Chemical Properties and Industrial Uses. Chloroacetic acid has wide appHcations as an industrial chemical intermediate. Both the carboxyhc acid group and the cx-chlorine are very reactive. It readily forms esters and amides, and can undergo a variety of cx-chlorine substitutions. 

Chemical Properties. A combination of excellent chemical and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures result in high performance service in the chemical processing industry. Teflon PEA resins have been exposed to a variety of organic and inorganic compounds commonly encountered in chemical service (26). They are not attacked by inorganic acids, bases, halogens, metal salt solutions, organic acids, and anhydrides. Aromatic and ahphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, amines, esters, chlorinated compounds, and other polymer solvents have Httle effect. However, like other perfluorinated polymers,they react with alkah metals and elemental fluorine. 

Chemical Properties. Trimethylpentanediol, with a primary and a secondary hydroxyl group, enters into reactions characteristic of other glycols. It reacts readily with various carboxyUc acids and diacids to form esters, diesters, and polyesters (40). Some organometaUic catalysts have proven satisfactory for these reactions, the most versatile being dibutyltin oxide. Several weak bases such as triethanolamine, potassium acetate, lithium acetate, and borax are effective as stabilizers for the glycol during synthesis (41). 

Reactions. The chemical properties of cyanoacetates ate quite similar to those of the malonates. The carbonyl activity of the ester function is increased by the cyano group s tendency to withdraw electrons. Therefore, amidation with ammonia [7664-41-7] to cyanoacetamide [107-91-5] (55) or with urea to cyanoacetylurea [448-98-2] (56) proceeds very easily. An interesting reaction of cyanoacetic acid is the Knoevenagel condensation with aldehydes followed by decarboxylation which leads to substituted acrylonitriles (57) such as (29), or with ketones followed by decarboxylation with a shift of the double bond to give P,y-unsaturated nitriles (58) such as (30) when cyclohexanone [108-94-1] is used. 

The nature of the alkyl group from the esterifying alcohol, the molecular weight, and the tacticity determine the physical and chemical properties of methacrylate ester polymers. 

Chemical Properties. Alkyl peroxyesters are hydroly2ed more readily than the analogous nonperoxidic esters and yield the original acids and hydroperoxides from which they were prepared rather than alcohols and peroxyacids ... 

Chemical Properties The formation of salts with acids is the most characteristic reaction of amines. Since the amines are soluble in organic solvents and the salts are usually not soluble, acidic products can be conveniendy separated by the reaction with an amine, the unshared electron pair on the amine nitrogen acting as proton acceptor. Amines are good nucleophiles reactions of amines at the nitrogen atom have as a first step the formation of a bond with the unshared electron pair of nitrogen, eg, reactions with acid anhydrides, haUdes, and esters, with carbon dioxide or carbon disulfide, and with isocyanic or isothiocyanic acid derivatives. 

The corrosion behavior of tantalum is weU-documented (46). Technically, the excellent corrosion resistance of the metal reflects the chemical properties of the thermal oxide always present on the surface of the metal. This very adherent oxide layer makes tantalum one of the most corrosion-resistant metals to many chemicals at temperatures below 150°C. Tantalum is not attacked by most mineral acids, including aqua regia, perchloric acid, nitric acid, and concentrated sulfuric acid below 175°C. Tantalum is inert to most organic compounds organic acids, alcohols, ketones, esters, and phenols do not attack tantalum. 

Chemical Properties. Like neopentanoic acid, neodecanoic acid, C2QH2QO2, undergoes reactions typical of carboxyHc acids. For example, neodecanoic acid is used to prepare acid chlorides, amides (76), and esters (7,11,77,78), and, like neopentanoic acid, is reduced to give alcohols and alkanes (21,24). One area of reaction chemistry that is different from the acids is the preparation of metal salts. Both neopentanoic acid and neodecanoic acid, like all carboxyHc acids, can form metal salts. However, in commercial appHcations, metal salt formation is much more important for neodecanoic acid than it is for neopentanoic acid. 

Random copolymers of vinyl chloride and other monomers are important commercially. Most of these materials are produced by suspension or emulsion polymerization using free-radical initiators. Important producers for vinyl chloride—vinyUdene chloride copolymers include Borden, Inc. and Dow. These copolymers are used in specialized coatings appHcations because of their enhanced solubiUty and as extender resins in plastisols where rapid fusion is required (72). Another important class of materials are the vinyl chloride—vinyl acetate copolymers. Principal producers include Borden Chemicals Plastics, B. F. Goodrich Chemical, and Union Carbide. The copolymerization of vinyl chloride with vinyl acetate yields a material with improved processabihty compared with vinyl chloride homopolymer. However, the physical and chemical properties of the copolymers are different from those of the homopolymer PVC. Generally, as the vinyl acetate content increases, the resin solubiUty in ketone and ester solvents and its susceptibiUty to chemical attack increase, the resin viscosity and heat distortion temperature decrease, and the tensile strength and flexibiUty increase slightly. 

Two kinds of monomers are present in acryUc elastomers backbone monomers and cure-site monomers. Backbone monomers are acryUc esters that constitute the majority of the polymer chain (up to 99%), and determine the physical and chemical properties of the polymer and the performance of the vulcanizates. Cure-site monomers simultaneously present a double bond available for polymerization with acrylates and a moiety reactive with specific compounds in order to faciUtate the vulcanization process. 

The reactions of esters have been reviewed (11—15). Because of the large number of possible acid and alcohol moieties, the chemical properties of esters may differ considerably. Only typical reactions appHcable to the majority of esters are described in the following sections.

Chemical properties. As already stated, Petrin is an intermediate in the prepn of numerous mixed esters. Marans et al (Ref 2) prepd a series of Petrin-nitrobenzoate esters by reacting Petrin with the appropriate nitrobenzoyl chloride. They also prepd Petrin-formate, acetate, propionate, oxalate, glutarate, succinate, adipate, and phthalate. An especially important Petrin derivative is Petrin-acrylate. It is prepared by reacting Petrin with a mixt of acrylyl chloride and dimethylaniline (Ref 4)... 

The direct reaction of 1-alkenes with strong sulfonating agents leads to surface-active anionic mixtures containing both alkenesulfonates and hydroxyalkane sulfonates as major products, together with small amounts of disulfonate components, unreacted material, and miscellaneous minor products (alkanes, branched or internal alkenes, secondary alcohols, sulfonate esters, and sultones). Collectively this final process mixture is called a-olefinsulfonate (AOS). The relative proportions of these components are known to be an important determinant of the physical and chemical properties of the surfactant [2]. 

Several review articles are available on the synthesis, physico-chemical properties, and bio degradability of natural-based polymers, and their composites [6-9]. The same aspects have been the subjects of recent books [10-12]. In the following account, we concentrate on organic esters of cellulose. 

Organophosphate Ester Hydraulic Fluids. Most of the monitoring information available for components of organophosphate ester hydraulic fluids pertains to water and sediments, with only a few reports of organophosphate esters in soils and very few reporting air or rain concentrations (see Section 5.4). There is insufficient monitoring information to demonstrate that sediments and soils are the dominant environmental sinks, as the physical/chemical properties predict. 

Organophosphate Ester Hydraulic Fluids. The physical and chemical property information available for the organophosphate ester hydraulic fluid products and components is presented in Tables 3 A, 3-5, 3-8, and 3-9. Much of this information was abstracted from trade literature or data taken from material safety data sheets. While there is information on many of the major component chemicals in the hydraulic fluid products, there can still be major data uncertainties for products that involve mixtures of different components. While current manufacturing practices aim to minimize or eliminate the presence of such worrisome components as th-ortho-cresyl phosphate, there remain major uncertainties about the composition and properties of older products, which would be more commonly encountered as site contaminants at NPL sites. Additional information on physical and chemical properties for organophosphate ester hydraulic fluid products is, therefore, an important data need. 

The physical and chemical properties of individual oils and fats are determined by the nature and proportions of fatty acids that enter into the triglycerides composition. Animal and dairy fat like plant oils are dominated by triacylglycerols, with steroids present as minor components, cholesterol and its esters being the most significant. The triacylglycerols of animal fats differ from plant oils since they contain more of the saturated fatty acids and consequently are solid at room temperature. 

Some chemical properties of boryloxyphenylenephosphines (192) have been studied [Eq. (141)]. In Balueva et al. (91IZV2397) the intramolecular trans-esterification of phenylboric acid, a phenyl ester with a-... 

The higher coordinating ability and Lewis acidity of Zn(H) ion in addition to the low pK of the metal-bound water molecule and the appearance of this metal ion in native phosphatases inspired a number of research groups to develop Zn(II)-containing dinuclear artificial phosphatases. In contrast, very few model compounds have been published to mimic the activity of Fe(III) ion in dinuclear centers of phosphatase enzymes. Cu(II) or lanthanide ions are not relevant to natural systems but their chemical properties in certain cases allow extraordinarily high acceleration of phosphate-ester hydrolysis [as much as 108 for copper(II) or 1013 for lanthanide(III) ions].
