Sodium salts effect

It is frequently advisable in the routine examination of an ester, and before any derivatives are considered, to determine the saponification equivalent of the ester. In order to ensure that complete hydrolysis takes place in a comparatively short time, the quantitative saponi fication is conducted with a standardised alcoholic solution of caustic alkali—preferably potassium hydroxide since the potassium salts of organic acids are usuaUy more soluble than the sodium salts. A knowledge of the b.p. and the saponification equivalent of the unknown ester would provide the basis for a fairly accurate approximation of the size of the ester molecule. It must, however, be borne in mind that certain structures may effect the values of the equivalent thus aliphatic halo genated esters may consume alkali because of hydrolysis of part of the halogen during the determination, nitro esters may be reduced by the alkaline hydrolysis medium, etc. 

The alternative synthetic route using the sodium salt of benzyl alcohol and an isopropyl halide would be much less effective because of increased competition from elimination as the alkyl halide becomes more sterically hindered... 

Propionates. Propionic acid [79-09-4], C2H 02, and its calcium and sodium salts ate effective mold inhibitors. They ate particularly useful in yeast-leavened baked products because they do not affect the activity of yeast. In addition to being widely used in baked goods, they ate used as mold inhibitors in cheese foods and spreads (77). 

Health and Safety Factors. MSA is a strong toxic acid and is corrosive to skin. The acute oral toxicity of the sodium salt in mice LD q is 6.2 g/kg. The 1976 edition of the NIOSH Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances Hsts certain reaction products of MSA as having suspected mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic activity (410). 

Hand in hand with this research on finding a suitable carboxyUc acid chemical for cross-linker has been the search for an economical catalyst system. The catalyst found to be most effective for the esterification reaction was sodium hypophosphite (NaH2P02). This material was also costiy and out of range for the textile industry. Because weak bases function as catalyst, a range of bases has been explored, including the sodium salts of acids such as malic acid. 

Because of hydrate formation, the sodium salts tend to be difficult to dry. Excess water over that of hydration is beheved to accelerate the decomposition of the xanthate salts. The effect of heat on the dryiag of sodium ethyl xanthate at 50°C has been studied (84) ... 

Both Watts and sulfamate baths are used for engineering appHcation. The principal difference in the deposits is in the much lower internal stress obtained, without additives, from the sulfamate solution. Tensile stress can be reduced through zero to a high compressive stress with the addition of proprietary sulfur-bearing organic chemicals which may also contain saccharin or the sodium salt of naphthalene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid. These materials can be very effective in small amounts, and difficult to remove if overadded, eg, about 100 mg/L of saccharin reduced stress of a Watts bath from 240 MPa (34,800 psi) tensile to about 10 MPa (1450 psi) compressive. Internal stress value vary with many factors (22,71) and numbers should only be compared when derived under the same conditions.

For high diazomethane concentrations, the Sn2 reaction, Eq. (7), and thus A—methylation occurs, whereas 0-methylation is favored by lower diazomethane concentrations, Eq, (6) (for an interpretation of this effect, according to Arndt, see references 33 and 42). The extent of this effect is limited by the constitution of the lactam in question. The fact that the addition of the sodium salt of saccharin to the reaction mixture leads to increased A -mcthylation for saccharin can be taken as supporting the foregoing interpretation. 

Kobayashi et al. have reported the use of a chiral lanthanide(III) catalyst for the Diels-Alder reaction [51] (Scheme 1.63, Table 1.26). Catalyst 33 was prepared from bi-naphthol, lanthanide triflate, and ds-l,2,6-trimethylpiperidine (Scheme 1.62). When the chiral catalyst prepared from ytterbium triflate (Yb(OTf)3) and the lithium or sodium salt of binaphthol was used, less than 10% ee was obtained, so the amine exerts a great effect on the enantioselectivity. After extensive screening of amines, ds-1,2,6-... 

Inclusion of fluorine on the pendant aromatic ring and the basic side chain seems to emphasize the anticonvulsant and hypnotic effects of this class of drugs. Thus alkylation of the benzodiazepinone, 24 (prepared from the corresponding substituted aminobenzophenone), with 2-chlorotriethylamine via its sodium salt affords fluazepam. ...

Dissolved mineral salts The principal ions found in water are calcium, magnesium, sodium, bicarbonate, sulphate, chloride and nitrate. A few parts per million of iron or manganese may sometimes be present and there may be traces of potassium salts, whose behaviour is very similar to that of sodium salts. From the corrosion point of view the small quantities of other acid radicals present, e.g. nitrite, phosphate, iodide, bromide and fluoride, have little significance. Larger concentrations of some of these ions, notably nitrite and phosphate, may act as corrosion inhibitors, but the small quantities present in natural waters will have little effect. Some of the minor constituents have other beneficial or harmful effects, e.g. there is an optimum concentration of fluoride for control of dental caries and very low iodide or high nitrate concentrations are objectionable on medical grounds.
