Yield overall

As seen, the overall yield in a CSTR is equal to the local yield, since the reaction is instantaneous. On the other hand, the concentration in the PFR changes along the reactor, and therefore, the yield and selectivity are also local, varying along the reactor. 

In the PFR, the concentration varies (dCA) in a volume dV, and thus, the local yield in the differential form will be according to Equation 16.17  

Substituting Equation 16.22 into overall yield Equation 16.20, we obtain the following expression for a system at constant volume (as a function of concentration)

The overall yield of the operation is 99.5 to 99.8 wt % depending on the type of finishing process employed. 

The Arndt-Eistert reaction is a comparatively simple method for converting an acid Into its next higher homologue or to a derivative of the homologous acid, such as an amide or an ester. The overall yield is generally good. The reaction... 

The desired pyridylamine was obtained in 69 % overall yield by monomethylation of 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine following a literature procedure (Scheme 4.14). First amine 4.48 was converted into formamide 4.49, through reaction with the in situ prepared mixed anhydride of acetic acid and formic acid. Reduction of 4.49 with borane dimethyl sulfide complex produced diamine 4.50. This compound could be used successfully in the Mannich reaction with 4.39, affording crude 4.51 in 92 % yield (Scheme 4.15). Analogous to 4.44, 4.51 also coordinates to copper(II) in water, as indicated by a shift of the UV-absorption maximum from 296 nm to 308 nm.

The weight of the residue, the crude bromoether 1, corresponds to an overall yield of about 90. ... 

A similar synthesis starts from commercially available 1,5-hexadiyne and 2-methyl-cyclopent-2-enone. The benzocyclobutene is obtained from a bis-acetylene in a cobalt-catalyzed reaction. It rearranges regio- and stereoselectively to a 3-deoxy steroid derivative. The overall yield from the cyclopentenone was 40% (R.L. Funk, 1977). 

The strained undecacyclic pagodane framework was obtained in a series of 14 one-pot operations with an overall yield up to 24% from commercial isodrin. The key steps are (i) a benzene-benzene [6 -I- 6]photocycloaddition, and (ii) a domino Diels-Alder reaction. 

The carbopalladation is extended to homoallylic amines and sulfides[466. Treatment of 4-dimethylamino-l-butene (518) with diethyl malonate and Li2PdCl4 in THF at room temperature leads to the oily carbopalladated complex 519, hydrogenation of which affords diethyl 4-(dimethylamino) butylmalonate (520) in an overall yield of 91%. Similarly, isopropyl 3-butenyl sulfide (521) is carbopalladated with methyl cyclopentanonecarboxylate and Li2PdCl4. Reduction of the complex affords the alkylated keto ester 522 in 96% yield. Thus functionalization of alkenes is possible by this method. 

Aconitatc was obtained as a minor product in the carbonylation of propar-gyl alcohol[479]. However, in the two-step synthesis of methyl aconitate (536) from propargyl alcohol in 70% overall yield, the first step is the oxidative carbonylation under CO and air using Pdli and KI to giNe dimethyl hydro-xymethylbutenedioate (535), which is carbonylated further to give trimethyl aconitate (536) by u.sc of [Pd(Tu)4jl2 as a catalyst[480]. 

The protected nucleoside-3-phosphoramidite monomer units such as 671 are used in the solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. In the 60mer synthesis, 104 allylic protective groups are removed in almost 100% overall yield by the single Pd-catalyze reaction with formic acid and BuNH2[432], N,(9-protection of uridine derivatives was carried out under pha.se-transfer conditions[433].

Donor substituents on the vinyl group further enhance reactivity towards electrophilic dienophiles. Equations 8.6 and 8.7 illustrate the use of such functionalized vinylpyrroles in indole synthesis[2,3]. In both of these examples, the use of acetyleneic dienophiles leads to fully aromatic products. Evidently this must occur as the result of oxidation by atmospheric oxygen. With vinylpyrrole 8.6A, adducts were also isolated from dienophiles such as methyl acrylate, dimethyl maleate, dimethyl fumarate, acrolein, acrylonitrile, maleic anhydride, W-methylmaleimide and naphthoquinone. These tetrahydroindole adducts could be aromatized with DDQ, although the overall yields were modest[3]. 

Alkyl- and arylthiazoles rearrange undernltraviolel irradiation in different solvents to yield the corresponding isothiazoles or isomeric thiazoles. With alkylthiazoles the overall yields are very low, and it is not possible to use this method preparatively. For arylthiazoles it is possible 2-arylthiazoles. for instance, can be used to prepare 3-arylisothiazoles that are otherwise very difficult to obtain. 

It is also possible to use more powerful reagents to nitrate thiazoles for example, 2-methylthiazole has been nitrated using nitronium tetrafluorobo-rate and the complex nitrogen dioxide-boron tn fluoride (240). The overall yield is about 50 to 60%. 

Yield Losses. The numerous steps incur a built-in yield loss. For example, if only 2% yield loss were to be associated with each step, the overall yield for a purification sequence of 10 steps would be as in equation 1 ... 

In the now-obsolete furfural process, furfural was decarboxylated to furan which was then hydrogenated to tetrahydrofuran (THF). Reaction of THF with hydrogen chloride produced dichlorobutene. Adiponitrile was produced by the reaction of sodium cyanide with the dichlorobutene. The overall yield from furfural to adiponitrile was around 75%. 

The acrylonitrile is distilled from the extract and the resultant residue consists of ca 91 wt % adiponitrile, which is purified further by distillation. The overall yield of acrylonitrile to adiponitrile is 92—95%. 

The Biazzi continuous process is also used. The reactants are continuously fed to a series of nitrators at 15—20°C followed by separation of the PETN, water washing, solution in acetone at 50°C, neutralization with gaseous ammonia, and precipitation by dilution with water. The overall yield is more than 95%. The acetone and the spent acid are readily recovered.

Stability and Purification of the Recombinant Protein. There are no hard and fast rules specifying, eg, whether a recombinant protein is available in a soluble state in the cell. In some cases, the expression system must be engineered by in vitro mutagenesis to optimize overall yield of the protein. 

Synthesis and Properties. Several methods have been suggested to synthesize polyimides. The predominant one involves a two-step condensation reaction between aromatic diamines and aromatic dianhydrides in polar aprotic solvents (2,3). In the first step, a soluble, linear poly(amic acid) results, which in the second step undergoes cyclodehydration, leading to an insoluble and infusible PL Overall yields are generally only 70—80%. 

The composition of the cracked gas with methane and naphtha and the plant feed and energy requirements are given in Table 9. The overall yield of acetylene based on methane is about 24% (14). A single burner with methane produces 25 t/d and with naphtha or LPG produces 30 t/d. The acetylene is purified by means of /V-methy1pyrro1idinone. 

The three steps in equation 3 are carried out in one vessel. This affords a wide variety of disilylaminoorganophosphines (8), including those with vinyl substituents (65), in yields of 40—85%. The oxidation of (8) to (9) and the reaction of (9) with alcohol (eq. 4) are carried out in a second reactor to provide the "monomer" phosphoranimines (10) in overall 30—65% yield based on starting PCl or CgH PCl2. The use of in place of Br2 in the conversion of (8) to (9) makes it possible to carry out all the reactions leading to (10) in one vessel, and this has significantly increased yields of the monomer, with overall yields up to 80% (66). 

Several variations of the above process are practiced. In the Sumitomo-Nippon Shokubai process, the effluent from the first-stage reactor containing methacrolein and methacrylic acid is fed directiy to the second-stage oxidation without isolation or purification (125,126). In this process, overall yields are maximized by optimizing selectivity to methacrolein plus methacrylic acid in the first stage. Conversion of isobutjiene or tert-huty alcohol must be high because no recycling of material is possible. In another variation, Asahi Chemical has reported the oxidative esterification of methacrolein directiy to MMA in 80% yield without isolation of the intermediate MAA (127,128).
