Hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon methyl

The most widely used method of analysis for methyl chloride is gas chromatography. A capillary column medium that does a very good job in separating most chlorinated hydrocarbons is methyl siUcone or methyl (5% phenyl) siUcone. The detector of choice is a flame ionisation detector. Typical molar response factors for the chlorinated methanes are methyl chloride, 2.05 methylene chloride, 2.2 chloroform, 2.8 carbon tetrachloride, 3.1, where methane is defined as having a molar response factor of 2.00. Most two-carbon chlorinated hydrocarbons have a molar response factor of about 1.0 on the same basis. 

Oxygen was added as oxygenated hydrocarbon components methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), di-isopropyl ether (DIPE), ethanol, methanol, and tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA). The properties of oxygenates, as they relate to gasoline blending, are shown in Table 10-1.

In a search for allelopathic agents from common weeds, Amaranthus palmerl S. Wats (Palmer amaranth) and Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (Louisiana annual ragweed) have been analysed for their organic natural products. From A. palmerl phytol, chondrlllasterol, vanillin, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxynitrobenzene and 2,6-dimethoxy- benzoquinone were isolated. From the roots of Ambrosia artemisiifolia four polyacetylenes, a mixture of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, methyl caffeate, and a mixture of 8-sitosterol and stlgmasterol were obtained. 

Basically, the Rf value of a solute is determined by its distribution ratio which in turn is dependent on relative solubilities for partition systems or relative polarities for adsorption systems. For example, if adsorption TLC is used to separate a mixture of squalene (a hydrocarbon), methyl oleate, cholesterol and a-tocopherol (vitamin E), then squalene, being the least polar, will move furthest and the cholesterol, being the most polar, will remain close to the origin. Methyl oleate is less polar than a-tocopherol and will therefore be found between it and the squalene. The role of polarity is discussed more fully on p. 82.

Since hydrocarbon subunits (methyl, methylene and methine groups) are not polarized to a great extent, their nature can be defined by a polar substituent. The high acidity of the a-hydrogen atoms of carbonyl compounds, nitriles, sulfones, and nitroalkanes follows from polarity alternation, the carbon atoms being a donor next to the acceptor substituent. 

An even more advantageous condition exists in the case of the toluene range hydrocarbons when methyl ethyl ketone and water are added. A ternary azeotrope of methyl ethyl ketone-water-nonaromatic hydrocarbons distills below 176° F. Neither methyl ethyl ketone nor methyl ethyl ketone-water forms an azeotrope with toluene hence, toluene will not distill until a temperature of 231 ° F. is reached, unless excess water is present. Thus, it is relatively easy to produce pure toluene from petroleum fractions ... 

A hydrocarbon is negligibly soluble in water, but, equally well, water is insoluble in the hydrocarbon. Methyl alcohol is soluble in water in all proportions, but not in a hydrocarbon. A higher alcohol is only slightly soluble in water, but is freely soluble in hydrocarbons. Water and hydrocarbons, so far as their solubilities are concerned, are opposites what is soluble in one is insoluble in the other. Thus,...

The alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons with methyl alcohol over Nafion-H catalysts, including the mechanistic aspects, has been studied in detail. The degree of conversion of methyl alcohol was much dependent on the nucleophilic reactivity of the aromatic hydrocarbon. For example, the reactivity of isomeric xylenes was higher than that of toluene or benzene.

Shorthand notation for pheromone molecules for example, (Z)-7-dodecen-l-yl acetate is shortened to Z7-12 OAc where the Z denotes the double bond configuration (Z or E), 7 the double bond position, 12 the number of carbons in the chain, OAc indicates the functional group as an acetate ester. Aid = aldehyde, Co A = coenzyme A, D = deuterium, Epox = epoxide, He = hydrocarbon, me = methyl group, OH = alcohol. 

Central to investigations of the biosynthetic pathway and regulation of the contact pheromone of B. germanica was the observation that the major cuticular hydrocarbon in all life stages of this species is an isomeric mixture of 3,7-, 3,9-and 3,11-dimethylnonacosane (Jurenka el al., 1989). The presence of only the 3,11-isomer in the cuticular dimethyl ketone fraction and only in adult females prompted Jurenka et al. (1989) to suggest that production of the pheromone might result from the female-specific oxidation of its hydrocarbon analog. This scheme follows the well-established conversion of hydrocarbons to methyl ketone and epoxide pheromones in the housefly (Blomquist et al., 1984 Ahmad et al., 1987).
