Ethanol in methanol

Sorbitol occurs as a white powder, as granules, or as crystalline masses. It is very soluble in water slightly soluble in ethanol, in methanol, and in acetic acid and insoluble in ether. It is hygroscopic. 

Blectronic spectrum of cyclonite has been examined by a number of authors (7, 100 101) who found a maximum at 202 nm and a shoulder at 236 nm. Later examination of spectra [102] confirmed these results for cyclonite dissolved in ethanol. In methanol they were sligjuly different 204 and 234 nm. Infra-red spectroscopy was given in the monograph of licUamy [103 J. 

Because the initial rotary evaporation is faster with the organic solvent, we have usually prepared DHA in 95% ethanol. In methanol the reaction gives up to 10-20% of a methanol complex of DHA that is only partly reconverted to free DHA on repeated evaporations from water. Extensive rotary evaporation with repeated additions of diethyl ether, followed by lyophilization, yields a more manageable, semisolid product. DHA in the syrup or semisolid form is stable for many weeks when stored at —10° to —20°C. Analysis of the products prepared as described above was done by NMR, one of the few analytical techniques that gives unambiguous results on the purity and identity of this compound. 

Figure 3 shows the internal profile in the composition tetrahedron after simulation of the hybrid column in Hysys. A loss of about 0.18 % w/w of ethanol in methanol-rich distillate occurs. The side streams are located near the maximum in ethanol (ethanol-rich stream, 88.98 % w/w) and fusel (fusel-rich stream, 18.5 % w/w), respectively. The column has 35 equilibrium stages, a column diameter of 1.372 m, a section pressure drop of 11.8 kPa and a steam flow rate of 1800 kg/h. The vapour ethanol-rich stream is diverted to the first effect of the evaporation sector to provide heating while minimizing the steam demand of the plant. The condensed ethanol-rich stream is then fed to the pervaporation sector to remove the excess water. 

The one-carbon alcohol methanol also is metabohzed by ADH and ALDH, with damaging consequences (see below). Competition between methanol and ethanol for ADH forms the basis of the use of ethanol in methanol poisoning. Several drugs inhibit alcohol metabolism, including...

The methyl ester formed by substituting methanol for ethanol in the above reaction has an even stronger odour and should be prepared if salicylic acid is suspected. 

METHOD 2 [89]--1M MDA or benzedrine and 1M benzaldehyde is dissolved in 95% ethanol (Everclear), stirred, the solvent removed by distillation then the oil vacuum distilled to give 95% yellow oil which is a Schiff base intermediate. 1M of this intermediate, plus 1M iodomethane, is sealed in a pipe bomb that s dumped in boiling water for 5 hours giving an orangy-red heavy oil. The oil is taken up in methanol, 1/8 its volume of dH20 is added and the solution refluxed for 30 minutes. Next, an equal volume of water is added and the whole solution boiled openly until no more odor of benzaldehyde is detected (smells like almond extract). The solution is acidified with acetic acid, washed with ether (discard ether), the MDMA or meth freebase liberated with NaOH and extracted with ether to afford a yield of 90% for meth and 65% for MDMA. That s not a bad conversion but what s with having to use benzaldehyde (a List chemical) Strike wonders if another aldehyde can substitute. 

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. 

Pure adiponitrile is a colorless Hquid and has no distinctive odor some properties are shown in Table 5. It is soluble in methanol, ethanol, chloroalkanes, and aromatics but has low solubiUty in carbon disulfide, ethyl ether, and aUphatic hydrocarbons. At 20°C, the solubiUty of adiponitrile in water is ca 8 wt % the solubiUty increases to 35 wt % at 100°C. At 20°C, adiponitrile dissolves ca 5 wt % water.

The water of hydration of these complexes can be replaced with other coordinating solvents. For example, the ethanol and methanol solvates were made by dissolving the hydrates in triethyl and trimethyl orthoformate, respectively (81,82). The acetic acid solvates are made by treating the hydrates with acetic anhydride (83). Conductivity and visible spectra, where appHcable, of the Co, Ni, Zn, and Cu fluoroborates in A/A/-dimethylacetamide (L) showed that all metal ions were present as the MLg cations (84).

Famotidine. Also known as Pepcid, famotidine [76824-35-6] (AT-(aminosulfonyl)-3-([[2-[(diaminomethylene) amino]-4-thia2olyl] methyl]thio)propariimidamide (2) is a white to pale yellow crystalline compound, freely soluble in glacial acetic acid, slightly soluble in methanol, very slightly soluble in water, and practically insoluble in ethanol. It may be prepared by the method described in Reference 3. 

Ranitidine. Ranitidine hydrochloride [66357-59-3] (Zantac) is a white to pale yellow granular substance. It is freely soluble in water and acetic acid, soluble in methanol, sparingly soluble in ethanol, and practically insoluble in chloroform. It has a slightly bitter taste and a sulfur-fike odor. It may be made by the method described in Reference 5. 

Solutions of NaBH in methanol, and to a lesser degree ethanol, are subject to a similar decomposition reaction that evolves hydrogen these solutions can be stabilized by alkaU. The solubiUty of NaBH in lower aUphatic alcohols decreases as the carbon chain length increases, but the stabiUty increases. Solutions in 2-propanol and /-butanol are stable without alkaU (22,24). 

The advent of a large international trade in methanol as a chemical feedstock has prompted additional purchase specifications, depending on the end user. Chlorides, which would be potential contaminants from seawater during ocean transport, are common downstream catalyst poisons likely to be excluded. Limitations on iron and sulfur can similarly be expected. Some users are sensitive to specific by-products for a variety of reasons. Eor example, alkaline compounds neutralize MTBE catalysts, and ethanol causes objectionable propionic acid formation in the carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid. Very high purity methanol is available from reagent vendors for small-scale electronic and pharmaceutical appHcations.

The octane number R + M jT) of such reformates is typically in the range of 88.9—94.5, depending on severity of the reforming operation. Toluene itself has a blending octane number of 103—106, which, as shown in Table 19, is exceeded only by oxygenated compounds such as methyl tert-huty ether, ethanol, and methanol.
