etc, eg, alcohols, acids, amines, phosphines, and ethers, may dissolve BF to produce soluble adducts. 

Properties. As prepared, the polymer is not soluble in any known solvents below 200°C and has limited solubiUty in selected aromatics, halogenated aromatics, and heterocycHc Hquids above this temperature. The properties of Ryton staple fibers are in the range of most textile fibers and not in the range of the high tenacity or high modulus fibers such as the aramids. The density of the fiber is 1.37 g/cm which is about the same as polyester. However, its melting temperature of 285°C is intermediate between most common melt spun fibers (230—260°C) and Vectran thermotropic fiber (330°C). PPS fibers have a 7 of 83°C and a crystallinity of about 60%. 

Commercial cmde lecithin is a brown to light yeUow fatty substance with a Hquid to plastic consistency. Its density is 0.97 g/mL (Uquid) and 0.5 g/mL (granule). The color is dependent on its origin, process conditions, and whether it is unbleached, bleached, or filtered. Its consistency is deterrnined chiefly by its oil, free fatty acid, and moisture content. Properly refined lecithin has practically no odor and has a bland taste. It is soluble in aflphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, including the halogenated hydrocarbons however, it is only partially soluble in aflphatic alcohols (Table 5). Pure phosphatidylcholine is soluble in ethanol. 

Above 100°C, most polyolefins dissolve in various aHphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and their halogenated derivatives. For example, polybutene dissolves in benzene, toluene, decalin, tetralin, chloroform, and chlorobenzenes. As with other polyolefins, solubiHty of PB depends on temperature, molecular weight, and crystallinity. 

Usually best choice for desiccation of gases (<3% water) such as argon, helium, hydrogen, chlorine, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, air, and chemical classes such as aliphatics, aromatics, halogenated compounds, oxygenated compounds (siUca gel, zeoHtes, activated alumina all alternatives some regenerable, some not). 

The reaction is irreversible and can be used to synthesize aUphatic and aromatic esters. In addition, there are no complications involving water removal or azeotrope formation. Boron tribromide can be used ia place of boron trichloride, but the bromide has a stronger tendency to halogenate the alkyl group of the alcohol (26). Boron tritiuoride does not give the ester, but gives either a complex or dehydrated product. 

Commercial PCBs Toxic and Biochemical Effects. PCBs and related halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons ehcit a diverse spectmm of toxic and biochemical responses in laboratory animals dependent on a number of factors including age, sex, species, and strain of the test animal and the dosing regimen (single or multiple) (27—32). In Bobwhite and Japanese quad, the LC q dose for several different commercial PCB preparations ranged from 600 to 30,000 ppm in the diet the LC q values for mink that were fed Aroclors 1242 and 1254 were 8.6 and 6.7 ppm in the diet, respectively (8,28,33).
