Main products

CgHsCHjCN + HNOa —> p-NOjCeH CHjCN (main product) + HjO 

When an alkyl halide is treated with sodium, the main product is the paraffin hydrocarbon. The final result may be represented by the equation  

Although two isomeric esters are theoretically possible, the main product is the 2-ester (formulated above) traces of the isomeric l-ester are eliminated during purification. These derivatives possess a free carboxyl group their equivalent weights may therefore be determined by titration with standard alkali and thus serve as an additional check upon the identity of the compound. 

Dry distillation of sodium laevulinate (I) with phosphorus sulphide gives 2-methylthiophene (II) as the main product  

Add 2 mi. of ethanol to the solution, shake the mixture and warm gently. Phenetole (ethyl phenyl ether) is the main product. 

Benzoin condenses with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of alkah to give a-benzoinoxime ( cupron ) as the main product  

The preparation of a number of miscellaneous acids is described. m-Nitrobenzoic acid. Although m-nitrobenzoic acid is the main product of the direct nitration of benzoic acid with potassium nitrate and concentrated sulphuric acid, the complete separation of the small quantity of the attendant para isomer is a laborious process. It is preferable to nitrate methyl benzoate and hydrolyse the resulting methyl w-nitrobenzoate, which is easily obtained in a pure condition  

Arsenic dissolves in concentrated nitric acid forming arsenicfV) acid, H3ASO4, but in dilute nitric acid and concentrated sulphuric acid the main product is the arsenic(III) acid, HjAsOj. The more metallic element, antimony, dissolves to form the (III) oxide Sb O, with moderately concentrated nitric acid, but the (V) oxide Sb205 (structure unknown) with the more concentrated acid. Bismuth, however, forms the salt bismulh(lll) nitrate Bi(N03)3. 5H,0. 

This view is supported by the fact that if diazominobenzene is dissolved in dimethylaniline in the presence of the hydrochloride of the latter, the main product is p-dimethylamino-azobenzene, CgHjN=NCgHgN(CH3)2 this is because dimethylaniline couples in the nucleus more readily than does aniline. The reaction is an electrophilic displacement of hydrogen by the diazonium ioii  

The carbonylation of aryl iodides in the presence of terminal alkynes affords the acyl alkynes 565. Bidentate ligands such as dppf give good results. When PhjP is used, phenylacetylene is converted into diphenylacetylene as a main product[4l5]. Triflates react similarly to give the alkynyl ketones 566[4I6], In 

However, in the reaction of 1-alkenylboranes with aryl- or 1-alkenyi iodides. 2-aryl-l-alkenes 648 are obtained as the main products. When Pd metal produced from Pd(OAc)2 as a catalyst and EtjN as a weak bu.se are u.sed. abnormal products are formed. On the other hand, normal products 649 are obtained by using NaOH[5l7]. 

Amylene is a general name for the ethylenic hydrocarbons of the molecular formula CjHio. Two of these hydrocarbons are the main products of the dehydration of the appropriate amyl alcohols  

Hydrazoic acid behaves as both an oxidising and reducing agent in solution. Thus it will oxidise hydrochloric acid to chlorine, the main products being nitrogen and ammonium ions  

Clemmensen reduction of aldehydes and ketones. Upon reducing aldehydes or ketones with amalgamated zinc and concentrated hydrochloric acid, the main products are the hydrocarbons (>C=0 —> >CHj), but variable quantities of the secondary alcohols (in the case of ketones) and unsaturated substances are also formed. Examples are  

Acetic acid can be chlorinated by gaseous chlorine in the presence of red phosphorus as catalyst to yield successively mono-, di-, and tri-chloroacetic acid the reaction proceeds better in bright sunlight. If the chlorination is stopped when approximately one molecule of chlorine per molecule of acetic acid is absorbed the main product is monochloroacetic acid  

The nitration of anisole in 40% aq. nitric acid in the presence of some nitrous acid yielded 2,4-dinitrophenol as the main product. In more concentrated solutions of nitric acid 0- and />-nitroanisoles were the main products, less than o-1 % of the weta-isomer being formed. " The isomeric ratios for nitration imder a variety of conditions are given later ( 5.3.4). 

Mono-substitution products of primary amines cannot easUy be prepared by direct action of the appropriate reagent for example, bromination of aniline yields largely the 2 4 6-tribomo derivative and nitration results in much oxidation. If, however, the amino group is protected as in acetanilide, smooth substitution occurs. Thus with bromine, />-bromoacetanilide is the main product the small quantity of the ortlio isomeride simultaneously formed can be easily eliminated by crystallisation. Hydrolysis of p-bromoacetanilide gives/ -bromoaniline  

The oxidative coupling of alkenes which have two substituents at the 2 posi-tion, such as isobutylene, styrene, 2-phenylpropene, 1,1-diphenylethylene, and methyl methacrylate, takes place to give the 1,1,4.4-tetrasubstituted butadienes 285 by the action of Pd(OAc)2 or PdCF in the presence of sodium acetate[255-257]. Oxidation of styrene with Pd(OAc)2 produces 1.4-diphenylbutadiene (285, R = H) as a main product and a- and /3-acetoxystyrenes as minor pro-ducts[258]. Prolonged oxidation of the primary coupling product 285 (R = Me) of 2-phenylpropene with an excess of Pd(OAc)2 leads slowly to p- 

Electrolysis, under similar conditions, of a mixture of two carboxylic acids RCOOH and R COOH leads, in addition to normal coupling products R—R and R —R, to cross coupling R—R. If a mixture of a saturated carboxylic acid and a half ester of an ato-dicarboxylic acid is electrolysed, there are three main products, viz., a hydrocarbon (I), a mono-ester (II), and a di-ester (HI) and these are readily separable by distillation. Some unsaturated ester (IV) is often present in small quantity. 

Allenes also react with aryl and alkenyl halides, or triflates, and the 7r-allyl-palladium intermediates are trapped with carbon nucleophiles. The formation of 283 with malonate is an example[186]. The steroid skeleton 287 has been constructed by two-step reactions of allene with the enol trillate 284, followed by trapping with 2-methyl-l,3-cyclopentanedione (285) to give 286[187]. The inter- and intramolecular reactions of dimethyl 2,3-butenylmalonate (288) with iodobenzene afford the 3-cyclopentenedicarboxylate 289 as a main product) 188]. 

N-Nitrosodiethylamine. Add 36-5 g. (51-5 ml.) of diethylamine slowly to the calculated quantity of carefully standardised 5A-hydra chloric acid cooled in ice (1). Introduce the solution of the hydi ochloride into a solution of 39 g. of sodium nitrite (assumed to be of 90 per cent, purity) in 45 ml. of water contained in a 250 ml. distilling flask. Distil the mixture rapidly to dryness. Separate the yellow upper layer of the nitrosamine from the distillate saturate the aqueous layer with soUd potassium carbonate and remove the nitroso compound which separates and add it to the main product. Dry over anhydrous potassium carbonate and distil. Collect the diethylnitrosamine at 172-173-5°, The yield is 41 g.
