Michael addition to unsaturated amides. This system (1 equiv. of each) effects Michael addition of ketones, nitro compounds, ethyl cyanoacetate, and diethyl malonate to a,(3-unsaturated amides. Addition to methacrylamides is interesting because the final products are glutarimides or dihydropyridinones. 

Pyrimido[5,4-c]-l,2,5-oxadiazinones (417) are suitable starting materials to construct annulated pyrazines. Reaction with carbanions derived from CH-acidic compounds, activated by two different electron-withdrawing functions, proceed in a regioselective manner by initial attack at the N—O bond. Triethyl phosphonoacetate, /f-ketophosphonates, nitro ketones, nitro esters, sulfonylacetates, and JV-acetoacetylglycine have been applied to form 6,7-disubstituted lumazines (418) (Equation (18)) <91H(32)79>. 

Tertiary halides, acetates and methyl ethers, aryl-activated secondary halides, prenyl halides and acetates, acetals, ketals, thioacetals, a-chloroalkyl ethers, and, particularly, a-chloroalkyl phenyl sulrides have been widely used as alkylating agents. Such reagents may contain a variety of functional groups including alkenes, esters, halides, ketones, nitro groups and silyl ethers.

Reduction. An early report2 stated that aldehydes and a-hydroxy ketones are reduced by this reagent but that ketones, nitro compounds, carboxylic acids, and esters are not reduced. Borch and Durst,3 however, found that some ketones are reduced, but more slowly than with sodium borohydride. One advantage over the latter reagent is that lithium cyanohydridoborate is stable in acid up to pH 3 and hence can be used for reduction of groups sensitive to high pH (e.g., thiamine). 

Numerous studies have shown that low hydrogen overpotential electrically conducting catalysts (e.g., Raney nickel, platinum and palladium on carbon powder, and Devarda copper) can be used to electrocatalyticaUy hydrogenate a variety of organic compounds including benzene and multiring aromatic compounds, phenol, ketones, nitro compounds, dinitriles, and glucose [45, 46, 54, 55, 67-71]. These reactions have been carried out in both batch and semicontinuous flow reactors in most cases, the reaction products were similar to those obtained from a traditional chemical catalytic scheme at elevated temperatures and pressures.

Rate coefficients have been determined for the reactions of NO3 with a number of aliphatic mono- and dialkenes and monoterpenes with a relative kinetic method. The measured rate coefficients are listed in Chapter 2, Table 2. The products of the reactions were also investigated using in situ FTIR. The formation of thermally unstable nitro-oxy-peroxynitrate-type compounds was observed. The final products included aldehydes/ketones, nitro-oxy-aldehydes and -ketones and dinitrate compounds. 

Retention indices find further application in characterization of stationary phases. AppHcation of the concept of McReynolds uses a series of five solutes of differing chemical class (alcohol, aromatic, ketone, nitro, pyridine) to compare their retention indices on the test phase, against their retention indices on a stationary phase accepted to have very little polarity (squalane). It can be argued that if a solute exhibits greater retention index on the test phase, then the intermolecular interactions between the solute and the phase are stronger than in the case when squalane is used, which means that the test phase should also exert a similar effect on similar solutes. Colloquially this is referred to as the phase polarity , and a scale may be set up according to the following ... 

Organic compounds may be detected by testing for a particular functional group (e.g., ketone, nitro compound) or for individual compounds. Tests for the more common functional groups are summarized in Table 3. Specific tests for some important individual compounds are given in Table 4. In the majority of cases, there is some previous knowledge about the origin of the sample, which may replace the necessity for complete specificity.

The retention characteristics of over 40 small polar molecules (phenols, phenyl alcohols, imines, phenylcarboxylic acids, phenyl esters, phenyl. ethers, phenyl ketones, nitro- and cyanophenols) were studied on C4 and C g stationary phases [117]. Experimental results explain the advantages of methanol over other organic mobile phase components (e.g., acetonitrile) in the separation of aliphatic alcohols, phenols, and carboxylic acids. Methanol, through its reciprocal hydrogen bond donor/acceptor character forms stable complexes with these solutes in the stationary phase, giving enhanced selectivity for these solute types. The k values for these 40 solutes are tabulated for 20/80, 25/75, and 50/50 methanol/water mobile phases. 

Weakly intermediate polar. These may include ethers, aldehydes, ketones, nitro and nitrile compounds (without a-hydrogen atoms), and tertiary amines. 

Concentrated, oxidising acids such as sulfuric, nitric and chromic acids which cause decomposition the rate of decomposition may be accelerated in the presence of metals, for example, zinc and iron. Attacked by bromine and fluorine even at room temperature. Unsuitable for use in contact with aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones, nitro-compounds, esters and cyclic ethers these penetrate the PVC and cause marked swelling. Can have a high impact strength but can be very notch sensitive. Methylene chloride can be used to detect an under-gelled compound.
