Azoic acid

It is somewhat more difficult to see that the third nitrogen— hydrogen compound, azoic acid N3H, also has only complete octets. By the study of the solid azides, e.g. KN3, it has been shown that the...

The important compounds of nitrogen with hydrogen are ammonia, hydrazine, and hy dr azoic acid, the parent of the shock-sensitive azides. Phosphine forms neutral solutions in water reaction of nonmetal halides with water—hydrolysis—produces oxoacids but no change in oxidation number. 

A 2-azirine structure has been assigned to a by-product of Umi reactitai of acetic anhydride with the triazoledicarbo lic add obtained from the treatmenti of acetylenedicarboxylic acid with, hydi-azoic acid (Eq. 80). 

Hydrazoic Acid.—The third compound, which is the other one containing only nitrogen and hydrogen, is not an ammonia derivative. It is known as hydrazoic acid or tri-azoic acid. Its formula is N3H. It is a mono-basic acid while ammonia, NH3, is a base. It forms a salt with ammonia, NH4N3, ammonium hydrazoate. Hydrazoic acid was also discovered by Curtius in 1890. 

Lithiopyridine with cyclobutanone gives the alcohol ( 57 ). This when treated with azoic acid and sulphuric acid undergoes the. Schmidt reaction to afford the azide ( 58 ) which rearranges to myosmine ( 59 ). Reduction with sodium cyanoboro-hydride yields ( )-nornicotine and thence by N-methylation ( )-nicotine. Replacement of cyclobutanone by cyclopentanone allows the formation in turn of ( )-noranabastine and ( )-anabastine.

The most important reactions in this group are the Beckmann rearrangement, which converts oximes to amides a family of reactions that convert carboxylic add derivatives to amines with loss of the carbonyl carbon and the reaction of ketones with hy dr azoic acid to give amides (the Schmidt reaction).

Nitrite Nitrite is an important indicator of fecal pollution in natural waters as well as a potential precursor of carcinogenic species. A rush of flow and sequential injection spectrophotometric method based on Griess-type reactions has been proposed, also coupled to online sorbent enrichment schemes. The catalytic effect of nitrite on the oxidation of various organic species constitutes the basis of fairly sensitive spectrophotometric methods. Fluorometric methods based on the formation of aromatic azoic acid salts, quenching of Rhodamine 6G fluorescence, and direct reaction with substituted tetramine or naphthalene species have been also reported. Indirect CL methods usually involve conversion into nitric oxide and gas-phase detection as mentioned in the foregoing section. The redox reaction between nitrite and iodide in acidic media is the fundamental of a plethora of flow injection methodologies with spectrophotometric, CL, or biamperometric detection. New electrochemical sensors with chemically modified carbon paste electrodes containing ruthenium sites, or platinum electrodes with cellulose or naphthalene films, have recently attracted special attention for amperometric detection. 

Note on polyamide (PA) and wool dyes. PA fibres can be dyed with a wide range of dyes, but disperse azoic, acid 1 2 metal complex acid and reactive dyes are mainly used. 

The para-nitroanilinium ion is 3.60 p a units more acidic than the anilinium ion (pX a = 0.98 versus 4.58), but para-mtxoh azoic acid is only 0.76 p a unit more acidic than benzoic acid (p fa = 3.44 versus 4.20). Explain why the nitro substituent causes a large change in p a iu one case and a small change in the other. 

Sulfonic Acid-Based Dyestuffs. Sulfonic acid-derived dyes are utilized industrially in the areas of textiles (qv), paper, cosmetics (qv), foods, detergents, soaps, leather, and inks, both as reactive and disperse dyes. Of the principal classes of dyes, sulfonic acid derivatives find utiUty in the areas of acid, azoic, direct, disperse, and fiber-reactive dyes. In 1994, 120,930 t of synthetic dyes were manufactured in the United States, of which 5,600 t were acidic (74). The three largest manufacturers of sulfonic acid-based dyes for use in the United States are BASF, Bayer, and Ciba-Geigy. 

Naphthol AS Coupling Components. Naphthol AS components are the aryhdes of either o-hydroxyarylcarboxycHc acids or acylacetic acids. They are free of sulfo and carboxyl groups, but form salts with bases these salts dissolve in water to give colloidal solutions, which couple with diazo components to form colored pigments. The whole class derives from the anilide of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid [92-70-6] Naphthol AS (85) (Cl Azoic Coupling Component 2). 

Acetate fibers are dyed usually with disperse dyes specially synthesized for these fibers. They tend to have lower molecular size (low and medium energy dyes) and contain polar groups presumably to enhance the forces of attraction by hydrogen bonding with the numerous potential sites in the cellulose acetate polymer (see Fibers cellulose esters). Other dyes can be appHed to acetates such as acid dyes with selected solvents, and azoic or ingrain dyes can be apphed especially for black colorants. However thek use is very limited. 

Azoic Dyes. These are used to produce cost-effective heavy yellow, orange, red, maroon, navy blue, brown, and black shades and are ptinted alongside other dye classes to extend the coloristic possibiUties for the designer. Two approaches are adopted. The common method ia the United States is to use both a naphthol derivative and a stabilized color base, usually in the form of a diazo imino compound in the same print paste. This mixture is soluble in dilute caustic soda and no coupling takes place at this stage. The dried prints are passed through steam at 100—105°C that contains acetic and/or formic acid vapor. As neutralization takes place on the print, the coupling occurs rapidly and the insoluble azoic dye is formed. 

Azoic dyes contain the azo group (and formic acid, caustic soda, metallic compounds, and sodium nitrate) especially for application to cotton. 

Azoic dyeing of cellulosic fibres is a process that is used only to a small extent today. In this process, an azo pigment is formed by chemical reaction within the fibre. The cotton fibres are first impregnated with an appropriate coupling component such as the anilide of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, 156, under aqueous alkaline conditions. The fibre is then treated with a solution of a stabilised diazonium salt, in which the...

These are the only ranges of precursor products in the Colour Index that are still commercially significant. Azoic dyes have a close formal relationship to those monoazo pigments derived from BON acid or from acetoacetanilides (section 2.3.1) and some are chemically identical with them, although they are used in a totally different way. Azoic components are applied to produce insoluble azo dyes within the textile substrate, which is almost always cotton. Corresponding azoic components for the dyeing of cellulose acetate, triacetate and polyester fibres were once commercially important, but are now obsolete because of environmental hazards and the time-consuming application procedure. 

Heavy metals are widely used as catalysts in the manufacture of anthraquinonoid dyes. Mercury is used when sulphonating anthraquinones and copper when reacting arylamines with bromoanthraquinones. Much effort has been devoted to minimising the trace metal content of such colorants and in effluents from dyemaking plants. Metal salts are used as reactants in dye synthesis, particularly in the ranges of premetallised acid, direct or reactive dyes, which usually contain copper, chromium, nickel or cobalt. These structures are described in detail in Chapter 5, where the implications in terms of environmental problems are also discussed. Certain basic dyes and stabilised azoic diazo components (Fast Salts) are marketed in the form of tetrachlorozincate complex salts. The environmental impact of the heavy metal salts used in dye application processes is dealt with in Volume 2.
