Other Carbonates

These salts are insoluble in water. They have many industrial applications marble, limestone, chalk (calcium carbonate), lire bricks, thermal insulation (magnesium carbonate). They are also used in toothpaste.

They have no action on aluminium, whatever their concentration and temperature. Toothpaste is sold in flexible aluminium tubes. Magnesium carbonate is stored in silos with trays in 5754 and 3003.

This is a relatively rare structure, diamond being probably the best known example. Here, the carbon atoms are not close-packed. Each carbon is surrounded tetrahedrally by four other carbon atoms (Figure 2.1). Clearly, each carbon is exerting a tetrahedrally directed... 

These numbers carry other chemical information. For example, z - h = x gives the oxidation state of a carbon atom. In effect, each carbon atom is classified according to its oxidation state, x, and its attachment to other carbon atoms. 

Carbon can also form multiple bonds with other carbon atoms. This results in unsaturated hydrocarbons such as olefins (alkenes), containing a carbon-carbon double bond, or acetylenes (alkynes), containing a carbon-carbon triple bond. Dienes and polyenes contain two or more unsaturated bonds. 

Formation of ketones. Ketones can be prepared by the carbonylation of halides and pseudo-halides in the presence of various organometallic compounds of Zn, B, Al, Sn, Si, and Hg, and other carbon nucleophiles, which attack acylpalladium intermediates (transmetallation and reductive elimination). 

Carbon atoms are classified according to their degree of substitution by other car bons A primary carbon is directly attached to one other carbon Similarly a secondary carbon is directly attached to two other carbons a tertiary carbon to three and a qua ternary carbon to four Alkyl groups are designated as primary secondary or tertiary according to the degree of substitution of the carbon at the potential point of attachment...

As a class of compounds, the two main toxicity concerns for nitriles are acute lethality and osteolathyrsm. A comprehensive review of the toxicity of nitriles, including detailed discussion of biochemical mechanisms of toxicity and stmcture-activity relationships, is available (12). Nitriles vary broadly in their abiUty to cause acute lethaUty and subde differences in stmcture can greatly affect toxic potency. The biochemical basis of their acute toxicity is related to their metaboHsm in the body. Following exposure and absorption, nitriles are metabolized by cytochrome p450 enzymes in the Hver. The metaboHsm involves initial hydrogen abstraction resulting in the formation of a carbon radical, followed by hydroxylation of the carbon radical. MetaboHsm at the carbon atom adjacent (alpha) to the cyano group would yield a cyanohydrin metaboHte, which decomposes readily in the body to produce cyanide. Hydroxylation at other carbon positions in the nitrile does not result in cyanide release. 

Plastics. The fastest-growing use of whiting (microcarbonate fillers) is in the plastics industry where dry, pulverized limestone is used intensively for most types of plastics. Other carbonate fillers, precipitated calcium carbonate, oyster sheU, marble, and wet-ground limestone, are also used. 

Cyclopentadienyltitanium Compounds with Other Carbon Titanium Links. Cyclopentadienyltitanium trichloride and, particularly, CpgTiClg react with RLi or with RAl compounds to form one or more R—Ti bonds. As noted, the Cp groups stabilize the Ti—R bond considerably against thermal decomposition, although the sensitivity to air and moisture remains. Depending on the temperature, mole ratio, and stmcture of R, reduction of Ti(IV) may be a serious side reaction, which often has preparative value for Cp Ti(Ill) compounds (268,274,275).

Trialkylacetic acids have been produced commercially siace the early 1960s, ia the United States by Exxon and ia Europe by Shell, and have been marketed as neo acids (Exxon) or as Versatic Acids (Shell). The principal commercial products are the acid and the C q acid (neodecanoic acid, or Versatic 10), although smaller quantities of other carbon numbers, such as C, C, and C, are also produced. 

Carbon black from oil is the main competition for the product from coal, which is used in filters. Carbon for electrodes is primarily made from petroleum coke, although pitch coke is used in Germany for this product. The pitch binder used for electrodes and other carbon products is almost always a selected coal tar pitch. 

Other carbon electrophiles which are frequently employed include aldehydes, ketones, esters, nitriles and amides of the type RCONMei. An indirect method of acylation involves the initial reaction of a lithio compound with an aldehyde followed by oxidation of the resulting secondary alcohol to the corresponding acyl derivative.
