Solvent ethers used

CH3.O-CH2.CH2-O.CH2-CHj-O.CH3. Dimethyl ether of diethylene glycol. A colour-less liquid b.p. 160 C. Typical ether, useful as a high-temperature solvent. 

CH3 CH0H CH20H, a colourless, almost odourless liquid. It has a sweet taste, but is more acrid than ethylene glycol b.p. 187. Manufactured by heating propylene chlorohydrin with a solution of NaHCO under pressure. It closely resembles dihydroxyethane in its properties, but is less toxic. Forms mono-and di-esters and ethers. Used as an anti-freeze and in the preparation of perfumes and flavouring extracts, as a solvent and in... 

Solubility in ether. Use 0 -10 g. of solid or 0 -20 ml. of a liquid in a dry test-tube and proceed exactly as in testing the solubility in water, but do not employ more than 3 0 ml. of solvent. 

Cesium isotopes can be recovered from fission products by digestion in nitric acid, and after filtration of waste the radioactive cesium phosphotungstate is precipitated using phosphotungstic acid. This technique can be used to prepare radioactive cesium metal or compounds. Various processes for removal of Cs isotopes from radioactive waste have been developed including solvent extraction using macrocycHc polyethers (62) or crown ethers (63) and coprecipitation with sodium tetraphenylboron (64). 

Commercially, anionic polymerization is limited to three monomers styrene, butadiene, and isoprene [78-79-5], therefore only two useful A—B—A block copolymers, S—B—S and S—I—S, can be produced direcdy. In both cases, the elastomer segments contain double bonds which are reactive and limit the stabhity of the product. To improve stabhity, the polybutadiene mid-segment can be polymerized as a random mixture of two stmctural forms, the 1,4 and 1,2 isomers, by addition of an inert polar material to the polymerization solvent ethers and amines have been suggested for this purpose (46). Upon hydrogenation, these isomers give a copolymer of ethylene and butylene. 

For use in anesthesia the USP (22) also recognizes slightly less pure grades ethyl oxide (solvent ether), ether abs, and reagent-grade ether. 

The common impurities found in amines are nitro compounds (if prepared by reduction), the corresponding halides (if prepared from them) and the corresponding carbamate salts. Amines are dissolved in aqueous acid, the pH of the solution being at least three units below the pKg value of the base to ensure almost complete formation of the cation. They are extracted with diethyl ether to remove neutral impurities and to decompose the carbamate salts. The solution is then made strongly alkaline and the amines that separate are extracted into a suitable solvent (ether or toluene) or steam distilled. The latter process removes coloured impurities. Note that chloroform cannot be used as a solvent for primary amines because, in the presence of alkali, poisonous carbylamines (isocyanides) are formed. However, chloroform is a useful solvent for the extraction of heterocyclic bases. In this case it has the added advantage that while the extract is being freed from the chloroform most of the moisture is removed with the solvent. 

Samples for studies of CDx effects on fluorescence enhancement in organic solution were prepared using pyrene, because pyrene possesses a long lifetime and is very susceptible to quenching and enhancement in solution (23). An aliquot of pyrene stock solution in cyclohexane was placed under a nitrogen purge to evaporate the cyclohexane. Samples were redissolved in a 1 A mixture of Isopropyl ether and 1-butanol, which was saturated with aqueous CDx solution. Pyrene samples were also prepared in which the organic solvent was not saturated with CDx solution. The mixed solvent was used in order to minimize the effects of ether evaporation and thus allow more accurate quantitation. Fluorescence measurements were made on diluted samples of these solutions. The solvent used to make up the...

The strategy of intrinsic continuous process safeguarding merits further attention. Consider the example of Grignard s synthesis using highly flammable ether as a solvent. The use of a safer. solvent mixed with a minimum amount of ether to reduce its vapour-phase concentration, along with a more predictable initiation, would be very helpful. We should ensure that in the vapour phase, explosive mixtures are not encountered. 

Entries 4 and 5 involve formation of ethers using alcohols as solvents, whereas the reaction in Entry 6 forms an amide in acetonitrile. Entries 7 and 8 show use of other nucleophiles to capture the mercurinium ion. 

To conclusively disprove the involvement of the chromanol methide radical, the reaction of a-tocopherol with dibenzoyl peroxide was conducted in the presence of a large excess of ethyl vinyl ether used as a solvent component. If 5a-a-tocopheryl benzoate (11) was formed homolytically according to Fig. 6.6, the presence of ethyl vinyl ether should have no large influence on the product distribution. However, if (11) was formed heterolytically according to Fig. 6.9, the intermediate o-QM 3 would be readily trapped by ethyl vinyl ether in a hetero-Diels-Alder process with inverse electron demand,27 thus drastically reducing the amount of 11 formed. Exactly the latter outcome was observed experimentally. In fact, using a 10-fold excess of ethyl vinyl ether relative to a-tocopherol and azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as radical... 

Parathion is very slightly soluble in water (20 parts per million), but is completely miscible in many organic solvents including esters, alcohols, ketones, ethers, aromatic and alkylated aromatic hydrocarbons, and animal and vegetable oils. It is practically insoluble in such paraffinic hydrocarbons as petroleum ether, kerosene, and refined spray oils (about 2%) unless a mutual solvent is used (1). 

Desulfoxidation was achieved using Ra-Ni in ether. This was followed by selective hydrogenolysis of the benzyl group on W2 Ra-Ni under a hydrogen atmosphere in EtOH.420-422 Desulfoxidation had to be performed in ether use of ethanol as the solvent in desulfoxidation led to cleavage of a C-7-C-8 bond (Scheme 4.123). 

A warning was given that the 5 molar solution in ether used as a solvent for Diels-Alder reactions would lead to explosions [1], Such a reaction of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and cyclooctatetraene in this solvent exploded very violently on heating. The cyclooctatetraene was blamed, with no supporting evidence [2], It would appear desirable to find the detonability limits of the mixture with ether before any attempt is made to scale up. A safe alternative to lithium perchlorate/ether as a solvent for Diels-Alder reactions is proposed [3],...
