Exothermic reactions addition reaction

An early transition state is commonly assumed for exothermic radical addition reactions, and this enables approximation of the transition state geometry based on the ground-state structure. From this assumption, we hypothesized that a substituent above or below the plane of the C=N bond in the ground state hydrazone structure... 

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES generally stable will not polymerize reacts vigorously with disilane when exposed to sunlight addition to acetone in the presence of a base will result in a highly exothermic reaction addition to methanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide will result in an exothermic reaction develops acidity Ifom prolonged exposure to air and light HF (134.5 kJ/mol liquid at 25°C) Hf (8.8 kJ/mol at 209.5K). 

In addition to the advantage of high heat transfer rates, fluidized beds are also useful in situations where catalyst particles need frequent regeneration. Under these circumstances, particles can be removed continuously from the bed, regenerated, and recycled back to the bed. In exothermic reactions, the recycling of catalyst can be... 

A sodium stannite solution was prepared by addition of aqueous sodium hydroxide (2.5 mol, lOOg) to aqueous stannous chloride (0.25 mol, 56g). The initially formed precipitate redissolved to form a clear solution. This solution was gradually added to a solution of 16.3g (0.1 mol) phenyl-2-nitropropene in THF at room temperature. A slightly exothermic reaction ensued, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min, a saturated sodium chloride solution was added, and the solution was extracted with ether and the pooled extracts were evaporated under vacuum to give essentially pure P2P oxime in 80% yield. 

To a solution of ethylnagnesium bromide in 350 ml of THF, prepared from 0.5 mol of ethyl bromide (see Chapter 11, Exp. 6) was added in 10 min at 10°C 0.47 mol of 1-hexyne (Exp. 62) and at 0°C 0.47 mol of trimethylsilylacetylene (Exp. 31) or a solution of 0.60 mol of propyne in 70 ml of THF (cooled below -20°C). With trimethyl si lylacetylene an exothermic reaction started almost immediately, so that efficient cooling in a bath of dry-ice and acetone was necessary in order to keep the temperature between 10 and 15°C. When the exothermic reaction had subsided, the mixture was warmed to 20°C and was kept at that temperature for 1 h. With 1-hexyne the cooling bath was removed directly after the addition and the temperature was allowed to rise to 40-45°C and was maintained at that level for 1 h. 

To a suspension of a tinc-copper couple in 150 ml of 100 ethanol, prepared from 80 g of zinc powder (see Chapter II, Exp. 18), was added at room temperature 0.10 mol of the acetylenic chloride (see Chapter VIII-2, Exp. 7). After a few minutes an exothermic reaction started and the temperature rose to 45-50°C (note 1). When this reaction had subsided, the mixture was cooled to 35-40°C and 0,40 mol of the chloride was added over a period of 15 min, while maintaining the temperature around 40°C (occasional cooling). After the addition stirring was continued for 30 min at 55°C, then the mixture was cooled to room temperature and the upper layer was decanted off. The black slurry of zinc was rinsed five times with 50-ml portions of diethyl ether. The alcoholic solution and the extracts were combined and washed three times with 100-ml portions of 2 N HCl, saturated with ammonium chloride. 

To a mixture of 65 ml of dry benzene and 0.10 mol of freshly distilled NN-di-ethylamino-l-propyne were added 3 drops of BFa.ether and 0.12 mol of dry propargyl alcohol was added to the reddish solution in 5 min. The temperature rose in 5-10 min to about 45°C, remained at this level for about 10 min and then began to drop. The mixture was warmed to 60°C, whereupon the exothermic reaction made the temperature rise in a few minutes to B5 c. This level was maintained by occasional cooling. After the exothermic reaction (3,3-sigmatropic rearrangement) had subsided, the mixture was heated for an additional 10 min at 80°C and the benzene was then removed in a water-pump vacuum. The red residue was practically pure acid amide... 

A mixture of 0.30 mol of the tertiairy acetylenic alcohol, 0.35 mol of acetyl chloride (freshly distilled) and 0.35 mol of /V/V-diethylaniline was gradually heated with manual swirling. At 40-50°C an exothermic reaction started and the temperature rose in a few minutes to 120°C. It was kept at that level by occasional cooling. After the exothermic reaction had subsided, the mixture was heated for an additional 10 min at 125-130°C, during which the mixture was swirled by hand so that the salt that had been deposited on the glass wall was redissolved. After cooling to below 50°C a mixture of 5 ml of 36% HCl and 200 ml of ice-water was added and the obtained solution was extracted with small portions of diethyl ether. The ethereal solutions were washed with water and subsequently dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by evaporation in a water-pump vacuum... 

In the flask were placed a solution of 7 g of anhydrous LiBr in 50 ml of dry THF, 0.40 mol of the allenic bromide (see Chapter VI, Exp. 31) and 0.50 mol of finely powdered copper(I) cyanide. The mixture was swirled by hand and the temperature rose in about 15 min to 60°C. It was kept between 55 and 60°C by occasional cooling in a water-bath. When the exothermic reaction had subsided, the flask was warmed for an additional 30 min at 55-60°C and the brown solution was then poured into a vigorously stirred solution of 30 g of NaCN and 100 g of NH,C1 in 300 ml of water, to which 150 ml of diethyl ether had been added. During this operation the temperature was kept below 20 c. The reaction flask was subsequently rinsed with the NaCN solution. After separation of the layers the aqueous layer was extracted with ether. The extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and then concentrated... 

Alky]-5-imino-3-methy -A2-l,2,4-thiadiazoIines react exotherm ally at 0°C with dibenzoy] or dimethoxy carbonylacetylenes in tetrahydrofuran to give the 2-alkylaminothiazoles in high yields (1564). The cycio addition reaction of 2-pyridyl isothiocyanates with 1-azirines results in the formation of 2-pyridylaminothiazoles (1565). 

With aldehydes, primary alcohols readily form acetals, RCH(OR )2. Acetone also forms acetals (often called ketals), (CH2)2C(OR)2, in an exothermic reaction, but the equiUbrium concentration is small at ambient temperature. However, the methyl acetal of acetone, 2,2-dimethoxypropane [77-76-9] was once made commercially by reaction with methanol at low temperature for use as a gasoline additive (5). Isopropenyl methyl ether [116-11-OJ, useful as a hydroxyl blocking agent in urethane and epoxy polymer chemistry (6), is obtained in good yield by thermal pyrolysis of 2,2-dimethoxypropane. With other primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, the equiUbrium is progressively less favorable to the formation of ketals, in that order. However, acetals of acetone with other primary and secondary alcohols, and of other ketones, can be made from 2,2-dimethoxypropane by transacetalation procedures (7,8). Because they hydroly2e extensively, ketals of primary and especially secondary alcohols are effective water scavengers. 

Between 50 and 60% of the formaldehyde is formed by the exothermic reaction (eq. 23) and the remainder by endothermic reaction (eq. 24) with the net result of a reaction exotherm. Carbon monoxide and dioxide, methyl formate, and formic acid are by-products. In addition, there are also physical losses, hquid-phase reactions, and small quantities of methanol in the product, resulting in an overall plant yield of 86—90% (based on methanol). 

In contrast to the silver process, all of the formaldehyde is made by the exothermic reaction (eq. 23) at essentially atmospheric pressure and at 300—400°C. By proper temperature control, a methanol conversion greater than 99% can be maintained. By-products are carbon monoxide and dimethyl ether, in addition to small amounts of carbon dioxide and formic acid. Overall plant yields are 88—92%. 

Another method of preparing mercuric acetate is the oxidation of mercury metal using peracetic acid dissolved in acetic acid. Careful control of the temperature is extremely important because the reaction is quite exothermic. A preferred procedure is the addition of approximately half to two-thirds of the required total of peracetic acid solution to a dispersion of mercury metal in acetic acid to obtain the mercurous salt, followed by addition of the remainder of the peracetic acid to form the mercuric salt. The exothermic reaction is carried to completion by heating slowly and cautiously to reflux. This also serves to decompose excess peracid. It is possible and perhaps more economical to use 50% hydrogen peroxide instead of peracetic acid, but the reaction does not go quite as smoothly. 

This reaction is slightly exothermic, but additional heat is required to maintain the operating temperature at 800—900°C.
