Propan acid

Nitrating propane produces a complex mixture of nitro compounds ranging from nitromethane to nitropropanes. The presence of lower nitroparaffins is attributed to carbon-carbon bond fission occurring at the temperature used. Temperatures and pressures are in the range of 390°-440°C and 100-125 psig, respectively. Increasing the mole ratio of propane to nitric acid increases the yield of nitropropanes. Typical product composition for 25 1 propane/acid ratio is ...

The simpler nitrop>arafIins (nitromethane, nitroethane, 1- and 2-nitroproj)ane) are now cheap commercial products. They are obtained by the vapour phase nitration of the hydrocarbons a gaseous mixture of two mols of hydrocarbon and 1 mol of nitric acid vapour is passed through a narrow reaction tube at 420-476°. Thus with methane at 476° a 13 per cent, conversion into nitro methane is obtained ethane at 420° gives a 9 1 mixture of nitroethane (b.p. 114°) and nitromethane (b.p. 102°) propane at 420° afifords a 21 per cent, yield of a complex mixture of 1- (b.p. 130-6°) and 2-nitropropane (b.p. 120°), nitroethane and nitromethane, which are separated by fractional distillation. 

Ethyl cyctopropane-carboxylate. Use 22 g. of cyciopropane-carb-oxyhc acid (Section V,33) and 40 g. (24-5 ml.) of redistiUed thionyl chloride to prepare the acid chloride, b.p. 118-119° (22 g.). Treat the latter with 10-1 g. of absolute ethyl alcohol. The yield of ethyl cyclo-propane-carboxylate, b.p. 132-133°, is 13 g. 

The addition of active methylene compounds (ethyl malonate, ethyl aoeto-acetate, ethyl plienylacetate, nltromethane, acrylonitrile, etc.) to the aP-double bond of a conjugated unsaturated ketone, ester or nitrile In the presence of a basic catalyst (sodium ethoxide, piperidine, diethylamiiie, etc.) is known as the Michael reaction or Michael addition. The reaction may be illustrated by the addition of ethyl malonate to ethyl fumarate in the presence of sodium ethoxide hydrolysis and decarboxylation of the addendum (ethyl propane-1 1 2 3-tetracarboxylate) yields trlcarballylic acid ... 

In the above reaction one molecular proportion of sodium ethoxide is employed this is Michael s original method for conducting the reaction, which is reversible and particularly so under these conditions, and in certain circumstances may lead to apparently abnormal results. With smaller amounts of sodium alkoxide (1/5 mol or so the so-called catal3rtic method) or in the presence of secondary amines, the equilibrium is usually more on the side of the adduct, and good yields of adducts are frequently obtained. An example of the Michael addition of the latter type is to be found in the formation of ethyl propane-1 1 3 3 tetracarboxylate (II) from formaldehyde and ethyl malonate in the presence of diethylamine. Ethyl methylene-malonate (I) is formed intermediately by the simple Knoevenagel reaction and this Is followed by the Michael addition. Acid hydrolysis of (II) gives glutaric acid (III). 

Tricarballylic acid. Place 228 g. (204 ml.) of ethyl propane-1 1 2 3-tetracarboxylate and 240 ml. of 1 1 hydrochloric acid in a 1-litre threenecked flask, fitted with a mechanical stirrer and a fractionating column with condenser set for downward distillation attach a receiver with side tube to the condenser and connect the side tube to a wash bottle containing water. Boil the mixture, with continual stirring, at such a rate that the... 

Although turnover of the catalyst is low, even unreactive cyclohexane[526] and its derivatives are oxidatively carbonylated to cyclohexanecarboxylic acid using KiS Og as a reoxidant in 565% yield based on Pd(II)[527]. Similarly, methane and propane are converted into acetic acid in 1520% yield based on Pd(II) and butyric acid in 5500% yield [528],...

It IS hard to find a class of compounds in which the common names of its members have influenced organic nomenclature more than carboxylic acids Not only are the common names of carboxylic acids themselves abundant and widely used but the names of many other compounds are derived from them Benzene took its name from benzoic acid and propane from propionic acid not the other way around The name butane comes from butyric acid present m rancid butter The common names of most aldehydes are derived from the common names of carboxylic acids—valeraldehyde from valeric acid for exam pie Many carboxylic acids are better known by common names than by their systematic ones and the framers of the lUPAC rules have taken a liberal view toward accepting these common names as permissible alternatives to the systematic ones Table 19 1 lists both common and systematic names for a number of important carboxylic acids... 

As an example of the quantitative testing of Eq. (5.47), consider the polymerization of diethylene glycol (BB) with adipic acid (AA) in the presence of 1,2,3-propane tricarboxylic acid (A3). The critical value of the branching coefficient is 0.50 for this system by Eq. (5.46). For an experiment in which r = 0.800 and p = 0.375, p = 0.953 by Eq. (5.47). The critical extent of reaction, determined by titration, in the polymerizing mixture at the point where bubbles fail to rise through it was found experimentally to be 0.9907. Calculating back from Eq. (5.45), the experimental value of p, is consistent with the value =0.578.

Hydrogenation gives aUyl alcohol [107-18-6] C H O, its isomer propanal [123-38-6] (20), or propanol, C H O [71-23-8] (21). With acidic mercuric salt catalysts, water adds to give acetol, hydroxyacetone, C2H 02 [116-09-6] (22). 

Tertiary, benzyl, and aHyhc nitro compounds can also be used as Friedel-Crafts alkylating agents eg, reaction of (CH2)3CN02 (2-nitro-2-methyl propane [594-70-7]) with anisole in the presence of SnCl gives 4-/-butylanisole [5396-38-3] (7). SoHd acids, such as perfluorodecanesulfonic acid [335-77-3], and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid [1763-23-1] have been used as catalysts for regio-selective alkylations (8). 

Carbocations generated from alkanes using superacids react with carbon monoxide under mild conditions to form carboxyUc acid (188). In this process isomeric carboxyUc acids are produced as a mixture. However, when the reaction is mn with catalytic amounts of bromine (0.3 mmol eq) in HF-SbF solution, regio-selective carboxylation is obtained. / -Propane was converted almost exclusively to isobutyric acid under these conditions.
