The properties of the solids most commonly encountered are tabulated. An important problem arises for petroleum fractions because data for the freezing point and enthalpy of fusion are very scarce. The MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) process utilizes the solvent s property that increases the partial fugacity of the paraffins in the liquid phase and thus favors their crystallization. The calculations for crystallization are sensitive and it is usually necessary to revert to experimental measurement. 

Homologous mono-alkyl ethers of ethylene glycol, such as monoethyl glycol (or 2-ethoxyethanol), HOC2H4OC2H5, form excellent solvents as they combine to a large extent the solvent properties of alcohols and ethers. The monoethyl and the monomethyl members have the technical names of ethyl cellosolve and methyl cellosolve respectively. Dioxan... 

Ethyl iodide is a heavy liquid, of b.p. 72° and of d, 1 94 insoluble in water, When freshly distilled it is colourless, but on prolonged exposure to light it darkens in colour owing to the liberation of free iodine. Its chemical properties are almost identical with those of ethyl bromide given on pp. 102 and 103. 

Ethane tetracarboxylic ethyl ester can be regarded as composed of two malonic ester residues, each acting as a mono-alkyl substituent to the other. The two remaining hydrogen atoms therefore still retain acidic properties, and consequently the ester gives with sodium ethoxide a di-sodium derivative. 

Physical properties. Above members all colourless. Acetone, CH3COCH3, b.p. 56 soluble in water, characteristic odour. Ethyl methyl ketone, b.p. 80°, and diethyl ketone, b.p. 102 , are moderately and sparingly soluble in water respectively. Acetophenone,C6H5COCH3, m.p. 20, sparingly soluble, and benzophenone, m.p.48 ,... 

NOTE. Many esters reduce Fehling s solution on warming. This reduction occurs rapidly with the alkyl esters of many aliphatic acids, but scarcely at all with similar esters of aromatic acids (f.g., ethyl oxalate reduces, but ethyl benzoate does not). Note also that this is a property of the ester itself thus both methyl and ethyl oxalate reduce Fehling s solution very rapidly, whereas neither oxalic acid, nor sodium oxalate, nor a mixture of the alcohol and oxalic acid (or sodium oxalate), reduces the solution. 

Physical Properties. All heavier than, and insoluble in water. All liquids, except iodoform, CHI3, which is a yellow crystalline solid with a characteristic odour. The remainder are colourless liquids when pure ethyl iodide, CjHjI, and iodobenzene, CjHgl, are, however, usually yellow or even brown in colour. Methyl iodide, CH3I, ethyl bromide, CgH Br, ethyl iodide, chloroform, CHCI3, and carbon tetrachloride, CCI4, have sweetish odours, that of chloroform being particularly characteristic. 

Thioethers usually yield sulphonium salts when warmed with ethyl iodide and allowed to cool. The physical properties (b.p., density and refractive index) are useful for identification purposes. 

The alkyl esters of sulphonlc acids exhibit properties similar to those of the alkyl sulphates, and are hydrolysed, by boiling with aqueous alkalis, to the alcohols and sulphonates. Thus with ethyl p-toluenesulphonate ... 

In 1875, Mulder (43) extended the synthesis reaction of thiohydantoine to the ethyl ester and amide of chloroacetic acid. Claus (44) demonstrated the acidic properties of thiohydantoin and its ability to form metallic salts. 

On the other hand, treatment of ethyl a-chloroacetylacetone with 157, Rj = NH4, furnished a product (m.p. 175°C) in very good yield, whose properties agree with the structure of ethyl-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylate (158), Ri=H, R2 = Me, R3 = C02Et) (Scheme 81) (221). 

Hydrolysis of ethyl 4-methyl-2,5-thiazole dicarboxylate (9) or dicar-boxylic acid dichloride gives an excellent yield of 4-methyl-5 thiazole carboxylic acid (10) instead of the dicarboxylic acid (Scheme 6). This lability is a general Property of 2-thiazolecarboxylic acids. 

At one time thiols were named mercaptans Thus CH3CH2SH was called ethyl mercaptan according to this system This nomenclature was abandoned beginning with the 1965 revision of the lUPAC rules but is still sometimes encountered When one encounters a thiol for the first time especially a low molecular weight thiol its most obvious property is its foul odor Ethanethiol is added to natural gas so that leaks can be detected without special equipment—your nose is so sensitive that it can detect less than one part of ethanethiol m 10 000 000 000 parts of arr The odor of thiols weakens...

Physical Properties. Furfuryl alcohol (2-furanmethanol) [98-00-0] is aHquid, colorless, primary alcohol with a mild odor. On exposure to air, it gradually darkens in color. Furfuryl alcohol is completely miscible with water, alcohol, ether, acetone, and ethyl acetate, and most other organic solvents with the exception of paraffinic hydrocarbons. It is an exceUent, highly polar solvent, and dissolves many resins. 

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. 

Ben2onitri1e [100-47-0] C H CN, is a colorless Hquid with a characteristic almondlike odor. Its physical properties are Hsted in Table 10. It is miscible with acetone, ben2ene, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethylene chloride, and other common organic solvents but is immiscible with water at ambient temperatures and soluble to ca 1 wt% at 100°C. It distills at atmospheric pressure without decomposition, but slowly discolors in the presence of light.

Acid—Base Chemistry. Acetic acid dissociates in water, pK = 4.76 at 25°C. It is a mild acid which can be used for analysis of bases too weak to detect in water (26). It readily neutralizes the ordinary hydroxides of the alkaU metals and the alkaline earths to form the corresponding acetates. When the cmde material pyroligneous acid is neutralized with limestone or magnesia the commercial acetate of lime or acetate of magnesia is obtained (7). Acetic acid accepts protons only from the strongest acids such as nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Other acids exhibit very powerful, superacid properties in acetic acid solutions and are thus useful catalysts for esterifications of olefins and alcohols (27). Nitrations conducted in acetic acid solvent are effected because of the formation of the nitronium ion, NO Hexamethylenetetramine [100-97-0] may be nitrated in acetic acid solvent to yield the explosive cycl o trim ethyl en etrin itram in e [121 -82-4] also known as cyclonit or RDX. 

Dichloroacetic acid [79-43-6] (CI2CHCOOH), mol wt 128.94, C2H2CI2O2, is a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis. Physical properties are mp 13.9°C, bp 194°C, density 1.5634 g/mL, and refractive index 1.4658, both at 20°C. The Hquid is totally miscible in water, ethyl alcohol, and ether. Dichloroacetic acid K = 5.14 X 10 ) is a stronger acid than chloroacetic acid. Most chemical reactions are similar to those of chloroacetic acid, although both chlorine...

Vinyl Ethers. The principal commercial vinyl ethers are methyl vinyl ether (methoxyethene, C H O) [107-25-5], ethyl vinyl ether (ethoxyethene, C HgO) [104-92-2], and butyl vinyl ether (1-ethenyloxybutane, C H 20) [111-34-2]. (See Table 8 for physical properties.) Others such as the isopropyl, isobutyl, hydroxybutyl, decyl, hexadecyl, and octadecyl ethers, as well as the divinyl ethers of butanediol and of triethylene glycol, have been offered as development chemicals (see Ethers). 

Table 4 lists a variety of aLkoxypropionaldehydes and certain of thek properties (67). Alcohols up to -butyl have been added to acroleki ki this fashion. Methyl, ethyl, and aHyl alcohols react with ease, while the addition of hexyl or octyl alcohol proceeds ki low yields. Although the aLkoxypropionaldehydes have found only limited kidustrial utiUty, it is anticipated that they will find use as replacements for more toxic solvents. Furthermore, the aLkoxypropionaldehydes may readily be reduced to the corresponding alkoxypropanols, which may also have deskable properties as solvents. 

The polymeric products can be made to vary widely in physical properties through controlled variation in the ratios of monomers employed in thek preparation, cross-linking, and control of molecular weight. They share common quaHties of high resistance to chemical and environmental attack, excellent clarity, and attractive strength properties (see Acrylic ester polymers). In addition to acryHc acid itself, methyl, ethyl, butyl, isobutyl, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylates are manufactured on a large scale and are available in better than 98—99% purity (4). They usually contain 10—200 ppm of hydroquinone monomethyl ether as polymerization inhibitor.

Historically, the development of the acrylates proceeded slowly they first received serious attention from Otto Rohm. AcryUc acid (propenoic acid) was first prepared by the air oxidation of acrolein in 1843 (1,2). Methyl and ethyl acrylate were prepared in 1873, but were not observed to polymerize at that time (3). In 1880 poly(methyl acrylate) was reported by G. W. A. Kahlbaum, who noted that on dry distillation up to 320°C the polymer did not depolymerize (4). Rohm observed the remarkable properties of acryUc polymers while preparing for his doctoral dissertation in 1901 however, a quarter of a century elapsed before he was able to translate his observations into commercial reaUty. He obtained a U.S. patent on the sulfur vulcanization of acrylates in 1912 (5). Based on the continuing work in Rohm s laboratory, the first limited production of acrylates began in 1927 by the Rohm and Haas Company in Darmstadt, Germany (6). Use of this class of compounds has grown from that time to a total U.S. consumption in 1989 of approximately 400,000 metric tons. Total worldwide consumption is probably twice that. 

Mechanical and Thermal Properties. The first member of the acrylate series, poly(methyl acrylate), has fltde or no tack at room temperature it is a tough, mbbery, and moderately hard polymer. Poly(ethyl acrylate) is more mbberflke, considerably softer, and more extensible. Poly(butyl acrylate) is softer stiU, and much tackier. This information is quantitatively summarized in Table 2 (41). In the alkyl acrylate series, the softness increases through n-octy acrylate. As the chain length is increased beyond n-octy side-chain crystallization occurs and the materials become brittle (42) poly( -hexadecyl acrylate) is hard and waxlike at room temperature but is soft and tacky above its softening point. 

The physical properties of the monomers must be discussed along with those of the cured polymers because consideration of one without the other presents an incomplete picture. The 2-cyanoacryhc ester monomers are all thin, water-clear Hquids with viscosities of 1 3 mPa-s(=cP). Although a number of the esters have been prepared and characterized, only a relative few are of any significant commercial interest, and, of those, the methyl and ethyl esters by far predominate. The physical properties of the principal monomers are included in Table 1.
