Benzene from cyclohexane

Sensitive methods for lead include a number based on ion-associates formed by the anionic iodide-lead complex and the basic dyes, such as Malachite Green (benzene, e = 8.0-10 ) (58,59], Brilliant Green (59], Ethyl Violet [59], fuchsin (formula 27.1) (extraction with benzene-cyclohexane from 0.2 M H2SO4, e = 2.0-10 at 560 nm [60], and cyanine dyes [61]. In the method involving the antipyiine dye Chrompyrazole I (formula 23.1), the pseudo-solution formed is stabilized with the non-ionic surfactant OP-10 [62]. 

For adsorption on Spheron 6 from benzene-cyclohexane solutions, the plot of N N2/noAN2 versus N2 (cyclohexane being component 2) has a slope of 2.3 and an intercept of 0.4. (a) Calculate K. (b) Taking the area per molecule to be 40 A, calculate the specific surface area of the spheron 6. (c) Plot the isotherm of composition change. Note Assume that is in millimoles per gram. 

Acridine (2,3-benzoquinoline) [260-94-6] M 179.2, m 111° (sublimes), b 346°, pK 5.58 (pK of excited state 10.65). Crystd twice from benzene/cyclohexane, or from aqueous EtOH, then sublimed, removing and discarding the first 25% of the sublimate. The remainder was again crystd and sublimed, discarding the first 10-15% [Wolf and Anderson 7Am Chem Soc 77 1608 7955]. 

Naphthol [90-15-3] M 144.2, m 95.5-96°, pK 9.34. Sublimed, then crystd from aqueous MeOH (charcoal), aq 25% or 50% EtOH, benzene, cyclohexane, heptane, CCI4 or boiling water. Dried over P2O5 under vacuum. [Shizuka et al. J Am Chem Soc 107 7816 7955 ]... 

A solution of crude (53) in 1.5 liters of absolute ethanol is treated with 350 ml of 40% aqueous NaOH solution and refluxed for 7 hr. This solution is then cooled in ice, treated with 650 ml of 12 N HCl and allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. The mixture is stirred and refluxed for 1.5 hr, cooled and filtered. The precipitate is washed well with ethanol and discarded. The filtrate and washings are concentrated under reduced pressure, poured into water and filtered. The filtrate is made alkaline with NaOH solution saturated with K2CO3 and filtered. The precipitate is washed well with water, dried under reduced pressure and sublimed at 165° (0.1 mm) The sublimate is recrystallized from benzene-cyclohexane to yield 7.65g of (54) mp 193-195°. 

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. 

Likewise it is possible to differentiate between substituted and unsubstituted alicycles using inclusion formation with 47 and 48 only the unbranched hydrocarbons are accommodated into the crystal lattices of 47 and 48 (e.g. separation of cyclohexane from methylcyclohexane, or of cyclopentane from methylcyclopentane). This holds also for cycloalkenes (cf. cyclohexene/methylcyclohexene), but not for benzene and its derivatives. Yet, in the latter case no arbitrary number of substituents (methyl groups) and nor any position of the attached substituents at the aromatic nucleus is tolerated on inclusion formation with 46, 47, and 48, dependent on the host molecule (Tables 7 and 8). This opens interesting separation procedures for analytical purposes, for instance the distinction between benzene and toluene or in the field of the isomeric xylenes. 

The isolation of benzene and cyclohexane from chlorobenzene and thiophenol, and cyclohexane from fluorobenzene, suggests the preferential reductive cleavage of the substituent prior to hydrogenation of the ring. However, fluorocyclohexane decomposes slowly to cyclohexene, which could give rise to the cyclohexane higher yields of fluorocyclohexane are obtained at lower temperatures. 

At temperatures well below UCST, solubilities of hydrocarbons in water or water in hydrocarbons drop to very low values. The solutions are very nearly ideal in the Henry s law sense, and the isotope effects on solubility can be directly interpreted as the isotope effect on the standard state partial molar free energy of transfer from the Raoult s law standard state to the Henry s law standard state. Good examples include the aqueous solutions of benzene, cyclohexane, toluene,... 

Another surface effect has been found in that liquids such as water, benzene, cyclohexane, etc., can displace gaseous oxygen from the surface... 

The excess molar enthalpies at 323 K and 1.3 MPa were measured in [64] for hydrocarbons (hex-l-ene, cyclohexane, benzene, and cyclohexene) in the [C2Cilm][Tf2Nj. The negative excess enthalpies were observed (-730 J mol at Xh = 0.63) only in the mixtures with benzene, expected from the discussion about the interactions in the solution. Much more data can be found in the two existing data banks [1,2] for example, in Dortmund Data Bank, 37 systems are accessible. 

The C6 rate coefficients were determined from benzene-cyclohexane and methycyclopentane-hexane feed data. 

Some of the metallic constituents were somewhat soluble in the propane-oil portion, but all tended to be concentrated in the asphaltic portion. Although vanadium (0.02% by weight in the original crude petroleum) was present in all fractions, the greater part was found in the cyclohexane and benzene fractions. From the similarity of the absorption spectra of the vanadium concentrates from petroleum and those of synthetic vanadium porphyrin complexes, Skinner arrived at the conclusion that vanadium compounds from the petroleum of the Santa Maria Valley Field in California exist as porphyrin complexes. Additional metallic constituents were detected by Skinner as these became concentrated in the various solvent fractions, including aluminum, titanium, calcium, and molybdenum. 

Fractional solidification and its applications to obtaining ultrapure chemical substances, has been treated in detail in Fractional Solidification by M.Zief and W.R.Wilcox eds, Edward Arnold Inc, London 1967, and Purification of Inorganic and Organic Materials by M.Zief, Marcel Dekker Inc, New York 1969. These monographs should be consulted for discussion of the basic principles of solid-liquid processes such as zone melting, progressive freezing and column crystallisation, laboratory apparatus and industrial scale equipment, and examples of applications. These include the removal of cyclohexane from benzene, and the purification of aromatic amines, dienes and naphthalene.
