Carbon tetrachloride esters

Non-solvent - alcohols, aliphatic hydrocarbons, carbon tetrachloride, esters ... 

Cinnamic acid can be readily esterified by the Fischer-Speier method without any risk of the addition of hydrogen chloride at the double bond. Proceed precisely as for the preparation of ethyl benzoate (p. 104), using 20 g. of cinnamic acid and 20 ml. of rectified spirit. When the crude product is poured into water, a sharp separation of the ester is not readily obtained, and hence the addition of about 10 ml. of carbon tetrachloride is particularly desirable. Finally distil off the carbon... 

Add 1 ml. of the alcohol-free ether to 0-1-0-15 g. of finely-powdered anhydrous zinc chloride and 0 5 g. of pure 3 5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride (Section 111,27,1) contained in a test-tube attach a small water condenser and reflux gently for 1 hour. Treat the reaction product with 10 ml. of 1-5N sodium carbonate solution, heat and stir the mixture for 1 minute upon a boiling water bath, allow to cool, and filter at the pump. Wash the precipitate with 5 ml. of 1 5N sodium carbonate solution and twice with 6 ml. of ether. Dry on a porous tile or upon a pad of filter paper. Transfer the crude ester to a test-tube and boil it with 10 ml. of chloroform or carbon tetrachloride filter the hot solution, if necessary. If the ester does not separate on cooling, evaporate to dryness on a water bath, and recrystallise the residue from 2-3 ml. of either of the above solvents. Determine the melting point of the resulting 3 5 dinitro benzoate (Section 111,27). 

To obtain a maximum yield of the acid it is necessary to hydrolyse the by-product, iaoamyl iaovalerate this is most economically effected with methyl alcoholic sodium hydroxide. Place a mixture of 20 g. of sodium hydroxide pellets, 25 ml. of water and 225 ml. of methyl alcohol in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask fitted with a reflux (double surface) condenser, warm until the sodium hydroxide dissolves, add the ester layer and reflux the mixture for a period of 15 minutes. Rearrange the flask for distillation (Fig. II, 13, 3) and distil off the methyl alcohol until the residue becomes pasty. Then add about 200 ml. of water and continue the distfllation until the temperature reaches 98-100°. Pour the residue in the flask, consisting of an aqueous solution of sodium iaovalerate, into a 600 ml. beaker and add sufficient water to dissolve any solid which separates. Add slowly, with stirring, a solution of 15 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid in 50 ml. of water, and extract the hberated acid with 25 ml. of carbon tetrachloride. Combine this extract with extract (A), dry with a httle anhydrous magnesium or calcium sulphate, and distil off the carbon tetrachloride (Fig. II, 13, 4 150 ml. distiUing or Claisen flask), and then distil the residue. Collect the wovaleric acid 172-176°. The yield is 56 g. 

Unsaturated esters decolourise a solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride and also neutral potassium permanganate solution. 

Mix 31 g. (29-5 ml.) of benzyl alcohol (Section IV, 123 and Section IV,200) and 45 g. (43 ml.) of glacial acetic acid in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask introduce 1 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid and a few fragments of porous pot. Attach a reflux condenser to the flask and boil the mixture gently for 9 hours. Pour the reaction mixture into about 200 ml. of water contained in a separatory funnel, add 10 ml. of carbon tetrachloride (to eliminate emulsion formation owing to the slight difference in density of the ester and water, compare Methyl Benzoate, Section IV,176) and shake. Separate the lower layer (solution of benzyl acetate in carbon tetrachloride) and discard the upper aqueous layer. Return the lower layer to the funnel, and wash it successively with water, concentrated sodium bicarbonate solution (until effervescence ceases) and water. Dry over 5 g. of anhydrous magnesium sulphate, and distil under normal pressure (Fig. II, 13, 2) with the aid of an air bath (Fig. II, 5, 3). Collect the benzyl acetate a (colourless liquid) at 213-215°. The yield is 16 g. 

The use of ether may be avoided by mixing the ester, after its isolation from the water layer, with about 20 ml. of carbon tetrachloride. The carbon tetrachloride solution then forms the lower layer in all washing operations (compare Methyl Benzoate, Section IV,176). 

Kinetic studies of nitration using dilute solutions of dinitrogen pentoxide in organic solvents, chiefly carbon tetrachloride, have provided evidence for the operation, under certain circumstances of the molecular species as the electrophile. The reactions of benzene and toluene were inconveniently fast, and therefore a series of halogenobenzenes and aromatic esters was examined. 

C, which decomposes when heated above the melting point. Its solubility at 25°C in g/100 g solvent is water. 111 methanol, 5 ethanol, 1.4 acetone, 0.04 and carbon tetrachloride, 0.004. Because its carbon—fluorine bond is unreactive under most conditions, this salt can be converted by standard procedures to typical carboxylic acid derivatives such as fluoroacetyl esters (11,12), fluoroacetyl chloride [359-06-8] (13), fluoroacetamide (14), or fluoroacetonitrile [503-20-8] (14). 

It melts at 39°C and may be purified by vacuum sublimation. The Hquid boils at 233°C to give a monomeric vapor in which the Ti—Br distance is 231 pm. Titanium tetrabromide is soluble in dry chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, ether, and alcohol. Like titanium tetrachloride, TiBr forms a range of adducts with molecules such as ammonia, amines, nitrogen heterocycles, esters, and ethers. 

Qindamycin, 7(5)-7-chloro-7-deoxyliQcomycin [18323-44-9] (1, R = H, R = Q), also known as Cleocin, first resulted from the reaction of lincomycin and thionyl chloride (54) improved synthetic methods involve the reaction of lincomycin and triphenylphosphine dichloride or triphenylphosphine in carbon tetrachloride (55). Clindamycin is significantly more active than lincomycin against gram-positive bacteria in vitro, and is absorbed rapidly following oral adnainistration. Clindamycin 2-palmitate [36688-78-5], (6, R = R = OC(CH2) 4CH2), 2-palmitate ester of clindamycin, is... 

Hexagonal boron nitride is relatively stable in oxygen or chlorine up to 700°C, probably because of a protective surface layer of boric oxide. It is attacked by steam at 900°C, and rapidly by hot alkaU or fused alkaU carbonates. It is attacked slowly by many acids as well as alcohols (to form borate esters), acetone, and carbon tetrachloride. It is not wetted by most molten metals or many molten glasses. 

Under polymerisation conditions, the active center of the transition-metal haHde is reduced to a lower valence state, ultimately to which is unable to polymerise monomers other than ethylene. The ratio /V +, in particular, under reactor conditions is the determining factor for catalyst activity to produce EPM and EPDM species. This ratio /V + can be upgraded by adding to the reaction mixture a promoter, which causes oxidation of to Examples of promoters in the eadier Hterature were carbon tetrachloride, hexachlorocyclopentadiene, trichloroacetic ester, and hensotrichloride (8). Later, butyl perchlorocrotonate and other proprietary compounds were introduced (9,10). 

Medium Boiling Esters. Esterificatioa of ethyl and propyl alcohols, ethylene glycol, and glycerol with various acids, eg, chloro- or bromoacetic, or pymvic, by the use of a third component such as bensene, toluene, hexane, cyclohexane, or carbon tetrachloride to remove the water produced is quite common. Bensene has been used as a co-solvent ia the preparatioa of methyl pymvate from pymvic acid (101). The preparatioa of ethyl lactate is described as an example of the general procedure (102). A mixture of 1 mol 80% lactic acid and 2.3 mol 95% ethyl alcohol is added to a volume of benzene equal to half that of the alcohol (ca 43 mL), and the resulting mixture is refluxed for several hours. When distilled, the overhead condensate separates iato layers. The lower layer is extracted to recover the benzene and alcohol, and the water is discarded. The upper layer is returned to the column for reflux. After all the water is removed from the reaction mixture, the excess of alcohol and benzene is removed by distillation, and the ester is fractionated to isolate the pure ester. 

Poly(vinyl carbazole) is insoluble in alcohols, esters, ethers, ketones, carbon tetrachloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons and castor oil. It is swollen or dissolved by such agents as aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons and tetrahydrofuran. 

Despite several attractive features in this method of direct halogen introduction and the obvious applications in the synthesis of deoxy sugars, its uses have not been further exploited by other groups of workers. Some new related methods have become available which reportedly eliminate the difficulties previously encountered such as rearrangement, unreactivity due to steric hindrance, and phosphonate ester formation. The reaction is based on the observation (28) that triethylphosphine reacts with ethanol and carbon tetrachloride to give ethyl chloride, chloroform, and triethylphosphite. In a new adaptation (76, 77) of this... 

In the literature a number of different techniques for the preparation of a-sulfo fatty acid esters can be found. There is equipment for small-scale and commercial scale sulfonation. Stirton et al. added liquid sulfur trioxide dropwise to the fatty acids dispersed or dissolved in chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, or tetrachoroethylene [44]. The molar ratio of S03/fatty acid was 1.5-1.7 and the reaction temperature was increased to 65 °C in the Final stage of sulfonation. The yield was 75-85% of the dark colored a-sulfonated acid. The esterification of the acid was carried out with either the a-sulfonic acid alone, in which case the free sulfonic acid served as its own catalyst, or with the monosodium salt and a mineral catalyst. 

The reaction of the end OH group of the oleylamide of A-hydroxyethyl-diethylentriamine with phosphorus trichloride and water in the presence of carbon tetrachloride yielding a primary phosphorus acid ester [63], as is shown in Eq. (74), is a typical reaction of this type. 

That is, the reaction of primary alcohols or ethers with a calculated amount of BTMA Br3 in carbon tetrachloride-water in the presence of Na2HP04 at 60°C gave dimeric esters in good yields. In the case of benzyl alcohol, the only oxidation product was benzaldehyde (Fig. 20). 

HydTOX5 proline-derived polyesters are usually readily soluble in a variety of organic solvents (benzene, toluene, chloroform, dichloro-methane, carbon tetrachloride, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, etc.) As expected, the solubility in hydrophobic solvents increased with increasing chain length of the N protecting group, while the solubility in polar solvents decreased. For example, poly(N-hexanoyl-hydroxyproline ester) is slightly soluble in ether but easily soluble in acetonitrile, while poly(N-palmitoylhydroxyproline ester) is readily soluble in ether but virtually insoluble in acetonitrile. 

Geranyl chloride can be prepared from geraniol by the careful use of triphenylphosphine in carbon tetrachloride. Tris(dimethylamino)phosphine reacts with carbon tetrachloride to form the complex (42) which can be used to form the enol esters (43) from acid anhydrides. Similarly, aldehydes form the alkenes (44), and esters or amides of trichloroacetic acid are converted to glycidic esters. ...
