Bromine absorption

Fig. 5-3. The spectrum, recorded photographically, from a tungsten tube. The silver and bromine absorption edges due to the selective absorption by the chemicals in the film are clearly shown.

Fig. 5—6. Geiger-counter output currents recorded by Dow automatic x-ray absorption spectrometer. Superposed records on left are x-ray absorptiometric curves for iso-octane and a solution containing ethylene dibromide, whereas traces at right illustrate recording of transmitted intensities at fixed wavelengths. Apparent change in x-ray absorption of solvent in going through bromine absorption edge is result of marked slope of white radiation distribution curve at 0.9 A. 16 (Liebhafsky, Anal. Chem., 21, 17.

The effect of increased x-ray absorption on sensitivity was explored by conducting monochromatic exposures of a bromine-containing resist, poly(N-allyl maleimide-vinyl benzyl bromide), at photon energies which bracket the bromine absorption edges between 1.6 and 1.8 keV contrast curves obtained for these monochromatic exposures are shown in Figure 7. The results are also plotted as l/D "5 vs absorption coefficient in Figure 8 the data accurately follow the predicted inverse relationship defined by Equation 1. 

Part of the reduced FeBr2 solution is returned for bromine absorption and dechlorination of the bromine airflow. The rest of this solution is used for producing elemental bromine and different bromine compounds. 

Salicylic acid may also be estimated by its bromine absorption (Kolthoff2). 

For the less unsaturated oils larger amounts are needed, and then it is advisable to use a larger plate, with a similar one for a counterpoise. The iodine value is obtained by the factor 1 588 and was shown to agree closely with the iodine value obtained by Wijs method, except for notable differences unassociated with oils of pharmaceutical use, other than castor oil, which gave a lower bromine absorption, probably owing to the presence of ricinoleic acid. The appearance of the film after absorption is in many cases characteristic of the particular oil. 

Bromine. Slip slightly to one side the glass plate covering one jar of ethylene, add 2-3 ml. of bromine water (preparation, p. 525), restore the glass plate in position, and then shake the jar vigorously. The colour of the bromine rapidly disappears as 1,2-dibromoethanc is formed. Note that owing to the absorption... 

The bromine test is applied first. The organic compound, if a liquid, is treated with 2-3 drops of liquid bromine or (preferably) a solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride if the organic compound is a solid, it should first be dissolved in cold carbon tetrachloride or chloroform. The rapid absorption of the bromine (and consequent disappearance of the red colour) is a strong indication that the compound is unsaturated, and is therefore undergoing direct addition of the bromine. 

Bromine. Slip the glass cover of a jar momentarily aside, add 2-3 ml. of bromine water, replace the cover and shake the contents of the jar vigorously. Note that the bromine is absorbed only very slowly, in marked contrast to the rapid absorption by ethylene. This slow reaction with bromine water is also in marked contrast to the action of chlorine water, which unites with acetylene with explosive violence. (Therefore do not attempt this test with chlorine or chlorine water.)... 

I he methyl iodide is transferred quantitatively (by means of a stream of a carrier gas such as carbon dioxide) to an absorption vessel where it either reacts with alcoholic silver nitrate solution and is finally estimated gravimetrically as Agl, or it is absorbed in an acetic acid solution containing bromine. In the latter case, iodine monobromide is first formed, further oxidation yielding iodic acid, which on subsequent treatment with acid KI solution liberates iodine which is finally estimated with thiosulphate (c/. p. 501). The advantage of this latter method is that six times the original quantity of iodine is finally liberated. 

Place 50 g. (57 ml.) of dry A.R. benzene and 0 5 ml. of dry p rridine (1) (dried over potassium hydroxide pellets) in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask. Attach a reflux condenser to the flask and an inverted funnel (just dipping into some water in a beaker) to the top of the condenser (Fig. II, 13, 8, b). Partially immerse the flask in a bath of cold water, supported upon a tripod and gauze. Carefully pour 125 g, (40 ml.) of bromine (for precautions to be taken with bromine, see Section 111,35, Note 1) through a condenser and immediately insert the absorption device into the upper end of the condenser. A vigorous reaction soon occurs and hydrogen bromide is evolved which is absorbed by the water in the beaker when the reaction slackens, warm the bath to 25-30° for... 

Equip a 1 litre bolt-head flask with dropi)ing fuuncl and a double surface reflux condenser to the top of the latter attach a device (e.g.. Fig. II, 8, 1. c) for the absorption of the hydrogen bromide evolved. Place 100 g. (108 ml.) of dry iso-valeric acid (Section 111,80) and 12 g. of pmified red phosphorus (Section 11,50,5) in the flask. Add 255 g. (82 ml.) of dry bromine (Section 11,49,5) slowly through the dropping funnel at such a rate that little or no bromine is lost with the hydrogen bromide evolved the addition occupies 2-3 hours. Warm the reaction mixture on a water bath until the evolution of hydrogen bromide is complete and the colour of the bromine has disappeared. Pour off the liquid reaction product into a Claisen flask and distil mider the reduced pressure of a water pump. Collect the a-bromo-wo-valeryl bromide at 117-122°/25-30 mm. The yield is 150 g. 

Treatment of 2 4 6 tn tert butylphenol with bromine in cold acetic acid gives the compound CigH29BrO in quantitative yield The infrared spectrum of this compound contains absorptions at 1630 and 1655 cm Its H NMR spectrum shows only three peaks (all singlets) at 8 1 2 13 and 6 9 in the ratio 9 18 2 What is a reasonable structure for the compound" ... 

Bromine Monofluoride. Bromine monofluoride is red to red-brown (4) and is unstable, disproportionating rapidly into bromine and higher fluorides. Therefore, the measurement of its physical properties is difficult and the values reported in Table 1 are only approximate. The uv-absorption spectmm is available (25). 

Bromine Trifluoride. Bromine trifluoride is a colorless Hquid. The commercial grade is usually amber to red because of slight bromine contamination. The molecule has a distorted T stmeture (26). Infrared spectral data (26—30), the uv-absorption spectmm (31), and vapor pressure data (32) may be found in the Hterature. 

Bromine Pentafluoride. Bromine pentafluoride is a colorless Hquid having the molecular stmeture of a tetragonal pyramid (5). The index of refraction is 1.3529 (33). Infrared spectra (13,34), the uv-absorption spectmm (35), and vapor pressure data (11) are all available. 

Dyes and Indicators. The effects of bromine ia dye or iadicator molecules, ia place of hydrogen, iaclude a shift of light absorption to longer wavelengths, iacreased dissociation of phenoHc hydroxyl groups, and lower solubiHty (see Dyes and dye intermediates). The first two effects probably result from iacreased polarizatioa caused by bromine s electroaegativity compared to that of hydrogea. 

In a r-1. three-necked flask fitted with a mechanical stirrer, a reflux condenser, a thermometer, and a dropping funnel is placed LOO g. (0.58 mole) of -bromotoluene (Org. Syn. Coll. Vol. i, 131). The stem of the dropping funnel and the thermometer should reach nearly to the bottom of the flask. The upper end of the condenser is connected to a gas absorption trap (Org. Syn. 14, 2). The flask is heated with stirring in an oil bath until the temperature of the liquid reaches 105. The liquid is illuminated with an unfrosted 150-watt tungsten lamp, and 197 g. (61.8 cc., 1.23 moles) of bromine is added slowly from the separatory funnel (Note i). About one-half of the bromine is added during the first hour, during which time the temperature is kept at 105-110°. The rest is added during about two hours, while the temperature is raised to 135°. When all the bromine has been added the temperature is raised slowly to 150°. 

The oxidation of N,N -diacetylkasugamine with bromine-water (11) yielded a 8-lactone (7), showing an absorption at 1752 cm.-1 (KBr) in the infrared spectrum. It suggested the pyranose structure of kasugamine (6).
