Methyl tertiary butyl ketone

The technology is applicable to chlorinated and nonchlorinated VOCs methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) dichloroethylene (DCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), and tetrachloroethylene (per-chloroethylene, PCE) dichloroethane (DCA) vinyl chloride alcohols ethers ketones and halogenated and nonhalogenated paraffinic, olefinic, aliphatic, and aromatic hydrocarbons. It is very effective at treating benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) compounds and any oxygenate, such as acetone or isopropanol. 

Besides chalcones, other types of a,p-unsaturated carbonyls affording five-membered S-heterocycles were cinnamaldehyde, 12, and the a,p-unsaturated methyl ketone 13 and phenyl ketones 14 and 15. However, another phenyl ketone, 16, substituted at the a position or tertiary butyl ketone 17 failed to yield S-heterocycles. 

Another side reaction, caused by changes in the solvent composition, was studied in 1980 (in the former USSR) and, unfortunately, was also published in rather inaccessible journals [37]. The reactions of phenylmagnesium bromide with the aliphatic ketones, 2-butanone and 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone (methyl-fcrt-butyl ketone), were studied. Besides the carbonyl addition reaction, leading to a tertiary alcohol, enolization also takes place with this type of ketones. The enolate, on hydrolysis, yields the starting ketone however, before hydrolysis, in the reaction mixture of the Grignard reagent and the ketone, the enolate can react further with the ketone to form a condensation product (Scheme 16). 

Methanol, ethanol, and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) are OxHCs added to fuels to decrease tailpipe emissions of NMHCs and CO. Some alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones are emitted from biogenic sources others are also produced in the atmosphere through photochemical oxidation. The levels of some of the light OxHCs (e.g., acetaldehyde, methanol, ethanol, and acetone) are substantial. In the rural atmosphere, these can dominate the VOCs distribution (see,... 

The most important solvents to be treated are the light alcohols, ethanol, the propanols, and butanols. Other solvents are esters like ethyl and butyl acetate, ketones like acetone, butanone (MEK) or methyl isobutyl ketone, ethers like tet-rahydrofuran (THF) or methyl tertiary butyl ether, or acetonitrile, or mixtures of these solvents. The selectivity of the polymeric membranes for all components in such mixtures is high and fairly similar, multicomponent mixtures can thus...

The ketone 88 reacts with Me3SiCl and base to give the more substituted silyl enol ether 89. This has only one chiral centre and that is at the point where the lerl-butyl group joins the ring. The silyl enol ether 89 is turned into a reactive lithium enolate by the application of MeLi. This enolate then reacts with the methyl acrylate to give 90 with the stereochemistry as shown.22 If the tertiary butyl group is in the equatorial position, which is to be expected, then the new group has been installed in an axial position 90a. It is this that needs to be explained. 

The phenyl group decreases the rate. In both aldehydes and ketones, the tertiary butyl compound reacts slower than the corresponding methyl compound. The cyclohexane derivative... 

The quantum yields in the styrene ketone copolymers are highly dependent on the structure of the ketone group included in the polymer. For example, the quantum yield for the type-I process is 0.09 in MVK copolymers where the substituent on the ketone group is a methyl group, but increases to 0.45 where the substituent is tertiary butyl (30) ... 

Similar trends were observed when the same films were exposed to synchrotron and electron-beam radiation (31). The higher efficiency of the type-I reaction in these structures is attributed to the formation of more stable radicals from the tertiary butyl than from the methyl ketone. Adding an additional substituent to... 

Most commercial synthetic polymers are produced by a chain-reaction polymerization process. Some of the many initiators used are various peroxides (e.g. benzoyl peroxide, di-tertiary-butyl peroxide, cyclohexanone peroxide and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide). There are more than 65 commercially available organic peroxides in over 100 formulations. 

Numerous examples exist in which TMEDA not only facilitates the lithiation of aromatic and heteroaromatic substrates but also controls the regioselectivity of lithiation. While tertiary ben-zamides are susceptible to nucleophilic attack by n-butyllithium to give aryl butyl ketones, the use of s-ButyllithiumnMEDA in THF at —78 °C provides the synthetically useful ortho metalated tertiary benzamide which may be treated with a large variety of electrophiles (eq 4). Even with compounds having a second more acidic site the above conditions allow ortho lithiation to take place under kinetic control. Thus a p-toluamide is ortho lithiated with s-butyllithium/TMEDA in THF at —78 °C, but when Lithium Diisopropylamide is used as the base in THF at 0 °C the thermodynamically favored benzyllithium species is obtained (eq 5). The very marked influence of TMEDA on the lithiation of naphthyl methyl ether in hydrocarbon solvents is dramatically illustrated in the example in eq 6. ... 

ClSi(CH3)3 is essential use of NH4C1 quench results in large amounts of a tertiary alcohol. This route to ketones is apparently limited to methyl ketones, since reactions with butyl- or phenyllithium promoted with chlorotrimethylsilane give significant amounts of a tertiary alcohol and starting material.
