Ethyl acetate, determination

Dissolve 2-3 g. of methyl p-toluenesnlphonate in 10 ml. of dry benzene, add 1 g. of the amine, and boU the mixture for 20-30 minutes. Cool, and filter the precipitated quaternary salt. Recrystallise by dissolving the solid in the minimum volume of boiling ethyl alcohol and then adding ethyl acetate until crystallisation commences. Filter the cold mixture, dry rapidly on a porous plate, and determine the m.p. immediately. 

An internal standard of 1-butanol is used to determine the concentrations of one or more of the following impurities commonly found in whiskey acetaldehyde, methanol, ethyl acetate, 1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, acetic acid, 2-methyl-1-butanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol. A packed column using 5% Garbowax 20m on 80/120 Garbopak B and an EID detector were used. 

The ethyl acetate is distilled at 70—100°C, leaving spherical particles. This graining operation requires ca 1 to 1.5 h. Grain density and size are determined by the concentration of salt in solution, the temperature and time of the dehydration, agitation speed, and the rate of distillation of the ethyl acetate. 

The most common chromatogram in the distilled spirits industry is the fusel oil content. This consists of / -propyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, and isoamyl alcohol. Other common peaks are ethyl acetate, acetaldehyde, and methanol. The gc columns may be steel, copper, or glass packed column or capillary columns. Additional analyses include deterrninations of esters, total acids, fixed acids, volatile acids, soHds or extracts (used to determine... 

Solution Viscosity. Solution viscosity is determined in solvent blends of toluene, ethyl alcohol, and ethyl acetate. The solvent blend and concentration of CN varies according to the viscosity and nitrogen content of the CN being tested. Viscosities are measured at 25°C by the falling-hall method. The results are ordinarily expressed in terms of seconds required for a 2.4 mm diameter steel ball to fall a distance of 5.08 cm through the... 

The variable that has the most significant impact on the economics of an extractive distillation is the solvent-to-feed (S/F) ratio. For closeboiling or pinched nonazeotropic mixtures, no minimum-solvent flow rate is required to effect the separation, as the separation is always theoretically possible (if not economical) in the absence of the solvent. However, the extent of enhancement of the relative volatihty is largely determined by the solvent concentration and hence the S/F ratio. The relative volatility tends to increase as the S/F ratio increases. Thus, a given separation can be accomplished in fewer equihbrium stages. As an illustration, the total number of theoretical stages required as a function of S/F ratio is plotted in Fig. 13-75 7 for the separation of the nonazeotropic mixture of vinyl acetate and ethyl acetate using phenol as the solvent. 

The following polyvitamin prepai ations were analyzed Kal tsid (OAO Comfort Plus , Russia), Asvitol (OAO INC Marbiofarm , Russia), Pikovit (KRKA, d.d. The New Place, Slovenia), Yeast with vitamin C (000 EKKO Plus , Russia). Chromatographic experiment has been carried out using Silufol UV-254 (Kavalier, Czech Republic) and acetone - ethyl acetate - acetic acid - ethanol (3 5 1 1) - CTAB (2T0 M) as a mobile phase mixture. The linearity calibration plot, built in coordinate S = f (IgqAC), is valid in the interval 5-25 p.g. Correctness of the determination has been checked by photometry. The obtained results for the ascorbic acid determination are presented below. 

C. In their first series of experiments, six data sets were obtained for (H) and (u), employing six solvent mixtures, each exhibiting different diffusivities for the two solutes. This served two purposes as not only were there six different data sets with which the dispersion equations could be tested, but the coefficients in those equations supported by the data sets could be subsequently correlated with solute diffusivity. The solvents employed were approximately 5%v/v ethyl acetate in n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, -octane, -nonane and n-decane. The solutes used were benzyl acetate and hexamethylbenzene. The diffusivity of each solute in each solvent mixture was determined in the manner of Katz et al. [3] and the values obtained are included... 

The solvent used was 5 %v/v ethyl acetate in n-hexane at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. Each solute was dissolved in the mobile phase at a concentration appropriate to its extinction coefficient. Each determination was carried out in triplicate and, if any individual measurement differed by more than 3% from either or both replicates, then further replicate samples were injected. All peaks were symmetrical (i.e., the asymmetry ratio was less than 1.1). The efficiency of each solute peak was taken as four times the square of the ratio of the retention time in seconds to the peak width in seconds measured at 0.6065 of the peak height. The diffusivities obtained for 69 different solutes are included with other physical and chromatographic properties in table 1. The diffusivity values are included here as they can be useful in many theoretical studies and there is a dearth of such data available in the literature (particularly for the type of solutes and solvents commonly used in LC separations). 

Kinetic reactivity can be assessed by examining the lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). This is the orbital into which the nucleophile s pair of electrons will go. Compare the LUMO for acetic anhydride and ethyl acetate. For each, determine on which atom(s) the orbital has the largest lobes Do both reagents appear to be susceptible to nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl carbon ... 

The main drawback of GC is sample introduction and this is especially important when analytes are to be determined at trace levels. Today, however, there is no problem with introducing 10 -100 p.1 of Organic solvents such as ethyl acetate or alkanes... 

Hydrogens on the carbon next to a carbonyl group are slightly deshielded and absorb near 2 8 in the Mi NMR spectrum. T he exact nature of the carbonyl group can t be determined by lH NMR, however, because the a hydrogens of all add derivatives absorb in the same range. Figure 21.10 shows the lHNMR spectrum of ethyl acetate. 

Discussion. Hydroxyl groups present in carbohydrates can be readily acetylated by acetic (ethanoic) anhydride in ethyl acetate containing some perchloric acid. This reaction can be used as a basis for determining the number of hydroxyl groups in the carbohydrate molecule by carrying out the reaction with excess acetic anhydride followed by titration of the excess using sodium hydroxide in methyl cellosolve. 

Carry out a blank determination on the acetic anhydride/ethyl acetate solution following the above procedure without adding the carbohydrate. Use the difference between the blank titration, Vb, and the sample titration, Vs, to calculate the number of hydroxyl groups in the sugar (Note 2). 

The reaction is a sensitive one, but is subject to a number of interferences. The solution must be free from large amounts of lead, thallium (I), copper, tin, arsenic, antimony, gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, and from elements in sufficient quantity to colour the solution, e.g. nickel. Metals giving insoluble iodides must be absent, or present in amounts not yielding a precipitate. Substances which liberate iodine from potassium iodide interfere, for example iron(III) the latter should be reduced with sulphurous acid and the excess of gas boiled off, or by a 30 per cent solution of hypophosphorous acid. Chloride ion reduces the intensity of the bismuth colour. Separation of bismuth from copper can be effected by extraction of the bismuth as dithizonate by treatment in ammoniacal potassium cyanide solution with a 0.1 per cent solution of dithizone in chloroform if lead is present, shaking of the chloroform solution of lead and bismuth dithizonates with a buffer solution of pH 3.4 results in the lead alone passing into the aqueous phase. The bismuth complex is soluble in a pentan-l-ol-ethyl acetate mixture, and this fact can be utilised for the determination in the presence of coloured ions, such as nickel, cobalt, chromium, and uranium. 

In the extraction procedure the yellow solution is allowed to stand for 10 minutes, and then extracted with 3 mL portions of a 3 1 mixture by volume of pentan-l-ol and ethyl acetate until the last extract is colourless. Make up the combined extracts to a definite volume (10 mL or 25 mL) with the organic solvent, and determine the transmittance (460 nm) at once. Construct the calibration curve by extracting known amounts of bismuth under the same conditions as the sample. 

K Fe(CN)6 oxidation Compound F is stoichiometrically inactivated by oxidation with K.3Fe(CN)6 (Shimomura and Johnson, 1967) thus, it is possible to estimate the molecular extinction coefficient (e) of the 388-390 nm absorption peak by titrating F with K.3Fe(CN)6- The e value obtained by the titration in 50% ethanol was 15,400 (assuming the reaction to be one-electron oxidation) or 30,800 (assuming two-electron oxidation). Two other methods of lesser precision were used to determine the true s value 1) the dry weight of the ethyl acetate extract of an acidified solution of F gave an e value of 14,100 2) the comparison of NMR signal intensities gave a value of 11,400 2,000 in water (H. Nakamura, Y. Oba, and A. Murai, 1995, personal... 

Conjugate Addition. To a solution of 1.5 mmol of lithium dialkylcuprate at — 25 CC is added 1 mmol of methyl ( )-3-[(25,45,55)-3-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-methyl-5-phenyl-2-oxazolidinyl]-propenoate dissolved in 1 mL of dry diethyl ether. After 30 ntin at — 25 C, the mixture is treated with an aq NH3/NH4C1 pH 8 buffer solution and then stirred at r.t. for 15 min. After diethyl ether extraction, the organic layers are dried over Na,S()4 and filtered and the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude products are checked by H- and l3C-NMR analyses in order to determine the diastereomer ratios (g 95 5) and then purified by flash chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate 80 20) yield 70-72%. 

A flame-dried flask under argon containing a 0.08 M THF solution of 317 mg (1.0 mmol) of the 2-(l- or 2-naphthyl)-substituted 4,5-dihydrooxazole is cooled to a temperature of between — 80 and 0 CC (see ref 7) and is treated with 1.5-2.0 equiv of the alkyllithium. The solution becomes deep red over 2-4 h and is quenched by the dropwise addition of 1.5 equiv of the electrophile (either neat or as a THF solution). The temperature is maintained for 1 h and then the solution is warmed gradually to 0 JC. The solution is diluted with 100 mL of diethyl ether and washed with 5 mL of sat. NH4C1, followed by 3 mL of sat. aq NaCI. The combined aqueous layers are back-extracted with 10 mL of CII2C12, and the combined extracts are dried over Na2S04. Concentration of the filtrate in vacuo provides a yellow oil, which is flash chromatographed over silica gel (1 -10% ethyl acetate in hexane) to yield the desired adducts. The diastereomeric ratios are determined by HPLC (Zorbax Sil column, Du Pont). 

Sodium hydroxyalkanesulfonates may be determined in the presence of an unsaturated hydrocarbon, including sodium alkenesulfonate. The sulfonates are converted to the free sulfonic acids using a slight excess of 2,4-dinitrobenzene-sulfonic acid. The hydroxyl group of the sulfonic acid liberated is acetylated in ethyl acetate solution by a known excess of acetic anhydride. The unconsumed anhydride is hydrolyzed by a pyridine-water mixture and the acids titrated potentiometrically with standard sodium hydroxide solution. The hydroxy-alkanesulfonate content is calculated after correction for any traces of acidity or alkalinity in the original sample. 

Nonvolatile Nitrosamines In Tobacco. A method which we developed several years ago for the analysis of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA 31) involves extraction of tobacco with buffered ascorbic acid TpH 4.5) followed by partition with ethyl acetate, chromatographic clean-up on silica gel, and analysis by HPLC-TEA (Figure 9). Results obtained with this method for a large spectrum of tobacco products (Table IV), strongly support the concept that the levels of nitrate and alkaloids, and especially the methods for curing and fermentation, determine the yields of TSNA in tobacco products. Recent and as yet preliminary data from snuff analyses indicate that aerobic bacteria play a role in the formation of TSNA during air curing and fermentation. 

To test the quality of some synthetic dyes according to standardized procedures, a screening is recommended based on TLC analysis on silica plates 60 F 254 using elutions with an ethyl acetate pyridine water 25 25 20 (v v v) mixture. To determine purity and secondary dyes (components or by-products of a dye that are not allowed to be present), successive TLC separations are recommended or, for more accurate answers, HPLC-DAD using RP-18 columns and eluents like acetonitrile and phosphate buffer."...
