The aromatic fractions of natural gas condensate reacted with a-olefins to give alkylarenes which were converted to sodium sulfonates or to ethanolamine sulfonates. The naphthene-paraffin fractions of the gas condensate reacted with PC13 and 02 to give RPOCl2, which reacted with triethanolamine to give N-a-... 

In a reaction which is mechanistically related to the Skraup reaction an a,/ -unsaturated carbonyl compound, generated by way of an acid-catalysed aldol condensation, reacts with a primary aromatic amine in the presence of acid to yield a quinoline derivative (Doebner-Miller reaction). For example, when aniline is heated with paraldehyde (which depolymerises to acetaldehyde during the reaction) in the presence of hydrochloric acid the final product is 2-methyl-quinoline (101) (quinaldine, Expt 8.40). Retrosynthetic analysis for the 1,2-dihydroquinoline reveals crotonaldedhyde as the unsaturated carbonyl component which is in turn formed from acetaldehyde (see Section 5.18.2, p. 799). 

It is known that ketones, which are capable of aldol condensation, react with trichlorogermane in a particular way. First, an aldol condensation occurs and then trichlorogermane adds to the C=C double bond of the product of condensation74. However, in the case of methyl cyclopropyl ketone, the condensation does not occur and a single isomer derived from the ring opening reaction is formed with 65% yield (equation 28)75. 

In 1968, Rowlands et al. (27A102) published an extension of their previous work in which the reaction of cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) with hemoglobin was studied in more detail. In addition, the electron transfer properties of the smoke condensate were studied. The involvement of the oxides of nitrogen in the free radical properties of the smoke was suggested by a selective condensation experiment in which the smoke was fractionated at various temperatures and the various condensates reacted with hemoglobin. 

The ester enolate in the Claisen condensation undergoes nucleophilic acyl substitution, whereas the aldehyde or ketone enolate in the aldol condensation reacts by nucleophilic addition. 

Structural acrylic chemistry is very similar to anaerobic chemistry. The differences arise in the reactions that take place to initiate polymerization. The common initiator/curative redox couple in structural acrylic technology, hydroperoxide/amine-aldehyde condensate, reacts to generate alkoxy radicals. The exact fate of the DHP in the redox reaction is not known. However, a likely first step involves hydrogen abstraction as shown in Eq. (7). 

Saturated aliphatic aldehydes generally give low yields in the azlactone synthesis. at,/3-Unsaturated aldehydes such as cinnamaldehyde, of-nr-amylcinnamaldehyde, and perilla aldehyde, which cannot undergo an aldol condensation, react satisfactorily (65-80% yields). 2-Thio-phenealdehyde diethylacetal gives yields as satisfactory as those from the... 

The reaction of potassium cyanide or sodium methoxide with the allylic bromide (34) leads to cyclization and this method appears to be a good preparation of densely substituted cyclopropanes. (In this, as in other 1,3-eliminations, the mechanism may be either stepwise or concerted and only in few cases have the mechanisms been investigated.) A new preparation of substituted spiro [2,5] octanes is based upon this reaction. Compounds (35), which are readily available by Knoevenagel condensations, react with potassium cyanide as shown in Scheme 4. It was shown that, from the -compound (35bX a single product was obtained. The authors suggest that it is the cis-compound shown. 

Consider again the simple process shown in Fig. 4.4d in which FEED is reacted to PRODUCT. If the process usbs a distillation column as separator, there is a tradeofi" between refiux ratio and the number of plates if the feed and products to the distillation column are fixed, as discussed in Chap. 3 (Fig. 3.7). This, of course, assumes that the reboiler and/or condenser are not heat integrated. If the reboiler and/or condenser are heat integrated, the, tradeoff is quite different from that shown in Fig. 3.7, but we shall return to this point later in Chap. 14. The important thing to note for now is that if the reboiler and condenser are using external utilities, then the tradeoff between reflux ratio and the number of plates does not affect other operations in the flowsheet. It is a local tradeoff. 

It was pointed out that a bimolecular reaction can be accelerated by a catalyst just from a concentration effect. As an illustrative calculation, assume that A and B react in the gas phase with 1 1 stoichiometry and according to a bimolecular rate law, with the second-order rate constant k equal to 10 1 mol" see" at 0°C. Now, assuming that an equimolar mixture of the gases is condensed to a liquid film on a catalyst surface and the rate constant in the condensed liquid solution is taken to be the same as for the gas phase reaction, calculate the ratio of half times for reaction in the gas phase and on the catalyst surface at 0°C. Assume further that the density of the liquid phase is 1000 times that of the gas phase. 

The introductory remarks about unimolecular reactions apply equivalently to bunolecular reactions in condensed phase. An essential additional phenomenon is the effect the solvent has on the rate of approach of reactants and the lifetime of the collision complex. In a dense fluid the rate of approach evidently is detennined by the mutual difhision coefficient of reactants under the given physical conditions. Once reactants have met, they are temporarily trapped in a solvent cage until they either difhisively separate again or react. It is conmron to refer to the pair of reactants trapped in the solvent cage as an encounter complex. If the unimolecular reaction of this encounter complex is much faster than diffiisive separation i.e., if the effective reaction barrier is sufficiently small or negligible, tlie rate of the overall bimolecular reaction is difhision controlled. 

Chemical reaction dynamics is an attempt to understand chemical reactions at tire level of individual quantum states. Much work has been done on isolated molecules in molecular beams, but it is unlikely tliat tliis infonnation can be used to understand condensed phase chemistry at tire same level [8]. In a batli, tire reacting solute s potential energy surface is altered by botli dynamic and static effects. The static effect is characterized by a potential of mean force. The dynamical effects are characterized by tire force-correlation fimction or tire frequency-dependent friction [8]. 

Hydrogen iodide is prepared in a similar way to hydrogen bromide, by the action of water on a mixture of iodine and violet phosphorus. TTie hydrogen iodide evolved may be collected by downward delivery or may be condensed (b.p. 238 K) it reacts with mercury and so cannot be collected over the latter. 

Note that p-acetamidobenzenesulphonyl chloride will similarly react with primary and secondary amines, and the products, after hydrolysis of the acetyl group, may furnish notable drugs e.g., the condensation products with 2-amino-pyridine and 2-aminothiazole, after remo al of the acetyl groups, provide the drugs commonly known as sulphapyridine (M B 693) and sulphathidzole respectively. 

Some alcohols react readily with phenylisocyanate at room temperature, and others require heating, preferably in petroleum. Phenylisocyanate is poisonous and should not be heated outside a fume-cupboard except under a condenser. 

If preferred, the following alternative procedure may be adopted. The absolute alcohol is placed in a 1 5 or 2 litre three-necked flask equipped with a double surface reflux condenser and a mercury-sealed mechanical stirrqr the third neck is closed with a dry stopper. The sodium is introduced and, when it has reacted completely, the ester is added and the mixture is gently refluxed for 2 hours. The reflux condenser is then rapidly disconnected and arranged for downward distillation with the aid of a short still head or knee tube. The other experimental details are as above except that the mixture is stirred during the distillation bumping is thus reduced to a minimum. 

IsoValeric acid. Prepare dilute sulphuric acid by adding 140 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid cautiously and with stirring to 85 ml. of water cool and add 80 g. (99 ml.) of redistilled woamyl alcohol. Place a solution of 200 g. of crystallised sodium dicliromate in 400 ml. of water in a 1-litre (or 1-5 litre) round-bottomed flask and attach an efficient reflux condenser. Add the sulphuric acid solution of the isoamyl alcohol in amaU portions through the top of the condenser shake the apparatus vigorously after each addition. No heating is required as the heat of the reaction will suffice to keep the mixture hot. It is important to shake the flask well immediately after each addition and not to add a further portion of alcohol until the previous one has reacted if the reaction should become violent, immerse the flask momentarily in ice water. The addition occupies 2-2-5 hours. When all the isoamyl alcohol has been introduced, reflux the mixture gently for 30 minutes, and then allow to cool. Arrange the flask for distillation (compare Fig. II, 13, 3, but with the thermometer omitted) and collect about 350 ml. of distillate. The latter consists of a mixture of water, isovaleric acid and isoamyl isovalerate. Add 30 g. of potassium not sodium) hydroxide pellets to the distillate and shake until dissolved. Transfer to a separatory funnel and remove the upper layer of ester (16 g.). Treat the aqueous layer contained in a beaker with 30 ml. of dilute sulphuric acid (1 1 by volume) and extract the liberated isovaleric acid with two...
