A selection of important anionic surfactants is displayed in table C2.3.1. Carboxylic acid salts or tire soaps are tire best known anionic surfactants. These materials were originally derived from animal fats by saponification. The ionized carboxyl group provides tire anionic charge. Examples witlr hydrocarbon chains of fewer tlran ten carbon atoms are too soluble and tliose witlr chains longer tlran 20 carbon atoms are too insoluble to be useful in aqueous applications. They may be prepared witlr cations otlrer tlran sodium. 

Example Solvation can have a profound effect on the potential energy profile for a reaction. Jorgensen s research group provided important insights into the role of solvation. Consider the nucleophilic addition of the hydroxide anion to formaldehyde ... 

Note that p-acetamidobenzenesulphonyl chloride will similarly react with primary and secondary amines, and the products, after hydrolysis of the acetyl group, may furnish notable drugs e.g., the condensation products with 2-amino-pyridine and 2-aminothiazole, after remo al of the acetyl groups, provide the drugs commonly known as sulphapyridine (M B 693) and sulphathidzole respectively. 

The longest continuous chain that contains the —CH group provides the base name for aldehydes The e ending of the corresponding alkane name is replaced by al and sub stituents are specified m the usual way It is not necessary to specify the location of O... 

Table 17 2 summarizes the reactions of aldehydes and ketones that you ve seen m ear her chapters All are valuable tools to the synthetic chemist Carbonyl groups provide access to hydrocarbons by Clemmensen or Wolff-Kishner reduction (Section 12 8) to alcohols by reduction (Section 15 2) or by reaction with Grignard or organolithmm reagents (Sections 14 6 and 14 7)... 

Akylsilanes are more reactive than vinylskanes in Friedel-Crafts reactions, as shown in the selective acylation of 2,3-disilylalkenes. The akylsilanes, a-skyloxyakyltrialkylsilanes, have been used as enolate equivalents in the preparation of 1,4-diketones (178). The mild reaction conditions required for these reactions tolerate many other functional groups, providing valuable synthetic routes. 

This article discusses the benzenepolycarboxyhc acids, their anhydrides, and their esters. Table 1 includes lUPAC nomenclature, common names, and CAS Registry Numbers for the benzenepolycarboxyhc acids. These acids and anhydrides are highly stable. The carboxyUc acid groups provide from two to six sites for reaction for a wide variety of products, mostly polymers and plasticizers. 

A number of patents describe accelerators that will reduce the time required for stabilization (24,27,28). The accelerators are often inherent to the polymer or precursor but may be added to the gas phase during stabilization. For example, it is common to have an acid group present as comonomer such as itaconic acid [97-65-4] or methacrylic acid [79-41-4]. The acid groups provide initiation sites for cyclization. Alternatively, the stabilization atmosphere composition can be modified to accelerate stabilization (29). 

Subtractive dye precursors (couplers) that could be immobilized in each of the silver containing layers were sought, so that dye formation in all layers could proceed simultaneously rather than successively. The first of these to be commercialized were in Agfacolor Neue and Ansco Color films, introduced soon after Kodachrome film. These reversal working films contained colorless couplers that were immobilized (ballasted) by the attachment of long paraffinic chains. The addition of sulfonic or carboxyUc acid groups provided the necessary hydrophilicity to make them dispersible as micelles in aqueous gelatin. 

Cyclization reactions effected by intramolecular attack of the heteroatom on a nitrile group provide a useful source of 2-amino heterocycles. Some illustrative examples are depicted in Scheme 16. 

As was the case for kinetic resolution of enantiomers, enzymes typically exhibit a high degree of selectivity toward enantiotopic reaction sites. Selective reactions of enaiitiotopic groups provide enantiomerically enriched products. Thus, the treatment of an achiral material containing two enantiotopic functional groups is a means of obtaining enantiomerically enriched material. Most successful examples reported to date have involved hydrolysis. Several examples are outlined in Scheme 2.11. 

Other functional groups provide sufficient stabilization of radicals to permit successful chain additions to alkenes. Acyl radicals are formed by abstraction of the formyl hydrogen from aldehydes. As indicated in Table 12.7, the resulting acyl radicals are... 

The absolute rate of dissociation of the radical anion of /i-nitrobenzyl chloride has been measured as 4 x 10 s . The w-nitro isomer does not undergo a corresponding reaction. This is because the meta nitro group provides no resonance stabilization of the benzylic radical. 

Polyurethane adhesives are formed by the reaction of various types of isoeyanates with polyols. The polar urethane group enables adhesion to various surfaees. Depending on the raw materials, glue lines with rubber-like elastic to brittle-hard behavior ean be aehieved. The presence of reactive terminal groups provides a ehemieally hardened adhesive. When polymerized to a high enough molecular weight, the adhesive ean be physically rather than chemically hardened, i.e. a hot melt. 

Ethylenevinylacetate (EVA) is the most used type (approximately 80%) it can be varied in viscosity (melt index) and content of acetate in broad ranges. It is semicrystalline. The vinyl acetate groups provide improved adherability towards many materials. The low heat stability, however, limits the areas of application. 

Just as the alkanes and alkenes had general formulas, the carbon derivatives all have general formulas. The hydrocarbon backbone provides a portion of the general formula, and the functional group provides the other part. In each case, the hydrocarbon derivative is represented by the formula R-, and the hydrocarbon backbone has its own specific formula. The term substituted hydrocarbon is another name for hydrocarbon derivative, because the functional group is substituted for one or more hydrogen atoms in the chemical reaction.
