Cyanogen systems

Cyanogen Systems. The cyanogen systems have proved to be very interesting and are an obvious source of many products which probably have not been seen previously. Unfortunately the C—N—F and the...

The cyanogen evolved in this reaction should be led into a flue with good suction draft. It may be burned if a trap is placed in the system to allow the moisture to condense. 

Carbon monoxide cyanogen, hydrogen cyanide nitrites arsine aniline, dimethyl aniline, toluidine nitrobenzene hydrogen sulphide (causes respiratory paralysis by impairment of oxygen utilization in the central nervous system). 

Any discussion of the prebiotic phosphorylation of nucleosides must take into account the probably neutral or alkaline conditions in a prebiotic environment. Some model phosphorylating systems have been studied, for example, the synthesis of /S-o-ribofuranose 1-phosphate from ribose and inorganic phosphate in the presence of cyanogen. Sodium trimetaphosphate will phosphorylate cw-glycols in good yield under alkaline... 

Cyanide and thiocyanate anions in aqueous solution can be determined as cyanogen bromide after reaction with bromine [686]. The thiocyanate anion can be quantitatively determined in the presence of cyanide by adding an excess of formaldehyde solution to the sample, which converts the cyanide ion to the unreactive cyanohydrin. The detection limits for the cyanide and thiocyanate anions were less than 0.01 ppm with an electron-capture detector. Iodine in acid solution reacts with acetone to form monoiodoacetone, which can be detected at high sensitivity with an electron-capture detector [687]. The reaction is specific for iodine, iodide being determined after oxidation with iodate. The nitrate anion can be determined in aqueous solution after conversion to nitrobenzene by reaction with benzene in the presence of sulfuric acid [688,689]. The detection limit for the nitrate anion was less than 0.1 ppm. The nitrite anion can be determined after oxidation to nitrate with potassium permanganate. Nitrite can be determined directly by alkylation with an alkaline solution of pentafluorobenzyl bromide [690]. The yield of derivative was about 80t.with a detection limit of 0.46 ng in 0.1 ml of aqueous sample. Pentafluorobenzyl p-toluenesulfonate has been used to derivatize carboxylate and phenolate anions and to simultaneously derivatize bromide, iodide, cyanide, thiocyanate, nitrite, nitrate and sulfide in a two-phase system using tetrapentylammonium cWoride as a phase transfer catalyst [691]. Detection limits wer Hi the ppm range. 

In the blast furnace, the reaction of the nitrogen in the blast with coke leads to the formation of poisonous chemicals such as hydrogen cyanide and cyanogens, and each cubic meter of the blast furnace gas contains from 200 to 2000 mg of these compounds. The blast furnace gas is scrubbed with water in the dust collection system the cyanide compounds dissolve in the water, which is then discharged after the compounds have been destroyed. Another poisonous emission in blast furnace operations is hydrogen sulfide. The sulfur present in the coke is converted into calcium sulfide in the slag, the water-quenching of... 

The imidazole ring system provides the nucleus for two diuretic agents with structures unusual for that activity. Reaction of the N-cyanoaniline 140 (obtainable from the aniline (139) and cyanogen bromide) with N-methylchloroacetamide leads to the heterocycle 142. The sequence can be rationalized by...
