Table I shows the effects of Mel/DME and CO/DME ratios in the feed gas on product yields. With increasing Mel/DME ratio both methyl acetate yield and selectivity increased. The yield of methyl acetate increased with an increase in the CO/DME ratio whereas its selectivity decreased. In the case of methanol carbonylation on Ni/A.C. catalyst, the product yield and selectivity were strongly affected by CO/MeOH ratio but not by Mel/MeOH ratio (14-16). The promoting effect of methyl iodide on the methanol carbonylation reached a maximum at a very low partial pressure, that is 0.1 atm or lower. However, both CO/DME and Mel/DME ratios were important for regulating the product yield and selectivity of the dimethyl ether carbonylation. This suggests that the two steps, namely, the dissociative adsorption of methyl iodide on nickel (Equation 4) and the insertion of CO (Equation 5) are slow in the case of dimethyl ether reaction.

Dimethyl ditellurium is formed when methyl radicals, generated by thermal decomposition of methane butane, diethyl ether, or dimethyl ether interact with tellurium mirrors. Because dimethyl ditellurium can be prepared more conveniently by other methods, these reactions are not of synthetic importance. However, this reaction is one of the two ways to prepare bis[trifluoromethyl] ditellurium. Thus, this compound was prepared through interaction of trifluoromethyl radicals with tellurium tetrachloride , tellurium tetrabromide " or tellurium "... 

Synthesis of nitriles (2, 70). Lohaus has published two procedures which illustrate the use of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate for the preparation of nitriles. One, the preparation of 2,4-dimethoxybenzonitrile,8 illustrates the reaction of the reagent with aromatic compounds that readily undergo electrophilic substitution. Thus reaction of resorcinol dimethyl ether (1) with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate in methylene chloride gives the amide N-sulfonyl chloride (2), which on treatment with an amide9 gives 2,4-dimethoxybenzonitrile (3) in 95-96% yield with a purity of 98%. 

Another reaction involving an SCF/PTC system is an esterification reaction [22] where the primary role of the SCF is to solubilize an intermediate product to prevent the overreaction to an unwanted byproduct. In this system (Scheme 4.10-3) an insoluble aromatic carboxylic acid 4 with a second reactive functional group is esterified at elevated temperature in supercritical dimethyl ether (scDME) with ethylene oxide 5, which is soluble in the fluid phase, in the presence of a thermally stable and insoluble phase-transfer catalyst. When esterification occurs, the product ester 6 is then soluble in the SCF and is pulled away from the site of reaction and trapped before the second functional group can be altered. Experimental data for this work were obtained using a modified Hewlett-Packard supercritical fluid extractor. This is an example of a PTC reaction where an intermediate product is desired, and the SCF system is designed to obtain only that intermediate.

The products of the reaction of sihcon atoms with dimethyl ether and with methanol in an argon matrix have been assigned with the aid of B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) studies. A step-wise mechanism for the formation of Si-OMc2, Si 0(H)Me, MeOSiMe, Mc2Si = 0, l-methyl-2-oxa-l-silirane, MeOSiH and oxasilirane has been identified. 

Di-alkyl ethers of ethylene glycol, ROCHjCHjOR. The dimethyl ether, b.p. 85°/760 mm., is miscible with water, is a good solvent for organic compounds, and is an excellent inert reaction medium. The diethyl ether (diethyl cdloaolve), b.p. 121-57760 mm., is partially miscible with water (21 per cent, at 20°). 

The formation of the above anions ("enolate type) depend on equilibria between the carbon compounds, the base, and the solvent. To ensure a substantial concentration of the anionic synthons in solution the pA" of both the conjugated acid of the base and of the solvent must be higher than the pAT -value of the carbon compound. Alkali hydroxides in water (p/T, 16), alkoxides in the corresponding alcohols (pAT, 20), sodium amide in liquid ammonia (pATj 35), dimsyl sodium in dimethyl sulfoxide (pAT, = 35), sodium hydride, lithium amides, or lithium alkyls in ether or hydrocarbon solvents (pAT, > 40) are common combinations used in synthesis. Sometimes the bases (e.g. methoxides, amides, lithium alkyls) react as nucleophiles, in other words they do not abstract a proton, but their anion undergoes addition and substitution reactions with the carbon compound. If such is the case, sterically hindered bases are employed. A few examples are given below (H.O. House, 1972 I. Kuwajima, 1976). 

Acetaldehyde can be isolated and identified by the characteristic melting points of the crystalline compounds formed with hydrazines, semicarbazides, etc these derivatives of aldehydes can be separated by paper and column chromatography (104,113). Acetaldehyde has been separated quantitatively from other carbonyl compounds on an ion-exchange resin in the bisulfite form the aldehyde is then eluted from the column with a solution of sodium chloride (114). In larger quantities, acetaldehyde may be isolated by passing the vapor into ether, then saturating with dry ammonia acetaldehyde—ammonia crystallizes from the solution. Reactions with bisulfite, hydrazines, oximes, semicarb azides, and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione [126-81 -8] (dimedone) have also been used to isolate acetaldehyde from various solutions. 

The unit has virtually the same flow sheet (see Fig. 2) as that of methanol carbonylation to acetic acid (qv). Any water present in the methyl acetate feed is destroyed by recycle anhydride. Water impairs the catalyst. Carbonylation occurs in a sparged reactor, fitted with baffles to diminish entrainment of the catalyst-rich Hquid. Carbon monoxide is introduced at about 15—18 MPa from centrifugal, multistage compressors. Gaseous dimethyl ether from the reactor is recycled with the CO and occasional injections of methyl iodide and methyl acetate may be introduced. Near the end of the life of a catalyst charge, additional rhodium chloride, with or without a ligand, can be put into the system to increase anhydride production based on net noble metal introduced. The reaction is exothermic, thus no heat need be added and surplus heat can be recovered as low pressure steam. 

Tetrafluoroethylene Oxide TFEO has only been prepared by a process employing oxygen or ozone because of its extreme reactivity with ionic reagents. This reactivity may best be illustrated by its low temperature reaction with the weak nucleophile, dimethyl ether, to give either of two products (47) (eq. 10). 

Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is miscible in all proportions with water and is soluble in many polar organic solvents such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and acetonitrile. In addition, it is soluble in alcohols, ketones, ethers, and esters, but these generally are not suitably inert solvents. The acid reacts with ethyl ether to give a colorless, Hquid oxonium complex, which on further heating gives the ethyl ester and ethylene. Reaction with ethanol gives the ester, but in addition dehydration and ether formation occurs. 

Synthetic utility of stereoselective alkylations in natural product chemistry is exemplified by the preparation of optically active 2-arylglycine esters (38). Chirally specific a-amino acids with methoxyaryl groups attached to the a-carbon were prepared by reaction of the dimethyl ether of a chiral bis-lactam derivative with methoxy arenes. Using SnCl as the Lewis acid, enantioselectivities ranging from 65 to 95% were obtained. 

The equihbrium constant for this reaction is 1.029 at 25°C and reflux may be accompHshed by decomposing the complex with heat and by absorbing BF in anisole. This system, in contrast to the dimethyl ether—BE system, is a tme gas—Hquid exchange system and contains no associated complex in the gas phase (30). 

In 1932 a class of complexes consisting of ethers, sodium, and polycycHc hydrocarbons was discovered (19). Sodium reacts with naphthalene in dimethyl ether as solvent to form a soluble, dark-green, reactive complex. The solution is electrically conductive. The reaction has been described as follows...
