Dichloromethane hydrogenation

The gas phase chlorination of methane is a reaction of industrial importance and leads to a mixture of chloromethane (CH3CI) dichloromethane (CH2CI2) trichloromethane (CHCI3) and tetrachloromethane (CCI4) by sequential substitution of hydrogens... 

In 1973 the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Institute (SEMI) held its first standards meeting. SEMI standards are voluntary consensus specifications developed by the producers, users, and general interest groups in the semiconductor (qv) industry. Examples of electronic chemicals are glacial acetic acid [64-19-7] acetone [67-64-17, ammonium fluoride [12125-01 -8] and ammonium hydroxide [1336-21 -6] (see Ammonium compounds), dichloromethane [75-09-2] (see Cm.OROCARBONSANDcm.OROHYDROCARBONs), hydrofluoric acid [7664-39-3] (see Eluorine compounds, inorganic), 30% hydrogen peroxide (qv) [7722-84-1] methanol (qv) [67-56-1] nitric acid (qv) [7697-37-2] 2-propanoI [67-63-0] (see Propyl alcohols), sulfuric acid [7664-93-9] tetrachloroethane [127-18-4] toluene (qv) [108-88-3] and xylenes (qv) (see also Electronic materials). 

A. 2-f2-Bmmoetkyl)-l,3-diozane (1), A 2-L, three-necked flask Is equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer, and gas Inlet tube. In the flask are placed 750 ml of dichloromethane, 112 g (2.00 moll of acrolein (Note 1), and 0.10 g of didnnamalacetone Indicator (Note 2) under nitrogen. The yellow solution is cooled to 0-5°C with an Ice bath. Gaseous hydrogen bromide (Note 3) is bubbled Into the solution with stirring until the Indicator becomes deep red (Note 4). The Ice bath is removed and 1.0 g of p-toluene-sulfonic acid monohydrate and 152.2 g (2.00 mol, 144 mL) of 1,3-propanediol (Note 11 are added. The yellow solution is stirred at room temperature for 8... 

The preparations are much simplified if a stoichiometric amount of hydrogen halide is added using an indicator to determine the end point. We have found that 1,9-diphenylnona-1,3,6,8-tetraen-5-one (dicinnamalacetone) is of appropriate basicity to detect excess anhydrous hydrogen halides in organic solvents including chloroform, dichloromethane, benzene, toluene, acetic acid, and acetone (but not in alcohols). The reaction between the... 

Amines can also be purified via their salts, e.g. hydrochlorides. A solution of the amine in dry toluene, diethyl ether, dichloromethane or chloroform is saturated with dry hydrogen chloride (generated by addition of concentrated sulfuric acid to dry sodium chloride, or to concentrated HCl followed by drying the gas through sulfuric acid, or from a hydrogen chloride cylinder) and the insoluble hydrochloride is filte off and dissolved in water. The solution is made alkaline and the amine is extracted, as above. Hydrochlorides can also be prepared by dissolving the amine in ethanolic HCl and adding diethyl ether or petroleum ether. Where... 

NBS can also be used to brominate alkanes. For example, cyclopropane, cyclopentane, and cyclohexane give the corresponding bromides when irradiated in a solution of NBS in dichloromethane. Under these conditions, the succinimidyl radical appears to be involved as the hydrogen-abstracting intermediate ... 

In extending this direct method of synthesis, we next investigated the possibility of preparing similarly constituted halides from 2-deoxy-D-arabino-hexose (2-deoxy-D-glucose) (21). The hexose was subjected to a partial anomerization procedure described by Bergmann and co-workers (1). The solid material obtained by this procedure is a mixture of the anomeric forms of 2-deoxy-D-arabino-hexose low temperature p-nitro-benzoylation of the latter in pyridine resulted in a mixture of crystalline, anomeric tetrakis-p-nitrobenzoates in a ratio of approximately 1 1. They were readily separable by fractional recrystallization, and treatment of either with an excess of hydrogen bromide in dichloromethane, or with... 

The second major discovery regarding the use of MTO as an epoxidation catalyst came in 1996, when Sharpless and coworkers reported on the use of substoichio-metric amounts of pyridine as a co-catalyst in the system [103]. A change of solvent from tert-butanol to dichloromethane and the introduction of 12 mol% of pyridine even allowed the synthesis of very sensitive epoxides with aqueous hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant. A significant rate acceleration was also observed for the epoxidation reaction performed in the presence of pyridine. This discovery was the first example of an efficient MTO-based system for epoxidation under neutral to basic conditions. Under these conditions the detrimental acid-induced decomposition of the epoxide is effectively avoided. With this novel system, a variety of... 

A solution of the trimethylsilyl enol ether of propionyl trimethylsilane (5 mmol) (Chapter 12) and benzaldehyde diethyl acetal (5 mmol) in dichloromethane (10ml) was added to a solution of BF3.OEt2 (5 mmol) in dichloromethane (5ml), cooled to —78 C. After being stirred for lh at -78°C and 2h at -30°C, the mixture was quenched with excess saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and extracted with ether. Concentration and distillation gave the product -ethoxy acylsilane, (4.6mmol, 95%). b.p. 105-106 C/2mmHg. Treatment of this alkoxy...
