Ethanol, solvent stabilizer

Even with our simplistic example, we can see that a polar solvent, such as ethanol, will stabilize the dipolar species on the right-hand side of the equation better than a non-polar solvent, such as cyclohexane. This extra stabilization of the excited state (LUMO) by ethanol leads to a decrease in the energy difference between the HOMO and LUMO and a shift to higher wavelength, a red (bathochromic) shift, when the spectrum is recorded in ethanol. 

Diethyl malonate adds to diethyl fumarate in a conjugate addition reaction promoted by sodium ethoxide in dry ethanol to give a tetraester, Diethyl fumarate is an excellent Michael acceptor because two ester groups withdraw electrons from the alkene, The mechanism involves deprotonation of the malonate, conjugate addition, and reprotonation of the product enolate by ethanol solvent, In this reaction two ester groups stabilize the enolate and two more promote conjugate addition.

A similar catalytic system based on finely dispersed PVP-stabilized Pt-nanoclusters supported on conventional carriers and modified with Cnd accomplished the enantioselective hydrogenation of 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophe-none into the (R)-alcohol at 20 bar hydrogen in a mixture of o-dichloroben-zene and ethanol (Zhang et al. The same catalyst was not very effective in the asymmetric decomposition-hydrogenation of racemic 3-hydroxybutan-2-one. The enantiomeric excess reached a maximum ee > 40% at a molar ratio of the modifier to reactant of about 1 650 in dichloromethane-ethanol solvent (Zuo et al. ). 

Solubility can often be decreased by using a nonaqueous solvent. A precipitate s solubility is generally greater in aqueous solutions because of the ability of water molecules to stabilize ions through solvation. The poorer solvating ability of nonaqueous solvents, even those that are polar, leads to a smaller solubility product. For example, PbS04 has a Ks of 1.6 X 10 in H2O, whereas in a 50 50 mixture of H20/ethanol the Ks at 2.6 X 10 is four orders of magnitude smaller.

Chloroform has lower affinity toward silica gel-based adsorbents than THF. PMMAs were fully retained from this solvent on the nonmodified silica gel even in the presence of a 1% ethanol stabilizer (14). It has been shown that PMMAs were not retained even within the most interactive PS/DVB column using chloroform stabilized with 1% ethanol. Chloroform is considered a weak displacer. 

Paine et al. [99] tried different stabilizers [i.e., hydroxy propylcellulose, poly(N-vinylpyrollidone), and poly(acrylic acid)] in the dispersion polymerization of styrene initiated with AIBN in the ethanol medium. The direct observation of the stained thin sections of the particles by transmission electron microscopy showed the existence of stabilizer layer in 10-20 nm thickness on the surface of the polystyrene particles. When the polystyrene latexes were dissolved in dioxane and precipitated with methanol, new latex particles with a similar surface stabilizer morphology were obtained. These results supported the grafting mechanism of stabilization during dispersion polymerization of styrene in polar solvents. 

The properties of a solvent that contribute to its ability to stabilize ions by solvation are related to the solvent s polarity. SN1 reactions take place much more rapidly in strongly polar solvents, such as water and methanol, than in less polar solvents, such as ether and chloroform. In the reaction of 2-chloro-2-methylpropane, for example, a rate increase of 100,000 is observed on going from ethanol (less polar) to water (more polar). The rate...
