Hydrochloric acid residue

This aspect is interesting and should be stressed in further studies, as DIPHOTERINE solution reduces the oxidative stress involved. The differences in the levels of biological markers were most likely due to the improved washing properties of DIPHOTERINE solution which left less hydrochloric acid residue on the skin to cause injury. 

Silver chloride is reduced to the metal by zinc. One of the methods of recovering silver from silver residues depends on this. The residue is first treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid and then sulphuric acid and zinc added ... 

Add 23 g. of powdered (or flake ) sodium hydroxide to a solution of 15 ml. (18 g.) of nitrobenzene in 120 ml. of methanol contained in a 250 ml. short-necked bolt-head flask. Fix a reflux water-condenser to the flask and boil the solution on a water-bath for 3 hours, shaking the product vigorously at intervals to ensure thorough mixing. Then fit a bent delivery-tube to the flask, and reverse the condenser for distillation, as in Fig. 59, p. 100, or Fig. 23(D), p. 45). Place the flask in the boiling water-bath (since methanol will not readily distil when heated on a water-bath) and distil off as much methanol as possible. Then pour the residual product with stirring into about 250 ml. of cold water wash out the flask with water, and then acidify the mixture with hydrochloric acid. The crude azoxybenzene separates as a heavy oil, which when thoroughly stirred soon solidifies, particularly if the mixture is cooled in ice-water. 

Prepare a mixture of 30 ml, of aniline, 8 g. of o-chloro-benzoic acid, 8 g. of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 0 4 g. of copper oxide in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask fitted with an air-condenser, and then boil the mixture under reflux for 1 5 hours the mixture tends to foam during the earlier part of the heating owing to the evolution of carbon dioxide, and hence the large flask is used. When the heating has been completed, fit the flask with a steam-distillation head, and stcam-distil the crude product until all the excess of aniline has been removed. The residual solution now contains the potassium. V-phenylanthrani-late add ca. 2 g. of animal charcoal to this solution, boil for about 5 minutes, and filter hot. Add dilute hydrochloric acid (1 1 by volume) to the filtrate until no further precipitation occurs, and then cool in ice-water with stirring. Filter otT the. V-phcnylanthranilic acid at the pump, wash with water, drain and dry. Yield, 9-9 5 g. I he acid may be recrystallised from aqueous ethanol, or methylated spirit, with addition of charcoal if necessary, and is obtained as colourless crystals, m.p. 185-186°. 

To prepare a sample of the hydrochloride, add 0-5 ml. of the base to 10 ml, of dilute hydrochloric acid in an evaporating basin and evaporate to dryness, preferably in a vacuum desiccator. Recrystallise the dry residue from petroleum (b.p. 60-80°). The hydrochloride separates as white crystals, m.p. 90°. 

Whilst the solution is still hot, add dilute hydrochloric acid until the stirred solution is just acid to litmus, and then distil off as much ethanol as possible, using the water-bath. Now add more dilute hydrochloric acid to the residual hot solution until it is just acid to methyl-orange. The 5,5-dimethyl-cyclohexan-1,3-dione separates as an oil which solidifies on cooling. Filter the product at the pump, wash it with ice-cold water, and dry it in a desiccator. Yield of the pale cream-coloured crystals, 12 g. m.p. 136-145 (preliminary softening). 

Sulphur. Moisten the centre of a filter-paper with lead acetate solution. Then add about 10 ml. of dilute hydrochloric acid to the residue in the evaporating-basin, and at once cover the latter with the paper. If zinc sulphide is present in the residue, the hydrogen sulphide evolved will give a definite daA brown coloration with the lead acetate paper. The presence of hydrogen sulphide can often be confirmed by its odour. 

When the derivative is appreciably soluble in ether, the following alternative procedure may be employed. Dissolve the cold leaction mixture in about 60 ml. of ether, wash it with 20-30 ml. of 10 per cent, hydrochloric acid (to remove the excess of base), followed by 20 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution, separate the ether layer, and evaporate the solvent [CAUTION/]. Recrystallise the residue from dilute alcohol. 

If the original ester is a fat or oil and produces an odour of acrolein when heated, it may be a glyceride. Esters of ethylene glycol and of glycol with simple fatty acids are viscous and of high b.p. They are hydrolysed (method I) and the ethyl alcohol distilled ofl. The residue is diluted (a soap may be formed) and acidified with hydrochloric acid (Congo red paper). The acid is filtered or... 

Add 4 0 g. (4 0 ml.) of pure anihne dropwise to a cold solution of ethyl magnesium bromide (or iodide) prepared from 1 Og. of magnesium, 5 0 g. (3-5 ml.) of ethyl bromide (or the equivalent quantity of ethyl iodide), and 30 ml. of pure, sodium-dried ether. When the vigorous evolution of ethane has ceased, introduce 0 02 mol of the ester in 10 ml. of anhydrous ether, and warm the mixture on a water bath for 10 minutes cool. Add dilute hydrochloric acid to dissolve the magnesium compounds and excess of aniline. Separate the ethereal layer, dry it with anhydrous magnesium sulphate and evaporate the ether. Recrystallise the residual anihde, which is obtained in almost quantitative yield, from dilute alcohol or other suitable solvent. 

Fit a 1500 ml. bolt-head flask with a reflux condenser and a thermometer. Place a solution of 125 g. of chloral hydrate in 225 ml. of warm water (50-60°) in the flask, add successively 77 g. of precipitated calcium carbonate, 1 ml. of amyl alcohol (to decrease the amount of frothing), and a solution of 5 g. of commercial sodium cyanide in 12 ml. of water. An exothermic reaction occurs. Heat the warm reaction mixture with a small flame so that it reaches 75° in about 10 minutes and then remove the flame. The temperature will continue to rise to 80-85° during 5-10 minutes and then falls at this point heat the mixture to boiling and reflux for 20 minutes. Cool the mixture in ice to 0-5°, acidify with 107-5 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Extract the acid with five 50 ml. portions of ether. Dry the combined ethereal extracts with 10 g. of anhydrous sodium or magnesium sulphate, remove the ether on a water bath, and distil the residue under reduced pressure using a Claiseii flask with fractionating side arm. Collect the dichloroacetic acid at 105-107°/26 mm. The yield is 85 g. 

Vinylacetic acid. Place 134 g. (161 ml.) of allyl cyanide (3) and 200 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid in a 1-htre round-bottomed flask attached to a reflux condenser. Warm the mixture cautiously with a small flame and shake from time to time. After 7-10 minutes, a vigorous reaction sets in and the mixture refluxes remove the flame and cool the flask, if necessary, in cold water. Ammonium chloride crystallises out. When the reaction subsides, reflux the mixture for 15 minutes. Then add 200 ml. of water, cool and separate the upper layer of acid. Extract the aqueous layer with three 100 ml. portions of ether. Combine the acid and the ether extracts, and remove the ether under atmospheric pressure in a 250 ml. Claisen flask with fractionating side arm (compare Fig. II, 13, 4) continue the heating on a water bath until the temperature of the vapour reaches 70°. Allow the apparatus to cool and distil under diminished pressure (compare Fig. II, 20, 1) , collect the fraction (a) distilling up to 71°/14 mm. and (6) at 72-74°/14 mm. (chiefly at 72 5°/ 14 mm.). A dark residue (about 10 ml.) and some white sohd ( crotonio acid) remains in the flask. Fraction (6) weighs 100 g. and is analytically pure vinylacetic acid. Fraction (a) weighs about 50 g. and separates into two layers remove the water layer, dry with anhydrous sodium sulphate and distil from a 50 ml. Claisen flask with fractionating side arm a further 15 g. of reasonably pure acid, b.p. 69-70°/12 mm., is obtained. 

Method- 3. From platinum metal or platinum residues. Dissolve the platinum metal or platinum residues in aqua regia, evaporate just to dryness several times with concentrated hydrochloric acid, dissolve the final residue in a httle water and precipitate as ammonium chloro-platinate with excess of saturated ammonium chloride solution. Filter and dry the precipitate at 100°. Then proceed according to Method 1. 

It is advisable to test a small portion of the filtrate for platinum by acidifying with hydrochloric acid and adding a few drops of stannous chloride solution a yellow or brown colour develops according to the quantity of platinum pVesent. The yellow colour is soluble in ether, thus rendering the t t more sensitive. If platinum is found, treat the filtrate with excess of formaldehyde and sodium iQrdroxide solution and heat,- platinum black septarates on standing and may be filtered and worked up with other platinum residues (see Method 3). 

An additional small quantity of pelargonic acid may bo obtained by treating the solid residue with 60 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. 

Di lve 20 g. of the cyano ester in 100 ml. of rectified spirit and add a solution of 19 2 g. of pure potassium cyanide in 40 ml. of water. Allow to stand for 48 hours, then distil oflF the alcohol on a water bath. Add a large excess of concentrated hydrochloric acid and heat under reflux for 3 hours. Dilute with water, saturate the solution with ammonium sulphate, and extract with four 75 ml. portions of ether. Dry the combined ethereal extracts with anhydrous sodium or magnesium sulphate, and distil off the ether. RecrystaUise the residual acid from excess concentrated hydrochloric acid, and dry in the air. The yield of pure ew-dimethyl-succinic acid, m.p. 141-142°, is 12 g.
