Carbon tetrachloride, melting points

Carbon tetrachloride (melting point -23°C, boiling point 76.7°C, density 1.5947, critical temperature 283.2°C, critical pressure 9714 psi - 67 MPa, solubility 0.08 g in 100 g water) is a heavy, colorless, nonflammable, noncombustible liquid. Dry carbon tetrachloride is noncorrosive to common metals except aluminum. When wet, carbon tetrachloride hydrolyzes and is corrosive to iron, copper, nickel, and alloys containing those elements. 

Repeat the boiling point determination with the following pure liquids (a) carbon tetrachloride, A.R. (77°) (6) ethylene dibromide (132°) or chlorobenzene (132°) (c) aniline, A.R. (184-6°) and (d) nitrobenzene, A.R. (211°). An air condenser should be used for (c) and (d). Correct the observed boiling points for any appreciable deviation from the normal pressure of 760 mm. Compare the observed boiling points with the values given in parentheses and construct a calibration curve for the thermometer. Compare the latter with the curve obtained from melting point determinations (Section 111,1). 

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). 

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). 

The longer perfluoroalkanesulfonic acids are hydroscopic oily Hquids. Distillation of the acid from a mixture of its salt and sulfuric acid gives a hydrated mixture with melting points above 100°C. These acids show the same general solubiUties as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, but are insoluble in ben2ene, heptane, carbon tetrachloride, and perfluorinated Hquids. AH of the higher perfluoroalkanesulfonic acids have been prepared by electrochemical fluorination (20). 

Water, 15% hydrochloric acid, 10% sodium bicarbonate and finally water. The solvent was stripped off. The residual oil was mixed with 300 ml of 28% aqueous ammonia for 1 hour. The ammonia and water were vacuum distilled at a temperature of 40°C or less. Then 300 cc of carbon tetrachloride was added and the solution dried with sodium sulfate. The solution was cooled at 0°C and then filtered. The crystals were washed with cold carbon tetrachloride and vacuum dried. The yield was 57 g of dried product having a melting point of 55°C to 56.5°C. 

The reaction is best carried out at low temperature, about 30°C, and is nearly complete and rapid. When alcohols are solid at this temperature, sulfation is made at a temperature slightly above the melting point of the alcohol. Inert solvents such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, or tetrachloroethylene can also be used, mainly when alcohols are solid, but this was seldom done on an industrial scale. 

The submitters obtained 59.6-64.1 g. (65-70%) of product melting at 36-37° after recrystallization from ethanol. Reported melting points for bis(phenylthio)methane are 34-35°, 38-40°, and 39.5-40.5°." The proton magnetic resonance spectrum of the product in carbon tetrachloride exhibits a two-proton singlet at 8 4.30 and a 10-proton multiplet at 8 7.10-7.56.

Elemental composition Os 74.82%, 0 25.18%. The compound can be identified by its physical properties, such as, odor, color, density, melting-, and boiling points. Its acrid odor is perceptible at concentrations of 0.02 mg/hter in air. The oxide also produces an orange color when a small amount of the compound or its aqueous solution is mixed with an aqueous solution of ammonia in KOH (see Reactions). Aqueous solution of the tetroxide may be analyzed for osmium by AA or ICP spectrometry (see Osmium). Vapors of the tetroxide may be purged from an aqueous solution by helium, adsorbed over a trap, and desorbed thermally by helium onto a GC. Alternatively, a benzene or carbon tetrachloride solution may be injected onto the GC and the compound peak identified by mass spectrometry. The characteristic mass ions for its identification should be 190 and 254.

Although the concentration of fluorine is the most important quantity in the control of the reaction rate and must be maintained within certain limits, in practice the stoichiometry, the molecular fluorine to substrate H-atom molar ratio, is used to determine the reaction parameters leading to a successful and efficient perfluorination. AF is most successful when sublimable solids are introduced into the hydrocarbon evaporator unit of the aerosol fluorinator as solutions by a syringe pump. This now common procedure emphasizes the individual molecule s isolation as it is fluorinated using AF. No intermolecular reactions between solute and solvent have been observed Choice of the solvent is important as it must not boil at a temperature below the melting point of the solute in order to prevent solid deposition in the tubes feeding the evaporator. It must also fluorinate to a material easily separable from the solid reactant after perfluorination. In most cases it has been found that aliphatic hydrochlorocarbons are excellent choices, but that carbon tetrachloride and chloroform and other radical-scavenging solvents are not (sec ref 6).
