Dichloro-2-(5-methoxyhept-l-yl)bicyclo[3.3.0]octan-7-one (45.9 g) is added to a 100 ml, round-bottomed flask fitted with a condenser. Powdered zinc metal (92 g) and glacial acetic acid (312 ml) are added to the flask and... 

The vibrational method is used in order to condense powders formed from hard and elastic metals and alloys (titanium, molybdenum, silicon carbide, etc.). Here not only are the fine particles distributed between the large ones, but the autohesion is increased... 

C10H16N2O3. White crystalline powder, m.p. I22-124°C. Prepared by condensing ethyl butylethylmalonate with urea. It is used as a sedative and hypnotic. 

C10H10N4O2S. White powder, which darkens on exposure to light m.p. 255-256 C. Prepared by condensing p-acet-amidobenzenesulphonyl chloride with 2-aminopyrimidine and subsequent hydrolysis. Soluble sulphadiazine is the sodium salt. Sulphadiazine is the least toxic of the more potent sulphonamides. ... 

Ullman reaction The synthesis of diaryls by the condensation of aromatic halides with themselves or other aromatic halides, with the concomitant removal of halogens by a metal, e.g. copper powder thus bromobenzene gives diphenyl. The reaction may be extended to the preparation of diaryl ethers and diaryl thio-ethers by coupling a metal phenolate with an aryl halide. 

This description is traditional, and some further comment is in order. The flat region of the type I isotherm has never been observed up to pressures approaching this type typically is observed in chemisorption, at pressures far below P. Types II and III approach the line asymptotically experimentally, such behavior is observed for adsorption on powdered samples, and the approach toward infinite film thickness is actually due to interparticle condensation [36] (see Section X-6B), although such behavior is expected even for adsorption on a flat surface if bulk liquid adsorbate wets the adsorbent. Types FV and V specifically refer to porous solids. There is a need to recognize at least the two additional isotherm types shown in Fig. XVII-8. These are two simple types possible for adsorption on a flat surface for the case where bulk liquid adsorbate rests on the adsorbent with a finite contact angle [37, 38]. 

Lead formate separates from aqueous solution without water of crystallisation. It can therefore be used for the preparation of anhydrous formic acid. For this purpose, the powdered lead formate is placed in the inner tube of an ordinary jacketed cond ser, and there held loosely in position by plugs of glass-wool. The condenser is then clamped in an oblique position and the lower end fitted into a receiver closed with a calcium chloride tube. A current of dry hydrogen sulphide is passed down the inner tube of the condenser, whilst steam is passed through the jacket. The formic acid which is liberated... 

Add 5 g. of potassium hydrogen tartrate and 5 g. of antimony trioxide (each being finely powdered) to 30 ml. of water contained in a small flask, and boil the mixture under a reflux water-condenser for 15 minutes. Then filter hot, using a Buchner funnel and flask which have been preheated by the filtration of some boiling distilled water. Pour the clear filtrate into a beaker and allow to cool. Potassium antimonyl tartrate separates as colourless crystals. Filter, drain and dry. Yield, 5 g. The product can be recrystallised from hot water, but this is usually not necessary. 

Add I g. of finely powdered mercuric oxide and o-8 g. of benzamide to 10 ml. of ethanol, and boil the mixture under a reflux water condenser for 30 minutes. Now filter the hot solution through a fluted filter-... 

The crude acetonitrile contains as impurity chiefly acetic acid, arising from the action of phosphoric acid on the acetamide. Therefore add to the nitrile about half its volume of water, and then add powdered dry potassium carbonate until the well-shaken mixture is saturated. The potassium carbonate neutralises any acetic acid present, and at the same time salts out the otherwise water-soluble nitrile as a separate upper layer. Allow to stand for 20 minutes with further occasional shaking. Now decant the mixed liquids into a separating-funnel, run off the lower carbonate layer as completely as possible, and then pour off the acetonitrile into a 25 ml, distilling-flask into which about 3-4 g. of phosphorus pentoxide have been placed immediately before. Fit a thermometer and water-condenser to the flask and distil the acetonitrile slowly, collecting the fraction of b.p. 79-82°. Yield 9 5 g. (12 ml.). 

Add in turn benzyl chloride (8 3 g., 8 o ml.) and powdered thiourea (5 gm.) to 10 ml. of 95% ethanol in a 100 ml. flask fitted with a reflux condenser. Warm the mixture on the water-bath with gentle shaking until the reaction occurs and the effervescence subsides then boil the mixture under reflux for 30 minutes. Cool the clear solution in ice-water, filter off the crystalline deposit of the benzylthiouronium chloride at the pump, wash it with ice-cold ethyl acetate, and dry in a desiccator. Yield, 11-12 g., m.p. 170-174°. The white product is sufficiently pure for use as a reagent. It is very soluble in cold water and ethanol, but can be recrystallised by adding ethanol dropwise to a boiling suspension in ethyl acetate or acetone until a clear solution is just obtained, and then rapidly cooling.
