Add about 60 ml. of petroleum (b.p, 60-80°) with stirring to the fraction of b,p, 150-180°, thus precipitating the pure anhydrous pinacol (2 5-3 8 ) Filter this off, and then shake the filtrate with ca. 4 ml, of water the remaining pinacol now separates as the hexahydrate (5 g.). The two crops may be united and recrystallised from ca. 10 ml, of water (total yield of hexahydrate, 8-9 g,). Dry and bottle the product rapidly as described in (a). 

The technique of the filtration of hot solutions has already been described in Section 11,28. The filtration of cold solutions will now be considered this operation is usually carried out when it is desired to separate a crystalline solid from the mother liquor in which it is suspended. When substantial quantities of a solid are to be handled, a Buchner funnel of convenient size is employed. The ordinary Buchner fimnel (Fig. 11,1, 7, a) consists of a cylindrical porcelain funnel carrying a fixed, flat, perforated porcelain plate. It is fitted by means of a rubber stopper or a good cork into the neck of a thick-walled filtering flask (also termed filter flask, Buchner flask or suction flask) (Fig. 11,1, 7, c), which is connected by means of thick-walled rubber tubing (rubber pressure tubing) to a similar flask or safety bottle, and the latter is attached by rubber pressure tubing to a filter pump the safety bottle or trap is essential since a sudden fall in water pressure may result in the water sucking back. The use of suction renders rapid filtration possihle... 

Place 45 g. (43 ml.) of benzal chloride (Section IV,22), 250 ml. of water and 75 g. of precipitated calcium carbonate (1) in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask fltted with a reflux condenser, and heat the mixture for 4 hours in an oil bath maintained at 130°. It is advantageous to pass a current of carbon dioxide through the apparatus. Filter off the calcium salts, and distil the filtrate in steam (Fig. II, 40, 1) until no more oil passes over (2). Separate the benzaldehyde from the steam distillate by two extractions with small volumes of ether, distil off most of the ether on a water bath, and transfer the residual benzaldehyde to a wide-mouthed bottle or flask. Add excess of a concentrated solution of sodium bisulphite in portions with stirring or shaking stopper the vessel and shake vigorously until the odour of benzaldehyde can no longer be detected. Filter the paste of the benzaldehyde bisulphite compound at the pump... 

Dissolve 5 g. of phenol in 75 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution contained in a wide-mouthed reagent bottle or conical flask of about 200 ml. capacity. Add 11 g. (9 ml.) of redistilled benzoyl chloride, cork the vessel securely, and shake the mixture vigorously for 15-20 minutes. At the end of this period the reaction is usually practically complete and a sohd product is obtained. Filter oflf the soUd ester with suction, break up any lumps on the filter, wash thoroughly with water and drain well. RecrystaUise the crude ester from rectified (or methylated) spirit use a quantity of hot solvent approximately twice the minimum volume required for complete solution in order to ensure that the ester does not separate until the temperature of the solution has fallen below the melting point of phenyl benzoate. Filter the hot solution, if necessary, through a hot water funnel or through a Buchner funnel preheated by the filtration of some boiling solvent. Colourless crystals of phenyl benzoate, m.p. 69°, are thus obtained. The yield is 8 g. 

If the atophan does not crystallise—this is rarely the case unless pyruvic acid which has been standing for some time is employed—pour the reaction mixture into a solution of 2a g. of potassium hydroxide in 1 litre of water, and extract the resulting solution two or three times with ether. Place the ether extracts in the ETHER RESIDUES bottle. Treat the aqueous layer with 70 ml. of glacial acetic acid with vigorous stirring. Allow to stand for several hours and collect the crude atophan by filtration with suction. 

Step 1. Extraction and separation of the acidic components. Shake 5-10 g. of the sohd mixture (or of the residue R obtained after the removal of the solvent on a water bath) with 50 ml. of pure ether. If there is a residue (this probably belongs to Solubihty Group II or it may be a polysaccharide), separate it by filtration, preferably through a sintered glass funnel, and wash it with a Uttle ether. Shake the resulting ethereal solution in a smaU separatory funnel with 15 ml. portions of 5 per cent, aqueous sodium hydroxide solution until all the acidic components have been removed. Three portions of alkaU are usuaUy sufficient. Set aside the residual ethereal solution (Fj) for Step 2. Combine the sodium hydroxide extracts and wash the resulting mixture with 15-20 ml. of ether place the ether in the ETHER RESIDUES bottle. Render the alkaline extract acid to litmus with dilute sulphuric acid and then add excess of sohd sodium bicarbonate. 

Although it is sometimes encouraged in white wines, particularly barrel-fermented Chardonnay, this fermentation tends to lower fmitiness and be considered undesirable in other white wines unless acidity is too high. This is also tme for pink and light red wines. If it occurs after bottling, a gassy, cloudy wine results. In such wines, it can be avoided by careful attention to clarification or filtration sufficient to remove the bacteria, by adding SO2 at appropriate intervals as an inhibitor, or by pasteurization. 

Vodka. Vodka is a neutral spirit made from any fermentable material and distiUed in such a manner that is without any distinctive character, taste, aroma, or color. Charcoal filtration is often used in processing vodka which is bottled at 80° proof or higher. In the United States, the substrate must be specified if it is not grain. Any flavoring, if added, must be stated. The product must be bottled at not less than 70° proof and caUed a flavored vodka. 

Filtration. Diatomite is used as a filter aid for appHcations with difficult-to-filter soflds to improve permeabiUty of the filter cake, to prevent the blinding of filter elements, and where high clarity is required such as in the poHsh filtration of wine (qv) or beer (qv) before bottling. It is also used in sugar (qv) refining, water treatment, and in the production of fmit juices (qv) and industrial chemicals. 

The reaction mixture is filtered through a Hirsch or Buchner funnel, and the bottle is rinsed with 50 ml. of benzene, which is also poured through the funnel. The filtrate is washed with two 50-ml. portions of 10% sodium chloride solution and three 2S-ml. portions of water (Note 4). The washings are extracted with three 10-ml. portions of benzene, and the combined benzene solutions are distilled under reduced pressure from a 250-ml. modified Claisen flask. The yield of ethyl -butylcyanoacetate, b.p. 108-109°/9 mm., is 79-81 g. (94-96%, based on the ethyl cyano-acetate used) (Note 5). 

The catalyst is previously prepared in an apparatus for catalytic hydrogenation, in which are placed 0.5 g. of palladous chloride, 3.0 g. of Norite, and 20 ml. of distilled water. The bottle is swept out with hydrogen and then shaken with hydrogen for 2-3 hours at 2-3 atmospheres (40 lb.) pressure. The palladium on carbon is collected on a Biichner funnel, washed with five 50-ml. portions of distilled water, then with five 50-ml. portions of 95% ethanol, and finally twice with ether. Upon drying, about 3 g. of the catalyst is obtained. It is stored in a vacuum desiccator over solid sodium hydroxide. If the reduction of the chloro-lepidine does not proceed normally, the used catalyst should be removed by suction filtration and a fresh 3-g. portion of catalyst added. Failure of the reduction step is usually due to an inactive catalyst or to impurities in the acetic acid or chlorolepidine. The palladium catalysts, prepared as described elsewhere in this volume, are presumably also satisfactory for the reduction of 2-chlorolepidine (p. 77). 

B. Palladium on carhon catalyst (5% Pd). A suspension of 93 g. of nitric acid-washed Darco G-60 (Note 10) in 1.21. of water contained in a 4-1. beaker (Notes 3 and 4) is heated to 80°. To this is added a solution of 8.2 g. (0.046 mole) of palladium chloride in 20 ml. (0.24 mole) of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 50 ml. of water (Note 2). Eight milliliters (0.1 mole) of 37% formaldehyde solution is added. The suspension is made slightly alkaline to litmus with 30% sodium hydroxide solution, constant stirring being maintained. The suspension is stirred 5 minutes longer. The catalyst is collected on a filter and washed ten times with 250-ml. portions of water. After removal of as much water as possible by filtration, the filter cake is dried (Note 11), first in air at room temperature, and then over potassium hydroxide in a desiccator. The dry catalyst (93-98 g.) is stored in a tightly closed bottle. 

A. a-Methoxyphenasine condensation). Two hundred grams (0.42 mole) of powdered lead dioxide (Note 1) is added to a solution of 10 g. (0.07 mole) of pyrogallol monomethyl ether (p. 90) in 3 1. of dry benzene in a 1-gal. narrow-necked acid bottle. The bottle and contents are placed in a shaking machine and shaken for 10-20 minutes (Note 2). The reddish brown solid is filtered through an 11-cm. Buchner funnel, and the filter cake is washed once with 400 ml. of benzene. To this filtrate there is added, immediately and with mechanical stirring, a solution of 6 g. (0.06 mole) of o-phenylenediamine (Note 3) in a mixture of 80 ml. of glacial acetic acid and 200 ml. of benzene. The solu-... 

A. Triphenylmethylphosphonium bromide. A solution of 55 g. (0.21 mole) of triphenylphosphine dissolved in 45 ml. of dry benzene is placed in a pressure bottle, the bottle is cooled in an ice-salt mixture, and 28 g. (0.29 mole) of previously condensed methyl bromide is added (Note 1). The bottle is sealed, allowed to stand at room temperature for 2 days, and is reopened. The white solid is collected by means of suction filtration with the aid of about 500 ml. of hot benzene and is dried in a vacuum oven at 100° over phosphorus pentoxide. The yield is 74 g. (99%), m.p. 232-233°.
