Cyanate determination

For colorimetric or gravimetric determination l-nitroso-2-naphthol can be used. For chromatographic ion exchange (qv), cobalt is isolated as the nitroso-(R)-salt complex. The cyanate complex is used for photometric determination and the thiocyanate for colorimetry. A rapid chemical analysis of... 

Determination of cobalt as cobalt tetrathiocyanatomercurate(II) (mercurithio-cyanate) Discussion. This method is based upon the fact that cobalt (II) in almost neutral solution forms a blue complex salt Co [ Hg( SCN )4] with a reagent... 

It is worth noting that the partide sizes of samples prepared by the urea hydrolysis method are larger than other LDHs. Such a finding can be rationalized by considering the slow hydrolysis of urea [61], since it can be classified as a very weak Bronsted base (pfCb= 13.8). Its hydrolysis mechanism consists of the formation of ammonium cyanate as the rate-determining step, followed by fast hydrolysis of the cyanate to ammonium carbonate ... 

Now that we have determined that structure I is correct for the cyanate ion, we still need to consider resonance structures. In keeping with the rules given earlier, the acceptable resonance structures that can be devised are...

The fluorine content for the fluoromethylene cyanate ester resin system is clearly significantly greater than that for AroCy F and also significantly less than that for PTFE (76.0%). Correspondingly, the density reflects the fluorine content. As a homologous series, the contribution of incremental CF2 units can be quantified. From the density data, the volume equivalent of 41. 0 A1 /CF, structural unit in an amorphous thermoset matrix has been determined.8... 

The surface properties are of particular interest for composites and coatings. The n = 6 monomer will wet Teflon, and PTFE filled composites can be prepared. The critical surface tension of wetting for the fluoromethylene cyanate ester resin series has been determined from contact-angle measurements on cured resin surfaces. As indicated in Table 2.2, it parallels the fluorine composition and begins to approach the PTFE value of 18 dyn/cm. 

Low detection limits (low ng/mL) have been achieved using a headspace/gas chromatographic (GC) technique (Seto et al. 1993). The sample is acidified and incubated, and the headspace analyzed by GC with a nitrogen-specific detector (NPD) (Carseal et al. 1993 Levin et al. 1990 Seto et al. 1993). Reported recovery is good (>90%) (Carseal et al. 1993), and precision is good as well (<15% RSD) (Carseal et al. 1993 Levin et al. 1990 Seto et al. 1993). Blood samples may be treated with chloramine T priorto incubation to produce a derivative which can be determined by GC with electron capture detection (ECD). Cyanate and thiocyanate do not interfere in this method (Odoul et al. 1994). The detection limit is 5 pg/L (ppb) precision is good (<15% RSD) (Odoul et al. 1994). 

Again, a hnear relationship of and [CNS] i shows a bimolecular reaction between the excited triplet state of 1 and the nucleophile to take place. The triplet lifetime of la is 4.7 X 10 s in water and 1.2xl0 8s in aqueous 10 2M solutions of potassium cyanide as determined from quenching studies The nitro group in 7 a is likewise replaced photochemically by methoxide and cyanate ions. 

Subsequently, it was shown that the reaction was catalyzed by base (48M(79)106). Dicyandiamide reacts with nitriles (the most valuable method), amidines, cyanamides, ammonia, cyanates, thiocyanates, carboxylic acids and anhydrides to yield 1,3,5-triazines (Table 13). This synthetic route has been reviewed thoroughly several times (59HC(13)1, p. 219,61MI22000, p. 650, 73ZC408). The base-catalyzed reaction of dicyandiamide with alkyl or aryl nitriles (Scheme 65) proceeds via the imino ether anion and the rate determining step is solvent dependent. In DMSO the formation of the imino ether is rate determining, but in 2-methoxyethanol the reaction between the anion and dicyandiamide controls the rate (66T157). 

Silver fulminate was recognized by Gay-Lussac16 to have the same composition as silver cyanate, thus providing the first example of isomerism. Two polymorphs of silver fulminate are known and their structures have been determined.17 Silver fulminate is regarded as a poor detonator due to its dangerous sensitivity this may depend on the presence or absence of the second form.17... 

The effect of curing on the diffusion of polymer and the curing agent is studied for the system of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (R-45-M)/isophorone disso-cyanate (IPDI). Both components contribute to the echo intensity and the plot of In P(x)/I(0)] vs (G5)2 (A — 5/3) consists of two exponentials (Eq. (22)) the fast component (the steep intial slope) is attributed to the IPDI, and the long component to the R-45-M. The dependence of both diffusion constants on the curing time is shown in Fig. 19. The accuracy for Dfast data is less pronounced than for the polymer D(Mn), because only the first few data points are relevant for its determination. Furthermore, the low tail of the R-45-M molecular weight distribution nearly coin-... 

The Cyanation Reaction. Three examples of the cyanation reaction and the general procedure for the determination of the relative rates are reported below. 

Cyanation of 1-Chloronaphthalene in the Presence of Tris(tri-phenylphosphine) nickel. 1-Chloronaphthalene (3.6 grams, 22.3 mmole), Ni[P(C6H5)3]3 (0.75 gram, 0.89 mmole), and ethanol (40 ml) were stirred and warmed up to 60°C. NaCN (1.1 grams, 22.3 mmole) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 3 hrs at 60 °C. The reaction mixture was partitioned between water and diethyl ether. The ether extract contained 1-cyanonaphthalene (3.06 grams, 90% ). The yield was determined by GLC with acetophenone as internal standard. 

Influence of the Substituent on the Aromatic Halides on the Rate of Cyanation. The experimental conditions of cyanation, the presence of a solid component slightly soluble (NaCN), or the need of a slow addition of the source of cyanide ion did not allow a rigorous kinetic study of the reaction. However we determined the influence of substituents on the aromatic halides on the rate of cyanation by competitive reactions. The rates relative to chlorobenzene are compared in Table VII.

For certain formulations one of the components may crystallize upon cooling (e.g., certain bismaleimides, cyanates, etc.). In these cases, a thermal quench in liquid nitrogen may avoid crystallization, enabling the determination of Tg0 in a subsequent scan. 

Often, greater accuracy may be obtained, as in Volhard type titration, by performing a back titration of the excess silver ions. In such a case, a measured amount of standard silver nitrate solution is added in excess to a measured amount of sample. The excess Ag+ that remains after it reacts with the analyte is then measured by back titration with standard potassium thiocyanate (KSCN). If the silver salt of the analyte ion is more soluble than silver thiocyanate (AgSCN), the former should be filtered off from the solution. Otherwise, a low value error can occur due to overconsumption of thiocyanate ion. Thus, for the determination of ions (such as cyanide, carbonate, chromate, chloride, oxalate, phosphate, and sulfide, the silver salts of which are all more soluble than AgSCN), remove the silver salts before the back titration of excess Ag.+ On the other hand, such removal of silver salt is not necesary in the Volhard titration for ions such as bromide, iodide, cyanate, thiocyanate, and arsenate, because the silver salts of these ions are less soluble than AgSCN, and will not cause ary error. In the determination of chloride by Volhard titration, the solution should be made strongly acidic to prevent interference from carbonate, oxalate, and arsenate, while for bromide and iodide analysis titration is carried out in neutral media. 

The corresponding /i-amino aldehydes are reduced in situ and the corresponding amino alcohols are isolated in good yield with up to >99 % ee. The Mannich reactions proceed with excellent chemoselectivity and inline formation occurs with the acceptor aldehyde at a faster rate than C-C bond-formation. Moreover, the one-pot three-component direct asymmetric cross-Mannich reaction enables aliphatic aldehydes to serve as acceptors. The absolute stereochemistry of the reaction was determined by synthesis and reveled that L-proline provides syn /i-amino aldehydes with (S) stereochemistry of the amino group. In addition, the proline-catalyzed direct asymmetric Mannich-type reaction has been connected to one-pot tandem cyanation and allylation reaction in THF and aqueous media affording functional a-amino acid derivatives [39, 42].
