In addition to inorganic radicals, which profoundly modify the properties of a paraflSn hydrocarbon residue, there is a whole series of organic groupings which are distinguished by exceptional reactivity, for example, the ethylene and acetylene groupings, and the phenyl and naphthyl radicals. Thus the characterisation of unsaturated hydrocarbons and their derivatives, e.g., the aromatic compounds, becomes possible. 

A second major use for chlorine derives from its reactivity with organic materials, in particular with hydrocarbons. Two chlorinated hydrocarbons, ethylene dichloride (lUPAC name 1,2-dichloroethane) and vinyl chloride (lUPAC... 

Such xenobiotics as aliphatic hydrocarbons and derivatives, chlorinated ahphatic compounds (methyl, ethyl, methylene, and ethylene chlorides), aromatic hydrocarbons and derivatives (benzene, toluene, phthalate, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and phenol), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated aromatic compounds (chlorophenols, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins and relatives, DDT and relatives), AZO dyes, compounds with nitrogroups (explosive-contaminated waste and herbicides), and organophosphate wastes can be treated effectively by aerobic microorganisms. 

Although we have included acetic acid manufacture under ethylene derivatives, as you can see it is made from three of the seven basic organics ethylene, C4 hydrocarbons, and methane, with the most important method being from methane. Pure 100% acetic acid is sometimes called glacial acetic because when cold it will solidity into layered crystals similar in appearance to a glacier. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent, vinegar odor and sharp acid taste, bp 118°C, and mp 17°C. 

As noted earlier, more than one compound may have the same molecular formula (isomers), but a structural formula is unique to one compound. In addition, there are many chemicals which possess more than one chemical name, for the same reason mentioned above. The most common organic chemicals are those that have the shortest carbon chains. This fact is also true of their derivatives. The inclusion of a double bond in the structural formula has a profound effect on the properties of a compound. Table 2 illustrates those differences through the properties of alkenes. The presence of a double bond (and, indeed, a triple bond) between two carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon increases the chemical activity of the compound tremendously over its corresponding saturated hydrocarbon. The smaller the molecule (that is, the shorter the chain), the more pronounced this activity is. A case in point is the unsaturated hydrocarbon ethylene. Disregarding...

Fermentation-derived organic acids and their esters are potentially important chemical feedstocks for polymers and specialty polymers, but most significantly as alternative solvents for industrial and consumer applications. For example, lactate esters are derived from renewable carbohydrate raw materials such as cornstarch. They exhibit much lower toxicity compared with halogenated hydrocarbons and ethylene glycol ethers and are environmentally benign. Some studies suggested that lactate ester solvents have the potential of replacing petroleum-based solvents... 

As primary alcohols must contain the group (—CH2—OH), it is plain that the simplest primary alcohol of the ethylene hydrocarbons must be derived from the first hydrocarbon of this series which contains a methyl group. This will be the three carbon member, viz., propene, CH2 = CH—CH3. As ethene, CH2 = CH2, contains no such methyl group it can not yield a primary alcohol. 

Studies of chain reactions of hydrobromination [119-121] and hali-dization [122, 123] of ethylene and chlorination of various saturated hydrocarbons and their derivatives [124-128] confirmed the existence of the low-temperature limit of the rate constant. The pattern of chain growth under hydrobromination of ethylene after y-irradiation-induced HBr decomposition is as follows ... 

It is apparent from the data in Table 13.1 that most organic chemical commodities are extracted from hydrocarbon mixtures, are derived from hydrocarbons, or are the basic raw materials for the manufacture of other products. As the ranking decreases, many of the high-volume chemicals are used as feedstocks for lower ranked organic chemicals. Ethylene and propylene are the top two organic chemicals. They are used as feedstocks for many of the... 

Of course, acetylenic hydrocarbons are also easily hydrogenated on NiC. Interestingly, the yield of the ethylenic derivatives formed by semihydrogenation in the reaction medium reached 78-98% before the start of their own hydrogenation.
