Aniline, A’-

Repeat the boiling point determination with the following pure liquids (a) carbon tetrachloride, A.R. (77°) (6) ethylene dibromide (132°) or chlorobenzene (132°) (c) aniline, A.R. (184-6°) and (d) nitrobenzene, A.R. (211°). An air condenser should be used for (c) and (d). Correct the observed boiling points for any appreciable deviation from the normal pressure of 760 mm. Compare the observed boiling points with the values given in parentheses and construct a calibration curve for the thermometer. Compare the latter with the curve obtained from melting point determinations (Section 111,1). 

Aniline and mixed aniline point (DIN 51 775 modified). It is similar to the cloud point test except that the solvent is aniline, a very polar liquid. The aniline point is defined as the temperature at which a mixture of equal parts of aniline and the resin show the beginning of phase separation (i.e. the onset of clouding). Phase separation for aromatic resins occurs between I5°C and below zero for resins with intermediate aromaticity, it lies between 30 and 50°C and for non-aromatic resins, it is 50 to 100°C. Sometimes the mixed aniline point is used. It is similar to the aniline point except that the solvent is a mixture of one part of aniline and one part of w-heptane. The problem of both procedures is that precipitation of resins can be produced before the cloud is generated. 

Add two drops of acetyl chloride to a drop of aniline. A vigorous action occurs, and a solid separates. This is acetanilide, and may be obtained in larger crystals by dissolving in boiling water and cooling slowly. 

The first condensation is conducted selectively on a variety of 3-ketoesters and a-formylesters. The first step works well on most simple anilines even when sterically congested and is mostly affected by basicity. Formation of intermediate 3 is problematic when strong electron-withdrawing groups (EWG) are attached to the aniline (e.g., nitro). The cyclization step is promoted thermally in inert solvents as well as using acidic solvents at elevated temperature. When there exists an opportunity to form isomers on cyclization (e.g., m-substituted anilines) a mixture of the 5- and 7-substituted quinolines usually results. 

Secondary steric effects of the same kind have been found in the reaction of methyl derivatives of 22 with aniline. A methyl group at position 6 has a 4-fold rate-diminishing effect (mainly inductive), but when positions 4 and 6 are both methylated the effect is 81-fold and is mainly of steric origin.

Nitro functions are easily reductively alkylated and a number of alkylated anilines are made industrially starting with the appropriate nitroaromatic in the ketone as solvent. The addition reaction can occur at the hydroxylamine intermediate as well as the aniline. A process step is saved by beginning with the nitro compound. 

This result reveals that exciplex formation plays a principal role in the initiation of polymerization. Since the absorption band is broadened toward longer wavelengths as the result of formation of CTC between AN and aniline, a certain concentration of aniline can be chosen so that 365-nm light is absorbed only by the CTC but not by the aniline molecule. Therefore, in this case the photopolymerization may be ascribed to the CTC excitation selected. For example, a 5 x 10 mol/L aniline solution in AN could absorb light of 365 nm, while solutions in DMF or cyclohexane with the same concentration will show no absorption. Obviously, in this case the polymerization of AN is caused by CTC excitation. The rates of polymerization for different amines were found to be in the following order (Table 12) ... 

The well-known photopolymerization of acrylic monomers usually involves a charge transfer system with carbonyl compound as an acceptor and aliphatic tertiary amine, triethylamine (TEA), as a donor. Instead of tertiary amine such as TEA or DMT, Li et al. [89] investigated the photopolymerization of AN in the presence of benzophenone (BP) and aniline (A) or N-methylaniline (NMA) and found that the BP-A or BP-NMA system will give a higher rate of polymerization than that of the well-known system BP-TEA. Still, we know that secondary aromatic amine would be deprotonated of the H-atom mostly on the N-atom so we proposed the mechanism as follows ... 

In the former Soviet Union much use is made of industrial by-products to prepare acid inhibitors. The PB class is obtained by treating technical butyraldehyde with ammonia and polymerising the resulting aldehyde-ammonia. PB-5, for example, with O-Ol-O-15% of an arsenic salt is used in 20-25% HCl. A mixture of urotropine (hexamethyleneimine, hexamine) with potassium iodide, a regulator and a foaming agent is the ChM inhibitor. BA-6 is prepared from the condensation product of hexamine with aniline. A more recent development is the Katapin series which consists of /7-alkyl benzyl pyridine chlorides Katapin A, for example, is the /7-dodecyl compound. 

In the first instance, acidity influences the acid-base equilibria of the reactants. The amine is a Bronsted base. Aniline, a typical substrate, has pKa = 4.6, which means that the protonation shown in Scheme 3-11 is almost complete under normal conditions of diazotization (pH < 1). The base is definitely a much better reagent than the anilinium ion for nitrosation because the latter is an electrophilic substitution. One expects — simply on the basis of the equilibrium shown in Scheme 3-11 — that the rate of diazotization should decrease linearly with increasing acid concentration or, at higher acidities, with the Hammett acidity function h0 (for acidity functions see Rochester, 1970 Cox and Yates, 1983).

Resonance effects are also important in aromatic amines. m-Nitroaniline is a weaker base than aniline, a fact that can be accounted for by the —7 effect of the nitro group. But p-nitroaniline is weaker still, though the —I effect should be less because of the greater distance. We can explain this result by taking into account the canonical form A. Because A contributes to the resonance hybrid, " the electron density of the unshared pair is lower in p-nitroaniline than in m-nitroaniline, where a canonical form such as Ais impossible. The basicity is lower in the para compound for two reasons, both... 

In the production of aniline by the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene, the reactor products are separated from unreacted hydrogen in a condenser. The condensate, which is mainly water and aniline, together with a small amount of unreacted nitrobenzene and cyclo-hexylamine, is fed to a decanter to separate the water and aniline. The separation will not be complete, as aniline is slightly soluble in water, and water in aniline. A typical material balance for the decanter is given below ... 

Abstract Hazardous effects of various amines, produced in the environment from the partial degradation of azo dyes and amino acids, adversely affect the quality of human life through water, soil and air pollution and therefore needed to be degraded. A number of such studies are already available in the literature, with or without the use of ultrasound, which have been summarized briefly. The sono-chemical degradation of amines and in the combination with a photocatalyst, TiC>2 has also been discussed. Similar such degradation studies for ethylamine (EA), aniline (A), diphenylamine (DPA) and naphthylamine (NA) in the presence of ultrasound, Ti02 and rare earths (REs) La, Pr, Nd, Sm and Gd, in aqueous solutions at 20 kHz and 250 W power have been carried out and reported, to examine the combinatorial efficacy of ultrasound in the presence of a photocatalyst and rare earth ions with reactive f-electrons. 

A liquid-phase substitution reaction between aniline (A) and 2-chloroquinoxaline (B), A + B - products, is conducted in an isothermal, isobaric PFR. The reaction is first-order with respect to each reactant, with kA = 4.0 10-5 Lmol-1 s 1 at 25°C (Patel, 1992). Determine... 

Bindschedler s Green (6.204) can be made by condensing p-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline with N,N- dimethyl aniline. A similar condensation with 2-naphthol gives Meldola s Blue (6.209 Cl Basic Blue 6), the first oxazine dye, discovered in 1879. The symmetrical Cl Basic Blue 3 (6.210) is of more commercial significance. It is synthesised by nitrosation of N,N-diethybrn-anisidine followed by condensation with N,N-diethybm-aminophenol, and is used for dyeing acrylic fibres. This dye is now classified by ETAD as toxic [73].

A summary of aniline N-methylation mechanistic features on Cui xZnxFe204 ferrospinel catalysts is given in Figure 27. It was possible, due to in-situ IR studies, to observe a dissociative adsorption and possible orientation of reactants on the catalyst surface, their conversion to product at low temperatures, and desorption-limited kinetics, all under conditions that are close to the reaction conditions. Although Cu is the active center for the aniline A-methylation reaction, and IR studies reveal that Zn acts as the main methyl species source. 

This effect is increased if there is a suitable electron-withdrawing group in the ortho or para position on the aromatic ring. Thus, p-nitroaniline and o-nitroaniline have pATa 1-0 and —0.3 respectively. These aromatic amines are thus even weaker bases than aniline, a result of improved delocalization in the free base. The increased basicity of the ortho isomer is a result of the very close inductive effect of the nitro group the meta isomer has only the inductive effect, and its is about 2.5.
