Nonionic surfactants are also used in substantial amounts in laundry detergents and in automatic dishwashing detergents, both applications reflecting in particular their generally lower sudsing characteristics than the anionics. Commercially important examples uf the nonionics include the alkyl ethoxylates, the ethoxylated alkyl phenols, the fatly acid ethanol amides, and complex polymers of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and alcohols. 

In the n-3 series, the limited data suggest that the derived ethanol-amides are either inactive or less active than related compounds in the n-6 series. 

These ethanol amide derivatives have antiinflammatory analgetic, antiglaucoma and antiemetic activity. 

Then, with the help of a colleague, Asher Mandelbaum, at the Technion in Haifa, we got a high-resolution mass spectrum, which indicated that the molecule contains a nitrogen, certainly not a common feature in fatty acids. However, the structure was now close at hand. Some more mass spectra and a better nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) led to a final formulation of the ligand as arachidonoyl ethanol amide (Devane, Hanus, et al., 1992). 

We also explored using the attached hposomes for detection of BG spores. Early experiments suggested that attached liposomes composed of diacetylene fatty acids (1) were more responsive to the spores than ones based on diacetylene ethanol amides (2). The liposomes were prepared with 20% of 11 incorporated so antibodies could be conjugated via the BS3 linker. We compared the performance of attached fatty acid hposomes in three different buffer... 

Mono ethanol amides, in particular lauryl myristyl mono ethanol amide (LMMEA), have found use in dishwashing formulations as foam boosters (structure shown in Figure 3.2). Alone, they have very poor water solubility at room temperature, but when used in small amounts in combination with anionic surfactants, they contribute to the stabilization of foam that would otherwise collapse in the presence of grease or oils. Mono ethanol amides are also excellent viscosity builders.

Monoesters based on linear fatty alcohols are only partially water-soluble and hardly dispersible. Those based on fatty alcohol ethoxylates exhibit much better solubility. Dialkyl esters based on alcohols wifii le than nine carbons, preferably five to eight carbons, as well as those based on fatty acid ethanol amides are water soluble and, therefore, are generally preferred. It is worth noting that solubility can still be increased by using branched chains. 

CCls CHO. A colourless oily liquid with a pungent odour b.p. 98°C. Manut actured by the action of chlorine on ethanol it is also made by the chlorination of ethanal. When allowed to stand, it changes slowly to a white solid. Addition compounds are formed with water see chloral hydrate), ammonia, sodium hydrogen sulphite, alcohols, and some amines and amides. Oxidized by nitric acid to tri-chloroethanoic acid. Decomposed by alkalis to chloroform and a methanoate a convenient method of obtaining pure CHCI3. It is used for the manufacture of DDT. It is also used as a hypnotic. 

A further 25 g. of cyanoacetamide may be obtained by evaporating the original mother liquor to dryness under reduced pressure (water pump) whilst heating the flask on a steam bath. The residue is dissolved in 50 ml. of hot ethanol, the solution shaken for a few minutes with decolourising carbon, Altered with suction whilst hot, and then cooled in ice. The resulting yellowish amide is recrystallised with the addition of decolourising carbon, if necessary. 

The experimental conditions for conducting the above reaction in the presence of dimethylformamide as a solvent are as follows. In a 250 ml. three-necked flask, equipped with a reflux condenser and a tantalum wire Hershberg-type stirrer, place 20 g. of o-chloronitrobenzene and 100 ml. of diinethylform-amide (dried over anhydrous calcium sulphate). Heat the solution to reflux and add 20 g. of activated copper bronze in one portion. Heat under reflux for 4 hours, add another 20 g. portion of copper powder, and continue refluxing for a second 4-hour period. Allow to cool, pour the reaction mixture into 2 litres of water, and filter with suction. Extract the solids with three 200 ml. portions of boiling ethanol alternatively, use 300 ml. of ethanol in a Soxhlet apparatus. Isolate the 2 2- dinitrodiphenyl from the alcoholic extracts as described above the 3ueld of product, m.p. 124-125°, is 11 - 5 g. 

Indole (I) condenses with formaldehyde and dimethylamine in the presence of acetie acid (Mannich reaction see Section VI,20) largely in the 3-position to give 3 dimethylaminomethylindole or gramine (II). The latter reaets in hot aqueous ethanol with sodium cyanide to give the nitrile (III) upon boiling the reaction mixture, the nitrile undergoes hydrolysis to yield 3-indoleaeet-amide (IV), part of which is further hydrolysed to 3-indoleacetic acid (V, as sodium salt). The product is a readily separable mixture of 20 per cent, of (IV) and 80 per cent, of (V). 

Particularly alkyl halides which have a perfluoroalkyl group at the /3-position undergo smooth carbonylation. Probably the coordination of fluorine to form a five-membered chelate ring accelerates the reaction. Double carbonylation to give the a-keto amide 915 is possible in Et NH with the fluorine-bearing alkyl iodide 914[769,770]. The ester 917 is obtained by the carbonylation of the /3-perfluoroalkyl iodide 916 in ethanol. 

Two moles of /3-alkoxyaicene can condense on each other by means of their a- and /3-carbon atoms. The resulting intermediate reacts on the anhydrobase by elimination of a molecule of ethanol resulting in a neocyanine formation (Schemes 59 and 60). Both monoanilino and bis-anilino derivatives resulting from the condensation of dimethylform-amide have been isolated. They are capable of furnishing various condensations on either ketomethylene or another reactive nucleus (Scheme 61). 

When 1 2 dibromodecane was treated with potassium hydroxide m aqueous ethanol it yielded a mixture of three isomenc compounds of molecular formula CioHi9Br Each of these compounds was converted to 1 decyne on reaction with sodium amide m dimethyl sulfoxide Men tify these three compounds... 

The diacid-diamine amidation described in reaction 2 in Table 5.4 has been widely studied in the melt, in solution, and in the solid state. When equal amounts of two functional groups are present, both the rate laws and the molecular weight distributions are given by the treatment of the preceding sections. The stoichiometric balance between reactive groups is readily obtained by precipitating the 1 1 ammonium salt from ethanol ... 

Pentafluoroaniline. Pentafluoroaniline [771 -60-8] i2is been prepared from amination of hexafluoroben2ene with sodium amide inbquid ammonia or with ammonium hydroxide in ethanol (or water) at 167—180°C for 12—18 h. It is weakly basic (p = 0.28) and dissolves only in concentrated acids. Liquid crystals have been prepared from Schiff bases derived from pentafluoroaniline (230). 

Some of these compounds show antibacterial activity. Reduction gives 2-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethanols which react with organic acids to form amides that, on further heating, cyclize to imidazolines (6). For example, the diamine obtained by reducing (1) reacts with an organic acid (R"COOH) to give... 

Appllca.tlons. MCA is used for the resolution of many classes of chiral dmgs. Polar compounds such as amines, amides, imides, esters, and ketones can be resolved (34). A phenyl or a cycloalkyl group near the chiral center seems to improve chiral selectivity. Nonpolar racemates have also been resolved, but charged or dissociating compounds are not retained on MCA. Mobile phases used with MCA columns include ethanol and methanol. 

Reaction of cyanohydrins with absolute ethanol in the presence of HCl yields the ethyl esters of a-hydroxy acids (3). A/-substituted amides can be synthesized by heating a cyanohydrin and an amine in water. Thus formaldehyde cyanohydrin and P-hydroxyethylamine lead to A/- (P-hydroxyethyl)hydroxyacetamide (4). 

The aminolysis of esters of pyrimidine occurs normally to yield amides. The reagent is commonly alcoholic ammonia or alcoholic amine, usually at room temperature for 20-24 hours, but occasionally under refiux aqueous amine or even undiluted amine are used sometimes. The process is exemplified in the conversion of methyl pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (193 R = Me) or its 4-isomer by methanolic ammonia at 25 °C into the amide (196) or pyrimidine-4-carboxamide, respectively (60MI21300), and in the butylaminolysis of butyl ttracil-6-carboxylate (butyl orotate) by ethanolic butylamine to give A-butyluracil-5-carboxamide (187) (60JOC1950). Hydrazides are made similarly from esters with ethanolic hydrazine hydrate. 

Pyrimido[4,5- f]pyrimidines may be used as pyrimidine precursors. Thus, the dihydro derivative (736) undergoes alkaline hydrolysis to the amide (737 R = PrCO) which may be deacylated in ethanolic hydrogen chloride to give 5-aminomethyl-2-propylpyrimidin-4-amine (737 R = H) (64CPB393) rather similarly, the pyrimidopyrimidinedione (738) reacts with amines to give, for example, 6-amino-5-benzyliminomethyl-l,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4(lFf,3Ff)-dione (739 R = CH2Ph) or the hydrazone (739 R = NH2) (74JCS(Pl)1812). 

Diaryloxaziridines are even less stable. With oxaziridines (66 Ar = Ph or 4-Me2NC6H4) acid amide formation at 25 °C proceeded in the course of 66 and 10 h respectively in the latter case there were equal amounts of H and aryl migration. Ethanol as solvent again accelerated the reaction, in the latter case by a factor of lO. ... 

Amides are stable compounds. The lower-melting members (such as acetamide) can be readily purified by fractional distillation. Most amides are solids which have low solubilities in water. They can be recrystallised from large quantities of water, ethanol, ethanol/ether, aqueous ethanol, chloroform/toluene, chloroform or acetic acid. The likely impurities are the parent acids or the alkyl esters from which they have been made. The former can be removed by thorough washing with aqueous ammonia followed by recrystallisation, whereas elimination of the latter is by trituration or recrystallisation from an organic solvent. Amides can be freed from solvent or water by drying below their melting points. These purifications can also be used for sulfonamides and acid hydrazides. 

Imides (e.g. phthalimide) can be purified by conversion to their potassium salts by reaction in ethanol with ethanolic potassium hydroxide. Hie imides are regenerated when the salts are hydrolysed with dilute acid. Like amides, imides readily crystallise from alcohols and, in some cases (e.g. quinolinic imide), from glacial acetic acid.
