Subject ammonium salt

It has long been known that quaternary ammonium salts can exert a curare-like action, and in recent years much attention has been given to the synthesis and pharmacological testing of such products work on this subject up to 1936 has been reviewed by Ing, and more recently a theoretical discussion of the relationship between structure and action in drugs of this type has been provided by Holmes, Jenden and Taylor.Chase, Lehmann and Yonkmann have compared the action of quaternary salts of quinine with that of -erythroidine hydrochloride and of dihydro- -erythroidine hydrobromide. Quinine ethochloride shows marked curariform action of short duration. ... 

The choice of the anion ultimately intended to be an element of the ionic liquid is of particular importance. Perhaps more than any other single factor, it appears that the anion of the ionic liquid exercises a significant degree of control over the molecular solvents (water, ether, etc.) with which the IL will form two-phase systems. Nitrate salts, for example, are typically water-miscible while those of hexaflu-orophosphate are not those of tetrafluoroborate may or may not be, depending on the nature of the cation. Certain anions such as hexafluorophosphate are subject to hydrolysis at higher temperatures, while those such as bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonamide are not, but are extremely expensive. Additionally, the cation of the salt used to perform any anion metathesis is important. While salts of potassium, sodium, and silver are routinely used for this purpose, the use of ammonium salts in acetone is frequently the most convenient and least expensive approach. 

Benzylic quaternary ammonium salts, when treated with alkali metal amides, undergo a rearrangement called the Sommelet-Hauser rearrangementSince the product is a benzylic tertiary amine, it can be further alkylated and the product again subjected to the rearrangement. This process can be continued around the ring until an ortho position is blocked. ... 

Ammonium salts usually decompose to gaseous products, and a sizeable number of such compounds have been the subject of kinetic studies (House et al., 1995). Decomposition of ammonium carbonate leads to gaseous products,... 

Amides are prepared, quite generally, from the acids by subjecting the ammonium salts to dry distillation, or still better, by beating them for a long time at a high temperature. 

The nitration of oximinocyanoacetic acid esters with mixed acid at room temperature yields dinitrocyanoacetic acid esters which are precursors to dinitroacetonitrile and its salts. a-Oximinonitriles can be nitrated to Q ,Q -dinitronitriles with anhydrous nitric acid containing ammonium nitrate, and then subjected to ammonolysis with aqueous ammonia to give the ammonium salt of the corresponding m-dinitroalkane. ... 

Aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfate and ammonium bisulfate were deposited on Fluoropore filters, placed in the direct insertion probe, and analyzed in the chemical ionization mode (H2O reagent) gas. The samples were heated from 100°C to 330 C at 15 C/minute. No sample ions were observed under these anlaysis conditions, even when several micrograms of ammonium salts were analyzed. The thermal decomposition of ammonium salts of sulfate has been the subject of many studies. (29,30) Some pathways include sulfuric acid production at one stage of the decomposition while others suggest ammonia, SO2 and SO3 are the products. None of these accurately simulate the conditions (temperature, pressure, gas flow) present in our chemical ionization source. However, no sulfuric acid ions (H3SO4+, etc.) were ob-served... 

When sodium chloride is dissolved in water at ordinary temperatures, it is practically completely dissociated into sodium and chloride ions which, under the action of an external field, move in opposite directions and independently of each other subject to coulombic interactions. If, however, sodium chloride is dissolved in a solvent of lower dielectric constant, and if the solution is sufficiently dilute, there is an equilibrium between ions and a coulombic compound of the two ions which are commonly termed 4 ion pairs. This equilibrium conforms to the law of mass action when the interaction of the ions with the surrounding ion atmosphere is taken into account. In solvents of very low dielectric constant, such as the hydrocarbons, sodium chloride is not soluble however, many quaternary ammonium salts are quite soluble, and their conductance has been measured. Here at very low concentrations, there also is an equilibrium between ions and ion pairs which conforms to the law of mass action but at higher concentration, in the neighborhood of 1 X 10 W, or below, a minimum occurs in the conductance. Thereafter, it may be shown that the conductance increases continuously up to the molten electrolyte, provided that a suitable electrolyte and solvent are employed which are miscible above the melting point of the electrolyte. 

It has been known for more than a century that living systems can distinguish between isomeric forms of many substances. In 1860, Pasteur [16] showed by polarimetry that when the ammonium salt of racemic tartaric acid ( paratartrate ) was subjected to fermentation by a yeast only one of the two enantiomeric forms was consumed— The yeast which causes the right salt to ferment leaves the left salt untouched, in spite of the absolute identity in physical and chemical properties of... 

Free formaldehyde is reacted with acetylacetone in the presence of an excess of an ammonium salt to form the yellow fluorescent compound, 3,5-diacetyl-1,4-dihydrolutidine and subsequently determined spectrophotometrically in methods A-E (14). In these methods, the test sample must be colorless and free from other carbonyl compounds. Some other derivatives have been used to analyze formaldehyde. For example, formaldehyde was reacted with sodium 4,5-dihydroxy-2,7-naphthalene disulfonate in sulfuric acid solution to yield a purple color (580 nm) and then subjected to colorimetric analysis. A purple-colored pararosaniline derivative was used to analyze formaldehyde in air (15). Air sample was passed through an aqueous solution which contained 0.4% of 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolone hydrazone hydrochloride and then a dye produced was determined at 635 or 670 nm (16). Molecular sieve (1.6 mm pettet) was used to trap formaldehyde in air samples. The formaldehyde... 

Steroidal aminomethyl derivatives have been subjected to some of the reactions typical of Mannich bases, described in Chap. II, usually with the aim of introducing structural modifications of the molecule by means, in particular, of deamination and hydrogen-olysis. The formation of a quaternary ammonium salt (mainly iodomethylatc) by N-alkylation of the base - is also performed to the same end in order to obtain unsaturated deaminated products. ... 

N-Alkylation—Secondary Mannich bases can give the corresponding tertiary derivatives by treatment with particular alkylation agents, such as epoxides (affording P-ami-noalcohols) and acrylic derivatives. Tertiary Mannich bases, mostly, are submitted to N-alkylation in order to produce stable quaternary ammonium salts to be subsequently subjected to deamination (Sec. A.2). However, different quaternary ammonium byproducts can be readily given by the reaction. " For instance, a base-catalyzed rearrangement is afforded by allyl ammonium salts 365 (Fig. 144), obtained by N-alkylation of acetylenic Mannich bases with ally] halides. " In the presence of sodium hydride, the compounds 365 yield a wide range of 3-amino-5-hexen-l-yne derivatives 366. 

When the norditerpenoid alkaloid imine 360 was subjection to reaction with MeI-NH40H and MCPBA, oxaziridine 361 was formed in 50% overall yield <2002H(57)2357>. Key steps in the proposed mechanism for the formation of 361 involve formation of a quaternary ammonium salt with Mel and peracid oxidation through a Baeyer-Villiger-type process. 

We found that the stereoisomeric lithium (94) or sodium (95) enolates showed precisely the same stereoisomerism. Benzoylation of the enolates (XI) and (XII) gave the appropriate stereoisomeric benzoates. Hence, the enolates are not subject to steric isomerization under these conditions. Consequently, no C-metallic derivative of the ketone species is involved, otherwise it would function as an intermediate, allowing the stereoisomeric enolates to isomerize to an equilibrated mixture. Indeed, if a tetramethyl-ammonium salt whose cation cannot form any covalent bond with oxygen is...
