Phosphoric phosphorus pentoxide

Dehydration of the corresponding acid amides. This process usually requires phosphorus pentoxide (correctly termed phosphoric anhydride) as a dehydrating agent. 

The crude acetonitrile contains as impurity chiefly acetic acid, arising from the action of phosphoric acid on the acetamide. Therefore add to the nitrile about half its volume of water, and then add powdered dry potassium carbonate until the well-shaken mixture is saturated. The potassium carbonate neutralises any acetic acid present, and at the same time salts out the otherwise water-soluble nitrile as a separate upper layer. Allow to stand for 20 minutes with further occasional shaking. Now decant the mixed liquids into a separating-funnel, run off the lower carbonate layer as completely as possible, and then pour off the acetonitrile into a 25 ml, distilling-flask into which about 3-4 g. of phosphorus pentoxide have been placed immediately before. Fit a thermometer and water-condenser to the flask and distil the acetonitrile slowly, collecting the fraction of b.p. 79-82°. Yield 9 5 g. (12 ml.). 

Phosphorus pentoxide. This is an extremely efficient reagent and is rapid in its reaction. Phosphoric oxide is difficult to handle, channels badly, is expensive, and tends to form a syrupy coating on its surface after a little use. A preliminary drying with anhydrous magnesium... 

Place 45 g. of benzamide (Section IV, 188) and 80 g. of phosphorus pentoxide in a 250 ml. Claisen flask (for exact experimeutal details on the handling and weighing out of phosphoric oxide, see under Acetamide, Section 111,111). Mix well. Arrange for distillation (Fig.//, 29, 1 or Fig. II, 20, 1) under reduced pressure use a water pump with an air leak in the system so that a pressure of about 100 mm. is attained. Heat the flask with a free flame until no more liquid distils the nitrile will pass over at 126-130°/100 mm. Wash the distillate with a little sodium carbonate solution, then with water, and dry over anhydrous calcium chloride or magnesium sulphate. Distil under normal pressure (Fig. II, 13, 2 or II, 13, 6) from a 50 ml. flask the benzonitrile passes over as a colourless liquid at 188-189° (compare Section IV,66). The yield is 28 g. 

Phosphorus Pentoxide. This compound, P2O55 (Class 1, nonregenerative) is made by burning phosphoms ia dry air. It removes water first by adsorptioa, followed by the formation of several forms of phosphoric acid (2). Phosphoms peatoxide [1314-56-3] has a high vapor pressure and should only be used below 100°C. Its main drawback is that as moisture is taken up, the surface of the granules becomes wetted and further moisture removal is impeded. For this reason, phosphoms pentoxide is sometimes mixed with an iaert material (see Phosphoric acids and phosphates). 

Phenyl isothiocyanate has been prepared from thiocarbanilide by the action of phosphorus pentoxide, hydrochloric acid, iodine, phosphoric acid, acetic anhydride, and nitrous acid. It has also been prepared from ammonium phenyl dithiocarbamate by the action of ethyl chlorocarbonate, copper sulfate lead carbonate, lead nitrate, ferrous sulfate,and zinc sulfate. ... 

Phosphoric acid made by the wet process, in which phosphate rock is treated with sulfuric acid, is highly inert toward lead in any concentration for temperatures up to 150°C, However, in the dry process, where hydrogen phosphate (H3PO4) is made directly from phosphorus or phosphorus pentoxide (P2OS), a chemical reaction with lead occurs.

Phosphorus Pentoxide (Phosphoric anhydride, Phosphoric oxide, Diphosphorus pentoxide). 

Surfactants are prepared which contain carboxylic acid ester or amide chains and terminal acid groups selected from phosphoric acid, carboxymethyl, sulfuric acid, sulfonic acid, and phosphonic acid. These surfactants can be obtained by reaction of phosphoric acid or phosphorus pentoxide with polyhydroxystearic acid or polycaprolactone at 180-190°C under an inert gas. They are useful as polymerization catalysts and as dispersing agents for fuel, diesel, and paraffin oils [69]. 

A mixture of monolauryl phosphate sodium salt and triethylamine in H20 was treated with glycidol at 80°C for 8 h to give 98% lauryl 2,3-dihydro-xypropyl phosphate sodium salt [304]. Dyeing aids for polyester fibers exist of triethanolamine salts of ethoxylated phenol-styrene adduct phosphate esters [294], Fatty ethanolamide phosphate surfactant are obtained from the reaction of fatty alcohols and fatty ethanolamides with phosphorus pentoxide and neutralization of the product [295]. A double bond in the alkyl group of phosphoric acid esters alter the properties of the molecule. Diethylethanolamine salt of oleyl phosphate is effectively used as a dispersant for antimony oxide in a mixture of xylene-type solvent and water. The composition is useful as an additive for preventing functional deterioration of fluid catalytic cracking catalysts for heavy petroleum fractions. When it was allowed to stand at room temperature for 1 month it shows almost no precipitation [241]. 

Poly(phosphoric acid) was prepared by adding a 1.52/1 weight ratio of phosphorus pentoxide to 85% phosphoric acid in ice bath and then heating at 150°C for 6 hours, with stirring under nitrogen atmosphere. 

Phosphorus pentoxide reacts with moisture in the air to form phosphoric acid. WP munitions were used by U.S. military forces and their allies to mark targets and to provide smoke screen coverage for troops and equipment in combat zones. These munitions were produced primarily by the dip-fill or wet-fill method illustrated by Figure 1. The method is called dip-fill because empty munition bodies are dipped below the molten phosphorus level in an open tank until the munitions are filled with liquid phosphorus. The method is also called wet-fill because a water overlay is maintained over the liquid phosphorus (in the fill tank) to prevent spontaneous combustion of the chemical element and because the filled munition will have a slight water overlay (up to 1/8" column height allowed). 

A. Trifluoromethanesulfonic Anhydride. To a dry, 100-ml., round-bottomed flask are added 36.3 g. (0.242 mole) of trifluoromethane-sulfonic acid (Note 1) and 27.3 g. (0.192 mole) of phosphorus pentoxide (Note 2). The flask is stoppered and allowed to stand at room temperature for at least 3 hours. During this period the reaction changes from a slurry to a solid mass. The flask is fitted with a short-path distilling head and then heated first with a stream of hot air from a heat gun and then with the flame from a small burner. The flask is heated until no more trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride distills, b.p. 82-115°. The yield of the anhydride, a colorless liquid, is 28.4-31.2 g. (83-91%). Although this product is sufficiently pure for use in the next step of this preparation, the remaining acid may be removed from the anhydride by the following procedure. A slurry of 3.2 g. of phosphorous pentoxide in 31.2 g. of the crude anhydride is stirred at room temperature in a stoppered flask for 18 hours. After the reaction" flask has been fitted with a short-path distilling head, it is heated with an oil bath to distill iD.7 g. of forerun, b.p. 74—81°, followed by 27.9 g. of the pure trifluoromethanesulfonic acid anhydride, b.p. 81-84° (Note 3). 

Af-Ethyl-A-(3-halo-2-methylphenyl)aminomethylenemalonates (106, R = Et, R1 = Me, R2 = Hlg, R3 = H) were heated in polyphosphoric acid, prepared from phosphoric acid and phosphorus pentoxide, at 140°C for 40 min. The reaction mixture was then poured into water, and the product was hydrolyzed with 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide to give quinoline-3-carboxylic acids (696, R = Et, R1 = Me,R2 = Hlg) in 68-70% yields (80GEP3007006). 

Nakagome and co-workers effected the successful cyclization of N-ethyl-N-arylaminomethylenemalonates (749) in poly phosphoric acid, prepared from orthophosphoric acid and phosphorus pentoxide in polyphosphate ester (PPE), prepared from phosphorus pentoxide and anhydrous diethyl ether in chloroform in phosphoryl chloride on the action of boron trifluoride etherate on the action of acetic anhydride and concentrated sulfuric acid or on the action of phosphorus pentoxide in benzene [71GEP2033971, 71JHC357 76JAP(K) 18440]. Depending on the work-up process, l-ethyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylates (750, R1 = Et), l-ethyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids (750, R2 = H) and 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-chloroquinolinium iodides (751) were obtained. Only the cyclization of... 

The phosphate manufacturing and phosphate fertilizer industry includes the production of elemental phosphorus, various phosphorus-derived chemicals, phosphate fertilizer chemicals, and other nonfertilizer phosphate chemicals [1-30], Chemicals that are derived from phosphorus include phosphoric acid (dry process), phosphorus pentoxide, phosphorus penta-sulfide, phosphoms trichloride, phosphorus oxychloride, sodium tripolyphosphate, and calcium phosphates [8]. The nonfertilizer phosphate production part of the industry includes defluori-nated phosphate rock, defluorinated phosphoric acid, and sodium phosphate salts. The phosphate fertilizer segment of the industry produces the primary phosphorus nutrient source for the agricultural industry and for other applications of chemical fertilization. Many of these fertilizer products are toxic to aquatic life at certain levels of concentration, and many are also hazardous to human life and health when contact is made in a concentrated form. 

The hazards associated with occupational exposure to phosphoric acid depend on its acidic nature. Concentrated phosphoric acid is corrosive to exposed tissue, and lower concentrations are irritating to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Phosphoric acid has a low vapor pressure at room temperature and is unlikely to present an inhalation hazard unless introduced into the atmosphere as a spray or mist. Unacclimated workers could not endure exposure to fumes of phosphorus pentoxide (the anhydride of phosphoric acid) at a concentration of lOOmg/m exposure to concentrations between 3.6 and 11.3mg/m produced cough, whereas concentrations of...

Orthophosphoric acid and pyrophosphoric acid are preferred catalysts. Phosphorus pentoxide is catalytically active but no conclusive evidence has been described to show whether or not its activity depends on the presence of traces of water as promoter. Copper pyrophosphate and acid phosphates of cadmium are also good catalysts that the former probably owes its activity to partial conversion to acid or acidic salt under the polymerization conditions seems to be shown by the fact that there is an induction period. A composite prepared by calcining kiesel-guhr impregnated with orthophosphoric acid (the so-called solid phosphoric acid ) has found wide commercial use. 

Phosphoric acid also can be made by many different methods. Dissolution of phosphorus pentoxide in water and boiling yields phosphoric acid. Pure phosphoric acid can be obtained by burning phosphorus in a mixture of air and steam ... 

The most important reaction of phosphorus pentoxide is its hydrolysis. The hexagonal form reacts with water vigorously to form metaphosphoric acid (HPOs)n which hydrolyzes further to yield phosphoric acid, H3PO4 ... 

Several catalysts have been recommended for the N-acetylation of carbazole with acetic anhydride boron trifluoride, phosphorus pentoxide, concentrated sulfuric acid, zinc chloride, and phosphoric acid all gave 9-acetylcarbazole in moderate to good yield. 9-Acetylcarbazole can also be prepared using the Vilsmeier complex of N,N-dimethylacetamide and phosgene. ...
