Aliphatic and aromatic acids, simple and substituted, vary con siderably in their properties, and no one reaction for the preparation of crystalline derivatives is general. The following are recommended as most promising. 

To explain how solid acids such as Nafion-H or HZSM-5 can show remarkable catalytic activity in hydrocarbon transformations, the nature of activation at the acidie sites of such solid acids must be eon-sidered. Nafion-H contains acidic -SO3H groups in clustered pockets. In the acidic zeolite H-ZSM-5 the active Bronsted and Tewis acid sites are in close proximity (—2.5 A). 

The best procedures for 3-vinylation or 3-arylation of the indole ring involve palladium intermediates. Vinylations can be done by Heck reactions starting with 3-halo or 3-sulfonyloxyindoles. Under the standard conditions the active catalyst is a Pd(0) species which reacts with the indole by oxidative addition. A major con.sideration is the stability of the 3-halo or 3-sulfonyloxyindoles and usually an EW substituent is required on nitrogen. The range of alkenes which have been used successfully is quite broad and includes examples with both ER and EW substituents. Examples are given in Table 11.3. An alkene which has received special attention is methyl a-acetamidoacrylate which is useful for introduction of the tryptophan side-chain. This reaction will be discussed further in Chapter 13.

Disubstituted cyclohexanes present us with a challenging exercise in stereochemistry Con sider the seven possible dichlorocyclohexanes 1 1 as and trans 1 2 as and trans 1 3 and as and trans 1 4 Which are chiral Which are achiral Four isomers—the ones that are achiral be cause they have a plane of symmetry—are relatively easy to identify...

Noting that cis alkenes are intermediates in the hydrogenation of alkynes leads us to con sider the possibility of halting hydrogenation at the cis alkene stage If partial hydrogena tion of an alkyne could be achieved it would provide us with methods for preparing... 

Turning now to electrophilic aromatic substitution in (trifluoromethyl)benzene we con sider the electronic properties of a trifluoromethyl group Because of their high elec tronegativity the three fluorine atoms polarize the electron distribution m their ct bonds to carbon so that carbon bears a partial positive charge... 

To this point, the basic approximation is that the total wave function is a single Slater determinant and the resultant expression of the molecular orbitals is a linear combination of atomic orbital basis functions (MO-LCAO). In other words, an ab initio calculation can be initiated once a basis for the LCAO is chosen. Mathematically, any set of functions can be a basis for an ab initio calculation. However, there are two main th ings to be con sidered in the choice of the basis. First one desires to use the most efficient and accurate functions possible, so that the expansion (equation (49) on page 222), will require the fewest possible terms for an accurate representation of a molecular orbital. The second one is the speed of two-electron integral calculation. 

Once these features have been identified, the spectra can be interpreted in terms of the numbers of dyads, triads, tetrads, and pentads ( ) of the butadiene units and compared with predicted sequences of various lengths. Further con sideration of this system is left for Problems 4-6 at the end of the chapter...

For special applications, however, such as for normally humid areas, and contaminated or chemically aggressive locutions, epoxy paints tne con.sidered to be more appropriate. They provide a protective coating which is resistant to chemical fumes, corrosion and temperature. Chlorinated rubber paints, which also fall into the same category of protective paints, may also be used for these areas but, not being temperature resistant, are not preferred to epoxy paints. 

The recommended thickness of the total cotit (primer plus paint) will depend upon the site conditions. For a normally clean environment, a coat of up to. 50 microns is considered adequate. For a dusty or humid location requiring constant servicing and cleaning, a thicker coat, say, up to 70-cS() microns, is con.sidered to be adequate,... 

Next, let s eonsider the eiierg) eurve, the brake horsepower (BHp), ree]uired by the pump. This curve is probably the easiest to interpret because it is practically a straight line. Con.sider the following the pump consumes a certain e]uantity of energy just to maintain shut-off head. Then, as flow begins and increases, the horsepower consumption normally increases. (On certain specific duty pumps, the BHp may remain mostly flat or even fall with an increa.se in flow.) The BHp eurve is normally seen this way (Figure 7-5). 

Manufaeturer s standard eonstruetion materials will be eon-sidered. Referenees and overhaul experienee (wear amount, replaeement history, ete.) must be submitted with the proposal to be eonsidered for aeeeptanee. 

The boundary of aeeeptable design for a eomponent or assembly eharaeteristie in the zone S > 6 eorresponds fairly elosely to a failure eost line equivalent to 0.01% of the unit eost. The region of unaeeeptable design is bounded by the inter-seetion of the horizontal line of Cpi = 1 and the 1 % isoeost. A proeess is not eon-sidered eapable unless Cpi > 1 and a failure eost of less than 1 % is thought to be aeeeptable. 

Shutdowns, as well as startups, require eare and attention. Shutdown of a unit, whieh has been operating in a humid atmosphere, ean result in eon-siderable eondensation and subsequent rusting of the gears, shaft journals, and housing in a very short time. When water eontaets elean steel, it begins to eteh the steel immediately. When shutdowns in sueh eonditions are neeessary, provisions to prevent eondensation must be furnished. 

The results show that the plant reaetor falls between the plug flow and baekmixing reaetor lines. The distanee between lines (2) and (3) in Eigure 5-41 measures the degree of baekmixing. There is eon-siderable departure from the theoretieal plug flow eurve. This shows... 

Some method of pressure relief is required on all pressure vessels and for other proeess equipment where inereasing pressure might rupture the vessel. Mueh of the piping used in modern ehemieal operations also requires overpressure proteetion. Safety relief valves or rupture dises are employed for pressure relief. In many eases, either a rupture dise or a safety relief valve ean be used. Safety relief valves are usually used for proeess proteetion and rupture dises are used for vessel proteetion. The safety relief valve or rupture dise must be designed to operate at a known pressure and prevent the pressure within the system from inereasing. Therefore, it is important to eon-sider the flowrate the valve ean handle.

For conventional cyclones, it is recommended that the inlet fluid velocirv be around 10-20 tn/s and the conical angle of the cyclone be usually made smaller than 25°, If a single cyclone cannot meet the large fluid throughput required, then the use of multiple cyclones in parallel should be con.sidered. 

For turbulent fluid-indueed stresses aeting on partieles it is neeessary to eon-sider the strueture and seale of turbulenee in relation to partiele motion in the flow field. There is as yet, however, no eompletely satisfaetory theory of turbulent flow, but a great deal has been aehieved based on the theory of isotropie turbulenee (Kolmogorov, 1941).
