Penta ethyl benzene

Some compounds have low enough volatility and are soluble enough to be collected by absorption in a solvent. Vinyl acetate has been collected in toluene and isooctane can be used for the collection of aromatics such as ethyl benzene, styrene and pesticides. Ethylene glycol has also been used to collect pesticides. A colorimetric method was developed by Palassis for tetramethyl and ethylene thiourea. Samples were collected in impingers containing water and derivatized with penta-cyanoamineferrate to form a colored coordination complex. 

The corresponding data for ethylbenzenes are not available, but a comparison with the ethylborazoles indicates that negative deviations might be expected for tetra-, penta- and hexa-ethyl-benzenes,... 

To obtain the nonacarbonyl in a pure condition, the penta derivative is dissolved in dry ether or light petroleum, and exposed to sunlight. The resulting crystals are dried over sulphuric acid and solid paraffin. The nonacarbonyl is practically insoluble in ether, benzene, or light petroleum slightly more soluble in ethyl alcohol or acetone and more so in pyridine. Its density at 18° C. is 2 085. On warming, it decomposes at about 100° C., yielding the pentacarbonyl, free iron, and carbon monoxide. Thus —... 

Kinetic reaction rate constants increase with the number of ethyl groups alkylated on the benzene ring. For example, the relative rate constant for alkylation of EB is roughly twice that for the alkylation of benzene. Reaction rate constants continue to increase with each successive alkylation reaction until a limitation is reached, such as steric hindrance. The formation of penta-EB and hexa-EB proceeds very slowly for this and other reasons so that only trace quantities are formed. 

Solvent system Benzene-ethyl acetate-methanol (85 13.5 1.5). Proto-, copro-, and uroporphyrin are commercial (Sigma). Penta-, hexa-, and heptaporphyrin are isolated from human porphyric urine. Substituent position refers to free pigments in Fig. 17, and the abbreviations are as follows Me = -CHj, V = -CH = CHi, Ac = -CH2COOH, and Pr = -CH2CH2COOH.
