Salt fonnation

Alcohols undergo a large number of reactions. However, these reactions may be grouped into a few general types. Reactions of alcohols may involve the O—H or C—O bonds. Ester formation and salt fonnation are examples of the former class, while conversion to halides is an example of the latter type. 

From an electrochemical viewpoint, stable pit growtli is maintained as long as tire local environment witliin tire pit keeps tire pit under active conditions. Thus, tire effective potential at tire pit base must be less anodic tlian tire passivation potential (U ) of tire metal in tire pit electrolyte. This may require tire presence of voltage-drop (IR-drop) elements. In tliis respect the most important factor appears to be tire fonnation of a salt film at tire pit base. (The salt film fonns because tire solubility limit of e.g. FeCl2 is exceeded in tire vicinity of tire dissolving surface in tlie highly Cl -concentrated electrolyte.)... 

Figure C2.12.2. Fonnation of Br0nsted acid sites in zeolites. Aqueous exchange of cation M witli an ammonium salt yields tlie ammonium fonn of tlie zeolite. Upon tliennal decomposition ammonia is released and tire proton remains as charge-balancing species. Direct ion-exchange of M witli acidic solutions is feasible for high-silica zeolites.

Whenever possible, the chemical reactions involved in the fonnation of diastereomers and their- conversion to separate enantiomers are simple acid-base reactions. For example, naturally occurring (5)-(—)-malic acid is often used to resolve fflnines. One such amine that has been resolved in this way is 1-phenylethylarnine. Amines are bases, and malic acid is an acid. Proton transfer from (5)-(—)-malic acid to a racemic mixture of (/ )- and (5)-1-phenylethylarnine gives a mixture of diastereorneric salts. 

The reaction proceeds by fonnation of the Grignaid reagent from o-bromofluorobenzene. Because the order of reactivity of magnesium with aiyl halides is Arl > ArBr > ArCl > ArF, the Grignaid reagent has the structure shown and fonns benzyne by loss of the salt FMgBr ... 

Final Intermediate The last compound synthesized before the reaction that produces the drug substance. The final step forming the drug substance must involve covalent bond formation or breakage ionic bond fonnation (i.e., making the salt of a compound) does not qualify. Consequently, when the drug substance is a salt, the precursors to the organic acid or base, rather than the acid or base itself, should be considered the final intermediate. 

The fonnation of aromatic diazonium salts from aromatic primary amines is one of the oldest synthetic procedures in organic chemistry. Methods based on nitrosation of die amine with nitrous acid in aqueous solution are the best known, but there are variants which are of particular use with weakly basic amines and for the isolation of diazonium salts from nonaqueous media. General reviews include a book by Saunders and Allen and a survey of preparative methods by Schank. There are also reviews on the diazotization of heteroaromatic primary amines and on the diazotization of weakly basic amines in strongly acidic media. The diazotization process (Scheme 11) goes by way of a primary nitrosamine.

Values of Krat 25°C for several complex ion equilibria are given in Table 11.5 in the text -> Fonnation and solubility reactions may be combined to predict the solubility of a salt in the presence of a species that forms a complex with the metal ion. 

Some functionalized thiophenes have been investigated in order to assess the scope of ylide-derived chemistry. As already mentioned, 2-(hydroxymethyl)thiophene still gives the S-ylide upon Rh lOAc) -catalyzed reaction with dimethyl diazomalonate but O/H insertion instead of ylide formation seems to have been observed by other workers (Footnote 4 in Ref. From the room temperature reaction of 2-(aminomethyl)thiophene and dimethyl diazomalonate, however, salt 271 was isolated quite unexpectedly Rh2(OAc)4, perhaps deactivated by the substrate, is useless in terms of the anticipated carbenoid reactions. Fonnation of a diazomalonic ester amide and amine-catalyzed cyclization to a 5-hydroxytriazole seem to...

A sample of this potassium salt exploded after long storage in a non-evacuated desiccator [1], This may have been caused by fonnation of some tautomeric aci-c u monoid salt by prolonged desiccation. This compound had earlier been described as exploding on percussion [2],... 

The preparation, properties and uses of ozonides have been reviewed comprehensively [1]. Many pure ozonides (trioxolanes) are generally stable to storage some may be distilled under reduced pressme. The presence of other peroxidic impmi-ties is thought to cause the violently explosive decomposition often observed in this group [2], Use of ozone is not essential for their fonnation. as they are also produced by dehydration of Q, Q -diliydroxy peroxides [3], A very few isomeric linear trioxides (ROOOR) are known, they are also explosively imstable. Inorganic ozonides, salts of the radical Os- anion, are also hazardous. 

The synthesis and decomposition of fonnates has been the subject o a number of other investigations and it has long been known that the fonnates of different metals decompose differently and that even one anc the same formate may be made to yield a variety of products undei different conditions. The salts of the alkaline earth metals have in par ticular found application in organic chemistry in connection with the preparation of formaldehyde and its higher homologs. Systematic re search in this field lias been attempted by Bredig and Carter 121 and b Hofmann in collaboration with others.122 The former investigators weri... 

Potassium and sodium salts of primar> - nitraniines react with compounds containing active chlorine, for example picryl-A -cliloride and potassium methyl-nitramine yielded tetryl [35]. An interesting application of this reaction is the fonnation of a polymer from disodium salts of dinitramines and bis-A -cliloro-methylnitramir.es [36j ...

Studies on thiamine (vitamin Bi) catalyzed fonnation of acyloins firom alqdiatic aldehydes and on thiamine or thiamine diphosphate catalyzed decarboxylation of pyruvate have established the mechanism for the catalytic activity of 1,3-thiazolium salts in carbonyl condensation reactions. In die presence of bases, quaternary thiazolium salts are transformed into die ylide structure (2), the ylide being able to exert a ca ytic effect resembling that of die cyanide ion in die benzoin condensation (Scheme 2). Like cyanide, the zwitterion (2), formed by the reaction of diiazolium salts with base, is nucleo(diilic and reacts at the carbonyl group of aldehydes. The resultant intermediate can undergo base-catalyzed proton...
