Suffice reactions

Dithiocarbamates are generally easily prepared, resulting from the reaction of carbon disulfide with a secondary amine in the presence of base (Eq. 1). Reactions are usually carried out in water, methanol or ethanol, and sodimn or potassium hydroxides typically serve as the base. Some preparations recommend that the reaction be carried out at low temperature, but in most cases room temperature suffices. Reactions are typically rapid and proceed cleanly and in high yield. 

Consideration of the reaction center or reaction site is of central importance in reaction searching. It does not suffice to specify the functional groups in the starting materials and in the products of a reaction when one is interested in a certain transformation. On top of that, one also has to specify that these functional groups shotfid participate directly in the reaction - that they should be part of the reaction center. 

For small quantities of compounds which are readily volatile in steam, it will often suffice to add water to the crude material in the reaction flask e.g,., Fig. 36) and to heat directly with a small flame. 

If R = R, the reaction appears to be catalytic as a small quantity of R Cl will suffice to convert a considerable quantity of the trialkyl phosphite into the dialkyl alkylphosphonate (I). As little as o-i mol. of the alkyl iodide will suffice to isomerise the trialkyl phosphite. 

In the reaction described below triethyl phosphite (p. 308) is heated with ethyl iodide to give diethyl ethylphosphonate. Although theoretically a very small amount of ethyl iodide would suffice, it is advantageous to use more than the minimum amount so as to reduce the temperature of the boiling reaction-mixture. 

IsoValeric acid. Prepare dilute sulphuric acid by adding 140 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid cautiously and with stirring to 85 ml. of water cool and add 80 g. (99 ml.) of redistilled woamyl alcohol. Place a solution of 200 g. of crystallised sodium dicliromate in 400 ml. of water in a 1-litre (or 1-5 litre) round-bottomed flask and attach an efficient reflux condenser. Add the sulphuric acid solution of the isoamyl alcohol in amaU portions through the top of the condenser shake the apparatus vigorously after each addition. No heating is required as the heat of the reaction will suffice to keep the mixture hot. It is important to shake the flask well immediately after each addition and not to add a further portion of alcohol until the previous one has reacted if the reaction should become violent, immerse the flask momentarily in ice water. The addition occupies 2-2-5 hours. When all the isoamyl alcohol has been introduced, reflux the mixture gently for 30 minutes, and then allow to cool. Arrange the flask for distillation (compare Fig. II, 13, 3, but with the thermometer omitted) and collect about 350 ml. of distillate. The latter consists of a mixture of water, isovaleric acid and isoamyl isovalerate. Add 30 g. of potassium not sodium) hydroxide pellets to the distillate and shake until dissolved. Transfer to a separatory funnel and remove the upper layer of ester (16 g.). Treat the aqueous layer contained in a beaker with 30 ml. of dilute sulphuric acid (1 1 by volume) and extract the liberated isovaleric acid with two... 

The applicability of the two-parameter equation and the constants devised by Brown to electrophilic aromatic substitutions was tested by plotting values of the partial rate factors for a reaction against the appropriate substituent constants. It was maintained that such comparisons yielded satisfactory linear correlations for the results of many electrophilic substitutions, the slopes of the correlations giving the values of the reaction constants. If the existence of linear free energy relationships in electrophilic aromatic substitutions were not in dispute, the above procedure would suffice, and the precision of the correlation would measure the usefulness of the p+cr+ equation. However, a point at issue was whether the effect of a substituent could be represented by a constant, or whether its nature depended on the specific reaction. To investigate the effect of a particular substituent in different reactions, the values for the various reactions of the logarithms of the partial rate factors for the substituent were plotted against the p+ values of the reactions. This procedure should show more readily whether the effect of a substituent depends on the reaction, in which case deviations from a hnear relationship would occur. It was concluded that any variation in substituent effects was random, and not a function of electron demand by the electrophile. ... 

This procedure works equally well for both X and speed production. The set up used is the same as fig. 12 (remember, no vacuum) and into the reaction flask is placed 275 mL formamide, 80g MD-P2P or 70g P2P, and 55mL of 9% glacial acetic acid (50mL dHzO and 5mL glacial acetic acid, bubbal). This is slowly heated to 140-150 C in the oil bath and kept there for 5 hours. The lower the temperature at which a sustained reaction (bubbling) can occur the better. Suffice to say that 150°C should not be passed. Very early on the water and glacial acetic acid will have distilled over and can be discarded. 

Early demand for chlorine centered on textile bleaching, and chlorine generated through the electrolytic decomposition of salt (NaCl) sufficed. Sodium hydroxide was produced by the lime—soda reaction, using sodium carbonate readily available from the Solvay process. Increased demand for chlorine for PVC manufacture led to the production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide as coproducts. Solution mining of salt and the avadabiHty of asbestos resulted in the dominance of the diaphragm process in North America, whereas soHd salt and mercury avadabiHty led to the dominance of the mercury process in Europe. Japan imported its salt in soHd form and, until the development of the membrane process, also favored the mercury ceU for production. 

Moreover, in this linear-response (weak-coupling) limit any reservoir may be thought of as an infinite number of oscillators qj with an appropriately chosen spectral density, each coupled linearly in qj to the particle coordinates. The coordinates qj may not have a direct physical sense they may be just unobservable variables whose role is to provide the correct response properties of the reservoir. In a chemical reaction the role of a particle is played by the reaction complex, which itself includes many degrees of freedom. Therefore the separation of reservoir and particle does not suffice to make the problem manageable, and a subsequent reduction of the internal degrees of freedom in the reaction complex is required. The possible ways to arrive at such a reduction are summarized in table 1. 

The side chains of the 20 different amino acids listed in Panel 1.1 (pp. 6-7) have very different chemical properties and are utilized for a wide variety of biological functions. However, their chemical versatility is not unlimited, and for some functions metal atoms are more suitable and more efficient. Electron-transfer reactions are an important example. Fortunately the side chains of histidine, cysteine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid are excellent metal ligands, and a fairly large number of proteins have recruited metal atoms as intrinsic parts of their structures among the frequently used metals are iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium. Several metallo proteins are discussed in detail in later chapters and it suffices here to mention briefly a few examples of iron and zinc proteins. 

Hydroxyl groups attached to the epoxy resin would suffice for this purpose. Five further reactions may then occur. 

Enzymes are proteins of high molecular weight and possess exceptionally high catalytic properties. These are important to plant and animal life processes. An enzyme, E, is a protein or protein-like substance with catalytic properties. A substrate, S, is the substance that is chemically transformed at an accelerated rate because of the action of the enzyme on it. Most enzymes are normally named in terms of the reactions they catalyze. In practice, a suffice -ase is added to the substrate on which die enzyme acts. Eor example, die enzyme dial catalyzes die decomposition of urea is urease, the enzyme dial acts on uric acid is uricase, and die enzyme present in die micro-organism dial converts glucose to gluconolactone is glucose oxidase. The diree major types of enzyme reaction are ... 

The Diels-Alder reaction of a diene with a substituted olefinic dienophile, e.g. 2, 4, 8, or 12, can go through two geometrically different transition states. With a diene that bears a substituent as a stereochemical marker (any substituent other than hydrogen deuterium will suffice ) at C-1 (e.g. 11a) or substituents at C-1 and C-4 (e.g. 5, 6, 7), the two different transition states lead to diastereomeric products, which differ in the relative configuration at the stereogenic centers connected by the newly formed cr-bonds. The respective transition state as well as the resulting product is termed with the prefix endo or exo. For example, when cyclopentadiene 5 is treated with acrylic acid 15, the cw fo-product 16 and the exo-product 17 can be formed. Formation of the cw fo-product 16 is kinetically favored by secondary orbital interactions (endo rule or Alder rule) Under kinetically controlled conditions it is the major product, and the thermodynamically more stable cxo-product 17 is formed in minor amounts only. 

The term Knoevenagel reaction however is used also for analogous reactions of aldehydes and ketones with various types of CH-acidic methylene compounds. The reaction belongs to a class of carbonyl reactions, that are related to the aldol reaction. The mechanism is formulated by analogy to the latter. The initial step is the deprotonation of the CH-acidic methylene compound 2. Organic bases like amines can be used for this purpose a catalytic amount of amine usually suffices. A common procedure, that uses pyridine as base as well as solvent, together with a catalytic amount of piperidine, is called the Doebner modification of the Knoevenagel reaction. 

The leaving group doesn t have to be a water molecule any group or substituent which upon cleavage from the carbon skeleton under appropriate reaction conditions leaves behind a carbenium ion—e.g. a halogen substituent—will suffice. The other substituents can be hydrogen, alkyl or aryl. ... 

The influence of reaction variables and catalyst is complex 19,62,83,84). It is difficult to formulate generalities from available data suffice it to note that much can be done to alter the extent of hydrogenolysis in compounds susceptible to this reaction. 

We can say little more about how the nature of the reactants determines the reaction rate until we consider in detail how some reactions take place. For the time being, it will suffice to observe that this is an active field of study and much remains to be learned. 

Now let us consider the reverse reaction. We need not draw another reaction diagram, since Figure 8-6 will suffice. Now we are interested in the reaction between CO and NO to produce CO and NO ... 

This is because the concentrations of solid copper and solid silver are incorporated into the equilibrium constant. The concentration of solid copper is fixed by the density of the metal—it cannot be altered either by the chemist or by the progress of the reaction. The same is true of the concentration of solid silver. Since neither of these concentrations varies, no matter how much solid is added, there is no need to write them each time an equilibrium calculation is made. Equation (21) will suffice.
