Protonated and diprotonated carbonic acid and carbon dioxide may also have implications in biological carboxylation processes. Although behavior in highly acidic solvent systems cannot be extrapolated to in vivo conditions, related multidentate interactions at enzymatic sites are possible. 

Isocyanates are derivatives of isocyanic acid, HN=C=0, ia which alkyl or aryl groups, as weU as a host of other substrates, are direcdy linked to the NCO moiety via the nitrogen atom. StmcturaHy, isocyanates (imides of carbonic acid) are isomeric to cyanates, ROCMSI (nitriles of carbonic acid), and nitrile oxides, RCMSI—>0 (derivatives of carboxyUc acid). 

Polymers based on carbonic acid and diamines are considered polyureas. 

Ester exchange of dihydroxy compounds with diesters of carbonic acid and monofunctional aromatic or aliphatic hydroxy compounds. 

The first three chapters discuss fundamental bonding theory, stereochemistry, and conformation, respectively. Chapter 4 discusses the means of study and description of reaction mechanisms. Chapter 9 focuses on aromaticity and aromatic stabilization and can be used at an earlier stage of a course if an instructor desires to do so. The other chapters discuss specific mechanistic types, including nucleophilic substitution, polar additions and eliminations, carbon acids and enolates, carbonyl chemistry, aromatic substitution, concerted reactions, free-radical reactions, and photochemistry.

Rearrangements of vinylogous urethanes to vinylogous carbonic acids and decarboxylation are other interesting enamine rearrangements which may be synthetically useful in the formation of cyclic enamines (623,624). 

Steam/condensate line corrosion control. Control over steam and condensate line corrosion requires the control of oxygen, carbon dioxide (carbonic acid), and ammonia. 

Alternatives to fossil fuels, such as hydrogen, are explored in Box 6.2 and Section 14.3. Coal, which is mostly carbon, can be converted into fuels with a lower proportion of carbon. Its conversion into methane, CH4, for instance, would reduce C02 emissions per unit of energy. We can also work with nature by accelerating the uptake of carbon by the natural processes of the carbon cycle. For example, one proposed solution is to pump C02 exhaust deep into the ocean, where it would dissolve to form carbonic acid and bicarbonate ions. Carbon dioxide can also be removed from power plant exhaust gases by passing the exhaust through an aqueous slurry of calcium silicate to produce harmless solid products ...

A, A /-Carbonylbis[2(3//)-benzoxazolethione], obtained from mercaptobenzoxazole and dimeric phosgene as the more thermodynamically stable A-acyl product, also represents a reactive heterocyclic diamide of carbonic acid, and is therefore used in the same way for ester syntheses as A /V -carbonyldibenzimidazole.c 1321... 

As the amount of C02 stored increases, it becomes progressively more difficult to guarantee a physical barrier that prevents C02 from returning to the atmosphere. A chemical conversion to a thermodynamically lower state, thus, would be desirable and is indeed possible. C02 is the anhydrous form of carbonic acid and, therefore, can be used to displace... 

Equation 8.26 predicts a concentration of CO2 in one litre of water at 25°C of 3.32 x 10-2 moll-1 at a pressure of 1 bar. The pH of the oceans is related to the amount of dissolved C02 but also to the equilibria controlling the formation of carbonic acid and the bicarbonate and carbonate ions ... 

Table X shows the qualitative effect of various groups on the acidity of mono and disubstituted carbon acids and oxygen acids. Unfortunately, many of the acidities have been estimated from extra-...

The linear free energy relationship is one that can plausibly be expected, although not rigorously derived, whenever the transition state resembles both the carbon acid and the ion.867... 

In a similar way, blood does not change its pH because it contains suitable concentrations of carbonic acid and bicarbonate ion, which act as a buffer, as below. 

H2C03(aq) is named carbonic acid and is one of the reasons that most carbonated beverages are slightly acidic. It is also the reason that soft drinks have fizz, because this carbonic acid can easily revert to carbon dioxide and water. 

Historically the earliest Ni-containing enzyme to be described was urease from jack bean meal, which was crystallized by James Sumner in 19261. However, analytical techniques did not allow urease to be recognized as a Ni-containing enzyme until 50 years later. Urease catalyses the hydrolysis of urea to ammonia and carbamate, which spontaneously hydrolyses to give carbonic acid and a second molecule of ammonia. 

Nuclear reorganization or the rehybridization of the carbon is a main factor in the retardation of proton transfer involving carbon acids, and solvation changes have much less impact (7). 

Statement number 6 has to do with carbon acids and is supported by reference (7). There are, in fact, other references that suggest solvent plays a much more direct role in the kinetics of protonating carbanions than statement number 6 would imply. For example, there is evidence that nuclear reorganization and rehybridization of the carbon atom are too rapid to have much kinetic importance when compared with solvent reorientation. The strong dependence of carbanion protonation rates on the solvent supports this view. These rates are typically much faster in organic solvents, such as DMSO, than in water. A particular reaction that was studied in different solvents (17) is... 

The chemical diversity of carboxylic acid esters (R-CO-O-R ) originates in both moieties, i.e., the acyl group (R-CO-) and the alkoxy or aryloxy group (-OR7). Thus, the acyl group can be made up of aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids, carbamic acids, or carbonic acids, and the -OR7 moiety may be derived from an alcohol, an enol, or a phenol. When a thiol is involved, a thioester R-CO-S-R7 is formed. The model substrates to be discussed in Sect. 7.3 will, thus, be classified according to the chemical nature of the -OR7 (or -SR7) moiety, i.e., the alcohol, phenol, or thiol that is the first product to be released during the hydrolase-catalyzed reaction (see Chapt. 3). Diesters represent substrates of special interest and will be presented separately. 

The detailed mechanism of the Favorskii rearrangement in Scheme 31 is not clear. Equimolar amounts of the carbon acid and the ketone are used, and initial... 

The principal buffer system in blood serum is based on the equilibrium between carbonic acid, H2C03(aq), and the hydrogen carbonate ion, HCO3 . Carbonic acid is unstable, however. It is also in equilibrium with carbon dioxide. Therefore, a second equilibrium reaction is involved in the hydrogen carbonate buffer system in the blood the reaction between carbon dioxide and water to produce carbonic acid, and its reverse. The two equilibrium reactions are summarized below. 

Assume that carbonic acid and hydrogen carbonate ions are the only contributors to blood pH.
