Fragmentations benzene and

Cholestenone. Place a mixture of 1 0 g. of purified cholesterol and 0-2 g. of cupric oxide in a test-tube clamped securely at the top, add a fragment of Dry Ice in order to displace the air by carbon dioxide, and insert a plug of cotton wool in the mouth of the tube. Heat in a metal bath at 300-315° for 15 minutes and allow to cool rotate the test-tube occasionally in order to spread the melt on the sides. Warm with a few ml. of benzene and pour the black suspension directly into the top of a previously prepared chromatographic column (1) rinse the test-tube with a little more benzene and pour the rinsings into the column. With the aid of shght suction (> 3-4 cm. of mercury), draw the solution into the alumina column stir the top 0 -5 cm. or so with a stout copper wire to... 

B. 5-Hexynal. To a solution of 5.60 g. (0.050 mole) of 2,3-epoxycyclohexanone in 120 ml. of benzene in a 500-ml. round-bottomed flask is added 10.82 g. (0.051 mole) of trans-1 -amino-2,3 diphenylaziri-dine.2 Initially, after brief swirling at room temperature, the reaction mixture is a colorless, homogeneous solution however it rapidly turns yellow and cloudy due to separation of water. After 2 hours the benzene and water are removed as an azeotrope under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator with the bath maintained at approximately 30°. The resulting crude mixture of diastereomeric hydrazones weighs 15.4 g. (Note 7) and is subjected directly to the fragmentation reaction (Note 8). 

COARSE-GRAINED INTERMOLECULAR POTENTIALS DERIVED FROM THE EFFECTIVE FRAGMENT POTENTIAL APPLICATION TO WATER, BENZENE, AND CARBON TETRACHLORIDE... 

Reactions (19)-(21) represent the dissociation of benzene and reactions (22)-(26) represent the detection of fragments by VUV laser photoionization. The line-shape images resulted from these reactions. 

An example of a 6-endo cyclization of an alcohol onto an alkene radical cation/phosphate anion pair has also been described (Scheme 22). In order to bring about fragmentation of the primary alkyl phosphate bond in this reaction it was necessary to work in a 1 1 mixture of benzene and acetonitrile [139,140],... 

Thermal decomposition of RhH(CO)(PPh3)3, the well known hydroformylation catalyst, in the absence of H2 and CO leads to a stable cluster shown in Figure 2.36 containing p2-PPh2 fragments [31], Under hydroformylation conditions also other products are found such as benzaldehyde, benzene, and diphenylpropylphosphine. 

If the side chain is in an iso form, a more complex aromatic olefin forms. Isopropyl benzene leads to a methyl styrene and styrene [70], The long-chain alkylate aromatics decay to styrene, phenyl, benzyl, benzene, and alkyl fragments. The oxidation processes of the xylenes follow somewhat similar mechanisms [71, 72],... 

EGA. An isometric representation of the ion profiles characteristic of the gases evolved from the silicone-epoxy compounds are presented in Figures 4 and 5 for samples D(FR) and E(no-FR), respectively. From these data the initial weight loss observed in the TGA measurements of these samples (50-150OC) is identified as being due to evolution of benzene (m/e=78 parent ion m/e39, 50, 51 and 52 fragment ions) and, to a lesser extent, water vapor (m/e=17, 18). Contributions from other species are minor.
