CH2C1 CH2C1. Colourless liquid with an odour like that of chloroform b.p. 84 C. It is an excellent solvent for fats and waxes. Was first known as oil of Dutch chemists . Manufactured by the vapour- or liquid-phase reaction of ethene and chlorine in the presence of a catalyst. It reacts with anhydrous ethano-ales to give ethylene glycol diethanoate and with ammonia to give elhylenediamine, these reactions being employed for the manufacture of these chemicals. It burns only with difficulty and is not decomposed by boiling water. 

Required Cyclohexanone, 20 g. hydroxylamine hydrochloride, 17 g. anhydrous sodium carbonate, 13 g. concentrated sulphuric acid, 50 ml. 25% aqueous potassium hydroxide solution, approx. 200 ml. chloroform, 120 ml. 

The chloroform is shaken five or six times with about half its volume of water, then dried over anhydrous calcium chloride for at least 24 hours, and distilled. 

The chloroform is shaken two or three times with a small volume (say, 5 per cent.) of concentrated sulphuric acid, thoroughly washed with water, dried over anhydrous calcium chloride or anhydrous potassium carbonate, and distilled. 

The anhydrous compound is not appreciably hygroscopic, is readily soluble in acetone and amyl alcohol, and insoluble in benzene, toluene, xylene and chloroform it is also readily soluble in absolute methyl or ethyl alcohol, but a trace of water causes immediate hydrolysis with the formation of an opalescent precipitate. 

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). 

In a 2-litre round-bottomed flask, equipped with a double surface condenser, place 60 g. of triniethylene dicyanide (Section 111,114) and 900 g. of 50 per cent, sulphuric acid (by weight). Reflux the mixture for 10 hours and allow to cool. Saturate the solution with ammonium sul phate and extract wit-h four 150 ml. portions of ether dry the ethereal extracts with anhydrous sodium or magnesium sulphate. Distil off the ether on a water bath the residual glutaric acid (69 g.) crystallises on cooling and has m.p. 97-97-5°. Upon recrystalhsation from chloroform, or benzene, or benzene mixed with 10 per cent, by weight of ether, the m.p. is 97 -5-98°. 

The apparatus required is similar to that described for Diphenylmelhane (Section IV,4). Place a mixture of 200 g. (230 ml.) of dry benzene and 40 g. (26 ml.) of dry chloroform (1) in the flask, and add 35 g. of anhydrous aluminium chloride in portions of about 6 g. at intervals of 5 minutes with constant shaking. The reaction sets in upon the addition of the aluminium chloride and the liquid boils with the evolution of hydrogen chloride. Complete the reaction by refluxing for 30 minutes on a water bath. When cold, pour the contents of the flask very cautiously on to 250 g. of crushed ice and 10 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Separate the upper benzene layer, dry it with anhydrous calcium chloride or magnesium sulphate, and remove the benzene in a 100 ml. Claisen flask (see Fig. II, 13, 4) at atmospheric pressure. Distil the remaining oil under reduced pressure use the apparatus shown in Fig. 11,19, 1, and collect the fraction b.p. 190-215°/10 mm. separately. This is crude triphenylmethane and solidifies on cooling. Recrystallise it from about four times its weight of ethyl alcohol (2) the triphenylmethane separates in needles and melts at 92°. The yield is 30 g. 

The chloroform is dried by leaving it over anhydrous calcium chloride or anhydrous calcium sulphate for about 12 hours. 

To obtain crystalline perbenzoic acid, dry the moist chloroform solution with a little anhydrous sodium or magnesium sulphate for an hour, filter, and wash the desiccant with a little dry chloroform. Remove the chloroform under reduced pressure at the ordinary temperature whilst carbon dioxide is introduced through a capillary tube. Dry the white or pale yellow residue for several hours at 30-35° under 10 mm. pressure. The yield of crystalline perbenzoic acid, m.p. about 42°, which is contaminated with a little benzoic acid, is 22 g. It is moderately stable when kept in the dark in a cold place it is very soluble in chloroform, ethyl acetate and ether, but only shghtly soluble in cold water and in cold hght petroleum. 

Neutralise the cold contents of the flask with 500-600 ml. of 40 per cent, aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, equip the flask for steam distillation and steam distil until about 1 litre of distillate is collected. The steam distillate separates into two layers. Add solid sodium hydroxide (< 100 g.) to complete the separation of the two layers as far as possible. Remove the upper (organic) layer and extract the aqueous layer with three 50 ml. portions of chloroform. Dry the combined organic layer and chloroform extracts with anhydrous potassium carbonate and distil the mixture through a short fractionating column (e.g., an 8 Dufton column) after a fore run of chloroform, followed by pyridine, collect the crude 4-ethylpyridine at 150-166° (49 g.). Redistil through a Fenske-... 

Method 2. Dissolve 20 0 g. of sahcylaldehyde in 30 ml. of rectified spirit, add a solution of 15 g. of hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 10 ml. of water, and render the mixture just alkahne with 10 per cent, sodium carbonate solution whilst coohng in ice. Allow to stand overnight. Acidify with acetic acid, distil off the alcohol under reduced pressiu e (water pump), dilute with twice the volume of water, and extract with two 50 ml. portions of ether. Dry the ethereal extract with anhydrous sodium or magnesium sulphate, distil off most of the ether, and allow the residue to crystaUise. RecrystallLse from chloroform - hght petroleum (b.p. 40-60°). The yield of sahcylaldoxime, m.p. 57°, is 12 g. 

The first identified complexes of unsubstituted thiazole were described by Erlenmeyer and Schmid (461) they were obtained by dissolution in absolute alcohol of both thiazole and an anhydrous cobalt(II) salt (Table 1-62). Heating the a-CoCri 2Th complex in chloroform gives the 0 isomer, which on standirtg at room temperature reverses back to the a form. According to Hant2sch (462), these isomers correspond to a cis-trans isomerism. Several complexes of 2,2 -(183) and 4,4 -dithiazolyl (184) were also prepared and found similar to pyridyl analogs (185) (Table 1-63). Zn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) chelates of 2.4-/>is(2-pyridyl)thiazole (186) and (2-pyridylamino)-4-(2-pyridy])thiazole (187) have been investigated. The formation constants for species MLr, and ML -" (L = 186 or 187) have been calculated from data obtained by potentiometric, spectrophotometric, and partition techniques. 

Acetaldehyde reacts with phosphoms pentachloride to produce 1,1-dichloroethane [75-34-3] and with hypochlorite and hypoiodite to yield chloroform [67-66-3] and iodoform [75-47-8], respectively. Phosgene [75-44-5] is produced by the reaction of carbon tetrachloride with acetaldehyde in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride (75). Chloroform reacts with acetaldehyde in the presence of potassium hydroxide and sodium amide to form l,l,l-trichloro-2-propanol [7789-89-1] (76). 

Bisa.codyl, 4,4 -(2-PyridyLmethylene)bisphenol diacetate [603-50-9] (Dulcolax) (9) is a white to off-white crystalline powder ia which particles of 50 p.m dia predominate. It is very soluble ia water, freely soluble ia chloroform and alcohol, soluble ia methanol and ben2ene, and slightly soluble ia diethyl ether. Bisacodyl may be prepared from 2-pyridine-carboxaldehyde by condensation with phenol and the aid of a dehydrant such as sulfuric acid. The resulting 4,4 -(pyridyLmethylene)diphenol is esterified by treatment with acetic anhydride and anhydrous sodium acetate. Crystallisation is from ethanol. 

Castor Oil. Castor oil [8001-79-4] (qv) is the fixed oil from the seeds of Picinus communis Linne. Pale yellowish or almost colorless, it is a transparent viscid Hquid with a faint, mild odor and a bland taste followed by a slightly acrid and usually nauseating taste. Its specific gravity is between 0.945 and 0.965. Castor oil is soluble in alcohol, and miscible with anhydrous alcohol, glacial acetic acid, chloroform, and diethyl ether. It consists chiefly of the glycerides of ricinoleic acid [141 -22-0], and isoricinoleic acid [73891-08-4], found in the small intestine. The seed contains a highly... 

The dihydrate is very soluble ia polar solvents, such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, dioxane, and tetrahydrofuran, but insoluble ia benzene, chloroform, and petroleum ether. SolubiUty of the dihydrate ia diethyl ether (1.47 g/100 g solvent) is different from that of the anhydrous form (23.6 g/100 g solvent). 

Aluminum chloride dissolves readily in chlorinated solvents such as chloroform, methylene chloride, and carbon tetrachloride. In polar aprotic solvents, such as acetonitrile, ethyl ether, anisole, nitromethane, and nitrobenzene, it dissolves forming a complex with the solvent. The catalytic activity of aluminum chloride is moderated by these complexes. Anhydrous aluminum chloride reacts vigorously with most protic solvents, such as water and alcohols. The ability to catalyze alkylation reactions is lost by complexing aluminum chloride with these protic solvents. However, small amounts of these "procatalysts" can promote the formation of catalyticaHy active aluminum chloride complexes.
