With a multilayer membrane containing both carboxylic and sulfonic acid groups, however, it is possible to neutralize proton from the anolyte with hydroxyl anion at the surface of or in the membrane before the proton reaches the carboxylic acid layer facing the catholyte, and thus achieve high chlorine purity and longer anode life, as indicated in Table I. This is one of the essential features of the Asahi Chemical process patented in various countries (39). Another advantage of the... 

The typical perfluorocarboxylic acid membrane developed by Asahi Chemical is a multilayer membrane prepared by chemical treatment. The structure of the membrane is optimized for high current efficiency and low electric resistance. The thickness of the carboxylic acid layer is in the range of 2 to 10 microns. The chemical structure of the membrane is as follows (72). 

Increasing the thickness of the carboxylic acid layer can effectively decrease the chloride content in the product caustic soda. Beyond a certain thickness this effect diminishes. Hence, a proper choice of thickness is critical to achieve high product quality without paying an energy penalty. 

Increasing the thickness of the carboxylic acid layer tends to alleviate mechanical damage and stress on the membrane. Beyond a certain thickness, however, this effect diminishes and an optimum thickness also exists in this regard. 

Finally, in 1985, the results of an extensive investigation in which adsorjDtion took place onto an aluminium oxide layer fonned on a film of aluminium deposited in vacuo onto a silicon wafer was published by Allara and Nuzzo 1127, 1281. Various carboxylic acids were dissolved in high-purity hexadecane and allowed to adsorb from this solution onto the prepared aluminium oxide surface. It was found that for chains with more than 12 carbon atoms, chains are nearly in a vertical orientation and are tightly packed. For shorter chains, however, no stable monolayers were found. The kinetic processes involved in layer fonnation can take up to several days. 

HCl and 50 ml of water. The upper layer was separated off and the aqueous phase was extracted five times with small portions of THF. After drying the combined solutions over magnesium sulfate the solvent was removed in a water-pump vacuum. The residue was distilled through a 30-cm Vigreux column, connected to an air condenser. After a preliminary aqueous fraction of the carboxylic acid the main fraction passed over at 100°C/15 mmHg. The compound solidified in the receiver and (partly) in the condenser. The yield was almost quantitative. 

As with polyesters, the amidation reaction of acid chlorides may be carried out in solution because of the enhanced reactivity of acid chlorides compared with carboxylic acids. A technique known as interfacial polymerization has been employed for the formation of polyamides and other step-growth polymers, including polyesters, polyurethanes, and polycarbonates. In this method the polymerization is carried out at the interface between two immiscible solutions, one of which contains one of the dissolved reactants, while the second monomer is dissolved in the other. Figure 5.7 shows a polyamide film forming at the interface between an aqueous solution of a diamine layered on a solution of a diacid chloride in an organic solvent. In this form interfacial polymerization is part of the standard repertoire of chemical demonstrations. It is sometimes called the nylon rope trick because of the filament of nylon produced by withdrawing the collapsed film. 

Note Aldoses other than glucose can also be used e.g. arabinose [1], xylose [2, 3, 7] or ribose [4]. The background color is least on cellulose layers when cellulose acetate, aluminium oxide 150, silica gel, RP, NH2 or polyamide layers are employed the background is a more or less intense ochre. The detection limit of carboxylic acids on cellulose layers is ca. 0.5 pg substance per chromatogram zone. 

Note Silica gel, kieselguhr and polyamide layers can be used as stationary phases. Not all acids are stained on RP layers. Amino layers yield a pale blue background. The detection limits are in the pg range for carboxylic acids [1], thioglycolic and dithioglycolic acids [2] and for antithyroid pharmaceuticals [4] they are about 5 ng per chromatogram zone for sterols and steryl esters [6]. 

A setup similar to the preceding one is used in this experiment except that provision should be made for heating the reaction vessel (steam bath, oil bath, or mantle). Lithium aluminum hydride (10 g, 0.26 mole) is dissolved in 200 ml of dry -butyl ether and heated with stirring to 100°. A solution of 9.1 g (0.05 mole) of ra j-9-decalin-carboxylic acid (Chapter 16, Section I) in 100 ml of dry -butyl ether is added dropwise over about 30 minutes. The stirring and heating are continued for 4 days, after which the mixture is cooled and water is slowly added to decompose excess hydride. Dilute hydrochloric acid is added to dissolve the salts, and the ether layer is separated, washed with bicarbonate solution then water, and dried. The solvent is removed by distillation, and the residue is recrystallized from aqueous ethanol, mp 77-78°, yield 80-95 %. 

A mixture of 17 g of the methiodide and 32 ml of a 40 % aqueous potassium hydroxide solution is heated with stirring in a flask fitted with a condenser. The heating bath should be kept at 125-130°, and the heating should be continued for 5 hours. The cooled reaction mixture is then diluted with 30 ml of water and washed twice with 25-ml portions of ether. The aqueous layer is cautiously acidified in the cold with concentrated hydrochloric acid to a pH of about 2 and then extracted five times with 25-ml portions of ether. The combined extracts are washed twice with 10% sodium thiosulfate solution and are dried (magnesium sulfate). Removal of the solvent followed by distillation affords about 3 g of 4-cyclooctene-l-carboxylic acid, bp 125-12671-1 mm. The product may solidify and may be recrystallized by dissolution in a minimum amount of pentane followed by cooling in a Dry-Ice bath. After rapid filtration, the collected solid has mp 34-35°. 

The organic layer wasdried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then filtered. The solution was concentrated under vacuum at 30°C to 35°C until reduced to half of its original volume and then cooled to 5°C to allow the crystallization of the compound. Thus, the cake was filtered, washed with cool ethyl acetate, and dried under vacuum. Yield 74% (76.7 g) of phthalidyl ester of 2-(3 -trifluoromethylanilino)-pyridin-3-carboxylic acid, melting point 165°C to 167°C. 

Many impurities are present in commercial caprolactam which pass into the liquid wastes from PCA manufacture from which caprolactam monomer may be recovered. Also, the products of die thermal degradation of PCA, dyes, lubricants, and other PCA fillers may be contained in the regenerated CL. Identification of die contaminants by IR spectroscopy has led to the detection of lower carboxylic acids, secondary amines, ketones, and esters. Aldehydes and hydroperoxides have been identified by polarography and thin-layer chromatography. 

C. 4-Amino-l-tert-butyloxycarbonylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid (3). A 2000-mL, round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirbar is charged with a suspension of the hydantoin 2 (40.0 g, 0.8 mol) in 340 mL of THF (Note 12), and 340 mL of 2.0M potassium hydroxide solution (Note 13) is added in one portion. The flask is stoppered and the reaction mixture is stirred for 4 hr (Note 14) and then poured into a 1000-mL separatory funnel. The layers are allowed to separate over 45 min and the aqueous layer is then drained into a 1000-mL round-bottomed flask. This solution is cooled at 0°C while the pH is adjusted to 8.0 by the slow addition of ca. 100 mL of 6.0N HC1 solution. The resulting solution is further acidified to pH 6.5 by slow addition of 2.0 N HC1 solution (Note 15). The white precipitate which appears is collected by filtration on a Buchner funnel and the filtrate is concentrated to a volume of 60 mL to furnish additional precipitate which is collected by filtration. The combined portions of white solid are dried at room temperature under reduced pressure (65°C 0.5 mm) for 12 hr and then suspended in 100 mL of chloroform (Note 16) and stirred for 45 min. The white solid is filtered and then dried under reduced pressure (85°C 0.5 mm) for 24 hr to yield 13.4-14.1 g (64-68%) (Note 17) of the amino acid 3 as a white solid (Note 18). 

It has been found that the tris(tert-butyloxycarbonyl) protected hydantoin of 4-piperidone 2, selectively hydrolyses in alkali to yield the N-tert-butyloxycarbonylated piperidine amino acid 3. The hydrolysis, which is performed in a biphasic mixture of THF and 2.0M KOH at room temperature, cleanly partitions the deprotonated 4-amino-N -(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid into the aqueous phase of the reaction with minimal contamination of the hydrolysis product, di-tert-butyl iminodicarboxylate, which partitions into the THF layer. Upon neutralization of the aqueous phase with aqueous hydrochloric acid, the zwitterion of the amino acid is isolated. The Bolin procedure to introduce the 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl protecting group efficiently produces 4.8 This synthesis is a significant improvement over the previously described method9 where the final protection step was complicated by contamination of the hydrolysis side-product, di-tert-butyl iminodicarboxylate, which is very difficult to separate from 4, even by chromatographic means. 

Non-Kolbe electrolysis of carboxylic acids in acetonitrile/water leads to acetamides as main products [294] (Table 10). The mechanism has been investigated by using " C-labeled carboxylic acids. The results are rationalized by assuming a reaction layer rich of carboxylate resulting in the formation of a diacylamide that is hydrolyzed... 

Solutions of different carboxylic acids (fiimaric acid [FA], maleic acid, acrylic acid, succinic acid, and malonic acid) in ethanol have been effectively used as primers to increase the adhesion of synthetic vulcanized SBRs. The increase in the adhesion properties of SBR treated with carboxylic acid is attributed to the elimination of zinc stearate moieties and the deposition of acid on the rubber which migrates into the solvent-borne polyurethane adhesive layer once the adhesive joint is formed. The nature of the carboxylic acid determines the rate of diffusion into the adhesive and the extent of rubber-adhesive interfacial interaction.
