Emulsion Process. The emulsion polymerization process utilizes water as a continuous phase with the reactants suspended as microscopic particles. This low viscosity system allows facile mixing and heat transfer for control purposes. An emulsifier is generally employed to stabilize the water insoluble monomers and other reactants, and to prevent reactor fouling. With SAN the system is composed of water, monomers, chain-transfer agents for molecular weight control, emulsifiers, and initiators. Both batch and semibatch processes are employed. Copolymerization is normally carried out at 60 to 100°C to conversions of - 97%. Lower temperature polymerization can be achieved with redox-initiator systems (51). 

A simpler nonphosgene process for the manufacture of isocyanates consists of the reaction of amines with carbon dioxide in the presence of an aprotic organic solvent and a nitrogeneous base. The corresponding ammonium carbamate is treated with a dehydrating agent. This concept has been apphed to the synthesis of aromatic and aUphatic isocyanates. The process rehes on the facile formation of amine—carbon dioxide salts using acid haUdes such as phosphoryl chloride [10025-87-3] and thionyl chloride [7719-09-7] (30). 

Monsanto has disclosed the use of carbon dioxide—amine complexes which are dehydrated, at low temperatures, with phosphoryl chloride [10025-87-3] or thionyl chloride [7719-09-7] as a viable route to a variety of aUphatic isocyanates. The process rehes on the facile formation of the intermediate salt (30).REPLACEVariations of this process, in which phosgene is used as a dehydrating agent, have been reported earlier (84). Table 2 Hsts commercially available aUphatic isocyanates. 

Exploiting the relative basicity of the xylene isomers, commercial units employ superacids, typically HE—BF, as the acid complexing agent for the separation of / -xylene (feedstock for isophthalic acid) (15). Amoco produces high purity / -xylene at its Texas City facility using the HE—BF process (see Btx processing). Similar processes can be used for the separation of high purity mesitylene and isodurene from their and C q isomers, respectively. 

Indeed the cobalt(III) ion is sufficientiy unstable in water to result in release of oxygen and formation of cobalt(II) ion. Under alkaline conditions the oxidation is much more facile and in the presence of complexing agents, eg, ammonia or cyanide, the oxidation may occur with ease or even spontaneously. 

Isomerization of 3-cephems (27) to 2-cephems (28) takes place in the presence of organic bases (e.g. pyridine) and is most facile when the carboxyl is esterified. Normally an equilibrium mixture of 3 7 (3-cephem/2-cephem) is reached. Since the 2-cephem isomers are not active as antibacterial agents, the rearrangement proved to be an undesirable side reaction that complicated acylation of the C-7 amine under certain conditions. A method for converting such mixtures to the desired 3-cephem isomer involves oxidation with concomitant rearrangement to the 3-cephem sulfoxide followed by reduction. Additions... 

Import is defined as causing the chemical to be imported into the customs territory of the United States. If you order a covered toxic chemical (or a mixture containing the chemical) from a foreign supplier, then you have imported the chemical when that shipment arrives at your facility directly from a source outside of the United States. By ordering the chemical, you have caused it to be imported," even though you may have used an import brokerage firm as an agent to obtain the chemical. 

Alkylation of enamines can take place on carbon or on nitrogen (see Section I). The theoretical considerations and reaction conditions which determine whether C or N alkylation takes place have already been studied extensively 26-32). These studies have shown that the facility with which alkylation takes place depends on the basicity of theenamine, on the ease of formation of a trigonal atom in the transition state, and on the nature of the enamine, the alkylating agent, and the solvent. 

Regarding fires, water is the primary extinguishing agent, and it should be available in adequate supply and pressure at all of the locations in the plant. The layout for various types of installations and the appropriate recommendations are found in the standards of the National Fire Protection Association. Fire hydrants, hose lines, automatic sprinkler and water spray systems should all be a part of the permanent equipment facilities of the plant. 

A lipid lowering agent of potential value in hypercholesterolemia is cetaben (31). It is synthesized facilely by monoalkylation of ethyl -aminobenzoate with hexadecyl bromide and then saponification. " ... 

Viprostol (81) also incorporates a hydroxy group moved to C-16 and protects this from facile metabolic oxidation by vinylation. It is a potent hypotensive and vasodilatory agent both orally and transdermally. The methyl ester moiety is rapidly hydrolyzed in skin and in the liver so it is essentially a prodrug. It is synthesized from protected E-iodo olefin 78 (compare with 75) by conversion to the mixed organocuprate and this added in a 1,4-sense to olefin 79 to produce protected intermediate 80. The synthesis of viprostol concludes by deblocking with acetic acid and then reesterification with diazomethane to give 81 [19]. 

The tightly bound chromophore could be extracted from the protein with methanol [186], and the major component of the extract was determined to have the enediyne structure 116 (Figure 11.21), related to chromophores of other chromoprotein antitumor agents such as neocarzinostatin. Additional minor components were extracted, variously containing an OH group instead of OMe attached to the enediyne core, with Cl instead of OMe when chloride was present in the buffer salt, or with OEt instead of OMe when ethanol was used for the extraction. Another byproduct was isolated in the form of structure 117, consistent with a facile cy-doaromatization reaction as observed for all other enediyne antibiotics. Surprisingly, 117 also displayed antibiotic and antitumor activity, perhaps due to alkylation of DNA or protein by the aziridine. The interpretation of these results was that 116 and the other enediyne byproducts were merely artifacts of the extraction procedure and that the true structure of the maduropeptin chromophore is the aziridine 118.
