HC1, oxidation

The oxidizing properties of sulfuric acid depend on its concentration and temperature. In dilute solutions at room temperature, H2S04 behaves like HC1, oxidizing metals that stand above hydrogen in the activity series (Table 4.3, page 132) ... 

These adducts are extremely unstable with respect to hydrolysis and form products listed in Table 21. These results are in agreement with other reports for HC1 oxidative additions153. Here Arcs (Table 20) is the change in the thiocarbonyl stretching frequency... 

The ketodiester 31 was made from 32 by bromination and elimination. Reaction with 30 gave first the heterocycle 40 that was dehydrated and aromatised in dry HC1. Oxidation of this methoxy-compound with Ce(IV) was quite easy and methoxatin was synthesised. 

In oxychlorination, ethylene reacts with dry HC1 and either air or pure oxygen to produce EDC and water. Various commercial oxychlorination processes differ from one another to some extent because they were developed independently by several different vinyl chloride producers (78,83), but in each case the reaction is carried out in the vapor phase in either a fixed- or fluidized-bed reactor containing a modified Deacon catalyst. Unlike the Deacon process for chlorine production, oxychlorination of ethylene occurs readily at temperatures well below those required for HC1 oxidation. 

Alternatives to oxychlorination have also been proposed as part of a balanced VCM plant. In the past, many vinyl chloride manufacturers used a balanced ethylene—acetylene process for a brief period prior to the commercialization of oxychlorination technology. Addition of HC1 to acetylene was used instead of ethylene oxychlorination to consume the HC1 made in EDC pyrolysis. Since the 1950s, the relative costs of ethylene and acetylene have made this route economically unattractive. Another alternative is HC1 oxidation to chlorine, which can subsequendy be used in direct chlorination (131). The Shell-Deacon (132), Kel-Chlor (133), and MT-Chlor (134) processes, as well as a process recendy developed at the University of Southern California (135) are among the available commercial HC1 oxidation technologies. Each has had very limited industrial application, perhaps because the equilibrium reaction is incomplete and the mixture of HC1, CL, CL, and water presents very challenging separation, purification, and handling requirements. HC1 oxidation does not compare favorably with oxychlorination because it also requires twice the direct chlorination capacity for a balanced vinyl chloride plant. Consequendy, it is doubtful that it will ever displace oxychlorination in the production of vinyl chloride by the balanced ethylene process.

The chemistry of alkynes is dominated by electrophilic addition reactions, similar to those of alkenes. Alkynes react with HBr and HC1 to yield vinylic halides and with Br2 and Cl2 to yield 1,2-dihalides (vicinal dihalides). Alkynes can be hydrated by reaction with aqueous sulfuric acid in the presence of mercury(ll) catalyst. The reaction leads to an intermediate enol that immediately isomerizes to yield a ketone tautomer. Since the addition reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, a methyl ketone is produced from a terminal alkyne. Alternatively, hydroboration/oxidation of a terminal alkyne yields an aldehyde. 

The one general exception to the rule that ethers don t typically undergo Sn2 reactions occurs with epoxides, the three-membered cyclic ethers that we saw in Section 7.8. Epoxides, because of the angle strain in the three-membered ring, are much more reactive than other ethers. They react with aqueous acid to give 1,2-diols, as we saw in Section 7.8, and they react readily with many other nucleophiles as well. Propene oxide, for instance, reacts with HC1 to give l-chloro-2-propanol by Snj2 backside attack on the less hindered primary carbon atom. We ll look at the process in more detail in Section 18.6. 

Any metal with a positive standard oxidation voltage, can be oxidized by the H+ ions present in a 1M solution of a strong add. All the transition metals in the left column ofTable 20.3 (p. 546) react spontaneously with dilute solutions of such strong adds as HC1, HBr, and H2S04. The products are hydrogen gas and a cation of the transition metal. A typical reaction is that of nickel ... 

Although gold is not oxidized by nitric acid, it can be brought into solution in aqua regia, a 3 1 mixture by volume of 12 M HC1 and 16 M HN03 ... 

To avoid explosion, the compounds can be decomposed via hydrolysis in liquid solution. Ultra-fine particles are obtained in water and water-ammonia media. Hydrolysis in HC1 and HN03 solutions leads to the precipitation of an agglomerated powder of both tantalum and niobium oxides. Agglomerates obtained are up to 12 pm in diameter, while the estimated diameter of the smallest ciystalline particles varies in the range of 0.01-0.5 pm [512].

An ice-cold mixture of the 2-oxide 11 a (0.170 g, 1 mmol) and sat. HC1 in Et20 (6 mL) was stirred for ca. 5 h and then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was made alkaline with 2% aq Na2COa... 

To a solution of sodium 3-methylbut-l-oxide [prepared from Na (0.04 g) and 3-methylbutan-l-ol (1.7 rnL) at 100 C], 3-phenoxyphthalonilrile (3, R = PhO 0.44 g, 2 mmol) was added. The mixture was refluxed for 2 h and then cooled. The precipitate formed was filtered, washed with 3-methylbutan-l-ol and ElOH until the filtrate was colorless, and treated on the filter with coned HC1. The hydrochloride obtained was dissolved in acetone and the solution was treated with dil NH4OH yield 0.16 g (36%). 

A way to anh-configurated a-amino-/ -hydroxycarboxylic acids is opened by the aldol addition of oxazolidine amides 7a and 7b. The method1061 is illustrated by a synthesis of (2R,3R)-p-hydroxyleucine (9) which is available from the major diastereomeric adduct 8 (d.r. 92 8) upon successive treatment with 1 N HC1 (30 min). 5 N HCl (100 C, 12 h), and propylene oxide (reflux in ethanol, 30 min). 

Evaporate the sample to dryness with clean, dry nitrogen. Add 0.5 ml of 2N HC1 in isopropyl alcohol. Heat at 100° for 1 hour. If tryptophan and/or cystine are suspected of being present, add 1 ml of ethyl mercaptan to prevent oxidation. Evaporate the reaction... 

Telescope the Process by Combining Stages. This has been done successfully in the conversion of propylene to acrylonitrile by direct ammoxidation rather than oxidation to acrolein followed by reaction with ammonia in a separate stage, as was described in the earlier patent literature. The oxychlorination of ethylene and HC1 directly to vinyl chloride monomer is another good example of the telescoping of stages to yield an economic process. 

Redox (reduction-oxidation) titrimetry is used primarily for nitrate detns. Five systems are in current use ferrous sulfate—dichromate, io dome trie, periodic acid oxidation (NaOH titrant), K permanganate, and titanous chloride-ferric ammonium sulfate. The ferrous sulfate— dichromate system is used for MNT DNT detns (Vol 2, C162-Lff Vol 6, F17-Rff Ref 17). In the iodometric procedure, the sample (ie, NG) is treated in a C02 atm with a satd soln of Mn chloride in coned HC1, the vol reaction products are bubbled thru a K iodide soln, and the liberated iodine is titrated with standard thiosulfate soln (Refs 1 17). The periodic...

Hurley and Testa (Ref 17) exposed nitrobenzene in isopropyl alcohol, degassed and in air, to a mercury lamp at 3660A Products in the absence of air were acetone and phenyl-hydroxylamine (PHA). In air PHA was oxidized to nitro sob enzene which couples with PHA to form azoxybenzene. They hypothesized that the triplet molecule abstracted H-atoms from the solvent no effect was noted with ben zene as solvent. They also worked with nitrobenzene in isopropyl alcohol-water mixts containing HC1 with a mercury lamp at 3660A (Ref 18), and found that the quantum yields depended on pH and isopropyl alcohol content, but were independent of oxygen with acid present. Their conclusion was that the quantum yield consisted of two parts, H abstraction by the triplet, and protonation of the triplet...
