The independent preparation of potassium phthabmide (from a solution of phthalimide in absolute ethanol and potassium hydroxide in 75 per cent, ethanol) may be avoided in many cases by boiling phthalimide with the halide in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate. The N-substituted phthalimide (I) is frequently cleav with difficulty this is often facilitated by reaction with hydrazine hydrate to give an intermediate product, which is easily decomposed by hydrochloric acid to 3deld the insoluble hydrazide of phthaUc acid (II) and the primary amine (III) ... 

Primary aromatic amines differ from primary aliphatic amines in their reaction with nitrous acid. Whereas the latter yield the corresponding alcohols (RNHj — ROH) without formation of intermediate products see Section 111,123, test (i), primary aromatic amines 3neld diazonium salts. Thus aniline gives phcnyldiazonium chloride (sometimes termed benzene-diazonium chloride) CjHbNj- +C1 the exact mode of formation is not known, but a possible route is through the phenjdnitrosoammonium ion tlius ... 

Urea - formaldehyde polymers. Formalin and urea (usually in the molecular proportions of 3 2) condense in the presence of ammonia, pyridine or hexamine to give urea - formaldehyde polymers, known commercially as Bedle or Plaskon, and are widely used as moulding powdens. It is believed that the intermediate products in the condensation are methylol-urea and dimethylol-urea ... 

Nitriles. These are best hydrolysed by boiling either with 30-40 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution or with 50-70 per cent, sulphuric acid during several hours, but the reaction takes place less readily than for primary amides. Indeed the latter are intermediate products in the hydrolysis ... 

Seienazolidines can also be obtained by first treating aziridine with hydrogen selenide and condensing the intermediate product with a carbonyl compound (Scheme 70) (Methode II). 

The results initially obtained were due to the formation in both aqueous and alcoholic solution of resinous by-products. This formation results from the decomposition of the ammonium dithiocarbamate, or from the self-condensation of chloroacetaldehyde or the formation of intermediate products. 

Several early interpretations of the polymerization mechanism have been proposed (1,17,29—31). Because of the complexity of this polymerization and insoluble character of the products, key intermediates have not ordinarily been isolated, nor have the products been characterized. Later work, however, on the resinification of furfural (32,33) has provided a new insight on the polymerization mechanism, particularly with respect to thermal reaction at 100—250°C in the absence of air. Based on the isolation and characterization of two intermediate products (9) and (10), stmcture (11) was proposed for the final resin. This work also explains the color produced during resinification, which always is a characteristic of the final polymer (33). The resinification chemistry is discussed in a recent review (5). 

The base-catalyzed reaction of acetaldehyde with excess formaldehyde [50-00-0] is the commercial route to pentaerythritol [115-77-5]. The aldol condensation of three moles of formaldehyde with one mole of acetaldehyde is foUowed by a crossed Cannizzaro reaction between pentaerythrose, the intermediate product, and formaldehyde to give pentaerythritol (57). The process proceeds to completion without isolation of the intermediate. Pentaerythrose [3818-32-4] has also been made by condensing acetaldehyde and formaldehyde at 45°C using magnesium oxide as a catalyst (58). The vapor-phase reaction of acetaldehyde and formaldehyde at 475°C over a catalyst composed of lanthanum oxide on siHca gel gives acrolein [107-02-8] (59). 

The significance of industrial acrolein production may be clearer if one considers the two major uses of acrolein—direct oxidation to acryUc acid and reaction to produce methionine via 3-methyhnercaptopropionaldehyde. In acryUc acid production, acrolein is not isolated from the intermediate production stream. The 1990 acryUc acid production demand in the United States alone accounted for more than 450,000 t/yr (28), with worldwide capacity approaching 1,470,000 t/yr (29). Approximately 0.75 kg of acrolein is required to produce one kilogram of acryUc acid. The methionine production process involves the reaction of acrolein with methyl mercaptan. Worldwide methionine production was estimated at about 170,000 t/yr in 1990 (30). (See Acrylic ACID AND DERIVATIVES AmINO ACIDS, SURVEY.)... 

Plasma fractionation is unusual in pharmaceutical manufacturing because it involves the processing of proteins and the preparation of multiple products from a single feedstock. A wide range of unit operations are utilized to accompHsh these tasks. They are Hsted in Table 3 some are common to a number of products and all must be closely integrated. The overall manufacturing operation can be represented as a set of individual product streams, each based on the processing of an intermediate product derived from a mainstream fractionation process (Fig. 1). 

Factor VIII, immunoglobulin, and albumin are all held as protein precipitates, the first as cryoprecipitate and the others as the Cohn fractions FI + II + III (or FII + III) and FIV + V (or FV), respectively (Table 7, Fig. 2). Similarly, Fractions FIVj + FIV can provide an intermediate product for the preparation of antithrombin III and a-1-proteinase inhibitor. This abiUty to reduce plasma to a number of compact, stable, intermediate products, together with the bacteriacidal properties of cold-ethanol, are the principal reasons these methods are stiU used industrially. 

Reaction of phenyl metaborate with formaldehyde, followed by catalytic oxidation, has been reported to give sahcylaldehyde selectively and directiy from phenol without isolation of any intermediate products (63). 

The availability of lasers having pulse durations in the picosecond or femtosecond range offers many possibiUties for investigation of chemical kinetics. Spectroscopy can be performed on an extremely short time scale, and transient events can be monitored. For example, the growth and decay of intermediate products in a fast chemical reaction can be followed (see Kinetic measurements). 

Ozone accelerates the autoxidation of acetaldehyde to peracetic acid at below 15°G. Acetaldehyde hemiacetal peracetate, an intermediate product, is... 

There is evidence that dioxirane is an intermediate product in the low temperature ozonization of ethylene and is probably formed from the diradical resonance isomer of the 1,3-zwitterion (164). 

Pulse radiolysis results (74) have led other workers to conclude that adsorbed OH radicals (surface trapped holes) are the principal oxidants, whereas free hydroxyl radicals probably play a minor role, if any. Because the OH radical reacts with HO2 at a diffusion controlled rate, the reverse reaction, that is desorption of OH to the solution, seems highly unlikely. The surface trapped hole, as defined by equation 18, accounts for most of the observations which had previously led to the suggestion of OH radical oxidation. The formation of H2O2 and the observations of hydroxylated intermediate products could all occur via... 

The polyamide copolymer of dodecanoic acid with methylenedi(cyclohexylamine) (MDCHA, PACM) was sold as continuous filament yam fiber under the tradename QIANA. As late as 1981, over 145,000 t was produced using high percentages, typically 80%, of trans, trans MDCHA isomer. The low melting raffinate coproduct left after t,t isomer separation by fractional crystallisation was phosgenated to produce a Hquid aUphatic diisocyanate marketed by Du Pont as Hylene W. Upon terrnination of their QIANA commitment, Du Pont sold the urethane intermediate product rights to Mobay, who now markets the 20% trans, trans—50% cis, trans—30% cis, cis diisocyanate isomer mixture as Desmodur W. In addition to its use in polyamides and as an isocyanate precursor, methylenedi (cyclohexyl amine) is used directiy as an epoxy curative. The Hquid diamine mixture identified historically as PACM-20 is marketed as AMICURE PACM by Anchor Chemical for performance epoxies. 

Sulfur is unusual compared to most large mineral commodities in that the largest portion of sulfur is used as a chemical reagent rather than as a component of a finished product. Its predominant use as a process chemical generally requires that it first be converted to an intermediate chemical product prior to use in industry. In most of the ensuing chemical reactions between these sulfur-containing intermediate products and other minerals and chemicals, the sulfur values are not retained. Rather, the sulfur values are most often discarded as a component of the waste product. 

Sulfuric acid is the most important sulfur-containing intermediate product. More than 85% of the sulfur consumed in the world is either converted to sulfuric acid or produced direcdy as such (see Sulfuric acid and sulfur trioxide). Worldwide, well over half of the sulfuric acid is used in the manufacture of phosphatic fertilizers and ammonium sulfate for fertilizers. The sulfur source may be voluntary elemental, such as from the Frasch process recovered elemental from natural gas or petroleum or sulfur dioxide from smelter operations. 

Reduction to Metal Powder. The metal powder is obtained from APT by stepwise reduction with carbon or hydrogen. The intermediate products are the yeUow oxide, WO blue oxide, (see Tungsten compounds) and brown oxide, WO2. Because carbon introduces impurities,... 

The most significant chemical characteristic of L-ascorbic acid (1) is its oxidation to dehydro-L-ascorbic acid (L-// fi (9-2,3-hexodiulosonic acid y-lactone) (3) (Fig. 1). Vitamin C is a redox system containing at least three substances L-ascorbic acid, monodehydro-L-ascorbic acid, and dehydro-L-ascorbic acid. Dehydro-L-ascorbic acid and the intermediate product of the oxidation, the monodehydro-L-ascorbic acid free radical (2), have antiscorbutic activity equal to L-ascorbic acid. 

The common oxidants are ozone, hydrogen peroxide, H2O, catalyzed usually with ferrous iron, Fe , and ia some cases chlorine dioxide and uv light. Advanced oxidation systems iaclude H2O2 + uv ozone + uv and H2O2, ozone, and uv. Depending on the appHcation, the oxidation can be complete to end products as in a contaminated groundwater or partial to degradable intermediate products as in a process wastewater. 

Epoxy Resins. Epoxy resins (qv) or polyether resins are thermosets used as the binder for terrazzo dooring. The epoxy resin often is made from epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A. An excess of epichlorohydrin is used to assure that the intermediate product contains terminal epoxide groups.
