Ethyl alcohol elements reacting with

The saponification number expresses the amount of base that will react with 1 g of a sample when heated in a specific manner. Since certain elements are sometimes added to asphalt and also consume alkali and acids, the results obtained indicate the effect of these extraneous materials in addition to the saponifiable material present. In the test method (ASTM D94 IP 136), a known weight of the sample is dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone or a mixture of suitable solvents, and the mixture is heated with a known amount of standard alcoholic potassium hydroxide for between 30 and 90 minutes at 80°C (176°F). The excess alkali is titrated with standard hydrochloric acid and the saponification number is calculated. 

The starting diol was transformed into the dibromide by elemental bromine with triphenyl phosphine adduct which undergoes the Arbuzov-Michaelis reaction under somewhat drastic conditions at 150 °C (step a). Catalytic removal of the benzyl group was performed by a Pd/C catalyst (step b) and the alcohol formed was allowed to react with dichloropurine in the presence of triphenylphosphine and diethylazodicarboxylate (Mit-sunobu reaction) (step c). Finally the desired product was obtained by reaction with methylamine (step d) and the removal of ethyl groups at the phosphorus centre was performed by transilylation using trimethyliodosilane (step e). 

Alcohols and aldehydes are also suitable materials for the creation of an alkyl amine. In addition to the aforementioned formation of alkyl chloride as an intermediate, alcohols can be directly converted to amines under hydrogenation conditions in the presence of ammonia while aldehydes are prereacted to form imine followed by hydrogenation [13]. Selectivity of the primary amine with these techniques is difficult and this process is more typically utilized for the preparation of tertiary amines where the reaction can be driven to completion. In certain cases, alcohols and aldehydes provide structural elements which are not attainable from natural sources. An example is the formation of a hydrogenated tallow 2-ethyl hexyl amine. The amine is prepared as shown below in eqn 6.1.8 using a hydrogenated tallow amine reacted with 2-ethyl hexanal [14, 15] ...
