Ethanol, acidic properties

Ionisations 2, 3 and 5 are complete ionisations so that in water HCI and HNO3 are completely ionised and H2SO4 is completely ionised as a monobasic acid. Since this is so, all these acids in water really exist as the solvated proton known as the hydrogen ion, and as far as their acid properties are concerned they are the same conjugate acid species (with different conjugate bases). Such acids are termed strong acids or more correctly strong acids in water. (In ethanol as solvent, equilibria such as 1 would be the result for all the acids quoted above.) Ionisations 4 and 6 do not proceed to completion... 

Layers of silica gel and alumina have been employed for the separation and identification of 126 monocyclic phenols eluted with 3 solvents of increasing polarity (benzene, diisopropylether, and ethanol) [2]. Alumina is more basic than silica gel and strongly retains phenolic compounds, particularly those with more acidic properties such as chlorophenols and nitrophenols, even when eluting with a medium-polarity solvent. 

As for the nonsupported mixed oxide catalysts, the V-P and V-Ti-P catalysts are very active for the consumption of ethanol, but the yields of acrolein, acetaldehyde, and methanol are very low and the formation of a large amount of ethene is observed. This indicates that the acidic property of these catalysts are too strong and, as a result, the dehydration of ethanol is promoted rather than the condensation reaction. Among the...

Besides the above reactions, any kind of acid-catalyzed reactions such as cracking of cumene, alkylation of benzene with propene, hydration of olefins, isomerization of cyclopropane, esterification of acetic acid with ethanol, etc. can be used for the estimation of the acidic property of solid acids. Skeletal isomerization of li-butane to -butane is used to check whether a solid acid has superacidity, since the isomerization is known not to be catalyzed even by 100% sulfuric acid. However, it should be noticed that the differentiation between acid strength and acid amount is not easy from the measurement of catalytic activity for an acid-catalyzed reaction. Characterization of acid catalysts by use of model reactions has been reviewed recently by Guisnet. ...

The thiazolium ring, as most heterocycloammoniums, is a Lewis acid conferring to the carbon atom in the 2-position the carbocationic property of adding the free pair of a base either organic or mineral that may be the molecule of solvent as ROH (Scheme 11). For many nuclei of suitable acidity, these equilibria can be observed in dilute solution by means of absorption spectra when species A and C possess different characteristics (24). For example, benzothiazolium and benzoxazolium in methanol and ethanol give at 10 mole liter 8 and 54% of the alkoxy derivatives for the former and 29 and 90% for the latter respectively. 

When applied to the synthesis of ethers the reaction is effective only with primary alcohols Elimination to form alkenes predominates with secondary and tertiary alcohols Diethyl ether is prepared on an industrial scale by heating ethanol with sulfuric acid at 140°C At higher temperatures elimination predominates and ethylene is the major product A mechanism for the formation of diethyl ether is outlined m Figure 15 3 The individual steps of this mechanism are analogous to those seen earlier Nucleophilic attack on a protonated alcohol was encountered m the reaction of primary alcohols with hydrogen halides (Section 4 12) and the nucleophilic properties of alcohols were dis cussed m the context of solvolysis reactions (Section 8 7) Both the first and the last steps are proton transfer reactions between oxygens...
