Copper oxidized

Required Aniline, 30 ml. onrhlorobenzoic acid, 8 g. potassium carbonate, 8 g. powdered copper oxide, 0 4 g. 

Prepare a mixture of 30 ml, of aniline, 8 g. of o-chloro-benzoic acid, 8 g. of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 0 4 g. of copper oxide in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask fitted with an air-condenser, and then boil the mixture under reflux for 1 5 hours the mixture tends to foam during the earlier part of the heating owing to the evolution of carbon dioxide, and hence the large flask is used. When the heating has been completed, fit the flask with a steam-distillation head, and stcam-distil the crude product until all the excess of aniline has been removed. The residual solution now contains the potassium. V-phenylanthrani-late add ca. 2 g. of animal charcoal to this solution, boil for about 5 minutes, and filter hot. Add dilute hydrochloric acid (1 1 by volume) to the filtrate until no further precipitation occurs, and then cool in ice-water with stirring. Filter otT the. V-phcnylanthranilic acid at the pump, wash with water, drain and dry. Yield, 9-9 5 g. I he acid may be recrystallised from aqueous ethanol, or methylated spirit, with addition of charcoal if necessary, and is obtained as colourless crystals, m.p. 185-186°. 

I. Carbon and Hydrogen. The presence of these elements is usually assumed. If a direct test is required, a mixture of about 01 g. of the powdered substance and 2-3 g. of finely powdered copper oxide is heated in the tube A (Fig. 68) and the... 

A mist of condensed water on the upper portion of the tube A indicates the presence of hydrogen. To detect the presence of hydrogen in this way, however, the copper oxide must first be strongly heated in a crucible and then allowed to cool in a good desiccator otherwise the water normally absorbed by the very hygroscopic copper oxide will always give a mist on the tube A. 

The temporary filling of the combustion tube D is now inserted this is in part replaced after every combustion. Sufficient wire-form copper oxide is added so that it just emerges to the left of the furnace E when the tube (not including the beak) is protruding 10-15 mm. at the beak end this constitutes the main oxidative packing of the tube. This is followed by 25 mm. of M.A.R. powder-form" copper oxide, followed by the sample suspended in more copper oxide, and backed by an oxidised copper spiral, 50 mm. in length. 

A layer of 25 mm. of powder-form copper oxide is now added. 

Its purpose is twofold first of all to prevent any particles of the analysis sample, which is to be added next, from percolating through the coarse porous w ire-form " copper oxide and so into that portion of the tube heated by the furnace and secondly as a heat insulator, to present the sample being heated too rapidly by the nearby furnace. Both these safeguards are required, as otherwise some portion of the sample would be decomposed as soon as the furnace was sw-itched on the nitrogen so produced would be carried away during the initial sweeping of the air out of the tube with the carbon dioxide stream, and would not be collected. Low results w ould thus be obtained. 

It has been stated that many halogen-free compounds, e.g., certain derivatives of pyridine and quinoline, purines, acid amides and cyano compounds, when ignited on copper oxide impart a green colour to the dame, presumably owing to the formation of volatile cuprous cyanide. The test is therefore not always trustworthy. The test is not given by duorides. 

It difiers from the cof per. chromium oxide catalyst described in Section VI,6 in that it has not been extracted with 10 per cent, acetic acid—a process which presumably removes some copper oxide. 

N-Phenylanthranilic acid may be prepared by the action of aniline upon c-chlorobenzoic acid in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate and a little copper oxide ... 

Copper oxide powder, prepared by grinding copper oxide (wire form), is heated to dull redness in a porcelain basin, allowed to cool partially in the air and finally in a desiccator. 

Thiazole acid chlorides react with diazomethane to give the diazoketone. The later reacts with alcoholic hydrogen chloride to give chloroacetylthiazole (Scheme 16). However, the Wolff rearrangement of the diazoketone is not consistently satisfactory (82). Heated with alcohol in the presence of copper oxide the 5-diazomethylketone (24) gives ethyl 5-thiazoleacetate (25) instead of the expected ethoxymethyl 5-thiazolyl ketone (Scheme 17) (83). 

Cuprous chloride, acid (for gas analysis, absorption of CO) cover the bottom of a 2-liter bottle with a layer of copper oxide % inch deep, and place a bundle of copper wire an inch thick in the bottle so that it extends from the top to the bottom. Fill the bottle with HCl (sp. gr. 1.10). The bottle is shaken occasionally, and when the solution is colorless or nearly so, it is poured into half-liter bottles containing copper wire. The large bottle may be filled with hydrochloric acid, and by adding the oxide or wire when either is exhausted, a constant supply of the reagent is available. 

One other very important attribute of photoemitted electrons is the dependence of their kinetic energy on chemical environment of the atom from which they originate. This feature of the photoemission process is called the chemical shift of and is the basis for chemical information about the sample. In fact, this feature of the xps experiment, first observed by Siegbahn in 1958 for a copper oxide ovedayer on a copper surface, led to his original nomenclature for this technique of electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis or esca. 

Reduction. Acetaldehyde is readily reduced to ethanol (qv). Suitable catalysts for vapor-phase hydrogenation of acetaldehyde are supported nickel (42) and copper oxide (43). The kinetics of the hydrogenation of acetaldehyde over a commercial nickel catalyst have been studied (44).
