Formation of Acetals

Mercaptals, CH2CH(SR)2, are formed in a like manner by the addition of mercaptans. The formation of acetals by noncatalytic vapor-phase reactions of acetaldehyde and various alcohols at 35°C has been reported (67). Butadiene [106-99-0] can be made by the reaction of acetaldehyde and ethyl alcohol at temperatures above 300°C over a tantala—siUca catalyst (68). Aldol and crotonaldehyde are beheved to be intermediates. Butyl acetate [123-86-4] has been prepared by the catalytic reaction of acetaldehyde with 1-butanol [71-36-3] at 300°C (69). [Pg.51]

Acetaldehyde oxidation generates peroxyacetic acid which then reacts with more acetaldehyde to yield acetaldehyde monoperoxyacetate [7416-48-0], the Loesch ester (26). Subsequently, parallel reactions lead to formation of acetic acid and anhydride plus water. [Pg.76]

The LC q (lowest possible lethal concentration) has been reported to be 23 ppm for a 30 min exposure time (mouse), 53 ppm for an exposure time of 100 min (rat, rabbit, and guinea pig), and 200 ppm for an exposure time of 10 min (monkey). No toxic effects were reported upon exposure to 1 ppm for 7 h/d over 55 days. The oral LD q (rat) of ketene is 1300 mg/kg, the low level of toxicity probably being due to the almost immediate formation of acetic acid and other acetates in the digestive tract. [Pg.476]

The formation of acetals with methanol, ethanol, or ethylene glycol in the presence of an acid catalyst such as hydrogen chloride or ben2enesulfonic acid is straightforward. Sodium bisulfite and hydroxjlamine form adducts with cinnamaldehyde that are used in typical quantitative analysis protocols. [Pg.175]

Aconitine produces an intense tingling sensation when a drop of a solution, 1 in 10,000, is applied to the tip of the tongue. It also gives a characteristic unstable, crystalline precipitate when a few drops of potassium permanganate solution are added to a solution of the alkaloid in dilute acetic acid. The formation of acetic acid when the alkaloid is heated dry, or of benzoic acid when it is hydrolysed by alkali, have also been suggested as identification tests. For the recognition of minute quantities a biological test is probably the best procedure. ... [Pg.675]

Clearly, the presence of sodium hydroxide has mostly neutralized the acidity of the acetic acid through formation of acetate ion. [Pg.48]

HOfCHjljOH, AI2O3, PhCH3 or CCI4, heat, 24 h, 80-100% yield. These conditions are selective for the formation of acetals from aldehydes in the presence of ketones. [Pg.313]

Hydrogenation of carbonyls, or incipient carbonyls such as phenols (86), in lower alcohol solvents may result in the formation of ethers. The ether arises through formation of acetals or ketals with subsequent hydrogenolysis. The reaction has been made the basis of certain ether syntheses (45,97). Reaction of alcohols with carbonyls may be promoted by trace contamination, such as iron in platinum oxide (22,53), but it is also a property of the hydrogenation catalyst itself. So strong is the tendency of palladium-hydrogen to promote acetal formation that acetals may form even in basic media (61). [Pg.68]

Treatment of N-acetyl aziridinecarboxylate with acetic anhydride and heating resulted in the aziridine ring-opened product [106], whereas treatment of the aziridine 137 (Scheme 3.49) with acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine and DMAP as base similarly resulted in the formation of acetate 138 in 90% yield [45]. [Pg.92]

A plausible pathway is that the aromatisation of the cyclohexadienone 92 by a proton shift is accelerated in the presence of Ac20 under formation of acetate 93. The simultaneously generated acetic acid then cleaves the acetate to form the free phenol 94 (Scheme 44). This effect was observed for the first time during studies towards the total synthesis of the lipid-alternating and anti-atherosclerotic furochromone khellin 99 [64].The furanyl carbene chromium complex 96 was supposed to react with alkoxyalkyne 95 in a benzannulation reaction to give the densely substituted benzofuran derivative 97 (Scheme 45). Upon warming the reaction mixture in tetrahydrofuran to 65 °C the reaction was completed in 4 h, but only a dimerisation product could be isolated. This... [Pg.146]

Using the above procedures, allyl a-azido alkyl ethers of type 281 were prepared by employing an unsaturated alcohol such as allyl alcohol [76] (Scheme 32). The reaction of an aldehyde with allyl alcohol and HN3 in a ratio of 1 3 9 carried out in the presence of TiCl4 as catalyst provided azido ethers 281, 283, and 285 in 70-90% yield. The ratio of reagents is critical to ensure a high yield of azido ether and to prevent formation of acetal and diazide side products [75]. Thermolysis of azido alkenes 281, 283, and 285 in benzene (the solvent of choice) for 6-20 h led to 2,5-dihydrooxazoles 282,284, and 286, respectively, in 66-90% yield. [Pg.41]

See Section 60A (Protection of Aldehydes) and Section 180A (Protection of Ketones) for reactions involving formation of Acetals and Ketals. [Pg.341]

The use of the enolsilyl ether of 1-menthone [16, 19, 21-23] and of some free triflic acid favors the formation of the thermodynamically controlled products as with free 2,2 -dihydroxydiphenyl [22] and only subsequently added HMDS 2 [22]. On reacting silylated alcohols and carbonyl compounds with pure trimethylsilyl triflate 20 under strictly anhydrous conditions no conversion to acetals is observed [24]. Apparently, only addition of minor amounts of humidity to hydrolyze TMSOTf 20 to the much stronger free triflic acid and hexamethyldisiloxane 7 or addition of traces of free triflic acid [18-21, 24, 26] or HCIO4 [25] leads to formation of acetals. [Pg.85]

The first attempt to synthesize and characterize Kegj -type heteropoly acid supported on various mesoporous silicas and its application to add catalysis in the formation of acetic anhydride via dehydration of acetic acid were described in this study. A variety of characterization techniques such as Na adsorption, TEM and XRD were applied... [Pg.785]

Figure 6.1 Synthesis and metabolism of acetylcholine. Choline is acetylated by reacting with acetyl-CoA in the presence of choline acetyltransferase to form acetylcholine (1). The acetylcholine binds to the anionic site of cholinesterase and reacts with the hydroxy group of serine on the esteratic site of the enzyme (2). The cholinesterase thus becomes acetylated and choline splits off to be taken back into the nerve terminal for further ACh synthesis (3). The acetylated enzyme is then rapidly hydrolised back to its active state with the formation of acetic acid (4)... Figure 6.1 Synthesis and metabolism of acetylcholine.

Knowledge of stoichiometry of the induced reaction could help to distinguish whether chromium(V) or chromium(IV) species are involved in the oxidation of benzaldehyde. Thus, the Cr(V) hypothesis predicts that for each molecule of benzaldehyde oxidized two molecules of manganese dioxide should be formed, whereas the Cr(IV) predicts that one molecule of manganese dioxide should be formed for each two molecules of benzaldehyde oxidized. Unfortunately, the attempt to determine the stoichiometry of the induced reaction failed because the oxidized manganese species was not precipitated during the reaction presumably due to formation of acetate complexes in the concentrated acetic acid solution. [Pg.530]

Taurine is degraded aerobically either by a 2-ketoglntarate-dependent dioxygenation to aminoacetaldehyde (Kertesz 1999) (cf. degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate) or by transamination and fission by a lyase that is also nsed anaerobically with the formation of acetate (Cook et al. 1999). [Pg.590]

Citraconic anhydride (Methyl maleic anhydride) was found to be produced from pyruvic acid by an oxidative decarboxy-condensation. The best catalyst is iron phosphate with a P/Fe atomic ratio of 1.2. The presence of oxygen is required to promote the reaction. The main side-reaction is formation of acetic acid and CO2 by oxidative C-C bond fission. The best results are obtained at a temperature of 200°C. The yield of citraconic anhydride reaches 71 mol% at a pyruvic acid conversion of 98%. [Pg.201]

The selectivity to citraconic anhydride decreases and that to acetic acid increases as the temperature is raised. The results indicate that the activation energy for the formation of citraconic anhydride is much lower than that for the formation of acetic acid. The selectivity to acetic acid decreases steadily with a lowering of the temperature. However, the highest selectivity to citraconic anhydride is obtained at 200°C. Possibly vaporization of pyruvic acid may become difficult at temperatures below 200°C. The yield of citraconic anhydride reached 71 mol% and that of acetic acid was 7 mol% at the pyruvic acid conversion of 98% the loss was about 20 mol%. [Pg.206]

The isolation of benzvalene (61) from the irradiation of benzene at 254 nm and the observation that this compound produces the expected bicyclic ethers when treated with acidified methanol lend credence to the intermediacy of (61).(90> Photolysis of benzene in acetic acid was found to result in formation of acetates (64)—(67), with the product composition changing with time ... [Pg.568]
