A two-step synthesis of indoles from o-nitrobenzaldehydes proceeds by condensation with nitromcthanc followed by reductive cyclization. Like the Leim-gruber Batcho method, the principal application of the reaction is to indoles with only carbocyclic substituents. The forniation of the o,p-dinitrostyrenes is usually done under classical Henry condensation conditions but KF/18-crown-6 in propanol was found to be an advantageous reaction medium for acetoxy-substituted compounds[1]. The o,p-dinitrostyrenes can also be obtained by nitration of p-nitrostyrenes[2]. 

The principal applications of the PGMs are summarized in Table 17. Table 17. Applications of the Platinum-Group Metals... 

Applications Two principal applications are rotating equipment oil coolers and compressor inter- and after-coolers. Although seemingly different applications, both rely on the shellside finning to enhance the heat transfer of low heat-transfer characteristic fluids. 

The principal applications of REELS are thin-film growth studies and gas-surface reactions in the few-monolayer regime when chemical state information is required. In its high spatial resolution mode it has been used to detect submicron metal hydride phases and to characterize surface segregation and difRision as a function of grain boundary orientation. REELS is not nearly as commonly used as AES orXPS. 

The main interest in polybut-1 -ene is in its use as a piping material, where the ability to use a lower wall thickness for a given pressure requirement than necessary with other polyolefins, together with the low density, can lead in some cases to economic use. The principal application is for small-bore cold and hot water piping (up to 95°C) for domestic plumbing. Current world-wide sales are of the order of 16-20X10 tonnes per annum. 

The principal applications of these plastics arose from their very good chemical resistance, as they are resistant to mineral acids, strong alkalis and most common solvents. They were, however, not recommended for use in conjunction with oxidising acids such as fuming nitric acid, fuming sulphuric acid or chlorosulphonic acid, with fluorine or with some chlorinated solvents, particularly at elevated temperatures. 

The principal application of melamine-formaldehyde moulding compositions is for the manufacture of tableware, largely because of their wide colour range, surface hardness and stain resistance. The stain resistance does, however, leave something to be desired and one aim of current research is to discover alternative materials superior in this respect. Cellulose-filled compositions also find a small outlet for trays, clock cases and radio cabinets and other purposes. The mineral-filled powders are used in electrical applications and knobs and handles for kitchen utensils. 

The principal applications for furan resins are in chemical plant. Specific uses include the lining of tanks and vats and piping and for alkali-resistant tile cements. The property of moisture resistance is used when paper honeycomb structures are treated with furan resins and subsequently retain a good compression strength even after exposure to damp conditions. 

Until 1950 the principal application of shellac was in gramophone records. The resin acted as a binder for about three times its weight of mineral filter, e.g. slate...

Low-carbon, low-alloy steels are in widespread use for fabrication-welded and forged-pressure vessels. The carbon content of these steels is usually below 0.2%, and the alloying elements that do not exceed 12% are nickel, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, boron and copper. The principal applications of these steels are given in Table 3.8. 

Although the principal application for 9 has been in the synthesis of cryptands (see Chap. 8), this material has also served as precursor to a number of nitrogen based lariat ethers , sometimes referred to as crown complexanes . Binding constants for such compounds have been measured for a few examples in a few cases , but... 

One of tlte principal applications of the normal distribution in reliability calculations and liazard and risk analysis is tlte distribution of lime to failure due to wearout. Suppose, for example, tliat a production lot of a certain electronic device is especially designed to withstand liigh temperatures and intense vibrations lias just come off the assembly line. A sample of 25 devices from tlie lot is tested under tlie specified heal and vibration conditions. Time to failure, in hours, is recorded for each of the 25 devices. Application of Eqs. (19.10.1) and... 

Salts are obtained by direct neutralization of the acid with appropriate oxides, hydroxides, or carbonates. Sulfamic acid is a diy, non-volatile, non-hygroscopic, colourless, white, crystalline solid of considerable stability. It melts at 205°, begins to decompose at 210°, and at 260° rapidly gives a mixture of SO2, SO3, N2, H2O, etc. It is a strong acid (dissociation constant 1.01 x 10 at 25° solubility 25gper 100g H2O) and, because of its physical form and stability, is a convenient standard for acidimetry. Over 50000 tonnes are manufactured annually and its principal applications are in formulations for metal cleaners, scale removers, detergents and stabilizers for chlorine in aqueous solution. 

Miscellaneous Niobium also finds use in satellite launch vehicles and spacecraft and one of the principal applications for niobium-base alloys is in the production of super-conducting devices. 

The principal applications of the outstanding stability of platinum and its alloys at high temperatures lie in their use as materials of construction for equipment to handle molten glass and as electrical resistance windings for high-temperature furnaces. 

The attachment of trialkoxysilane functionality to polyolefins (HDPE, LDPE, PP) though grafting of vinylsilanes (e,g. 40, 41) or silane functional acrylates (e.g. 42) has been widely studied. 63 The principal application of these materials is the... 

The principal applications of mass transfer are in the fields of distillation, gas absorption and the other separation processes involving mass transfer which are discussed in Volume 2, In particular, mass transfer coefficients and heights of transfer units in distillation, and in gas absorption are discussed in Volume 2,. In this section an account is given of some of the experimental studies of mass transfer in equipment of simple geometry, in order to provide a historical perspective. 

Neither Ca, Sr nor Ba metal has any structural integrity. The principal application of metallic Ca is as a reducing agent in the preparation of metals, such as Th and Zr. Like Mg, it can be used in the deoxidation and desulfurization of steels. Small quantities are used for alloying with Al and for the removal of Bi from Pb. Neither Sr nor Ba have any significant commercial uses. Barium is used to a limited extent as a getter to remove reactive gases from vacuum tubes.

Liquids can be extracted from solids by leaching. As the name implies, the soluble liquid contained in a solid is leached out by contacting the solid with a suitable solvent. A principal application of leaching is in the extraction of valuable oils from nuts and seeds such as, palm oil and rape seed oil.
