Hydrochloric acid constant

Acid hydrolyses are usually carried out by refluxing in 6 N aqueous hydrochloric acid (constant boiling) or 5 to 10% solutions of HC1 in methanol (to promote solubility) for 4 to 30 hr, depending on the lipid in question. Most glycerophosphatides are hydrolyzed by acid to fatty acids, glycerophosphate, and the free base, just as with alkali. However, inositol phosphatides initially yield inositol phosphate and diglycerides on acid hydrolysis. Hydrochloric acid is easily removed by vacuum, which makes chromatographic examination of the hydrolysis products easier. 

Pure pyridine may be prepared from technical coal-tar pyridine in the following manner. The technical pyridine is first dried over solid sodium hydroxide, distilled through an efficient fractionating column, and the fraction, b.p. 114 116° collected. Four hundred ml. of the redistilled p)rridine are added to a reagent prepared by dissolving 340 g. of anhydrous zinc chloride in a mixture of 210 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 1 litre of absolute ethyl alcohol. A crystalline precipitate of an addition compound (probable composition 2C5H5N,ZnCl2,HCl ) separates and some heat is evolved. When cold, this is collected by suction filtration and washed with a little absolute ethyl alcohol. The yield is about 680 g. It is recrystaUised from absolute ethyl alcohol to a constant m.p. (151-8°). The base is liberated by the addition of excess of concentrated... 

Mix 40 g. (51 ml.) of isopropyl alcohol with 460 g. (310 ml.) of constant boiling point hydrobromic acid in a 500 ml. distilling flask, attach a double surface (or long Liebig) condenser and distil slowly (1-2 drops per second) until about half of the liquid has passed over. Separate the lower alkyl bromide layer (70 g.), and redistil the aqueous layer when a further 7 g. of the crude bromide will be obtained (1). Shake the crude bromide in a separatory funnel successively with an equal volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid (2), water, 5 per cent, sodium bicarbonate solution, and water, and dry with anhydrous calcium chloride. Distil from a 100 ml. flask the isopropyl bromide passes over constantly at 59°. The yield is 66 g. 

The apparatus required is similar to that described for Diphenylmelhane (Section IV,4). Place a mixture of 200 g. (230 ml.) of dry benzene and 40 g. (26 ml.) of dry chloroform (1) in the flask, and add 35 g. of anhydrous aluminium chloride in portions of about 6 g. at intervals of 5 minutes with constant shaking. The reaction sets in upon the addition of the aluminium chloride and the liquid boils with the evolution of hydrogen chloride. Complete the reaction by refluxing for 30 minutes on a water bath. When cold, pour the contents of the flask very cautiously on to 250 g. of crushed ice and 10 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Separate the upper benzene layer, dry it with anhydrous calcium chloride or magnesium sulphate, and remove the benzene in a 100 ml. Claisen flask (see Fig. II, 13, 4) at atmospheric pressure. Distil the remaining oil under reduced pressure use the apparatus shown in Fig. 11,19, 1, and collect the fraction b.p. 190-215°/10 mm. separately. This is crude triphenylmethane and solidifies on cooling. Recrystallise it from about four times its weight of ethyl alcohol (2) the triphenylmethane separates in needles and melts at 92°. The yield is 30 g. 

Place 84 g. of iron filings and 340 ml. of water in a 1 - 5 or 2-litre bolt-head flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer. Heat the mixture to boiling, stir mechanically, and add the sodium m-nitrobenzenesulphonate in small portions during 1 hour. After each addition the mixture foams extensively a wet cloth should be applied to the neck of the flask if the mixture tends to froth over the sides. Replace from time to time the water which has evaporated so that the volume is approximately constant. When all the sodium salt has been introduced, boU the mixture for 20 minutes. Place a small drop of the suspension upon filter paper and observe the colour of the spot it should be a pale brown but not deep brown or deep yellow. If it is not appreciably coloured, add anhydrous sodium carbonate cautiously, stirring the mixture, until red litmus paper is turned blue and a test drop upon filter paper is not blackened by sodium sulphide solution. Filter at the pump and wash well with hot water. Concentrate the filtrate to about 200 ml., acidify with concentrated hydrochloric acid to Congo red, and allow to cool. Filter off the metanilic acid and dry upon filter paper. A further small quantity may be obtained by concentrating the mother liquid. The yield is 55 g. 

In a 250 ml. flask place 75 ml, of water, 24 g. (20 ml.) of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 14g. (13-7 ml.) of aniline. Shake vigorously (1) and then add 50 g. of crushed ice. Rim in a solution of 5-2 g. of so um nitrite in 12 ml. of water, with constant shaking, during a period of 5-10 minutes. Allow to stand with frequent shaking (1) for 15 minutes, and add a solution of 21 0 g. of crystallised sodium acetate in 40 ml. of water during 5 minutes. A yellow precipitate of diazoaminobenzene begins to form immediately allow to stand with frequent shaking for 45 minutes and do not allow the temperature to rise above 20° (add ice. 

Treat 1 g. (1 ml.) of the amine with 4 mols of 10 per cent, sodium or potassium hydroxide solution (say, 20 ml,), and add 1 -5 mols (or 3 g. if the molecular weight is unknown) of benzenesulphonyl or p-toluenesulphonyl chloride in small portions with constant shaking. To remove the excess of acid chloride, either shake vigorously or warm gently. Acidify with dilute hydrochloric acid and filter off the sulphonamide. Recrystallise it from alcohol or dilute alcohol. 

Meihylamine hydrochloride method. Place 100 g. of 24 per cent, methyl-amine solution (6) in a tared 500 ml. flask and add concentrated hydrochloric acid (about 78 ml.) until the solution is acid to methyl red. Add water to bring the total weight to 250 g., then introduce lSO g. of urea, and boil the solution gently under reflux for two and three-quarter hours, and then vigorously for 15 minutes. Cool the solution to room temperature, dissolve 55 g. of 95 per cent, sodium nitrite in it, and cool to 0°. Prepare a mixture of 300 g. of crushed ice and 50 g. of concentrated sulphuric acid in a 1500 ml. beaker surrounded by a bath of ice and salt, and add the cold methylurea - nitrite solution slowly and with mechanical stirring and at such a rate (about 1 hour) that the temperature does not rise above 0°. It is recommended that the stem of the funnel containii the methylurea - nitrite solution dip below the surface of the acid solution. The nitrosomethylurea rises to the surface as a crystalline foamy precipitate. Filter at once at the pump, and drain well. Stir the crystals into a paste with about 50 ml. of cold water, suck as dry as possible, and dry in a vacuum desiccator to constant weight. The yield is 55 g. (5). 

In a 1 litre round-bottomed flask, equipped with an air condenser, place a mixture of 44 g. of o-chlorobenzoic acid (Section IV,157) (1), 156 g. (153 ml.) of redistilled aniline, 41 g. of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 1 g. of cupric oxide. Reflux the mixture in an oil bath for 2 hours. Allow to cool. Remove the excess of aniline by steam distillation and add 20 g. of decolourising carbon to the brown residual solution. Boil the mixture for 15 minutes, and filter at the pump. Add the filtrate with stirring to a mixture of 30 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 60 ml. of water, and allow to cool. Filter off the precipitated acid with suction, and dry to constant weight upon filter paper in the air. The yield of iV-phenylanthranilic acid, m.p. 181-182° (capillary tube placed in preheated bath at 170°), is 50 g. This acid is pure enough for most purposes. It may be recrystaUised as follows dissolve 5 g. of the acid in either 25 ml. of alcohol or in 10 ml. of acetic acid, and add 5 ml. of hot water m.p. 182-183°. 

For the HCI salt Do exactly as above except use 6N Hydrochloric Acid. 6N HCI may be produced by diluting 60.4mL of "Muriatic Acid" to lOOmL with distilled water. Evaporate the bubbler solution to dryness then add 15ml of water, lOmL 10% NaOH soln. and heat gently to a boil with constant motion until dense white fumes appear. This will remove the Ammonium Chloride. Remove from heat while stirring as it cools down. Pulverize the dry residue, then reflux with absolute Ethanol for several minutes. Filter the refluxed soln. on a heated Buchner or Hirsch funnel, then distill the alcohol off the filtrate until crystals just begin to form. Allow the soln. to cool naturally to room temperature, then cool further in an ice bath. Filter the solution on a chilled Buchner funnel with suction. The yield of Meth iamine Hydrochloride should be around 55% of the theoretical. 

Cuprous chloride, acid (for gas analysis, absorption of CO) cover the bottom of a 2-liter bottle with a layer of copper oxide % inch deep, and place a bundle of copper wire an inch thick in the bottle so that it extends from the top to the bottom. Fill the bottle with HCl (sp. gr. 1.10). The bottle is shaken occasionally, and when the solution is colorless or nearly so, it is poured into half-liter bottles containing copper wire. The large bottle may be filled with hydrochloric acid, and by adding the oxide or wire when either is exhausted, a constant supply of the reagent is available.

A double end point, acid—base titration can be used to determine both sodium hydrosulfide and sodium sulfide content. Standardized hydrochloric acid is the titrant thymolphthalein and bromophenol blue are the indicators. Other bases having ionization constants in the ranges of the indicators used interfere with the analysis. Sodium thiosulfate and sodium thiocarbonate interfere quantitatively with the accuracy of the results. Detailed procedures to analyze sodium sulfide, sodium hydro sulfide, and sodium tetrasulfide are available (1). 

Hibemia-Chemie has described a vapor-phase process that passes fresh and recycled 85 wt % phosphoric acid over a catalyst of hydrochloric acid-leached bentonite impregnated with phosphoric acid. Catalyst activity was claimed to remain constant over a period of one year at the following conditions (126) ... 

B. Palladium on carhon catalyst (5% Pd). A suspension of 93 g. of nitric acid-washed Darco G-60 (Note 10) in 1.21. of water contained in a 4-1. beaker (Notes 3 and 4) is heated to 80°. To this is added a solution of 8.2 g. (0.046 mole) of palladium chloride in 20 ml. (0.24 mole) of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 50 ml. of water (Note 2). Eight milliliters (0.1 mole) of 37% formaldehyde solution is added. The suspension is made slightly alkaline to litmus with 30% sodium hydroxide solution, constant stirring being maintained. The suspension is stirred 5 minutes longer. The catalyst is collected on a filter and washed ten times with 250-ml. portions of water. After removal of as much water as possible by filtration, the filter cake is dried (Note 11), first in air at room temperature, and then over potassium hydroxide in a desiccator. The dry catalyst (93-98 g.) is stored in a tightly closed bottle. 

Bromine (128 g., 0.80 mole) is added dropwise to the well-stirred mixture over a period of 40 minutes (Note 4). After all the bromine has been added, the molten mixture is stirred at 80-85° on a steam bath for 1 hour, or until it solidifies if that happens first (Note 5). The complex is added in portions to a well-stirred mixture of 1.3 1. of cracked ice and 100 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid in a 2-1. beaker (Note 6). Part of the cold aqueous layer is added to the reaction flask to decompose whatever part of the reaction mixture remains there, and the resulting mixture is added to the beaker. The dark oil that settles out is extracted from the mixture with four 150-ml. portions of ether. The extracts are combined, washed consecutively with 100 ml. of water and 100 ml. of 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and transferred to a short-necked distillation flask. The ether is removed by distillation at atmospheric pressure, and crude 3-bromo-acetophenone is stripped from a few grams of heavy dark residue by distillation at reduced pressure. The colorless distillate is carefully fractionated in a column 20 cm. long and 1.5 cm. in diameter that is filled with Carborundum or Heli-Pak filling. 4 hc combined middle fractions of constant refractive index are taken as 3-l)romoaccto])lu iu)nc weight, 94 -100 g.

Gelatinous Slime a) Destroy iron bacteria with a solution of hydrochloric acid, then constant chlorination, followed by activated carbon filtration or calcite filter. 

By a modified Bischler-Napieralsky reaction, 6 -nitrophenylaceto-jS-3 4-methylenedioxyphenylethylamide, resulting from the condensation of -3 4-methylenedioxyphenylethylamine with 2-nitrophenylacetyl chloride, was converted into 6 nitro-l-benzyl-6 7-methylenedioxy-3 4-dihydroisoquinoline. The methiodide of the latter was reduced with zinc and hydrochloric acid to 6 -amino-l-benzyl-2-methyl-6 7-methylenedioxy-1 2 3 4-tetrahydro/soquinoline dihydrochloride, which by the Pschorr ring-closure reaction, produced dZ-roemerine (IV, p. 317), m.p. 85-7°. By treatment in succession with d- and Z-tartaric acids, the dZ-base was resolved into Z- and tZ-forms. Synthetic Z-roemerine is dimorphic, m.p. 85-7° and 102°, and has [aju — 79-9° (EtOH), these constants being in good agreement with those of the natural base. 

The ethereal solution of crude quinidine and cinchonidine, obtained as described under cinchonine, is shaken with dilute hydrochloric acid, the excess acid neutralised with ammonia and sodium potassium tartrate added. The base is recovered from the precipitated tartrate by dissolving the latter in dilute acid and pouring the filtered solution in a thin stream, slowly and with constant stirring, into excess of ammonia solution. The crude alkaloid is converted into the neutral sulphate, and this recrystallised...
