Ethylamine, monoethylamine, CH3CH2NH2-B.p. 19 C. Prepared by reduction of acetonitrile or by heating ethyl chloride with alcoholic ammonia under pressure. It is a strong base and will displace ammonia from ammonium salts. Forms a crystalline hydrochloride and also crystalline compounds with various metallic chlorides. 

It is prepared commercially by treating benzene diazonium chloride with sodium sulphite and then reducing the mixture with zinc dust and ethanoic acid. It can also be prepared by reduction of benzene diazonium chloride with SnCl. ... 

Treatment with PCI5 gives phthalyl chloride reduction with zinc and ethanoic acid or NaOH gives phthalide. Fusion with urea gives phthalimide. 

It is quite clear, first of all, that since emulsions present a large interfacial area, any reduction in interfacial tension must reduce the driving force toward coalescence and should promote stability. We have here, then, a simple thermodynamic basis for the role of emulsifying agents. Harkins [17] mentions, as an example, the case of the system paraffin oil-water. With pure liquids, the inter-facial tension was 41 dyn/cm, and this was reduced to 31 dyn/cm on making the aqueous phase 0.00 IM in oleic acid, under which conditions a reasonably stable emulsion could be formed. On neutralization by 0.001 M sodium hydroxide, the interfacial tension fell to 7.2 dyn/cm, and if also made O.OOIM in sodium chloride, it became less than 0.01 dyn/cm. With olive oil in place of the paraffin oil, the final interfacial tension was 0.002 dyn/cm. These last systems emulsified spontaneously—that is, on combining the oil and water phases, no agitation was needed for emulsification to occur.

Similar graphs can be plotted for the reduction of any metal oxide and also for the reduction of chloride and sulphide ores. 

Thus potassium is obtained by heating potassium chloride with sodium, and barium by reduction of barium oxide with aluminium. 

Most chlorine-containing compounds can be converted to give chloride ions, for example covalent chlorides by hydrolysis, chlorates by reduction. The chloride ion is then tested for thus ... 

By the reduction of copper(II) chloride or a mixed solution of copper(II) sulphate and common salt by sulphur dioxide. 

Mannitol, CH,0H(CH0Hi4CH40H, is a hexahydric alcohol obtained by the reduction of mannose. Since ring formation does not occur in mannitol, the hexacetyl derivative can exist in only one form, and therefore either zinc chloride or sodium acetate can be used as a catalyst for the acetylation. 

Benzenediazonium chloride reacts in solution with sodium sulphite to give benzenediazonium sodium sulphonate, which when treated with sulphurous acid undergoes reduction to phenylhydrazine sodium sulphonate. The latter readily hydrolyses in the presence of concentrated hydrochloric acid to give... 

Benzenediazonium chloride also undergoes direct reduction to phenylhydrazine... 

Mercuric chloride test. Add mercuric chloride solution to formic acid or a solution of formate and w arm. A white precipitate of mercurous chloride, insoluble in dil. HCl, is produced. Sometimes the reduction proceeds as far as metallic mercury, which appears as a grey precipitate. 

A) Benzoyl Derivative. Since acetylation and benzoylation do not always proceed smoothly with nitrophenols, it is best to reduce them to the aminophenol as in (3) above. Add an excess of 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide to the reaction mixture after reduction, cool and then add a small excess of benzoyl chloride, and shake in the usual way. The dibenzoyl derivative wiU separate. Filter, wash with water and recrystalUse. (M.ps., p. 551.)... 

Metallic sodium. This metal is employed for the drying of ethers and of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons. The bulk of the water should first be removed from the liquid or solution by a preliminary drying with anhydrous calcium chloride or magnesium sulphate. Sodium is most effective in the form of fine wire, which is forced directly into the liquid by means of a sodium press (see under Ether, Section II,47,i) a large surface is thus presented to the liquid. It cannot be used for any compound with which it reacts or which is affected by alkalis or is easily subject to reduction (due to the hydrogen evolved during the dehydration), viz., alcohols, acids, esters, organic halides, ketones, aldehydes, and some amines. 

Methylene chloride CHjCl, b.p. 41°, is obtained as a by product in the com mercial preparation of chloroform by the reduction of carbon tetrachloride with moist iron and also as one of the products in the chlorination of methane it is a useful extraction solvent completely immiscible with water.
