Reagent methanol

Of course, the usual equilibrium considerations apply. For example, if we add the substance methanol, equilibrium conditions will shift, consuming the added reagent (methanol) and acetic acid to produce more methyl acetate and water, in accord with Le Chatelier s Principle. Thus a large excess of methanol causes most of the acetic acid to be converted to methyl acetate. 

Reagents. Methanol. This must be free from aldehydes and ketones if necessary reflux 1L of the purest material available for 2 hours with 5 g of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and five drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Then distil the methanol through a fractionating column and collect the fraction boiling at 64.5-65.5 °C. 

Reagents. Methanol, benzene. Both of Spectrosol or equivalent purity. 

The checkers used Mallinckrodt analytical reagent methanol without drying and distilling. The sodium was added to 300 ml. of the methanol, and the remainder of the methanol was added dropwise. The results obtained in this way were the same as those described by the submitter. 

The carbonylation-homologation reaction may also be carried out on a mixture of alcohols and their formates. For instance, at a very high conversion of the reagents, methanol-methyl formate and i-butaiol -i-butyl formate produce a mixture of oxygenates particularly rich in acetates that are useful as octane improvers for gasoline (Fig. 3). 

The solvents used in this and the following preparations were purified by distillation under argon from the following reagents methanol-Mg(OCH3)2 acetone-4A molecular sieves tetrahydrofuran (THF) and t-butyl methyl ether-sodium benzophenone ketyl. 

PREPARATION OF DERIVATIZATION REAGENTS. Methanol is refluxed over magnesium turnings, and methylene chloride and n-butanol are refluxed over calcium chloride before distilling in an all-glass system. The solvents are stored in all-glass inverted top bottles.

A stock solution of potassium hydroxide in ethanol was prepared and stored under nitrogen. Old stocks are brown and contain a dark sediment, but they are apparently just as effective as the freshly prepared reagent. Methanolic potassium hydroxide has also been used by the submitters this remains clear and colorless for long periods but offers no other advantage over the ethanolic solution. In absence of the basic solution, the acetone hydrazone is not oxidized by mercuric oxide.

Reduction. With this combination of reagents, methanol and base (KOH), reduction of carboxylic acids to primary alcohols is observed. Aldehydes are hardly affected.

A polarogram of reagent-grade methanol is shown in trace a. Trace b shows reagent methanol with added 0.001 00 wt% acetone, 0.001 00 wt% acetaldehyde, and 0.001 00 wt% formaldehyde. Scales are the same in both panels. Solutions were prepared by diluting 25 mL of methanol up to 100 mL with water containing buffer and hydrazine sulfate, which reacts with carbonyl compounds to form electroactive hydrazones. An example is shown below ...

The photoaddition of alcohols to epoxides which is catalyzed by Fe203 (Fe3+ and other metal ions) [39], Scheme 14(c) functions similarly. The metal catalysis of this reaction was detected when the solvent and reagent methanol had been distilled from EDTA to remove metal ion traces and the reaction found to proceed orders of magnitude slower in the purified solvent. Photo-electron transfer from the epoxide to Fe(III) as acceptor generates an oxonium cation that is highly susceptible to nucleophilic attack by the alcohol. Since the catalysis by metal ions in this case is quite general, their functioning simply as Lewis acids cannot be excluded. 

Reagents methanol, n NaOH, 10% methanolic 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene, ethanol. 

This is a common student error. To see what s wrong, let s look elosely at the reagent. Methanol (CH3OH) is not a strong acid. Rather, it is a weak acid, because its eonjugate base, methoxide (CH30 ), is a strong base. Therefore, methoxide is not present in substantial quantities, so the mechanism in this case should not employ methoxide. Below is the correct mechanism ...
