Sulfuric arid

The less common heteroatoms are those other than nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur (arid selenium and tellurium which are treated alongside sulfur), i.e. phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, the halogens, silicon, germanium, tin, lead, boron and the transition metals. 

Sulfur Dioxide—The first step in making sulfuric arid from sulfur is to burn the sulfur. 

Five grams of the pentammine chloride (No. 119) are triturated with 1% of concentrated sulfuric arid In a mortar placed under the hood hydrogen chloride escapes in considerable quantity. The purple mass is dissolved In 40ml of water (pre-heated to 70°C), and filtered. On coding, the product crystallizes out as reddish prisms. If the mixture is allowed to cool slowly and the product remains under the mother liquor for three days, relatively large crystals can be grown. The salt is filtered, washed with 96% alcohol, and dried at 100°a... 

Peroxomonosulfuric acid, H2SO5, when pure, forms colorless crystals tliat melt with decomposition at 45°C, Peroxomonosulfuric arid is a strong oxidizing agent, It hydrolyzes rapidly at pH <2 to hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric arid, It is usually made and used in the form of Caro s acid. 

In sulfamation, also termed. V-sulfonadon, compounds of the general structure R2NSO3H are formed as well as their corresponding salts, arid halides, and esters. The reagents are sulfamic acid (amido-sulfuric arid). 03-pyridine complex, SC -tertiary amine complexes, aliphatic amine-SO3 adducts, and chlorine isocyanate- 03 complexes.

Extraction.—Rubidium may he extracted from lepidolite by decomposing the finely ground mineral wilh ertlcium fluoride and sulfuric arid heat, tlirn extract with water, evaporate, and allow the caesium-ridlidiiun alums to crystallize. 

When the supply of phthalic anhydride from Germany was cut off by the war, the manufacture of the compound was undertaken in this country. Attempts to use the old sulfuric arid liquid phase process on the basis of patent disclosures showed the unsatisfactory nature of the method. The... 

Electrolytic oxidation of anthracene in 20 per cent sulfuric acid solution with 1 per cent of vanadium pentoxide present is carried out at 80° C. with lead electrodes and a current density of 300 amperes per square meter at 1.6 volts. Good yields have been claimed 10 for this process. Air under pressure has been used for the oxidation of anthracene in the form of dispersions in aqueous ferric sulfate solutions,20 or as a solution iu pyridine or dispersion in aqueous alkaline solutions preferably in the presence of catalysts 21 of copper, cobalt, nickel or lead compounds. Vanadium compounds have been found more active than chromium compounds for use as oxidation catalysts in the form of suspensions in the liquid phase, as in the preparation of aniline black.22 Anthracene suspended in water or dilute sulfuric arid or dissolved in a solvent as acetone is oxidized with ozone, or ozonized oxygen at ordinary temperatures.28... 

Andrews has suggested the oxidation of anthracene by means of boiling sulfuric arid and oxidizing agents as sodium chromate, manganese dioxide, etc., in the presence of catalysts such as oxides of molybdenum, vanadium or mixtures in a state of fine subdivision.24... 

This process has been industrialized since 1916. In the earliest installations, high purity acetylene (99.5 per cent), rid of impurities such as AsH3> PH3 etc., is sent at low pressure (0l2 to 1.10 Pa absolute) to a vertical reactor containing the catalyst The catalyst in this case is a mercuric complex obtained by attacking mercury with 18 to 25 per cent weight sulfuric arid. The temperature is between 70 and 90 C The ovcralTreaction is as follows <... 

This is followed by hydrolysis and esterification in the presence of sulfuric arid and an alcohol, according to the following reactions ... 

Prisms, dec 73.5. In moist air the crystals dec with the formation of sulfuric and nitric acids and above 50 nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide are evolved. Sol in sulfuric arid, dec in water. 

Concentrated sulfuric arid (0.316 mol) was added over lh to dimethyl sulfide (0.316mol), the temperature of the reaction mixture being kept below 30°C. Methanol (0.156mol) was then added over 30min with the temperature below 35°C. After the mixture had been stirred for 5h, t-BuOH (0.048 mol) was added to it followed by potassium hydroxide (U.58 mol) in 10 equal aliquots over 2.5h. Benzaldehyde (O.lSmol) was added after the seventh KOH aliquot0 and an alkaline pH had been achieved. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h and subjected to conventional pentane/aqueous work-up. Styrene oxide was isolated in a 55% yield.

Aromatic rings can be sulfonated by reaction with fuming sulfuric arid, a mixture ofH2S04 and S0 t. The reactive electrophile is either HS03+ or neutral S03, depending on reaction conditions. Substitution occurs by the sanu two-step mechanism seen previously for bromination and nitration (Figun 16.7). Note, however, that the sulfonation reaction is readily reversible can occur either forward or backward, depending on the reaction condition ...
