Note that in the compound (CH3)2Si(OH)2 the silicon atom can hold two OH groups, unlike carbon. It is this property that makes the existence of silicones possible. By variation of the compounds and conditions of hydrolysis, straight chains, rings and cross-linked polymers are obtained, for example ...

Zigmond, 1988). The ATP-hydrolysis that accompanies actin polymerization, ATP —> ADP + Pj, and the subsequent release of the cleaved phosphate (Pj) are believed to act as a clock (Pollard et ah, 1992 Allen et ah, 1996), altering in a time-dependent manner the mechanical properties of the filament and its propensity to depolymerize. Molecular dynamics simulations suggested a so-called back door mechanism for the hydrolysis reaction ATP ADP - - Pj in which ATP enters the actin from one side, ADP leaves from the same side, but Pj leaves from the opposite side, the back door (Wriggers and Schulten, 1997b). This hypothesis can explain the effect of the toxin phalloidin which blocks the exit of the putative back door pathway and, thereby, delays Pi release as observed experimentally (Dancker and Hess, 1990). 

Acid amides have weakly amphoteric properties, and thus give salts such as CjHsCONHj.HCl with strong acids, and salts of the type C HsCONHNa with strong bases. These compounds have to be prepared at low temperatures to avoid hydrolysis, and are difficult to isolate. The mercury derivatives can, however, usually be readily prepared, because mercuric oxide is too feebly basic to cause hydrolysis of the amide, and the heavy mercuric derivatives crystallise well. 

Hydrolysis by acids. Sucrose is readily hydrolysed by dilute acids. Dissolve 0 5 g. of sucrose in 5 ml. of water, add 2 ml. of dil. H2SO4 and heat in a boiling water-bath for 5 minutes. Cool and show that the solution has reducing properties, and will form glucosazone. Note that the excess of acid must be neutralised before carrying out the reduction tests. 

Physical properties. Majority are liquids except p toluidine and 1- and 2-naphthylamine. All are colourless when pure, but rapidly darken on exposure to air and light. All are very sparingly soluble in water, but dissolve readily in dilute mineral acids (except the naphthyl-amines, which are only moderately soluble in adds). They form colourless crystalline salts e.g., CjHjNH2,HCl) which are soluble in water these aqueous solutions usually have an add reaction owing to hydrolysis, and give the reactions of both the amine and the acid from which they are derived. Addition of alkali to the acid solution liberates the amine. 

Mono- and di saccharides are colourless solids or sjrrupy liquids, which are freely soluble in water, practically insoluble in ether and other organic solvents, and neutral in reaction. Polysaccharides possess similar properties, but are generally insoluble in water because of their high molecular weights. Both poly- and di-saccharides are converted into monosaccharides upon hydrolysis. 

The production of both an alcohol and the sodium salt of an acid might easily be confused with the hydrolysis products of an ester (in the above instance benzyl benzoate). Such an error would soon be discovered (e.g., by reference to the b.p. and other physical properties), but it would lead to an unnecessary expenditure of time and energy. The above example, however, emphasises the importance of conducting the class reactions of neutral oxygen-containing compounds in the proper order, viz., (1) aldehydes and ketones, (2) esters and anhydrides, (3) alcohols, and (4) ethers. 

Hydrolysis of a nitrile to an acid. Reflux 1 g. of the nitrile with 6 ml. of 30-40 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution until ammonia ceases to be evolved (2-3 hours). Dilute with 5 ml. of water and add, with coohng, 7 ml. of 50 per cent, sulphuric acid. Isolate the acid by ether extraction, and examine its solubility and other properties. 

Silcones are important products of silicon. They may be prepared by hydrolyzing a silicon organic chloride, such as dimethyl silicon chloride. Hydrolysis and condensation of various substituted chlorosilanes can be used to produce a very great number of polymeric products, or silicones, ranging from liquids to hard, glasslike solids with many useful properties. 

Efforts directed to prepare MDP2P via this method results in good yields of a ketone with properties completely dissimilar to MDP2P, and is probably the propiophenone, formed by migration of the nitro group during the hydrolysis. 

Hydrolysis of ethyl 4-methyl-2,5-thiazole dicarboxylate (9) or dicar-boxylic acid dichloride gives an excellent yield of 4-methyl-5 thiazole carboxylic acid (10) instead of the dicarboxylic acid (Scheme 6). This lability is a general Property of 2-thiazolecarboxylic acids. 

Butanediol. 1,4-Butanediol [110-63-4] tetramethylene glycol, 1,4-butylene glycol, was first prepared in 1890 by acid hydrolysis of N,]S3-dinitro-l,4-butanediamine (117). Other early preparations were by reduction of succinaldehyde (118) or succinic esters (119) and by saponification of the diacetate prepared from 1,4-dihalobutanes (120). Catalytic hydrogenation of butynediol, now the principal commercial route, was first described in 1910 (121). Other processes used for commercial manufacture are described in the section on Manufacture. Physical properties of butanediol are Hsted in Table 2. 

The reaction with sodium sulfite or bisulfite (5,11) to yield sodium-P-sulfopropionamide [19298-89-6] (C3H7N04S-Na) is very useful since it can be used as a scavenger for acrylamide monomer. The reaction proceeds very rapidly even at room temperature, and the product has low toxicity. Reactions with phosphines and phosphine oxides have been studied (12), and the products are potentially useful because of thek fire retardant properties. Reactions with sulfide and dithiocarbamates proceed readily but have no appHcations (5). However, the reaction with mercaptide ions has been used for analytical purposes (13)). Water reacts with the amide group (5) to form hydrolysis products, and other hydroxy compounds, such as alcohols and phenols, react readily to form ether compounds. Primary aUphatic alcohols are the most reactive and the reactions are compHcated by partial hydrolysis of the amide groups by any water present. 

The properties of SAN are significantly altered by water absorption (16). The equiUbrium water content increases with temperature while the time requited decreases. A large decrease in T can result. Strong aqueous bases can degrade SAN by hydrolysis of the nittile groups (17). 

Emulsion Adhesives. The most widely used emulsion-based adhesive is that based upon poly(vinyl acetate)—poly(vinyl alcohol) copolymers formed by free-radical polymerization in an emulsion system. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is typically formed by hydrolysis of the poly(vinyl acetate). The properties of the emulsion are derived from the polymer employed in the polymerization as weU as from the system used to emulsify the polymer in water. The emulsion is stabilized by a combination of a surfactant plus a coUoid protection system. The protective coUoids are similar to those used paint (qv) to stabilize latex. For poly(vinyl acetate), the protective coUoids are isolated from natural gums and ceUulosic resins (carboxymethylceUulose or hydroxyethjdceUulose). The hydroHzed polymer may also be used. The physical properties of the poly(vinyl acetate) polymer can be modified by changing the co-monomer used in the polymerization. Any material which is free-radically active and participates in an emulsion polymerization can be employed. Plasticizers (qv), tackifiers, viscosity modifiers, solvents (added to coalesce the emulsion particles), fillers, humectants, and other materials are often added to the adhesive to meet specifications for the intended appHcation. Because the presence of foam in the bond line could decrease performance of the adhesion joint, agents that control the amount of air entrapped in an adhesive bond must be added. Biocides are also necessary many of the materials that are used to stabilize poly(vinyl acetate) emulsions are natural products. Poly(vinyl acetate) adhesives known as "white glue" or "carpenter s glue" are available under a number of different trade names. AppHcations are found mosdy in the area of adhesion to paper and wood (see Vinyl polymers). 

Chemical Properties. The hydrolysis of PET is acid- or base-catalyzed and is highly temperature dependent and relatively rapid at polymer melt temperatures. Treatment for several weeks in 70°C water results in no significant fiber strength loss. However, at 100°C, approximately 20% of the PET tenacity is lost in one week and about 60% is lost in three weeks (47). In general, the hydrolysis and chemical resistance of copolyester materials is less than that for PET and depends on both the type and amount of comonomer. 

The physical and chemical properties are less well known for transition metals than for the alkaU metal fluoroborates (Table 4). Most transition-metal fluoroborates are strongly hydrated coordination compounds and are difficult to dry without decomposition. Decomposition frequently occurs during the concentration of solutions for crysta11i2ation. The stabiUty of the metal fluorides accentuates this problem. Loss of HF because of hydrolysis makes the reaction proceed even more rapidly. Even with low temperature vacuum drying to partially solve the decomposition, the dry salt readily absorbs water. The crystalline soflds are generally soluble in water, alcohols, and ketones but only poorly soluble in hydrocarbons and halocarbons. 

Cobalt difluoride [10026-17-2] C0F2, is a pink solid having a magnetic moment of 4, 266 x 10 J/T (4.6 Bohr magneton) (1) and closely resembling the ferrous (Fep2) compounds. Physical properties are Hsted in Table 1. Cobalt(II) fluoride is highly stable. No decomposition or hydrolysis has been observed in samples stored in plastic containers for over three years. 

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein. To modify functional properties, vegetable proteins such as those derived from soybean and other oil seeds can be hydrolyzed by acids or enzymes to yield hydrolyzed vegetable proteins (HVP). Hydrolysis of peptide bonds by acids or proteolytic enzymes yields lower molecular weight products useful as food flavorings. However, the protein functionaHties of these hydrolysates may be reduced over those of untreated protein. 

Deamidation of soy and other seed meal proteins by hydrolysis of the amide bond, and minimization of the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, improves functional properties of these products. For example, treatment of soy protein with dilute (0.05 A/) HCl, with or without a cation-exchange resin (Dowex 50) as a catalyst (133), with anions such as bicarbonate, phosphate, or chloride at pH 8.0 (134), or with peptide glutaminase at pH 7.0 (135), improved solubiHty, whipabiHty, water binding, and emulsifying properties. 

Fish proteia coaceatrates vary widely ia fuactioaal characteristics, ranging from those having high proteia coateat and low water solubiUty, to those having lower proteia coateats but improved water solubiUty. Attempts have beea made to improve fuactioaal properties of fish proteia by enzyme hydrolysis (141), or by modificatioa of the myofibrillar proteia by succiaylatioa (142).
