Reactivity and Incompatibility Sodium azide should not be allowed to come into contact with heavy metals or their salts, because it may react to form heavy metal azides, which are notorious shock-sensitive explosives. Do not pour sodium azide solutions into a copper or lead drain. Sodium azide reacts violently with carbon disulfide, bromine, nitric acid, dimethyl sulfate, and a number of heavy metals, including copper and lead. Reaction with water and acids liberates highly toxic hydrazoic acid, which is a dangerous explosive. Sodium azide is reported to react with CH2CI2 in the presence of DMSO to form explosive products. 

Europeans—dyed their hair red with soap. (The soap may have just taken dirt off a naturally red-headed people). And Pliny did strive to be comprehensive. He recorded processes involving metals, salts, sulfur, glass, mortar, soot, ash, and a large variety of chalks, earths, and stones. He describes the manufacture of charcoal the enrichment of the soil with lime, ashes, and manure the production of wines and vinegar varieties of mineral waters plants of medical or chemical interest and types of marble, gems and precious stones. He discusses some simple chemical reactions, such as the preparation of lead and copper sulfate, the use of salt to form silver chloride, and a crude indicator paper in the form of papyrus strips soaked in an extract of oak galls that changed color when dipped in solutions of blue vitriol (copper sulfate) contaminated with iron. 

To a mixture of 100 ml of THF and 0.10 mol of the epoxide (note 1) was added 0.5 g Of copper(I) bromide. A solution of phenylmagnesium bromide (prepared from 0.18 mol of bromobenzene, see Chapter II, Exp. 5) in 130 ml of THF was added drop-wise in 20 min at 20-30°C. After an additional 30 min the black reaction mixture was hydrolysed with a solution of 2 g of NaCN or KCN and 20 g of ammonium chloride in 150 ml of water. The aqueous layer was extracted three times with diethyl ether. The combined organic solutions were washed with water and dried over magnesium sulfate. The residue obtained after concentration of the solution in a water-pump vacuum was distilled through a short column, giving the allenic alcohol, b.p. 100°C/0.2 mmHg, n. 1.5705, in 75% yield. 

Butyl Ether. -Butyl ether is prepared by dehydration of -butyl alcohol by sulfuric acid or by catalytic dehydration over ferric chloride, copper sulfate, siUca, or alumina at high temperatures. It is an important solvent for Grignard reagents and other reactions that require an anhydrous, inert medium. -Butyl ether is also an excellent extracting agent for use with aqueous systems owing to its very low water-solubiUty.

FIGURE D.l Blue crystals of copper(ll) sulfate pentahydrate (CuS04 5H20) lose water above 150°C and form the white anhydrous powder (CuS04) seen in this petri dish. The color is restored when water is added and, in fact, anhydrous copper sulfate has such a strong attraction for water that it is usually colored a very pale blue from reaction with the water in air. 

The reactivities of potassium and silver with water represent extremes in the spontaneity of electron-transfer reactions. The redox reaction between two other metals illustrates less drastic differences in reactivity. Figure 19-5 shows the reaction that occurs between zinc metal and an aqueous solution of copper(II) sulfate zinc slowly dissolves, and copper metal precipitates. This spontaneous reaction has a negative standard free energy change, as does the reaction of potassium with water ... 

As examples of some water-soluble salts, mention may be made of potassium chloride, copper sulfate, and sodium vanadate. As examples of some water-insoluble salts, mention may be made of some typical ones such as lead chloride, silver chloride, lead sulfate, and calcium sulfate. The solubilities of most salts increases with increasing temperature. Some salts possess solubilities that vary very little with temperature or even decline. An interesting example is provided by ferrous sulfate, the water solubility of which increases as temperature is raised from room temperature, remains fairly constant between 57 and 67 °C, and decreases at higher temperatures to below 12 g l-1 at 120 °C. Table 5.2 presents the different types of dissolution reactions in aqueous solutions, and Table 5.3 in an indicative way presents the wide and varied types of raw materials that different leaching systems treat. It will be relevant to have a look at Table 5.4 which captures some of the essential and desirable features for a successful leaching system. 

It has been found that the combination of Lewis acids and surfactants is particularly effective for catalyzing Diels-Alder reactions in water. The effect of micelles of SDS, CTAB, dodecyl heptaoxyethy-lene ether (Q2E7), and copper and zinc didodecyl sulfate [M(DSb] on the Diels-Alder reaction of 3-(p-substituted phenyl)- l-(2-pyridyl)-2-propen-l-ones (Figure 12.1) with cyclopentadiene was studied. 

Zinc powder, obtainable from Mallinckrodt Chemical Works, St. Louis, Missouri, and Merck and Co., Rahway, New Jersey, is placed in a beaker and is washed consecutively and rapidly ( 10 seconds) with three 100-ml. portions of 3% hydrochloric acid, two 100-ml. portions of water, two 200-ml. portions of 2% aqueous copper sulfate (until blue color disappears), two 200-ml. portions of water, two 100-ml. portions of acetone, two 100-ml. portions of dimethylformamide, and is washed into the reaction vessel with dimethylformamide. This procedure is a modification of one described by Hennion and Sheehan.3... 

Zinc dust is frequently covered with a thin layer of zinc oxide which deactivates its surface and causes induction periods in reactions with compounds. This disadvantage can be removed by a proper activation of zinc dust immediately prior to use. Such an activation can be achieved by a 3-4-minute contact with very dilute (0.5-2%) hydrochloric acid followed by washing with water, ethanol, acetone and ether [/55]. Similar activation is carried out in situ by a small amount of anhydrous zinc chloride [156 or zinc bromide [157 in alcohol, ether or tetrahydrofuran. Another way of activating zinc dust is by its conversion to a zinc-copper couple by stirring it (180g) with a solution of 1 g of copper sulfate pentahydrate in 35 ml of water [/55]. 

The formation of water, detected by the copper sulfate test, may be consistent with the above scheme. The decreasing yield of cyclohexene oxide with decreasing oxygen concentration suggests that cyclohexene oxide could be formed from the direct reaction of cyclohexene with... 

One of the earliest references to a reaction in solution, which, as we now realize, depends upon the formation of a coordination compound, was recorded by Pliny who stated that the adulteration of copper sulfate by iron sulfate could be detected by testing with a strip of papyrus soaked in gall-nuts, when a black colour developed if iron were present. A. Libavius (1540-1616) noted how ammmonia present in water could be detected by the blue colour formed with a copper salt and A. Jacquelain (1846) actually determined copper salts in terms of the blue colour formed on adding ammonia. Later developments used coordination compounds formed from ethylenediamine and other polyamines.3 T. J. Herapath determined iron(III) as its red isothiocyanate complex in 1852 and the basic procedure is used today.3... 

Reactions with copper(n) sulfate-5-water and sugar. 

To a solution of 1.14 g of 3-methyl-trans-4a-cisoid-4a,5a-cis-5a-l,4a,5,5a,10b,10c-hexahydro-7-dioxino[5,4-a]cyclopenta[b]benzofuranyl-methanol in 10 ml of dimethoxyethane cooled in an ice bath was added 0.43 ml of anhydrous pyridine and 0.38 ml ofthionyl chloride, and the mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. After addition of ether to the reaction mixture, the precipitate was filtered, and water was added to the filtrate and the mixture was extracted three times with ether. The extract was washed with aqueous saturated solution of copper sulfate, water, aqueous saturated solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried, and concentrated to give 1.2 g of crude crystals. The crude crystals were recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to yield 1 g of the pure titled chloride (m.p. 94-95°C, yield 83%). 

The only way we can get the oxidation of the metal to continue is to couple it with some other process that restores electroneutrality to the two phases. A simple way to accomplish this would be to immerse the zinc in a solution of copper sulfate instead of pure water. As you will recall if you have seen this commonly-performed experiment carried out, the zinc metal quickly becomes covered with a black coating of finely-divided metallic copper. The reaction is a simple oxidation-reduction process, a transfer of two electrons from the zinc to the copper ...
