Under batch conditions, methylations with DMC must necessarily be run in sealed autoclaves, given its boiling point (90°C) and the reaction temperature (>160°C). Batch methylations with DMC can be performed on a number of different substrates and, under such conditions, the reaction mechanism can be conveniently investigated in fact, the sampling of the reaction mixture at different conversions, and the identihcation of possible intermediates (see later) is easier with respect to CF-processes. For compounds that are susceptible to multiple methylation, the results are of special interest, since methylation with DMC totally inhibits multiple substimtion in both N- and C-alkylation, for primary aromatic amines and for CH2-active compounds, respectively. 

Another common solvent that contains the oxygen atom easily available for coordination with metal cations is THE. The ability of anion-radicals to remove a proton from the position 2 of THE is sometimes a problem. Dimethyl ether is more stable as a solvent its oxygen atom is also exposed and can coordinate with a metal cation with no steric hindrance from the framing alkyl groups. An added advantage of dimethyl ether is that, because of its low boiling point (-22°C), it can be readily removed after reductive metallation and replaced by the desired solvent. The use of aromatic anion-radicals in dimethyl ether (instead of THE) is well documented (Cohen et al. 2001, references therein). 

Aromatic isocyanides can also be prepared conveniently by the dehydration of the corresponding formamides by phosphorus oxychloride, but much better results are obtained if the reaction is done in the presence of potassium fer/-butoxide rather than pyridine.6 Neither method of dehydrating formamides has yet been used to prepare methyl or ethyl isocyanide because their low boiling points make them difficult to isolate from the reaction mixture hence, until a suitable dehydration procedure is worked out, they are best made by reaction of the corresponding alkyl iodide with silver cyanide. ... 

Borazine is isoelectronic with benzene, as B=N is with C=C, (Fig. 16.21). in physical properties, borazine is indeed a close analogue of benzene. The similarity of the physical properties of the alkyl-substituted derivatives of benzene and borazine is ever more remarkable. For example, the ratio of the absolute boiling points of the substituted borazines to those of similarly substituted benzene is constant. This similarity in physical properties led to a labeling of borazine as "inorganic benzene." This is a misnomer because tbe chemical properties of borazine and benzene are quite different Both compounds have aromatic rr clouds of electron density with potential for delocalization over all of the ring atoms. Due to the difference m electronegativity between boron and nitrogen, the cloud in borazine is "lumpy" because more electron... 

Upon completion of the reaction the reaction mixture was treated with a diluent which is a nonsolvent for PVC. Suitable diluents included aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane, or benzene or compounds containing an active hydrogen atom such as acetic acid or a lower alkanol such as methanol or ethanol. Methanol was the preferred diluent by virtue of its miscibility with the preferred reaction medium (chlorobenzene), its ability to react readily with and deactivate an aluminum alkyl or alkylaluminum halide, and its low boiling point and water solubility. 

There will also be a small but real increase in the molecular weight of the alkylated aromatic solvent components which result in an increase in the boiling points of these components. 

These alkyl aromatics can then further condense and dimerize to produce products of higher boiling point as discussed above. 

Other examples of aromatic normal alkyls are the tetra-m-tolyl (m.p 151°)32 and the tetra-p-tolyl (m.p. 228°).33 Silicon tetra-benzyl34 more properly is grouped as an aliphatic compound, but it closely resembles silicon tetraphenyl in that it is a very stable substance of high melting point and exceedingly high boiling point (550°). 

A carboxyl group is removed from a heterocyclic nucleus in much the same way as from an aromatic nucleus (method 13), i.e., by thermal decomposition. The pyrolysis is catalyzed by copper or copper salts and is frequently carried out in quinoline solution. The reaction is important in the synthesis of various alkyl and halo furans. Furoic acid loses carbon dioxide at its boiling point (205°) to give furan (85%). A series of halo furans have been made in 20-97% yields by pyrolysis of the corresponding halofuroic acids. The 5-iodo acid decarboxylates at a temperature of 140°, whereas the 3- and 5-chloro acids requite copper-bronze catalyst at 250°. ... 

The lower members of the series of add-esters are colourless liquids with pleasant, fruit-like odours the higher members, as well as those of the aromatic adds, are crystallisable compounds. The boiling-points of esters containing alkyl residues of small molecular weights (CHj, C2H C3Hr) are lower than those of the corresponding adds the entrance of more complex alkyl residues raises the boiling-points ...
