Complicating the development of ISEs for higher actinide ions is their inherent radioactivity. They also have chemistry tiiat often differs from that of the uranyl cation. Actinides from americium to lawrencium display solution-phase chemical features that resemble those of the trivalent lanthanides. Conversely, in certain oxidation states, the early actinides (thorium through neptunium) often mimic transition metals. Also, as mentioned above, many of the actinides can exist in a large number of oxidation states. For instance, in the case of plutonium, four oxidation states can exist simultaneously in aqueous solution. Finally, as true for the lanthanides, complex salts with hydroxide, halogens, perchlorates, sulfates, carbonates, and phosphates are well known for most of the actinides. 

It is frequently advisable in the routine examination of an ester, and before any derivatives are considered, to determine the saponification equivalent of the ester. In order to ensure that complete hydrolysis takes place in a comparatively short time, the quantitative saponi fication is conducted with a standardised alcoholic solution of caustic alkali—preferably potassium hydroxide since the potassium salts of organic acids are usuaUy more soluble than the sodium salts. A knowledge of the b.p. and the saponification equivalent of the unknown ester would provide the basis for a fairly accurate approximation of the size of the ester molecule. It must, however, be borne in mind that certain structures may effect the values of the equivalent thus aliphatic halo genated esters may consume alkali because of hydrolysis of part of the halogen during the determination, nitro esters may be reduced by the alkaline hydrolysis medium, etc. 

Ruthenium is a hard, white metal and has four crystal modifications. It does not tarnish at room temperatures, but oxidizes explosively. It is attacked by halogens, hydroxides, etc. Ruthenium can be plated by electrodeposition or by thermal decomposition methods. The metal is one of the most effective hardeners for platinum and palladium, and is alloyed with these metals to make electrical contacts for severe wear resistance. A ruthenium-molybdenum alloy is said to be... 

The most widely used method for the preparation of carboxylic acids is ester hydrolysis. The esters are generally prepared by heterocyclization (cf. Chapter II), the most useful and versatile of which is the Hantzsch s synthesis, that is the condensation of an halogenated a- or /3 keto ester with a thioamide (1-20). For example ethyl 4-thiazole carboxylate (3) was prepared by Jones et al. from ethyl a-bromoacetoacetate (1) and thioformamide (2) (1). Hydrolysis of the ester with potassium hydroxide gave the corresponding acid (4) after acidification (Scheme 1). 

Preparation of phlorogluciaol or its monomethyl ether by reaction of a halogenated phenol with an alkaU metal hydroxide in an inert organic medium by means of a benzyne intermediate has been patented (142). For example, 4-chlororesorcinol reacts with excess potassium hydroxide under nitrogen in refluxing pseudocumene (1,2,4-trimethylbenzene) with the consequent formation of pure phlorogluciaol in 68% yield. In a version of this process, the solvent is omitted but a small amount of water is employed (143). 

Halogen Substituents. Halogen functional groups are readily replaced by nucleophiles, eg, hydroxide ion, especially when they ate attached at the a- or y-position of the pyridine ting. This reaction has been exploited in the synthesis of the insecticide chlorpyrifos [2921-88-2J (43) (42), and the insecticide tiiclopyi [55335-06-3] (44) (14,43). 2,3,5,6-Tetiachloiopyiidine [2402-79-1] reacts with caustic to form the hydioxylated material [6515-38-4], which then can be used to form (44) and (43). 

Nucleophilic Substitutions of Benzene Derivatives. Benzene itself does not normally react with nucleophiles such as haUde ions, cyanide, hydroxide, or alkoxides (7). However, aromatic rings containing one or more electron-withdrawing groups, usually halogen, react with nucleophiles to give substitution products. An example of this type of reaction is the industrial conversion of chlorobenzene to phenol with sodium hydroxide at 400°C (8). 

These 0-bonded substituents are easily cleaved with hydroxide ion to give the corresponding hydroxyl derivative, [B H (OH)] or [B H 2(OH)2] , n = 10,12. Halogenation of [B22H22] A by HCl and HF has been termed acid-catalyzed nucleophilic attack (95). 

In the known absence of bromoform, iodoform, chloral, and other halogenated methanes, the formation of phenyhsonitrile with aniline provides a simple and faidy sensitive but nonspecific test for the presence of chloroform, the carbylamine test. Phenyhsonitrile formation is the identification test given in the British Pharmacopoeia. A small quantity of resorcinol and caustic soda solution (10% concentration) added to chloroform results in the appearance of a yellowish red color, fluorescing yeUow-green. When 0.5 mL of a 5% thymol solution is boiled with a drop of chloroform and a small quantity of potassium hydroxide solution, a yellow color with a reddish sheen develops the addition of sulfuric acid causes a change to brilliant violet, which, diluted with water, finally changes to blue (33). 

Halogen Reactions. Hydrolysis of chlorotoluenes to cresols has been effected by aqueous sodium hydroxide. Both displacement and benzyne formation are involved (27,28). o-Chlorotoluene reacts with sodium in Hquid ammonia to afford a mixture of 67% of o-toluidine [95-53-4] and 33% of yW-toluidine [108-44-1], C H CIN, as shown in equation 3 (29). 

Reactive halogens in various series have been removed by catalytic hydrogenation with either platinum or palladium catalysts, and other nucleophiles which have been used in chloride displacements include hydroxide ion, alkoxides, hydrosulflde, hydrazine and toluene-p-sulfonylhydrazine, and trimethyl phosphite. 

Furan reacts vigorously with chlorine and bromine at room temperature to give poly-halogenated products. Low temperature (-40 °C) reaction of furan with chlorine in dichloromethane yields mainly 2-chlorofuran and reaction of furan with dioxane dibromide at 0 °C affords 2-bromofuran in good yield. 2-Iodofuran is obtained by treatment of 2-furoic acid with iodine and potassium iodide in aqueous sodium hydroxide.
