Methyl acetate hydrate

Solvents account for 8% of methanol demand and include process uses such as extracting, washing, drying and crystallizing. Miscellaneous uses of methanol include the production of glycol methyl ethers, methyl acrylate and methyl acetate. Other uses include antifreeze, gasoline deicer, windshield washer fluid and hydrate inhibition in natural gas. 

The ammines of cobalt(II) are much less stable than those of cobalt(III) thermal decomposition of [Co(NH3)6]Cl2 is characterized by reversible loss of ammonia, whereas that of [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 is not. In his classic dichotomy of complexes, Biltz regarded [Co (NH 3)3] Cl 2 as the prototype of the normal complex and [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 as that of the Werner or penetration complex. Hexaamminecobalt-(II) chloride has been prepared by the action of gaseous ammonia on anhydrous cobalt (II) chloride or by displacing water from cobalt(II) chloride 6-hydrate with gaseous ammonia. It may also be synthesized in nonaqueous solvents by passing dry ammonia through solutions of cobalt(II) chloride in ethanol, acetone, or methyl acetate. Syntheses in the presence of water include heating cobalt(II) chloride 6-hydrate in a sealed tube with aqueous ammonia and alcohol and the treatment of aqueous cobalt(II) chloride with aqueous ammonia followed by precipitation of the product with ethanol. The latter method is used in this synthesis. Inasmuch as the compound is readily oxidized by air, especially when wet, the synthesis should be performed in an inert atmosphere.

A mixture of 20 g 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, 25 mL methyl Cellosolve, 2 g potassium iodide, and 28.1 g 2-bromoethylphthalimide was heated overnight on a steam bath. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo from the dark reaction product, and the residue was dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid, filtered from insoluble material, and then made alkaline with a sodium carbonate solution. The resulting 2-(l, 2, 3, 4 -tetrahydroquinolino)-ethylphthalimide that recrystallized from aqueous alcohol (m.p. 131-133°C), was suspended in 50 mL absolute alcohol, and 2.4 g 85% hydrazine hydrate was added. After the mixture was warmed gently for 5 h, an excess of dilute hydrochloric acid was added, and the mixture was filtered after standing for 1 h. An excess of 12.5 N NaOH was added to the filtrate, and a small amount of oily 2-(l, 2, 3, 4 -tetrahydroquino-lino)-ethylamine was taken up in methyl acetate. 

Place 80 g, of hydroxylamine sulphate (or 68-5 g. of the hydrochloride), 25 g. of hydrated sodium acetate, and 100 ml. of water in a 500 ml. flask fitted with a stirrer and a reflux water-condenser, and heat the stirred solution to 55-60°. Run in 35 g (42 nil,) of -hexyl methyl ketone, and continue the heating and vigorous stirring for ij hours. (The mixture can conveniently be set aside overnight after this stage.) Extract the oily oxime from the cold mixture twice with ether. Wash the united ethereal extract once with a small quantity of water, and dry it with sodium sulphate. Then distil off the ether from the filtered extract, preferably using a distillation flask of type shown in Fig. 41 (p. 65) and of ca, 50 ml, capacity, the extract being run in as fast as the ether distils, and then fractionally distil the oxime at water-pump pressure. Collect the liquid ketoxime, b.p. 110-111713 mm. Yield, 30-32 g. 

Dichloroacetic acid is produced in the laboratory by the reaction of chloral hydrate [302-17-0] with sodium cyanide (31). It has been manufactured by the chlorination of acetic and chloroacetic acids (32), reduction of trichloroacetic acid (33), hydrolysis of pentachloroethane [76-01-7] (34), and hydrolysis of dichloroacetyl chloride. Due to similar boiling points, the separation of dichloroacetic acid from chloroacetic acid is not practical by conventional distillation. However, this separation has been accompHshed by the addition of a eotropeforming hydrocarbons such as bromoben2ene (35) or by distillation of the methyl or ethyl ester. 

A mixture of 10 parts of 7-chloro-4-fluorobutyrophenone, 5.5 parts of 1-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridyl)-2-benzimidazolinone, 4 parts of sodium carbonate, and 0.1 part of potassium iodide in 176 parts of 4-methyl-2-pentanone is stirred and refluxed for 64 hours. The cooled reaction mixture is filtered and the solvent is evaporated from the filtrate to leave an oily residue which is dissolved in toluene. The toluene solution is filtered and the solvent is evaporated. The resultant residue is recrystallized from a mixture of 32 parts of ethyl acetate and 32 parts of diisopropyl ether to give 1-[1-[(4-fluorobenzoyl)propyll-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridyl]-2-benzimidazolinone hydrate melting at about 145°-146.5°C.

The hydration of triple bonds is generally carried out with mercuric ion salts (often the sulfate or acetate) as catalysts. Mercuric oxide in the presence of an acid is also a common reagent. Since the addition follows Markovnikov s rule, only acetylene gives an aldehyde. All other triple-bond compounds give ketones (for a method of reversing the orientation for terminal alkynes, see 15-16). With allqmes of the form RC=CH methyl ketones are formed almost exclusively, but with RC=CR both possible products are usually obtained. The reaction can be conveniently carried out with a catalyst prepared by impregnating mercuric oxide onto Nafion-H (a superacidic perfluorinated resinsulfonic acid). ... 

The most synthetically valuable method for converting alkynes to ketones is by mercuric ion-catalyzed hydration. Terminal alkynes give methyl ketones, in accordance with the Markovnikov rule. Internal alkynes give mixtures of ketones unless some structural feature promotes regioselectivity. Reactions with Hg(OAc)2 in other nucleophilic solvents such as acetic acid or methanol proceed to (3-acetoxy- or (3-methoxyalkenylmercury intermediates,152 which can be reduced or solvolyzed to ketones. The regiochemistry is indicative of a mercurinium ion intermediate that is opened by nucleophilic attack at the more positive carbon, that is, the additions follow the Markovnikov rule. Scheme 4.8 gives some examples of alkyne hydration reactions.
