Ethanol from decomposition

The lysergic acid hydrazide is very difficultly soluble in water, ether, benzene, chloroform, rather difficultly soluble in pyridine and in hot absolute ethanol. From this last solvent it crystallizes in form of beautiful, compact, clear, on six sides cut crystal plates, that melt under decomposition at 235-240° C. (corr). The hydrazide is easily soluble in acids yielding good crystallizing salts. 

Eistert and Langbein [23] have detected the pyrazolines yielded by reaction of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone with diazomethane and the tetraphenylbenzene derivatives prepared from decomposition of these pyrazolines via bicyclohexenone they used silica gel G layers and, as solvent, ethanol-free chloroform containing 0.3—0.4% added methanol. Aqueous permanganate solution (Rgt. No. 199) was suitable for visualisation. 

Dinitrophenylhydra2ones usually separate in well-formed crystals. These can be filtered at the pump, washed with a diluted sample of the acid in the reagent used, then with water, and then (when the solubility allows) with a small quantity of ethanol the dried specimen is then usually pure. It should, however, be recrystallised from a suitable solvent, a process which can usually be carried out with the dinitrophenylhydrazones of the simpler aldehydes and ketones. Many other hydrazones have a very low solubility in most solvents, and a recrystallisation which involves prolonged boiling with a large volume of solvent may be accompanied by partial decomposition, and with the ultimate deposition of a sample less pure than the above washed, dried and unrecrystal-lised sample. 

Dissolve 13 g. of sodium in 30 ml. of absolute ethanol in a 250 ml. flask carrying a reflux condenser, then add 10 g. (9 5 ml.) of redistilled ethyl malonate, and place the flask on a boiling water-bath. Without delay, add a solution of 5 3 g. of thiourea in a minimum of boiling absolute ethanol (about 100 ml.). The sodium salt of thiobarbituric acid rapidly begins to separate. Fit the water-condenser with a calcium chloride guard-tube (Fig. 61, p. 105), and boil the mixture on the water-bath for 1 hour. Cool the mixture, filter off the sodium salt at the pump and wash it with a small quantity of cold acetone. Dissolve the salt in warm water and liberate the acid by the addition of 30 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid diluted with 30 ml. of water. Cool the mixture, filter off the thiobarbituric acid, and recrystallise it from hot water. Colourless crystals, m.p. 245 with decomposition (immersed at 230°). Yield, 3 5 -4 0 g. 

Difluorodiphenyl. Bis-diazotise a solution of 46 g. of benzidine (Section IV,88) in 150 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 150 ml. of water by means of a solution of 35 g. of sodium nitrite in 60 ml. of water add about 200 g. of crushed ice during the process (compare p-Fbtorotoluene above). Filter the solution and add it to a filtered solution of 85 g. of sodium borofluoride in 150 ml. of water. Stir for several minutes, collect the precipitated bis-diazonium borofluoride by suction filtration, wash with 5 ml. of ice-cold water, and dry at 90-100°. Place the dry salt in a flask fitted with an air condenser, immerse the flask in an oil bath, and slowly raise the temperature to 150° (Fume Cupboard ). When decomposition of the salt is complete, steam distil the mixture collect the 4 4 difluoro-diphenyl which passes over and recrystallise it from ethanol. The yield is 21 g., m.p. 92-93°. 

A number of chemiluminescent reactions may proceed through unstable dioxetane intermediates (12,43). For example, the classical chemiluminescent reactions of lophine [484-47-9] (18), lucigenin [2315-97-7] (20), and transannular peroxide decomposition. Classical chemiluminescence from lophine (18), where R = CgH, is derived from its reaction with oxygen in aqueous alkaline dimethyl sulfoxide or by reaction with hydrogen peroxide and a cooxidant such as sodium hypochlorite or potassium ferricyanide (44). The hydroperoxide (19) has been isolated and independentiy emits light in basic ethanol (45). 

A (4-Hydroxyphenyl)glycine. This derivative (23) forms aggregate spheres or shiny leaflets from water. It turns brown at 200°C, begins to melt at 220°C, and melts completely with decomposition at 245 —247°C. The compound is soluble in alkaU and mineral acid and sparingly soluble in water, glacial acetic acid, ethyl acetate, ethanol, diethyl ether, acetone, chloroform, and benzene. 

DAG is treated with ethanol and hydrochloric acid in the presence of inert solvent, eg, chlorinated solvents, hydrocarbons, ketones, etc. The L-ascorbic acid precipitates from the mixture as it forms, minimising its decomposition (69). Cmde L-ascorbic acid is isolated through filtration and purified by recrystallization from water. The pure L-ascorbic acid is isolated, washed with ethanol, and dried. The mother Hquor from the recrystallization step is treated in the usual manner to recover the L-ascorbic acid and ethanol contained in it. The cmde L-ascorbic acid mother Hquor contains solvents and acetone Hberated in the DAG hydrolysis. The solvents are recovered by fractional distillation and recycled. Many solvent systems have been reported for the acid-catalyzed conversion of DAG to L-ascorbic acid (46). Rearrangement solvent systems are used which contain only the necessary amount of water required to give >80% yields of high purity cmde L-ascorbic acid (70). 

Riboflavin forms fine yellow to orange-yeUow needles with a bitter taste from 2 N acetic acid, alcohol, water, or pyridine. It melts with decomposition at 278—279°C (darkens at ca 240°C). The solubihty of riboflavin in water is 10—13 mg/100 mL at 25—27.5°C, and in absolute ethanol 4.5 mg/100 mL at 27.5°C it is slightly soluble in amyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, benzyl alcohol, amyl acetate, and phenol, but insoluble in ether, chloroform, acetone, and benzene. It is very soluble in dilute alkah, but these solutions are unstable. Various polymorphic crystalline forms of riboflavin exhibit variations in physical properties. In aqueous nicotinamide solution at pH 5, solubihty increases from 0.1 to 2.5% as the nicotinamide concentration increases from 5 to 50% (9). 

These can be converted to their uranyl nitrate addition compounds. The crude or partially purified ester is saturated with uranyl nitrate solution and the adduct filtered off. It is recrystallised from -hexane, toluene or ethanol. For the more soluble members crystallisation from hexane using low temperatures (-40°) has been successful. The adduct is decomposed by shaking with sodium carbonate solution and water, the solvent is steam distilled (if hexane or toluene is used) and the ester is collected by filtration. Alternatively, after decomposition, the organic layer is separated, dried with CaCl or BaO, filtered, and fractionally distilled under high vacuum. 

A mixture of 31 5 g (0.1 mol) of 2-chloro-9-(3 -dimethylaminopropylidene)-thiaxanthene (MP 97°C) and 100 g of N-( 3-hydroxyethyl)-piperazine is heated to 130°C and boiled under reflux at this temperature for 48 hours. After cooling, the excess of N-( 3-hydroxyethyl)-piperazine Is evaporated in vacuo, and the residue is dissolved in ether. The ether phase is washed with water and extracted with dilute acetic acid, and 2-chloro-9-[3 -N-(N - -hydroxy-ethyD-piperazinylpropylidene] -thiaxanthene separated from the aqueous acetic acid solution by addition of dilute sodium hydroxide solution to basic reaction. The free base is extracted with ether, the ether phase dried over potassium carbonate, the ether evaporated and the residue dissolved in absolute ethanol. By complete neutralization of the ethanolic solution with a solution of dry hydrogen chloride in absolute ethanol, the dihydrochloride of 2-chloro-9-[3 -N-(N -(3-hydroxyethyl)-piperazinylpropylidene] -thiaxanthene is produced and crystallizes out as a white substance melting at about 250°C to 260°C with decomposition. The yield is 32 g. 

On the addition of ethereal hydrogen chloride to a solution of the base in isopropanol and recrystallization from anhydrous ethanol of the salt formed, there is obtained 3-dimethyl-sulfamovl-10-(2-dimethvlaminopropyl)phenthiazine hydrochloride (2.1 grams), MP 214°C with decomposition. After dissolving the product in anhydrous ethanol and adding meth-anesulfonic acid there is obtained fonazine mesylate. 

After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was made alkaline by the addition of sodium carbonate, whereupon crystals separated out in situ. The crystals were recovered by filtration, washed with water and then recrystallized from 6 ml of ethanol, to give 0.1 g of the pale yellow pure desired product having a decomposition point of 125°C. 

This hydrochloride, on being dissolved in water and hydrogenated with hydrogen and a nickel catalyst, gave a good yield of hydrochloride of hydroxy-4 -phenyl-1-amino-2-ethanol melting, after crystallization from a mixture of ethyl alcohol and butanone-2, at from 177° to 179°C with decomposition.
