The monoisobutyrate ester of trimethylpentanediol is especially useful as a coalescing aid in flat and semigloss (48) latex pain formulations (see Paint). This product is commercially available from Eastman as Texanol ester alcohol. 

Donoi—acceptoi chromogens in solution are often strongly affected by the nature of the solvent or the resinous substrate in which they are dissolved. The more polar the solvent or resin, the longer the wavelength of the fluorescent light emitted. Progressing from less polar to more polar solvents, the bathochromic, or reddening, effect of the solvents on the dye increases in the order of aUphatics < aromatics < esters < alcohols < amides. 

Transesterification of methyl methacrylate with the appropriate alcohol is often the preferred method of preparing higher alkyl and functional methacrylates. The reaction is driven to completion by the use of excess methyl methacrylate and by removal of the methyl methacrylate—methanol a2eotrope. A variety of catalysts have been used, including acids and bases and transition-metal compounds such as dialkjitin oxides (57), titanium(IV) alkoxides (58), and zirconium acetoacetate (59). The use of the transition-metal catalysts allows reaction under nearly neutral conditions and is therefore more tolerant of sensitive functionality in the ester alcohol moiety. In addition, transition-metal catalysts often exhibit higher selectivities than acidic catalysts, particularly with respect to by-product ether formation. 

Other processing aids utilized in tires are vegetable oils (fatty acids, fatty acid esters/alcohols, and metal salts of these oils), naturally occurring resins such as pine tar, hydrocarbon resins from petroleum stUlbottoms, and vulcanized vegetable oils (WOs). WOs were utilized heavily in the early 1900s, but are no longer used extensively in tires. 

The equihbrium shown in equation 3 normally ties far to the left. Usually the water formed is removed by azeotropic distillation with excess alcohol or a suitable azeotroping solvent such as benzene, toluene, or various petroleum distillate fractions. The procedure used depends on the specific ester desired. Preparation of methyl borate and ethyl borate is compHcated by the formation of low boiling azeotropes (Table 1) which are the lowest boiling constituents in these systems. Consequently, the ester—alcohol azeotrope must be prepared and then separated in another step. Some of the methods that have been used to separate methyl borate from the azeotrope are extraction with sulfuric acid and distillation of the enriched phase (18), treatment with calcium chloride or lithium chloride (19,20), washing with a hydrocarbon and distillation (21), fractional distillation at 709 kPa (7 atmospheres) (22), and addition of a third component that will form a low boiling methanol azeotrope (23). 

Acidic Hydrolysis. Hydrolysis of esters by use of water and a mineral acid leads to an equiUbrium mixture of ester, alcohol, and free carboxyHc acid. Complete reaction can only be achieved by removal of alcohol or acid from the equiUbrium. Because esters have poor solubiUty in water, the reaction rate in dilute acids is fairly low. Therefore, emulsifiers such as sulfonated oleic acid or sulfonated aromatic compounds (TwitcheU reagent) are added to facihtate the reaction. 

After washing the ether-benzene layer, the solvents are eliminated in vacuo and an ester-alcohol is thus obtained with a yield of 98%, in the form of a transparent resin. This resin, if treated with petroleum ether, yields 6.35 g of ester-alcohol in the form of fine needles (MP = 66.68°C) which are very soluble in the chief organic solvents and in petroleum ether.

In an effort to make productive use of the undesired C-13 epimer, 100-/ , a process was developed to convert it into the desired isomer 100. To this end, reaction of the lactone enolate derived from 100-) with phenylselenenyl bromide produces an a-selenated lactone which can subsequently be converted to a,) -unsaturated lactone 148 through oxidative syn elimination (91 % overall yield). Interestingly, when 148 is treated sequentially with lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and methanol, the double bond of the unsaturated lactone is shifted, the lactone ring is cleaved, and ) ,y-unsaturated methyl ester alcohol 149 is formed in 94% yield. In light of the constitution of compound 149, we were hopeful that a hydroxyl-directed hydrogenation52 of the trisubstituted double bond might proceed diastereoselectively in the desired direction In the event, however, hydrogenation of 149 in the presence of [Ir(COD)(py)P(Cy)3](PF6)53 produces an equimolar mixture of C-13 epimers in 80 % yield. Sequential methyl ester saponification and lactonization reactions then furnish a separable 1 1 mixture of lactones 100 and 100-) (72% overall yield from 149). 

Another difference between diese catalysts is found in dieir functional group tolerance. Catalysts such as 12 are more robust to most functionalities (except sulfur and phosphorus), moisture, oxygen, and impurities, enabling them to easily polymerize dienes containing functional groups such as esters, alcohols, and ketones.9 On die other hand, catalyst 14 is more tolerant of sulfur-based functionalities.7 The researcher must choose die appropriate catalyst by considering the chemical interactions between monomer and catalyst as well as the reaction conditions needed.

Another important argument for the use of the organic solvent is the reverse hydrolytic reactions that become feasible [61,75]. The inhibition of the biocatalyst can be reduced, since the substrate is initially concentrated in the organic phase and inhibitory products can be removed from the aqueous phase. This transfer can shift the apparent reaction equilibrium [28,62] and facilitates the product recovery from the organic phase [20,29,33]. A wide range of organic solvents can be used in bioreactors, such as alkanes, alkenes, esters, alcohols, ethers, perfluorocarbons, etc. (Table 1).

Parathion is very slightly soluble in water (20 parts per million), but is completely miscible in many organic solvents including esters, alcohols, ketones, ethers, aromatic and alkylated aromatic hydrocarbons, and animal and vegetable oils. It is practically insoluble in such paraffinic hydrocarbons as petroleum ether, kerosene, and refined spray oils (about 2%) unless a mutual solvent is used (1).

The efficiency of the extraction depends on the coordinating ability of the solvent, and on the acidity of the aqueous solution which determines the concentration of the metal complex. Coordinating ability follows the sequence ketones > esters > alcohols > ethers. Many metals can be extracted as fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide or thiocyanate complexes. Table 4.5 shows how the extraction of some metals as their chloro complexes into diethyl ether varies with acid concentration. By controlling... 

Typically, solvents are screened to identify one that gives optimal results. Assuming that the substrate and catalyst are soluble, solvent polarities varying from alkanes, aromatics, halogenated, ethers, acetonitrile, esters, alcohols, dipolar aprotic to water have been used. An example of this, using a ketone and the rhodium cp TsDPEN catalyst, is shown in Table 35.3. Further optimization of this reaction improved the enantiomeric excess to 98%. A second example involved the reduction of 4-fluoroacetophenone in this case the enantioselectivity was largely unaffected but the rate of reduction changed markedly with solvent. Development of this process improved the optical purity to 98.5% e.e.
