Carbon dioxide spectroscopy

For the same reason inverse addition was applied introduction of carbon dioxide into the solution of RCH=C=CHLi has been shown to give bad results note 2. The actual yields (based on MNR spectroscopy) are between 75 and 85%. 

Commercial Hquid sodium alumiaates are normally analyzed for total alumiaa and for sodium oxide by titration with ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid [60-00-4] (EDTA) or hydrochloric acid. Further analysis iacludes the determiaation of soluble alumiaa, soluble siHca, total iasoluble material, sodium oxide content, and carbon dioxide. Aluminum and sodium can also be determiaed by emission spectroscopy. The total iasoluble material is determiaed by weighing the ignited residue after extraction of the soluble material with sodium hydroxide. The sodium oxide content is determiaed ia a flame photometer by comparison to proper standards. Carbon dioxide is usually determiaed by the amount evolved, as ia the Underwood method.

The reactions of carbon dioxide with zinc hydroxide complexes of the 3-t-butyl 5-methyl and 3,5-di-wo-propyl pyrazolyl derivatives were investigated. IR spectroscopy demonstrated formation of a bicarbonate derivative of the former complex and NMR showed a rapid reversible... 

Using on-line mass spectroscopy [65] carbon dioxide and formic acid were demonstrated as soluble products of methanol oxidation. The former gives the most intense MS signal according to the fact that it is the main product. There are two main problems to detect formic acid as such. In the presence of carbon dioxide most of the m/e signals of HCOOH overlap with signals of the major product. Besides this, in the presence of methanol, formic acid reacts to form the methyl ester ... 

Carbon dioxide chemisorptions were carried out on a pulse-flow microreactor system with on-line gas chromatography using a thermal conductivity detector. The catalyst (0.4 g) was heated in flowing helium (40 cm3min ) to 723 K at 10 Kmin"1. The samples were held at this temperature for 2 hours before being cooled to room temperature and maintained in a helium flow. Pulses of gas (—1.53 x 10"5 moles) were introduced to the carrier gas from the sample loop. After passage through the catalyst bed the total contents of the pulse were analysed by GC and mass spectroscopy (ESS MS). 

In order to correlate this model reaction with physicochemical techniques, 2,6-dimethylpyridine and carbon dioxide adsorption followed by Infrared spectroscopy [2-4] which are generally used to respectively characterize the acidity and the basicity of aluminas were also undertaken. 

Heterolytic mechanism is important in the absence of substrates and homolytic one occurs in the presence of oxidizable biomolecules. Bonini et al. [139] were able to identify C03 radical in the reaction of peroxynitrite with carbon dioxide by ESR spectroscopy. 

For infrared spectroscopy, this requires proper subtraction of the background moisture and carbon dioxide to get a good approximation of solvent (in the cell). These can then be used to obtain a good approximation of solute A, followed by solute B etc. This process can be done manually by trial and error,or it can be automated for optimal subtraction. The output is a set of n reference spectra. 

The reaction involves the transfer of an electron from the alkali metal to naphthalene. The radical nature of the anion-radical has been established from electron spin resonance spectroscopy and the carbanion nature by their reaction with carbon dioxide to form the carboxylic acid derivative. The equilibrium in Eq. 5-65 depends on the electron affinity of the hydrocarbon and the donor properties of the solvent. Biphenyl is less useful than naphthalene since its equilibrium is far less toward the anion-radical than for naphthalene. Anthracene is also less useful even though it easily forms the anion-radical. The anthracene anion-radical is too stable to initiate polymerization. Polar solvents are needed to stabilize the anion-radical, primarily via solvation of the cation. Sodium naphthalene is formed quantitatively in tetrahy-drofuran (THF), but dilution with hydrocarbons results in precipitation of sodium and regeneration of naphthalene. For the less electropositive alkaline-earth metals, an even more polar solent than THF [e.g., hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA)] is needed. 

The most important reactions of alkyl substituents a and y to the ring heteroatom are those which proceed via base-catalyzed deprotonation. Treatment of 2- and 4-alkyl heterocycles with strong bases such as sodamide and liquid ammonia, alkyllithiums, LDA, etc., results in an essentially quantitative deprotonation and formation of the corresponding carbanions. These then react normally with a wide range of electrophiles such as alkyl halides and tosylates, acyl halides, carbon dioxide, aldehydes, ketones, formal-dehyde/dimethylamine, etc., to give the expected condensation products. Typical examples of these transformations are shown in Scheme 17. Deprotonation of alkyl groups by the use of either aqueous or alcoholic bases can also be readily demonstrated by NMR spectroscopy, and while the amount of deprotonation under these conditions is normally very small, under the appropriate conditions condensations with electrophiles proceed normally (Scheme 18).
