Hydrogen chloride melting point

The major method for the production of methyl chloride (melting point -97.1°C, boiling point -24.2°C, density 0.9159) is by the reaction of methanol and hydrogen chloride, with the aid of a catalyst, in either the vapor or liquid phase. 

Reaction with hydrogen at 220°C in the presence of reduced nickel catalyst results in total decomposition to hydrogen chloride and carbon. An explosive reaction occurs with butylUthium in petroleum ether solution (4). Tetrachloroethylene also reacts explosively with metallic potassium at its melting point, however it does not react with sodium (5). 

A solution of 24.6 g of o-allyl-epoxypropoxybenzene dissolved in 250 ml of absolute ethanol saturated with ammonia was placed in an autoclave and heated on a steam-bath for 2 hours. The alcohol was then removed by distillation and the residue was redissolved in a mixture of methanol and ethylacetate. Hydrogen chloride gas was introduced into the solution. The hydrochloride salt was then precipitated by the addition of ether to yield 11.4 g of product. Five grams of the amine-hydrochloride thus formed were dissolved in 50 ml of methanol and 9 ml of acetone. The resulting solution was cooled to about 0°C. At this temperature 5 g of sodium borohydride were added over a period of 1 hour. Another 2.2 ml of acetone and O.B g of sodium borohydride were added and the solution was kept at room temperature for 1 hour, after which 150 ml of water were added to the solution. The solution was then extracted with three 100-ml portions of ether which were combined, dried over potassium carbonate, and evaporated. The free base was then recrystallized from petrol ether (boiling range 40°-60°C) to yield 2.7 g of material having a melting point of 57°C. 

An alternative purification can be effected by dissolving the reaction product in water. The ester base is liberated by rendering the clarified aqueous solution alkaline. Removal of the base from the alkaline solution is achieved by extraction with a Suitable solvent such as benzene or ether. The pure hydrochloride of diethylaminoethyl 2-chloro-4-aminobenzoate Is then precipitated from the dried extract by the addition of dry hydrogen chloride. After removal by filtration and recrystallization from ethanol it is found to have a melting point of 173° to 174°C. 

On evaporation of the ethyl ether from the ethyl ether solution, the benzhydryl ether was recovered as a pale yellow oil. The benzhydryl ether was dissolved in 60 ml of isopropanol and the isopropanol solution acidified to a pH of 3 with dry hydrogen chloride-methanol solution. The acidic propanol solution was then diluted with ethyl ether until a faint turbidity was observed. In a short time, the crystalline hydrochloride salt of the benzhydryl ether separated from the propanol solution. The crystallized salt was recrystallized once from 75 ml of isopropanol with the aid of ethyl ether in order to further purify the material. A yield of the pure hydrochloride salt of 1-methylpiperidyl-4-benzhydryl ether of 24.5 grams was obtained. This was 39% of the theoretical yield. The pure material had a melting point of 206°C. 

The free base d(-f)6-phenyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydroimida2o[2,1-bl thiazole Is dissolved in 112 ml of acetone and 178 ml of isopropanolic hydrogen chloride is added all at once. The hydrochloride crystallizes et once. After cooling to below 0°C, the salt is recovered by filtration and washed with acetone. The product weighs 75.2 g (0.312 mol), 91%, from the camphor-sulfonate, melting point 227 C to 227.5°C [alpM-H23.1°C (C = 15.H20). 

A mixture of 4.98 g of acetoacetic acid N-benzyl-N-methylaminoethyl ester, 2.3 g of aminocrotonic acid methyl ester, and 3 g of m-nitrobenzaldehyde was stirred for 6 hours at 100°C in an oil bath. The reaction mixture was subjected to a silica gel column chromatography (diameter 4 cm and height 25 cm) and then eluted with a 20 1 mixture of chloroform and acetone. The effluent containing the subject product was concentrated and checked by thin layer chromatography. The powdery product thus obtained was dissolved in acetone and after adjusting the solution with an ethanol solution saturated with hydrogen chloride to pH 1 -2, the solution was concentrated to provide 2 g of 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3 -nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridlne-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 3-methylester-5- -(N-benzyl-N-methylamino)ethyl ester hydrochloride. The product thus obtained was then crystallized from an acetone mixture, melting point 136°Cto 140°C (decomposed). 

A solution of N-(2-aminobenzvl)-1-phenyl-2-metKylaminoethanol-1 was prepared by the reaction of a-bromo-acetophenone and (2-nitrobenzyl)methylamine, followed by hydrogenation of the nitro group by means of nickei on diatomaceous earth at room temperature and reduction of the CO group by means of sodium borohydride. The intermediate thus produced was dissolved in 100 ml of methylene chloride and introduced dropwise into 125 ml of sulfuric acid at 10° to 15°C. After a short standing, the reaction mixture was poured onto ice and rendered alkaline by means of a sodium hydroxide solution. Dy extraction with ether, there was obtained 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-phenyl-8-amino-iso-quinoline. The base is reacted with maleic acid to give the maleate melting point of the maleate 199° to 201°C (from ethanol). 

N-methyl-4-piperidvl benzi/ata and the methiodide An intimate mixture of 0.1 mol of N-methyM-piperidinol hydrochloride and 0.1 mol diphenylchloroacetyl chloride is heated at 160°C to 180°C until the evolution of hydrogen chloride ceases (usually about 4 to 5 hours). The melt is then dissolved in 500 ml of water and the resultant mixture heated on a steam bath for about Vi hour, after which time complete solution is effected. The acid solution is cooled and rendered alkaline with ammonium hydroxide solution whereupon the ester is precipitated.The ester is purified either by removal by filtration and recrystallization from benzene petroleum ether or by extracting the mixture with benzene and precipitating the ester by the addition of petroleum ether. After recrystallization there is obtained about 0.06 mol of N-methyl-4-piperidyl benzilate, melting point 1 62°C to 163°C. 

It is hydrogenated and converted to the hydrochloride in subsequent steps. The hydrogen chloride has a melting point of 192°-194°C. 

A solution of 1.7 g of 2-hydroxymethyl-3-benzyloxy-(1-hydroxy-2-tert-butyl-aminoethyl)py-ridine in 30 ml of methanol containing 1.2 ml of water is shaken with 700 mg of 5% palladium-onatmospheric pressure. In 17 minutes the theoretical amount of hydrogen has been consumed and the catalyst is filtered. Concentration of the filtrate under reduced pressure provides 1.4 g of the crude product as an oil. Ethanol (5 ml) Is added to the residual oil followed by 6 ml of 1.75N ethanolic hydrogen chloride solution and, finally, by 5 ml of Isopropyl ether. The precipitated product is filtered and washed with isopropyl ether containing 20% ethanol, 1.35 g, melting point 182 (dec.). 

The mixture was cooled in ice and a solution of 2-chloro-3-chloromethy I thiophene (8.8 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran was added. The mixture was heated at 70°C for 3 hours and allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue stirred with dry ether (200 ml). The ether solution was filtered through Celite and saturated with hydrogen chloride gas to precipitate an oil which was solidified by trituration with ether and ethyl acetate. The solid product was collected and recrystallized from a mixture of acetone and diisopropyl ether to give the product, melting point 168°C to 170°C. 

The solvents were evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was taken up in 80 ml of 3M hydrochloric acid. After addition of 220 ml of water, the insoluble material was filtered off, washed with 100 ml of water and then dried. The insoluble material weighed 9.5 g and was mainly unreacted bromo compound. The filtrate was reacted with 50 ml of 7 M NaOH, extracted three times with methylene chloride (50 m -t 2 x 25 ml portions), dried over potassium carbonate, and then evaporated. The yield of residue was 26.8 g which corresponds to 71.4% of the theoretical yield. This residue was a colorless solidifying oil and was dissolved in 200 ml chloroform. Hydrogen chloride was bubbled in until a sample of the solution tested acidic to wet pH indicator paper. A precipitate was obtained and recovered by filtration. The precipitate was washed with chloroform and dried. The melting point was determined to be from 246 Cto247.5°C. 

Ethyl S-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-3-carboxy-1,4-dimethylpyrrole-2-acetate A suspension of 2.0 g of 5-(p-chiorobenzoyl)-3acetic acid in 20 ml of 0.5% ethanol ic hydrogen chloride is heated under reflux. The solid gradually dissolves. After 40 minutes a white crystalline solid precipitates. The solution is cooled and the solid product, ethyl 5-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-3[Pg.1603]

Crystalline polar polymers and solvents It has already been pointed out that at temperatures well below their melting point crystalline non-polar polymers will not interact with solvents, and similar considerations can apply to a large number of polar crystalline polymers. It has, however, been possible to find solvents for some polar, crystalline polymers such as the nylons, polyvinyl chloride and the polycarbonates. This is because of specific interactions between polymer and solvent that may often occur, e.g. by hydrogen bonding. 

A. Esterification of a-Cyano-0-Phenylacrylic Acid — In a 200-cc. round-bottom flask fitted with a reflux condenser, 50 g. of dry a-cyano-0-phenylacrylic acid (Org. Syn. 7, 20) is boiled for four and a half hours with 100 cc. of absolute alcohol containing 3-4 g. of anhydrous hydrogen chloride. The resulting solution is filtered rapidly while hot and allowed to stand overnight. Long, flat, colorless prisms separate which are filtered off with suction, washed with a little cold alcohol and dried in air. A further small quantity may be obtained by working up the mother liquor. The melting-point of the ethyl a-cyano-/3-phenylacrylate is 50° and the yield 46.5-53 g. (82-94 per cent of the theoretical amount).
