Solvents simplicity considerations

Although benzenesulphonyl chloride has for simplicity been used in the above discussion, tolucne-/>- sulphonyl chloride, CHaCeH SO Cl, is more frequently used in the laboratory, owing to its much lower cost, the latter being due in turn to the fact that toluene-p-sulphonyl chloride is a by-product in the commercial preparation of saccharin. Toluene-p sulphonyl chloride is a crystalline substance, of m.p. 68° the finely powdered chloride will, however, usually react readily with amines in the Schotten-Baumann reaction it does not react so readily with alcohols, but the reaction may be promoted considerably by first dissolving the chloride in some inert water-soluble solvent such as acetone. 

Significant improvements in yields or reaction conditions can be achieved, together with considerable simplification of operating procedures. The powerful synergistic combination of PTC and microwave techniques has certainly enabled an ever increasing number of reactions to be conducted under clean and mild conditions. The inherent simplicity of the method can, furthermore, be allied with all the advantages of solvent-free procedures in terms of reactivity, selectivity, economy, safety, and ease in manipulation. 

The basic GC-model of the Constantinou and Gani method (Eq. 1) as presented above provides the basis for the formulation of the solvent replacement problem as a MILP-optimization problem. For purposes of simplicity, in this chapter, only the first-order approximation is taken into consideration (that is, W is equal to zero). In this way, the functions of the target properties of the generated molecules (solvent replacements) are written as monotonic functions of the property values, thereby, leading to a linear right hand side of the property constraints (property model equation), as follows,... 

The simplicity of the two-phase modification of the Gabriel synthesis of primary amines, via the N-alkylation of potassium phthalimide, makes the procedure considerably more convenient than the traditional method, which normally requires the use of anhydrous dipolar aprolic solvents. The reaction can be conducted under solid liquid conditions using potassium hydroxide in toluene [25], or with preformed potassium phthalimide [26, 27] (cf ref. 28). As is normal for acylation reactions, relatively mild conditions are required for the preparation of the A-ethoxycarbonyl derivative [29], whereas a reaction temperature of 100°C is generally used for N-alkylation (Table 5.16). The reaction time for the soliddiquid two-phase system can be reduced dramatically with retention of the high yields, when the reaction mixture is subjected to microwave irradiation [30]. 

The first exceptional system that we review is carbon dioxide [15-21], Supercritical (sc) CO2 finds numerous industrial applications as a green solvent, and this practical consideration stimulates interest in its radiation chemistry. Though the studies of sc CO2 are recent, this system is particularly interesting because of the simplicity of the solvent molecule and extensive gas phase and matrix isolation studies of the corresponding ions (see below). 

To summarize, solvent-free reactions are not only of increasing interest from an ecological viewpoint, but in many cases also offer considerable synthetic advantages in terms of yield, selectivity, and simplicity of the reaction procedure. 

Other direct serum cholesterol techniques have been modified for the AutoAnalyzer. Several investigators have adapted the procedure of Pearson et al. (PI, P2), which is based on the use of glacial acetic, p-toluenesulfonic, and sulfuric acids. The several advantages cited by proponents of this technique include simplicity and speed of operation compared to extraction methods, which are time-consuming and require considerable manipulative skill greater specificity of the Pearson vs. Zlatkis techniques stability of the final color and similarity of absorbances of both free and esterified cholesterol. A disadvantage of the direct methods is that standards in organic solvents do not exhibit the... 

Due to its simplicity, this trend being developed for more than 20 years has reached its limits and therefore significant improvements in this area are not expected from now on. In contrast, we expect an essential development in the second trend. The second trend realizes the complexity of the charged interface and attempts to mimic it as close as possible. However, the consideration of local order and multistate solute and solvent molecules, as well as the treatment of the whole... 

The wide spread and popularity of the emulsion solvent removal method in microspheres manufacturing are attributed to its inherent simplicity, operated in most cases at room temperature and normal atmospheric conditions. However, the physicochemical phenomena governing this process are complex due to the existence of a considerable number of processing and formulation parameters that profoundly affect the properties of the product obtained. The following formulation and processessing parameters greatly influence the microspheres products ... 

Formamide and water are the simplest molecules usually chosen as models for studying biological systems exhibiting the peptide type of bonding as in proteins. Hydrogen bonding complexes of formamide such as formamide-water, formamide-methanol can thus serve as model systems for protein-water and protein-solvent interactions. On account of the simplicity of this model, the characterization of the hydrogen bond interactions between water and formamide has been of considerable interest to experimentalists and theoreticians. 

In the experiments, various types of solvents are commonly used, so that we should consider a mixture R A/ /R Bg /S, where S denotes the solvent. Extension of the following theoretical consideration to such ternary systems is straightforward as long as the solvent is inactive. Therefore, for simplicity, we will mainly confine the discussion to binary systems. 

A considerable number of methods base on the Radziszewski reaction employing heterogeneous catalytic systems have come out, allowing the synthesis of 2,4,5-tri-substituted imidazoles in a very efficient way, in terms of yields and time reactions. The authors proclaimed simplicity of the operations and environmental friendliness as additional advantages of the methods. In many cases, the reactions are carried out under solvent-free conditions, and in some cases, it is possible to perform them at room temperature. Some selected examples are those using as catalysts...
