Vicinal iodo carboxylates may also be prepared from the reaction of olefins either with iodine and potassium iodate in acetic acid/ or with N-iodosuccinimide and a carboxylic acid in chloroform. " A number of new procedures for effecting the hydroxylation or acyloxylation of olefins in a manner similar to the Prevost or Woodward-Prevost reactions include the following iodo acetoxylation with iodine and potassium chlorate in acetic acid followed by acetolysis with potassium acetate reaction with iV-bromoacetamide and silver acetate in acetic acid reaction with thallium(III) acetate in acetic acid and reaction with iodine tris(trifluoroacetate) in pentane. ...

Water as a Catalyst.—The presence of water has considerable influence on the course of some chemical reactions thus an alcoholic solution of potassium acetate reacts with carbon dioxide, yielding a precipitate of potassium carbonate, a result which is in striking contrast with the interaction of acetic acid and potassium carbonate in aqueous solution. Also silver nitrate and hydrogen chloride fail to react in anhydrous benzene or ether. Many such precipitation and other reactions 5 fail in the absence of ivater. 

The formation of ethyl isopropylidene cyanoacetate is an example of the Knoevenagel reaction (see Discussion before Section IV,123). With higher ketones a mixture of ammonium acetate and acetic acid is an effective catalyst the water formed is removed by azeotropic distillation with benzene. The essential step in the reaction with aqueous potassium cyanide is the addition of the cyanide ion to the p-end of the ap-double bond ... 

Ninhydrin (also named 1 2 3-triketoindane or 1 2 3-triketohydrindene hydrate) is prepared most simply from the inexpensive phthahc anhydride (I). The latter is condensed with acetic anhydride In the presence of potassium acetate to give phthalylacetlc acid (II) reaction of the latter with sodium methoxide in methanol yields 1 3-indanedionecarboxyhc acid, which is decomposed upon warming with dilute hydrochloric or sulphuric acid to indane-1 3-dione (or 1 3-diketohydrindene) (HI). Selenium dioxide oxidation of (III) afibrds indane-1 2 3-trione hydrate (ninhydrin) (IV). 

Phthalylacetic acid. Heat a mixture of 30 g. of phthalic anhydride, 40 ml. of acetic anhydride and 5 g. of potassium acetate under reflux in an oil bath at 155-165° for 15 minutes. Pour the reaction mixture into ice-cold water, collect the yellow precipitate by suction filtration, wash it three times with 25 ml. of water and once with 10 ml. of 50 per cent, ethanol. Dry the. product at 100° the yield of crude plithalylaeetie acid is 20 g. Recrystallise from hot methanol yellow needles, m.p. 245-246°, are obtained. 

If the atophan does not crystallise—this is rarely the case unless pyruvic acid which has been standing for some time is employed—pour the reaction mixture into a solution of 2a g. of potassium hydroxide in 1 litre of water, and extract the resulting solution two or three times with ether. Place the ether extracts in the ETHER RESIDUES bottle. Treat the aqueous layer with 70 ml. of glacial acetic acid with vigorous stirring. Allow to stand for several hours and collect the crude atophan by filtration with suction. 

It was claimed that the Z-form of the allylic acetate 430 was retained in homoallylic ketone 431 obtained by reaction with the potassium enolate of 3-vinylcyclopentanone (429), after treatment with triethylborane[282]. Usually this is not possible. The reaction of a (Z)-allylic chloride with an alkenylaluminum reagent to give 1,4-dienes proceeds with retention of the stereochemistry to a considerable extent when it is carried out at -70 C[283].

Chemical Properties. Trimethylpentanediol, with a primary and a secondary hydroxyl group, enters into reactions characteristic of other glycols. It reacts readily with various carboxyUc acids and diacids to form esters, diesters, and polyesters (40). Some organometaUic catalysts have proven satisfactory for these reactions, the most versatile being dibutyltin oxide. Several weak bases such as triethanolamine, potassium acetate, lithium acetate, and borax are effective as stabilizers for the glycol during synthesis (41). 

The metals are impregnated together or separately from soluble species, eg, Na2PdCl4 and HAuCl or acetates (159), and are fixed by drying or precipitation prior to reduction. In some instances sodium or potassium acetate is added as a promoter (160). The reaction of acetic acid, ethylene, and oxygen over these catalysts at ca 180°C and 618—791 kPa (75—100 psig) results in the formation of vinyl acetate with 92—94% selectivity the only other... 

A variety of shale-protective muds are available which contain high levels of potassium ions (10). The reaction of potassium ions with clay, well known to soil scientists, results in potassium fixation and formation of a less water-sensitive clay. Potassium chloride, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate [584-08-7] (99), tetrapotassium pyrophosphate [7320-34-5] (100), and possibly the potassium salts of organic acids, such as potassium acetate [127-08-2] (101) and formate, have all been used as the potassium source. Potassium chloride is generally preferred because of its low cost and availabihty. 

Benzal chloride is hydrolyzed to benzaldehyde under both acid and alkaline conditions. Typical conditions include reaction with steam in the presence of ferric chloride or a zinc phosphate catalyst (22) and reaction at 100°C with water containing an organic amine (23). Cinnamic acid in low yield is formed by heating benzal chloride and potassium acetate with an amine as catalyst (24).
