TMSP is also active for paraffin hydroxylation. Figure 63 is a summary indicating the number of turnovers of a variety of oxo transfer catalysts before catalyst decomposition (320b). When tert-butyl hydroperoxide is used as an... 

Nitrations are highly exothermic, ie, ca 126 kj/mol (30 kcal/mol). However, the heat of reaction varies with the hydrocarbon that is nitrated. The mechanism of a nitration depends on the reactants and the operating conditions. The reactions usually are either ionic or free-radical. Ionic nitrations are commonly used for aromatics many heterocycHcs hydroxyl compounds, eg, simple alcohols, glycols, glycerol, and cellulose and amines. Nitration of paraffins, cycloparaffins, and olefins frequentiy involves a free-radical reaction. Aromatic compounds and other hydrocarbons sometimes can be nitrated by free-radical reactions, but generally such reactions are less successful. 

Only 20—40% of the HNO is converted ia the reactor to nitroparaffins. The remaining HNO produces mainly nitrogen oxides (and mainly NO) and acts primarily as an oxidising agent. Conversions of HNO to nitroparaffins are up to about 20% when methane is nitrated. Conversions are, however, often ia the 36—40% range for nitrations of propane and / -butane. These differences ia HNO conversions are explained by the types of C—H bonds ia the paraffins. Only primary C—H bonds exist ia methane and ethane. In propane and / -butane, both primary and secondary C—H bonds exist. Secondary C—H bonds are considerably weaker than primary C—H bonds. The kinetics of reaction 6 (a desired reaction for production of nitroparaffins) are hence considerably higher for both propane and / -butane as compared to methane and ethane. Experimental results also iadicate for propane nitration that more 2-nitropropane [79-46-9] is produced than 1-nitropropane [108-03-2]. Obviously the hydroxyl radical attacks the secondary bonds preferentially even though there are more primary bonds than secondary bonds. 

A family of organic compounds obtained by removing one or more -H atoms from a paraffin and substituting the hydroxyl radical -OH. The best-known alcohols are ethyl alcohol (ethanol) and methyl alcohol (methanol). Glycerine is a trihydric alcohol.

To eliminate the influence of internal hydrogen bonds, nitro-paraffins and their hydroxyl derivatives have been examined in solution in carbon tetrachloride or cyclohexane. In this instance two vQH bands were observed strong bands due to free OH groups with frequencies 3774-3636 cm-1 and weak ones of bonded OH groups with frequencies 3390-3176 cm"1. 

Nitroaminocompounds of the type (II) were also examined in suspension in paraffin oil. They contain NH groups which give rise to bands with frequencies 3030 and 1610 cm1. The r correspond to NH groups bonded with hydrogen bonds. The frequencies of the nitro group are lowered in all nitro niino compounds with an exception of the compound (IIa) which does not contain hydroxyl groups. This may be accounted for by the weakness of bifurcated hydrogen bonds. 

This lamellar phase is formed of alternate sheets of lipid and water. The lipidic sheets containing the lecithin and the cholesterol are made of two superposed layers of oriented molecules. Each of these two monolayers is mixed and consists of lecithin and cholesterol molecules arranged side by side with their paraffinic ends turned toward the inside of the sheet and their polar groups (phosphatidyl choline group for lecithin and hydroxyl group for the cholesterol) outward—i.e., toward the adjacent sheet of water. This constitution of each of the two mono-layers forming the lipidic sheet is in conformity with the conclusion arising from the study of mixed monolayers of cholesterol and lecithin spread on the free surface of water (1). 

The ether extract of cane molasses yields an acidic substance with the characteristic odor of raw sugar.128 The steam distillation of molasses is stated to yield a rum oil. 129 Fractionation of cane final molasses on fuller s earth clay produces a concentrate with a strong molasses odor.70 The infrared spectra of the volatile portion of this concentrate indicated the absence of hydroxyl and carbonyl and the presence of a substituted benzene structure, of paraffinic methylene and methyl groups, of an acetate group, and of the > C=C < and —C=C— linkages. The presence of a sulfur function is probable. Further chromatography indicated complexity in this volatile concentrate.180... 

Vapor-phase nitration of paraffin hydrocarbons, particularly propane, can be brought about by uncatalyzed contact between a large excess of hydrocarbon and nitric acid vapor at around 400°C, followed by quenching. A multiplicity of nitrated and oxidized products results from nitrating propane nitromethane, nitroethane, nitropropanes, and carbon dioxide all appear, but yields of useful products are fair. Materials of construction must be very oxidation-resistant and are usually of ceramic-lined steel. The nitroparaffins have found limited use as fuels for race cars, submarines, and model airplanes. Their reduction products, the amines, and other hydroxyl compounds resulting from aldol condensations have made a great many new aliphatic syntheses possible because of their ready reactivity. 

One particular example of what may be called a gas-liquid discharge microreactor is the work of Baba et al. (2006, 2007), who have demonstrated the generation of an atmospheric pressure glow-discharge plasma in contact with liquid paraffin, using a capacitively coupled plasma method. The choice for paraffin has two reasons no hydroxyl group present (which is thought to capture electrons, as is the case in water)... 

Acidification of these nitronic acid salts may lead to a variety of products depending upon the nature and strength of the acid employed. Weak acids, such as acetic or carbonic acids, simply regenerate the nitro-paraffin. Warm, concentrated mineral acids hydrolyze the salts of primary aci-nitroparaffins to produce fatty acids and salts of hydroxyl-amine. This is in reality a reaction of the nitronic acids and occurs when the primary nitroparaffins themselves are warmed with concentrated mineral acid.17... 

Typical lubricants are fatty alcohols C]2-C22, fatty acids C14-Ci8, their esters with fatty alcohols, glycerol or pentaerythritol, amides (2) or diamides (3) and metallic soaps (see Heat stabilizers ), acids C28-C31 from montan wax and their esters, diesters of phthalic acid (4b), paraffin wax C2o-C70, PE waxes Ci25-C70o or their oxidized (polar) grades containing hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. 

The main side reactions are the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and, to a lesser extent, the oxidation of alcohol solvent Their competition with C—H hydroxylation increases with increasing buLkiness of the paraffin, becoming predominant with those having a cross-section close to or larger than the size of the pores.
