Naming, acid anhydrides alcohols

Jang and McDow (1997) studied the photodegradation of benzo[a]anthracene in the presence of three common constituents of atmospheric aerosols reported to accelerate benzo [a] anthracene, namely 9,10-anthroquinone, 9-xanthone, and vanillin. The photo-degradation experiments were conducted using a photochemical reactor equipped with a 450-W medium pressure mercury arc lamp and a water bath to maintain the solution temperature at 16 °C. The concentration of benzo [a] anthracene and co-solutes was 10" M. Irradiation experiments were conducted in toluene, benzene, and benzene-c/e- Products identified by GC/MS, FTIR, and NMR included benzo[a]an-thracene-7,12-dione, phthalic acid, phthalic anhydride, 1,2-benzenedicarboxaldehyde, naphtha-lene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid/anhydride, 7,12-dihydrobenzo[a]anthracene, 10-benzyl-10-hydroan-thracen-9-one, benzyl alcohol, and 1,2-diphenylethanol. 

Ethyl alcohol has been made by the hydration of ethylene (9) since 1930. Like isopropyl alcohol, part of the output is used as a solvent, but most is converted to other oxygenated chemicals. Its most important raw material use is conversion to acetaldehyde by catalytic air oxidation. Acetaldehyde, in turn, is the raw material source of acetic acid, acetic anhydride, pentaerythritol, synthetic n-butyl alcohol (via aldol condensation), butyraldehyde, and other products. Butyraldehyde is the source of butyric acid, polyvinyl butyral resin, and 2-ethylhexanol (octyl alcohol). The last-named eight-carbon alcohol is based on the aldol condensation of butyraldehyde and is used to make the important plasticizer di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate. A few examples of the important reactions of acetaldehyde are as follows ... 

Upha- Ry roxy Acid Anhydrides.—When an alpha-hydroxy acid is heated, or when it simply stands over sulphuric acid, two molecules react together as an alcohol-acid compound, in the manner described above in (3) and (4). The alcoholic hydroxyl of one molecule reacts with the acid hydroxyl of the other molecule and water is lost with the formation of a single anhydride which is really an ester. This compound then loses a second molecule of water by the reaction between the remaining alcoholic and acid hydroxyl groups forming a double anhydride or a double ester as discussed above in (6). The name of such double anhydride takes the termination ide in place of ic of the original 16... 

Some polyesters have a crosslinked structure when a polyfunctional alcohol or acid is used for the synthesis. For example, phthalic anhydride and glycerol form crosslinked polymers known as alkyds (name derived from alcohol and acids). The reaction is shown schematically below ...

Phenolphthalein. Alophen, Ex-Lax, Feen-a-Miat, Modane, and Phenolax are trade names for phenolphthaleia [77-09-8] (3,3-bis(4-hydroxyphen5l)-l-(3ff)-l isobensofuranone) (10). It is a white or faintiy yellowish white crystalline powder, odorless and stable ia air, and practically iasoluble ia water one gram is soluble ia 15 mL alcohol and 100 mL diethyl ether. Phenolphthaleia may be prepared by mixing phenol, phthaHc anhydride, and sulfuric acid, and heating at 120°C for 10—12 h. The product is extracted with boiling water, then the residue dissolved ia dilute sodium hydroxide solution, filtered, and precipitated with acid. 

Esters made from the reaction of acids (or anhydrides) with alcohols. 1-Alkanols produce linear chains, hence the L designation in plasticizer names. 

Isopulegol, Cj Hj O, does not appear to exist in essential oils, but it results from the action of acids on citronellal. The last-named body, for example, when boiled with acetic anhydride yields isopulegyl acetate, from which the alcohol is obtained by hydrolysis.

Superabsorbent polymers are now commonly made from the polymerization of acrylic acid blended with sodium hydroxide in the presence of an initiator to form a polyacrylic acid, sodium salt (sometimes referred to as cross-linked sodium polyacrylate). Some of the polymers include polyacrylamide copolymer, ethylene maleic anhydride copolymer, cross-linked carboxy-methyl-cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol copolymers, cross-linked polyethylene oxide, and starch grafted copolymer of polyacrylonitrile to name a few. The latter is one of the oldest SAP forms created. 

The cyclohexene 121, which was readily accessible from the Diels-Alder reaction of methyl hexa-3,5-dienoate and 3,4-methylenedioxy-(3-nitrostyrene (108), served as the starting point for another formal total synthesis of ( )-lycorine (1) (Scheme 11) (113). In the event dissolving metal reduction of 121 with zinc followed by reduction of the intermediate cyclic hydroxamic acid with lithium diethoxyaluminum hydride provided the secondary amine 122. Transformation of 122 to the tetracyclic lactam 123 was achieved by sequential treatment with ethyl chloroformate and Bischler-Napieralski cyclization of the resulting carbamate with phosphorus oxychloride. Since attempts to effect cleanly the direct allylic oxidation of 123 to provide an intermediate suitable for subsequent elaboration to ( )-lycorine (1) were unsuccessful, a stepwise protocol was devised. Namely, addition of phenylselenyl bromide to 123 in acetic acid followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate acetates gave a mixture of two hydroxy se-lenides. Oxidative elimination of phenylselenous acid from the minor product afforded the allylic alcohol 124, whereas the major hydroxy selenide was resistant to oxidation and elimination. When 124 was treated with a small amount of acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid in acetic acid, the main product was the rearranged acetate 67, which had been previously converted to ( )-lycorine (108). 

The other kind of acid/base catalysis is called general rather than specific and abbreviated GAC or GBC. As the name implies this kind of catalysis depends not only on pH but also on the concentration of undissociated acids and bases other than hydroxide ion. It is a milder kind of catalysis and is used in living things. The proton transfer is not complete before the rate-determining step but occurs during it. A simple example is the catalysis by acetate ion of the formation of esters from alcohols and acetic anhydride. 

Sinomenine ac/tromethine [xxvin] (initially called N-methylanhydro-sinomenine [17]) is obtained when sinomenine methiodide is heated for one minute with two equivalents of 2 per cent, aqueous sodium hydroxide. It cannot be recrystallized, even from alcohol, and is best purified through the sodium salt. The name is assigned as a result of the faint yellow halochromism of a solution of the base in concentrated sulphuric acid. Like sinomenine it gives sinomenol and dibenzoylsino-menol on heating with 66 per cent, potassium hydroxide and benzoic anhydride respectively [38]. 

Such degradations may be achieved in several ways, namely by heating the base or its quaternary salt with acetic anhydride, hydrochloric acid, or sodium ethoxide and ethyl alcohol at temperatures above 130-160° C. or by Hofmann s exhaustive methylation method. 

Esterification of starch dialdehyde with chlorosulfonic acid in formamide gave a sulfate ester that could be transformed into an amide and methyl ester.532-536 The classical method of sulfonation, namely, by the action of sulfur trioxide in pyridine, is also applicable.537,538 Hemiacetals of starch dialdehyde result upon treatment with suitable alcohols in the presence of an acidic catalyst. In acetic media amides condensed with the carbonyl groups. Acetylation of starch dialdehyde with acetic anhydride is an obvious reaction. Esters with hexanedioic (adipic) acid were also prepared.537 Starch dialdehyde undergoes etherification with monochloroacetic acid in an alkaline medium.538...
