Compounds ammonia-based

The formation of the above anions ("enolate type) depend on equilibria between the carbon compounds, the base, and the solvent. To ensure a substantial concentration of the anionic synthons in solution the pA" of both the conjugated acid of the base and of the solvent must be higher than the pAT -value of the carbon compound. Alkali hydroxides in water (p/T, 16), alkoxides in the corresponding alcohols (pAT, 20), sodium amide in liquid ammonia (pATj 35), dimsyl sodium in dimethyl sulfoxide (pAT, = 35), sodium hydride, lithium amides, or lithium alkyls in ether or hydrocarbon solvents (pAT, > 40) are common combinations used in synthesis. Sometimes the bases (e.g. methoxides, amides, lithium alkyls) react as nucleophiles, in other words they do not abstract a proton, but their anion undergoes addition and substitution reactions with the carbon compound. If such is the case, sterically hindered bases are employed. A few examples are given below (H.O. House, 1972 I. Kuwajima, 1976). 

When large amounts of copper deposits in boiler mbes cannot be removed with hydrochloric acid due to the relative insolubility of copper, ammonia-based oxidizing compounds have been effective. Used in a single separate stage, the ammonia sodium bromate step includes the introduction into the boiler system of solutions containing ammonium bromate to rapidly oxidize and dissolve the copper. 

The flavor of fish and seafoods is composed of taste-active low molecular-weight extractives and aroma-active compounds. The taste-active compoimds are more abundant in the tissues of mollusks and crustaceans than fish. The most important non-volatile taste components are fi-ee amino acids, nucleotides, inorganic salts and quaternary ammonia bases. Alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, furans, nitrogen-containing compounds, sulfur-containing compounds, hydrocarbons, esters and phenols are the most important volatiles is shellfish. Alkyl pyrazines and sulfur-containing compounds are important contributors to the cooked aroma of crustaceans. Furans pyrazines, and Lactones have been found in heat-treated seafoods. Dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, heterocyclic sulfiir-containing compounds (alkylthiophenes) have been found in most thermally treated crustaceans like prawn, crab, oyster, crayfish and shrimp (52).

The reaction of chloroacetamide with phosphorus trichloride and phosphorous acid is reported to lead to l-amino-2-chloroethane-l,l-bisphosphonic acid . Treatment of this compound with base caused loss of ammonia with the formation of phospho-noacetylphosphonic acid as the sodium salt. The reaction has been rationalized by the mechanism depicted in equation 37 ... 

Mild acid hydrolysis of the deaminated purine nucleotides, xanthylic acid and inosinic acid, gives the purine bases (xanthine and hypo-xanthine, respectively) and a reducing sugar phosphate. The same hydrolytic products are obtained by use of a specific pancreatic enzyme. On the other hand, mild alkaline hydrolysis of a nucleotide, or treatment with the appropriate enzyme, liberates free phosphoric acid and a non-reducing compound of base and sugar, known as a nucleoside. (Hydrolysis of ribosenucleic acid with fairly dilute ammonia under pressure, during 3.5 hours at a bath temperature of 175 to 180 , gives an equimolecular mixture of four nucleosides).

The most important commercial process for converting N2 from the air into nitrogen-containing compounds is based on the reaction of N2 and H2 to form ammonia (NH3) ... 

Taking into account the fact that aqueous solutions of certain covalent compounds (notably bases that are not hydroxides, and acids) are electrolytes (while the pure covalent compounds, such as liquid sulfuric acid, gaseous hydrogen chloride, or gaseous ammonia, are not), the model accepts that during the dissolution process, the molecules of the solute are split into ions by reacting chemically with water. This process is called ionisation. It has been observed that electrolytes do not all ionise to the same extent. Some are almost completely ionised (strong electrolytes, for example sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid ) while others are feebly ionised (weak electrolytes, for example acetic acid and the base ammonia). 

Amine o- men, a- men [ISR, fr. NL ammonia] (1863) n. Organic bases derived from the parent compound, ammonia (NH3). The hydrogens of the ammonia may be substituted by alkyl groups, in which case the series of aliphatic bases is produced. Similarly, aromatic bases are formed when... 

Ammonia, iVffy a colorless gas with a sharp, characteristic smell condensation temperature at normal pressure and about -40°C.It is very soluble in cold water, but completely driven off by boiling. The aqueous solution is weakly basic, because NH3 takes up a proton to form an ammonium ion NH3 -1- HjO NH4 + OH. The reaction equilibrium lies far to the left, so that NH3 can be displaced from ammonium compounds by bases. The toxicity of NH3 is related to the high permeation rate of the nonprotonated form and its tendency to become protonated. 

Chloramines resulting from the reaction of chlorine with nitrogen-containing compounds (ammonia, urea) are the main chemicals responsible for chlorine smell and eye/skin irritation in swimming pools. Saltwater chlorination lowers the chloramine level by a mechanism similar to breakpoint chlorination. The excess concentration of chlorine relative to ammonia close to the electrode surface results in chloramine decomposition prior to injection of treated water into the pool [7]. In the presence of organics, saltwater chlorination, as all chlorine-based disinfections, can generate unhealthy halogenated by-products, in particular trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids.
