In aqueous solution at 100° the change is reversible and equilibrium is reached when 95 per cent, of the ammonium cyanate has changed into urea. Urea is less soluble in water than is ammonium sulphate, hence if the solution is evaporated, urea commences to separate, the equilibrium is disturbed, more ammonium cyanate is converted into urea to maintain the equilibrium and evfflitually the change into urea becomes almost complete. The urea is isolated from the residue by extraction with boiling methyl or ethyl alcohol. The mechanism of the reaction which is generally accepted involves the dissociation of the ammonium cyanate into ammonia and cyanic acid, and the addition of ammonia to the latter ... 

The formation of ethyl acetoacetate is an example of a general reaction knowu as the acetoacetlc ester condensation in which an ester having hydrogen on the a-carbon atom condenses with a second molecule of the same ester or with another ester (which may or may not have hydrogen on the a-carbon atom) in the presence of a basic catalyst (sodium, sodium ethoxide, sodamide, sodium triphenylmethide) to form a p-keto-ester. The mechanism of the reaction may be illustrated by the condensation of ethyl acetate with another molecule of ethyl acetate by means of sodium ethoxide. ...

Evidence which suggests a possible mechanism of the reaction is provided by a study of the formation of benzaldehyde in poor yield from methylenebenzylamine benzaldehyde and ammonia (in equivalent amounts) and metliylbenzylamine are isolated ... 

The mechanism of the reaction probably involves the production, by into -action of the aldehyde with hydroxide ions, of two reducing anions, the first (I) more easily than the second (II). Either of these anions may transfer a hydride ion to a carbonyl carbon atom in another aldehyde molecule ... 

The mechanism of the reaction, which is of the aldol type, involves the car-bonyl group of tlie aldehyde and an active methylene group of the anhydride the function of the basic catalyst B (acetate ion 0H3000 or triethylamine N(0,Hb)j) is to form the anion of the active hydrogen component, i.e., by the extraction of a proton from the anhydride ... 

An important general method of preparing indoles, known as the Fischer Indole synthesis, consists in heating the phenylhydrazone of an aldehyde, ketone or keto-acld in the presence of a catalyst such as zinc chloride, hydrochloric acid or glacial acetic acid. Thus acrtophenone phenylhydrazone (I) gives 2-phenyllndole (I V). The synthesis involves an intramolecular condensation with the elimination of ammonia. The following is a plausible mechanism of the reaction ... 

A mixture of an acid anhydride and a ketone is saturated with boron trifluoride this is followed by treatment with aqueous sodium acetate. The quantity of boron trifluoride absorbed usually amounts to 100 mol per cent, (based on total mola of ketone and anhydride). Catalytic amounts of the reagent do not give satisfactory results. This is in line with the observation that the p diketone is produced in the reaction mixture as the boron difluoride complex, some of which have been isolated. A reasonable mechanism of the reaction postulates the conversion of the anhydride into a carbonium ion, such as (I) the ketone into an enol type of complex, such as (II) followed by condensation of (I) and (II) to yield the boron difluoride complex of the p diketone (III) ... 

The following mechanism of the reaction has been suggested it includes the coordination of the carbonyl compound with the aluminium atom in aluminium sopropoxide and the transfer of a hydride Ion ... 

The mechanism of the reaction probably involves the production of bivalent carbon during the initial loss of nitrogen the group R shifte from an adjacent position to this carbon leading to the production of a keten the latter then reacts with the solvent to give an acid, an amide or an ester.

The mechanism of the reaction la not known with certainty. It is known from studies utilising as tracer that no change in the carbon skeleton occurs during the reaction, and also that unsaturated hydrocarbons can undergo reactions very similar to those of ketones thus both styiene and phenyl-acetylene can react with sulphur and morpholine to produce phenylaceto-thiomorphoUde, hydrolysis of which yields phenylacetic acid ...

Our knowledge of the mechanism of the reaction in this medium comes from an investigation of the nitration of nitrobenzene, /)-chloronitro-benzene and i-nitroanthraquinone. These compounds underwent reaction according to the following rate law ... 

Not-Strike may have seen. But what Dr. Quack did that SWINS did not was use the bisulfite test with positive results. What does that mean It means that some doublebonded oxygen was formed, unless Dr. Quack was fibbing to us, It cannot have been a propiophenone (don t ask) because propiophenones cannot form the bisulfite addition product. Could an aldehyde have formed (don t ask) Maybe. But highly unlikely considering the mechanism of the reaction. 

Anilines react with ct-haloacetophenones to give 2-arylindoles. In a typical procedure an W-phenacylaniline is heated with a tw o-fold excess of the aniline hydrobromide to 200-250°C[1]. The mechanism of the reaction was the subject of considerable investigation in the 1940s[2]. A crucial aspect of the reaction seems to be the formation of an imine of the acetophenone which can isomerize to an aldimine intermediate. This intermediate apparently undergoes cyclization more rapidly (path bl -> b2) than its precursor (Scheme 7.3). Only with very reactive rings, e.g, 3,5-dimethoxyaniline, has the alternative cydiz-ation (path al a2) to a 3-arylindole been observed and then only under modified reaction conditions[3],... 

The mechanism of the reaction can be interpreted as involving a mesomeric effect of the 2-hydrazone group that leads to a negative charge on the 5-carbon (Scheme 46). 

Hydrogen exchange, in thiazole, especially deuteration, has been quantitatively investigated (379,380), but the mechanism of the reaction carried out at acidic or neutral pH corresponds to a protonation-deprotonation process (380), different from electrophilic substitution and is discussed in section I.3.E.

Chemical and biological sensors (qv) are important appHcations of LB films. In field-effect devices, the tunneling current is a function of the dielectric constant of the organic film (85—90). For example, NO2, an electron acceptor, has been detected by a phthalocyanine (or a porphyrin) LB film. The mechanism of the reaction is a partial oxidation that introduces charge carriers into the film, thus changing its band gap and as a result, its dc-conductivity. Field-effect devices are very sensitive, but not selective. 

The i5p-titanium(IV) atom is hard, ie, not very polarizable, and can be expected to form its most stable complexes with hard ligands, eg, fluoride, chloride, oxygen, and nitrogen. Soft or relatively polarizable ligands containing second- and third-row elements or multiple bonds should give less stable complexes. The stabihty depends on the coordination number of titanium, on whether the ligand is mono- or polydentate, and on the mechanism of the reaction used to measure stabihty. 

The olefins that undergo metathesis include most simple and substituted olefins cycHc olefins give linear high molecular-weight polymers. The mechanism of the reaction is beheved to involve formation of carbene complexes that react via cycHc intermediates, ie, metaHacycles. Industrial olefin metathesis processes are carried out with soHd catalysts (30). 

This reaction was also extended to other aromatic aldehydes for the preparation of a,P unsaturated carboxyUc acids. Several mechanisms of the reaction have been proposed (45). The most accepted mechanism iavolves the reaction of the aldehyde with the enol form of the acid anhydride which is promoted by the presence of the sodium salt or of another base. The resulting reaction product is then dehydrated iato an unsaturated carboxyUc acid. 

The mechanism of the reaction is now well known due to a series of kinetic studies by Katritzky et al. (Table 31). The nature, free base or conjugate acid, of the substrate depends on the substituents in the pyrazole ring and on the acidity of the nitrating mixture.
