Some Additional Notes

Distances between tube banks are of the order of 20 ft or so. A rough guide to box size is about 4cuft/sqft of radiant transfer surface, but the ultimate criterion is sufficient space to avoid impingement of flames on the tubes. Some additional notes on dimensions are stated with the design procedure of Table 8.18.

Part B of Table 12.2 gives some addition reaction rates. Comparison of entries 19 and 20 shows that the phenyl radical is much more reactive toward addition than the benzy 1 radical. Comparison of entries 22 and 23 shows that methyl radicals are less reactive than phenyl radicals in additions to an aromatic ring. Note that additions to aromatic rings are much slower than additions to alkenes. 

While there have been only a limited number of reactions of e-(aq) and Pu ions in near neutral or basic solutions, apparently systematic reactivity patterns provide some additional insight. For example, it has been noted that the second order rate parameters (M s-1) for the reactions of... 

To gain some additional insight we note that the general rate expression (6.65) is now reduced to ... 

Alcohols form esters from inorganic acids as shown above. Like all esterifications, these reactions are reversible that is, in the presence of water and the right conditions, they revert to the original alcohol and acid. Nitrate esters are mainly used as explosives, but some have found use as diesel fuel additives. Note the difference between a nitrate ester such as ethyl nitrate (C2H5ONO2) and an organic nitro compound such as nitroethane (C2H5NO2). 

The following examples illnstrate some additional details of these reactions. It is worth noting that metabolism of the methylphenols (cresols) by mixed cnltnres may proceed by ring carboxylation in contrast to the oxidation pathway that has been demonstrated in pnre cnltnres ... 

Scheme 2.23 provides some examples of conjugate addition reactions. Entry 1 illustrates the tendency for reaction to proceed through the more stable enolate. Entries 2 to 5 are typical examples of addition of doubly stabilized enolates to electrophilic alkenes. Entries 6 to 8 are cases of addition of nitroalkanes. Nitroalkanes are comparable in acidity to (i-ketocslcrs (see Table 1.1) and are often excellent nucleophiles for conjugate addition. Note that in Entry 8 fluoride ion is used as the base. Entry 9 is a case of adding a zinc enolate (Reformatsky reagent) to a nitroalkene. Entry 10 shows an enamine as the carbon nucleophile. All of these reactions were done under equilibrating conditions. 

It is intriguing to note that good synthetic routes to tractable, high molecular weight (>20K) polysilazanes are still not available despite the extensive efforts and progress made in the last five years and the facility with which the analogous polysiloxanes are prepared. Part of the problem may be that the reaction mechanisms for the above discussed approaches are still poorly understood. We would like to suggest here some additional reasons for this lack of success. 

Note that assuming 90% efficiency, we would get an input power of 3.67W. In that case, Iw would be equal to 3.67/5 = 0.73A. So the actual number is somewhere around 0.7A as I told him. In reality, besides having to account for the less-than-perfect efficiency, we may need some additional margin just to provide the inrush current at startup. So it is likely we may end up using a 1A or 2A bench power supply. But that is not relevant here. The problem here is, we still don t know where the additional current is coming from in steady state Intuitively, not via math ... 

Electrophilic attack at carbon is a well-documented reaction which occurs regioselectively at the C-3 position. It was illustrated by numerous examples, including nitrations, halogenations, acylations, and Mannich reactions in CHEC(1984) and CHEC-II(1996) <1996CHEC-II(8)249>. Table 1 reports some additional recent examples. It should be noted that all these synthetic transformations were carried out in the field of medicinal chemistry. 

The preparation of allenylsilanes by silylation of allenic and propargylic lithium reagents has been noted previously in connection with structural and reactivity studies on these intermediates (Eqs. 9.7and 9.8). Some additional examples are depicted in Eqs. 9.37and 9.38 [44, 45]. 

Lougher et al. (1968) reviewed the situation, presented some additional data, and developed recommendations for further work. They examined existing theories to explain smelt-water explosions and rejected all. They too noted that sodium aluminate in the smelt reduced the probability of an incident and also stated that CaCOj and Fe203 were effective. Most other additives (and over 90 were studied) either led to more violent explosions or were ineffective. No correlation of the smelt additive results was given. Also, water with various additives such as surfactants, starch, sucrose, glycerine, and hydroxymethyl cellulose still exploded when contacted with a sensitized smelt.
