Saturated and unsaturated

Alkylation combines lower-molecular-weight saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkanes and alkenes) to produce high-octane gasoline and other hydrocarbon products. Conventional paraffin-olefin (alkane-alkene) alkylation is an acid-catalyzed reaction, such as combining isobutylene and isobutane to isooctane.

There is a significant difference in the toxicological effects of saturated and unsaturated afiphatic aldehydes. As can be seen in Table 6, the presence of the double bond considerably enhances toxicity. The precautions for handling reactive unsaturated aldehydes such as acrolein, methacrolein [78-85-3] and crotonaldehyde should be the same as those for handling other highly active eye and pulmonary irritants, as, for example, phosgene. 

This form of Darcy s law is appHcable only to saturated flow. As discussed earlier, there are distinctions between the state of soil water in the saturated and unsaturated regions. These distinctions lead to an alternative form of Darcy s law for the case of unsaturated flow (2,5). 

A particularly useful reaction has been the selective 1,2-reduction of a, P-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to aHyUc alcohols, accompHshed by NaBH ia the presence of lanthanide haUdes, especially cerium chloride. Initially appHed to ketones (33), it has been broadened to aldehydes (34) and acid chlorides (35). NaBH by itself gives mixtures of the saturated and unsaturated alcohols. 

Other commonly occurring chemical groups ia essential oils iaclude aromatics such as P-phenethyl alcohol, eugenol, vanillin, ben2aldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, etc heterocycHcs such as iadole (qv), pyra2iaes, thia2oles, etc hydrocarbons (Liaear, branched, saturated, or unsaturated) oxygenated compounds such as alcohols, acids, aldehydes, ketones, ethers and macrocyclic compounds such as the macrocyclic musks, which can be both saturated and unsaturated. 

Some of the newer compounds may contain both saturated and unsaturated rings, heteroatoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur, and halogen substituents. Others, such as synthetic pyrethroids, may have one or more chiral centers, often needing stereospecific methods of synthesis or resolution of isomers (42). Table 4 Hsts examples of some more complex compounds. Stmctures are shown ia Eigure 1 (25). 

Carboxylate soaps are most commonly formed through either direct or indirect reaction of aqueous caustic soda, ie, alkaH earth metal hydroxides such as NaOH, with fats and oils from natural sources, ie, triglycerides. Fats and oils are typically composed of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acid molecules containing between 8 and 20 carbons randomly linked through ester bonds to a glycerol [56-81-5] backbone. Overall, the reaction of caustic with triglyceride yields glycerol (qv) and soap in a reaction known as saponification. The reaction is shown in equation 1. 

End Groups and Branching. Both saturated and unsaturated end groups can be formed during polymerization by chain transfer to monomer or polymer and by disproportionation. Some of the possible chain end groups are... 

Unsaturation in a fatty acid increases its solubihty in organic solvents, and the differences in solubiHties between saturated and unsaturated acids can be used to separate these acids (Table 9). 

Hexachloroethane [67-72-17, perchloroethane, CCl CCl, is a white crystalline soHd with a camphorlike odor. Hexachloroethane is nonflammable and has a number of minor industrial uses which are limited because of its toxic nature. Crystalline hexachloroethane is a minor product in many industrial chlorination processes of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. 

In reality all earbon atoms share equally the pool of eleetrons whieh eonstitute the double bonds and benzene resists addition aeross the double bonds whieh would otherwise destroy its unique strueture and stability. Single or multiple hydrogen atoms ean be substituted to form a host of derivatives eontaining similar funetional groups to those above, e.g. saturated and unsaturated aliphatie ehains, amino, earboxylie aeidie, halogeno, nitro, and sulphonie aeid groups as shown in Table 3.6. 

The above discussions have concentrated on hydrocarbons, both saturated and unsaturated, with the unsaturated hydrocarbons containing only one multiple bond. The unsaturated hydrocarbons are the alkenes with one double bond and the alkynes... 

Hydroxy steroids afford 18,20-lactones in 48-74 % yield in the presence of other substituents such as acetates, ketals and saturated and unsaturated ketones. However only a 24% yield is reported in the presence of an 11-ketone . Tertiary 20-hydroxy-20-methyl pregnanes still give 18,20-lactones in 45% yield although a competitive cleavage of the 17,20-bond is also observed. 

Figure 7-2 indicates that this intramolecular assistance takes place with those compounds having substituents to the right of X = OMe = —0.78), for in this portion of the a scale compounds 8 solvolyze more rapidly than do 7. At the X = OMe member, however, the two series have essentially identical reactivities, and this behavior continues at more negative cr. It. therefore, appears that intramolecular participation by the double bond occurs when it is needed when the X substituent is sufficiently electron-donating to stabilize the cation, intramolecular assistance is not needed, so it does not occur, and the saturated and unsaturated series show the same reactivity. 

The analyses of gases in the oil industry comprises the determination of the inert gases (He, Hj, O2, Ar and N2), low-boiling compounds (CO, CO2, H2S, COS) and the lower hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated, up to hexane. Some special samples. Such as natural gas, have to be analysed for low concentrations of higher-boiling compounds (up to CiqS) since such compounds have an important influence on the calorific value and dew point. 

Fatty acids, both saturated and unsaturated, have found a variety of applications. Brassilic acid (1,11-un-decanedicarboxylic acid [BA]), an important monomer used in many polymer applications, is prepared from erucic acid (Scheme 2), obtained from rapeseed and crambe abyssinica oils by ozonolysis and oxidative cleavage [127]. For example, an oligomer of BA with 1,3-butane diol-lauric acid system is an effective plasticizer for polyvinylchloride. Polyester-based polyurethane elastomers are prepared from BA by condensing with ethylene glycol-propylene glycol. Polyamides based on BA are known to impart moisture resistance. 

In the moving bed processes, the preheated feed meets the hot catalyst, which is in the form of beads that descend by gravity to the regeneration zone. As in fluidized bed cracking, conversion of aromatics is low, and a mixture of saturated and unsaturated light hydrocarbon gases is produced. The gasoline product is also rich in aromatics and branched paraffins. 

Compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon are called hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons that have only single bonds all have similar chemistry and they are called, as a family, the saturated hydrocarbons. If there are carbon-carbon double bonds, the reactivity is much enhanced. Hence hydrocarbons containing one or more double bonds are named as a distinct family, unsaturated hydrocarbons. Both saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons can occur in chain-like structures or in cyclic structures. Each of these families will be considered. 

Thermolysis of m-PtH(CH2CMe3)(cy2PC2H2Pcy2) at 45-80°C yields a bent platinum(0) complex (Figure 3.13) that is intensely reactive to a whole range of unactivated C—H bonds in saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. 

A convenient route to both saturated and unsaturated acylsilanes lies in the hydroboration-oxidation of alkynylsilanes (Chapter 7). Recent improvements (6) to this method involve the use of the borane-dimethyl sulphide complex for hydroboration, and of anhydrous trimethylamine A-oxide for the oxidation of the intermediate vinyl boranes. 

To date, all saturated and unsaturated three- and larger-membered ring sulfones and sulfoxides (e.g., thiirane (3), thiirene (4), thietane (5), thiete (6), dithietane (7), thiolane (8), thiolene (9), thiane (10), thiene (11), dithiane (12), thiepane (13), thiocane (14), and their unsaturated analogues as well as isomers and closely-related systems) have been synthesized and their chemistry well-established.
