Hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon Carboxylation

The decarboxylation of carboxylic acid in the presence of a nucleophile is a classical reaction known as the Hunsdiecker reaction. Such reactions can be carried out sometimes in aqueous conditions. Man-ganese(II) acetate catalyzed the reaction of a, 3-unsaturated aromatic carboxylic acids with NBS (1 and 2 equiv) in MeCN/water to afford haloalkenes and a-(dibromomethyl)benzenemethanols, respectively (Eq. 9.15).32 Decarboxylation of free carboxylic acids catalyzed by Pd/C under hydrothermal water (250° C/4 MPa) gave the corresponding hydrocarbons (Eq. 9.16).33 Under the hydrothermal conditions of deuterium oxide, decarbonylative deuteration was observed to give fully deuterated hydrocarbons from carboxylic acids or aldehydes. 

The formation enthalpies of a few acids and parent hydrocarbons are given in Table 1.6. The oxidation of the methyl group of hydrocarbon to carboxyl group is a highly exothermic reaction. The enthalpy of the reaction... 

Despite the advances made in high-performance liquid chromatography in recent years, there are still occasionally applications in which conventional column chromatography is employed. These methods lack the sensitivity, resolution and automation of HPLC. They include the determination of urea herbicides in soil, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, carbohydrates, chloroaliphatic compounds and humic and fulvic acids in non-saline sediments. The technique has also been applied in sludge analysis, e.g. aliphatic hydrocarbons and carboxylic acids. 

As regards organic contaminants, leachates from semi-coke contain compounds such as phenols, for example, cresols, resorcinols, and xylenols, which occur at mg/L concentrations. Indeed, Kahru et al. (2002) found total phenols at concentrations up to 380 mg/L in semi-coke dump leachates. Phenols also volatilize from such leachates, depending on temperature and pH (Kundel Liblik 2000). Atmospheric phenol concentrations of 4-50 xg/m3 have been observed in the proximity of leachate ponds (Koel 1999). Generally, aliphatic hydrocarbons, carboxylic acids, and organo-nitro and organo-sulpho compounds do not occur at elevated concentrations in leachates from Estonian semi-coke (Koel 1999).

Some natural polymers such as lignin and fumic acid are of environmental concern. They are tightly adsorbed to Ti02 and thus suppress the degradation of other pollutants.22) Their basic structure is phenolic compounds linked with each other by a hydrocarbon chain. Carboxylated or/and hydroxylated pnenolic compounds were identified in the photocatalytic degradation. 

Based on their chemical structure, the organic chemicals were divided into a number of categories alkanes, alkenes, amines, aromatic hydrocarbons, benzenes, carboxylic acids, halides, phenols, and sulfonic acid. Linear regression analysis has been applied using the method of least-squares fit. Each correlation required at least three datapoints, and the parameters chosen were important to ensure comparable experimental conditions. Most vital parameters in normalizing oxidation rate constants for QSAR analysis are the overall liquid volume used in the treatment system, the source of UV light, reactor type, specific data on substrate concentration, temperature, and pH of the solution during the experiment. 

Other organic compounds that have been determined in sewage effluents include the following (see Table 15.13) hydrocarbons, alcohols, carboxylic acids, esters, chlorobenzenes, nitrosamines, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, nitriloacetic acid, organophosphorus compounds, linear alkyl benzene sulphonates, methyl mercaptan, polychlorobiphenyls and chlorinated insecticides. 

Gas chromatography has been applied to the determination of a wide range of organic compounds in trade effluents including the following types of compounds which are reviewed in Table 15.15 aromatic hydrocarbons, carboxylic acids aldehydes, non ionic surfactants (alkyl ethoxylated type) phenols monosaccharides chlorinated aliphatics and haloforms polychlorobiphenyls chlorlignosulphonates aliphatic and aromatic amines benzidine chloroanilines chloronitroanilines nitrocompounds nitrosamines dimethylformamide diethanolamine nitriloacetic acid pyridine pyridazinones substituted pyrrolidones alkyl hydantoins alkyl sulphides dialkyl suphides dithiocaibamate insecticides triazine herbicides and miscellaneous organic compounds. 

Another interesting use of Fenton s reagent is the conversion of hydrocarbons to carboxylic acids in the presence of carbon monoxide77 ... 

Solvent Resistance. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is virtually unaffected by hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, carboxylic acid esters, greases, and animal or vegetable oils. Resistance to oiganic solvents increases with increasing hydrolysis. This resistance has promoted the use of PVA in the manufacture of gloves for use when handling oiganic solvents (73). 

Biosensors differ from bioassays mainly by the fact that in bioassays the transducer is not an integral part of the analytical system and biosensors can extract quantitative analytical information of single compounds in complex mixtures. One example is the determination of concentrations of dioxin-like compounds in the blood and environmental samples using the Calux assay, where within a complex matrix its levels are determined with great accuracy (see, e.g., Murk et al. 1997). Additionally, compounds that are difficult to detect (e.g., surfactants, chlorinated hydrocarbons, sulfophenyl carboxylates, dioxins, pesticide metabolites) can more easily be evaluated using biosensors. 

The oxidation of cyclohexane is accompanied by the oxidative degradation of the products. In other words, the products themselves undergo metal-initiated radical chain oxidation. For this reason oxidation is normally carried out at low conversions when the selectivity to the desired products is high. The catalysts used are a mixture of hydrocarbon soluble carboxylate salts of Co2+ and Mn2+ or Cr3+. Due to the better solubility properties, salts of long-chain carboxylic acids such as 2-ethyl hexanoic or naphthenic acids are favored. As already mentioned, the primary role of the metal ions is to act as catalysts for the initiation steps. In other words, the metal ions undergo redox reactions with 8.9 to give 8.10 and 8.11. 

Starch complexes with aromas and flavoring agents are usually synthetic in origin. In nature, starch sometimes includes some aroma- and flavor-genic components that generate flavor and aroma on processing (see, for instance, ref. 678). Such agents include mainly aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic esters however, hydrocarbons, alcohols, carboxylic acids, and haloalkanes have also been used. 

Citrus seed oil, another byproduct in citrus industry, is required to have high stability for cooking purposes. Citrus seed oil is subject to oxidative changes because of the presence of a high percentage of unsaturated fatty acids. The oil is readily oxidized in the presence of air, generating hydroperoxides, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, hydrocarbons, and carboxylic acids as the primary, secondary, and tertiary oxidized products, respectively.

Infrared Spectroscopy (ir). Infrared curves are used to identify the chemical functionality of waxes. Petroleum waxes with only hydrocarbon functionality show slight differences based on crystaUinity, while vegetable and insect waxes contain hydrocarbons, carboxylic acids, alcohols, and esters. The it curves are typically used in combination with other analytical methods such as dsc or gc/gpc to characterize waxes.

They are often blended into compounds that are developed for injection molding applications. Where such an additive is absent, molded components tend to stick to mold surfaces. To prevent this, mold surfaces must be treated between every cycle, or they can be coated with a range of semipermanent mold release treatments. Inclusion of an internal release agent prevents mold surface build-up, surface charring, and simplifies production. Internal mold release agents may include hydrocarbons, alcohols, carboxylic acids, halogenated compounds, ketones, carboxylic acid esters, amides, metal salts, and silicone compounds.
