Hydrochloric acid—magnesium chloride

The manufacture of the cyclohexyl analog is as follows. Phenyl magnesium bromide was prepared from 48.5 g (0.308 mol) of bromobenzene, 7 g (0,29 mol) of magnesium, and 125 ml of dry ether. To it was added at 5°C over a period of A hour 40 g (0.18 mol) of cyclohexyl (3-(N-piperidyl)-ethyl ketone (BP 115° to 117°C/1 mm) in 125 ml of dry ether. The mixture was allowed slowly to come to room temperature, refluxed for one hour, and then poured into ice containing 80 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Ammonium chloride (100 g) and 200 ml of concentrated ammonium hydroxide were added and the organic layer was separated. After drying and removing the solvent, the residue was distilled under reduced pressure. The base distilled at 158° to 170°C (1 mm) and solidified. Upon recrystallization from methanol it melted at 112° to 113°C.

Potassium chloride reacts violently with bromine trifluoride and with a mixture of sulfuric acid and potassium permanganate. The presence of hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride, and magnesium chloride decreases the solubility of potassium chloride in water. Aqueous solutions of potassium chloride form precipitates with lead and silver salts. 

A student places a strip of pure magnesium metal into a test tube containing a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid (hydrogen chloride dissolved in water). As the magnesium disappears, bubbles of a colorless gas form and the test tube becomes hot to the touch. If a lit match is placed near the top of the test tube, the gas that has been generated burns. 

Dissolve 57 g. of dry malonic acid in 92 5 ml. of dry P3rridine contained in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask, cool the solution in ice, and add 57 g. (70 ml.) of freshly distilled n-heptaldehyde (oenanthol) with stirring or vigorous shaking. After a part of the aldehyde has been added, the mixture rapidly seta to a mass of crystals. Insert a cotton wool (or calcium chloride) tube into the mouth of the flask and allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for 60 hours with frequent shaking. Finally, warm the mixture on a water bath until the evolution of carbon dioxide ceases (about 8 hours) and then pour into an equal volume of water. Separate the oily layer and shake it with 150 ml. of 25 per cent hydrochloric acid to remove pyridine. Dissolve the product in benzene, wash with water, dry with anhydrous magnesium sulphate, and distil under reduced pressure. Collect the ap-nonenoic acid at 130-13272 mm. The yield is 62 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. 

Chlorobenzene. Prepare a solution of phenyldiazonium chloride from 31 g. (30 -5 ml.) of aniUne, 85 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid, 85 ml, of water, and a solution of 24 g. of sodium nitrite in 50 ml. of water (for experimental details, see Section IV,60). Prepare cuprous chloride from 105 g. of crystallised copper sulphate (Section 11,50,1), and dissolve it in 170 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Add the cold phenyl diazonium chloride solution with shaking or stirring to the cold cuprous chloride solution allow the mixture to warm up to room temperature. Follow the experimental details given above for p-chlorotoluene. Wash the chlorobenzene separated from the steam distillate with 40 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution (to remove phenol), then with water, dry with anhydrous calcium chloride or magnesium sulphate, and distil. Collect the chlorobenzene (a colourless liquid) at 131-133° (mainly 133°), The yield is 29 g. 

Method 2. Into a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask place 120 ml. of dry A.R. benzene, and 35 g. (29 ml.) of redistilled benzoyl chloride. Weigh out 30 g. of finely-powdered, anhydrous aluminium chloride into a dry corked test-tube, and add the solid, with frequent shaking, during 10 minutes to the contents of the flask. Fit a reflux condenser to the flask, and heat on a water bath for 3 hours or until hydrogen chloride is no longer evolved. Pour the contents of the flask wliile still warm into a mixture of 200 g. of crushed ice and 100 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Separate the upper benzene layer (filter first, if necessary), wash it with 50 ml. of 5 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution, then with water, and dry with anhydrous magnesium sulphate. Isolate the benzophenone as in Method 1. The yield is 30 g. 

This product is sufficiently pure for the preparation of phenylacetic acid and its ethyl ester, but it contains some benzyl tso-cyanide and usually develops an appreciable colour on standing. The following procedure removes the iso-cyanide and gives a stable water-white compound. Shake the once-distilled benzyl cyanide vigorously for 5 minutes with an equal volume of warm (60°) 60 per cent, sulphuric acid (prepared by adding 55 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid to 100 ml. of water). Separate the benzyl cyanide, wash it with an equal volume of sa+urated sodium bicarbonate solution and then with an equal volume of half-saturated sodium chloride solution- Dry with anhydrous magnesium sulphate and distil under reduced pressure. The loss in washing is very small (compare n-Butyl Cyanide, Section 111,113, in which concentrated hydrochloric acid is employed).
