In the examples, a nitro group is substituted for a hydrogen atom, and water is a by-product. Nitro groups may, however, be substituted for other atoms or groups of atoms. In Victor Meyer reactions which use silver nitrite, the nitro group replaces a hahde atom, eg, I or Br. In a modification of this method, sodium nitrite dissolved in dimethyl formamide or other suitable solvent is used instead of silver nitrite (1). Nitro compounds can also be produced by addition reactions, eg, the reaction of nitric acid or nitrogen dioxide with unsaturated compounds such as olefins or acetylenes. 

Polymeric OC-Oxygen-Substituted Peroxides. Polymeric peroxides (3) are formed from the following reactions ketone and aldehydes with hydrogen peroxide, ozonization of unsaturated compounds, and dehydration of a-hydroxyalkyl hydroperoxides consequendy, a variety of polymeric peroxides of this type exist. Polymeric peroxides are generally viscous Hquids or amorphous soHds, are difficult to characterize, and are prone to explosive decomp o sition. 

Sulfurization of unsaturated compounds ia the presence of hydrogen sulfide also affords polysulfides (9). It is postulated that this reaction forms the mercaptan in situ which then further reacts to form the polysulfide (see Sulfurcompounds). 

Sulfurization of unsaturated compounds and meicaptans is normally carried out at atmospheric pressure, in a mild or stainless steel, batch-reaction vessel equipped with an overhead condenser, nitrogen atmosphere, an agitator, heating media capable of 120—215°C temperatures and a scmbber (typically caustic bleach or diethanolamine) capable of handling hydrogen sulfide. If the reaction iavolves the use of H2S as a reactant or the olefin or mercaptan is a low boiling material, a stainless steel pressurized vessel is recommended. 

With Unsaturated Compounds. The reaction of unsaturated organic compounds with carbon monoxide and molecules containing an active hydrogen atom leads to a variety of interesting organic products. The hydroformylation reaction is the most important member of this class of reactions. When the hydroformylation reaction of ethylene takes place in an aqueous medium, diethyl ketone [96-22-0] is obtained as the principal product instead of propionaldehyde [123-38-6] (59). Ethylene, carbon monoxide, and water also yield propionic acid [79-09-4] under mild conditions (448—468 K and 3—7 MPa or 30—70 atm) using cobalt or rhodium catalysts containing bromide or iodide (60,61). 

The composition of an oil and the progress of its hydrogenation is expressed in terms of its iodine value (IV). Edible oils are mixtures of unsaturated compounds with molecular weights in the vicinity of 300. The IV is a measure of this unsaturation. It is found by a standardized procedure. A solution of ICl in a mixture of acetic acid and carbon tetrachloride is mixed in with the oil and allowed to reac t to completion, usually for less than I h. Halogen addition takes place at the double bond, after which the amount of unreacted iodine is determined by analysis. The reaction is... 

Although the first and still most important epoxide resins are of the glycidyl ether type, other epoxide resins have been commercially marketed in recent years. These materials are generally prepared by epoxidising unsaturated compounds using hydrogen peroxide or peracetic acid. 

An even more effective homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst is the complex [RhClfPPhsfs] which permits rapid reduction of alkenes, alkynes and other unsaturated compounds in benzene solution at 25°C and 1 atm pressure (p. 1134). The Haber process, which uses iron metal catalysts for the direct synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen at high temperatures and pressures, is a further example (p. 421). 

Some unsaturated compounds are capable of quantitative hydrogenation in a solution of colloidal palladium. It has been found that a hydrogen number corresponding to the iodine number of fatty oils may be ascribed to some ethereal oils. 

Several features of the rearrangement have been elucidated. Although in the treatment of the ester 26 with acetic acid the products were isolated in only 64% yield, evidence was obtained (22) that finally no 1,2-unsaturated compounds remained, since the noncrystalline portion on hydrogenation and deacetylation afforded only 3-deoxy-D-ribo and -d-arabino-hexose and no 1,5-anhydrohexitols. That the components of the final mixture were in equilibrium was indicated by the observation that the main component 27 underwent reaction in boiling acetic acid to give a solution with the same optical activity as that of the original reaction mixture. Thus the 2,3-unsaturated compounds are more stable than the hydroxyglycal derivatives and the a isomer 27 is more stable than its anomer 28. 

Compound A, C H O, was found to be an optically active alcohol. Despite its apparent unsaturation, no hydrogen was absorbed on catalytic reduction over a palladium catalyst. On treatment of A with dilute sulfuric acid, dehydration occurred and an optically inactive alkene B, Q iH14, was produced as the major product. Alkene B, on ozonolysis, gave two products. One product was identified as propanal, CH3CH2CHO. Compound C, the other product, was shown to be a ketone, CgHgO. How many degrees of unsaturation does A have Write the reactions, and identify A, B, and C. 

Unsaturated compounds are those organic compounds in which less than four other atoms are attached to one or more of the carbon atoms. Ethylene, C2H4, is an unsaturated compound. Because ethylene involves only carbon and hydrogen, it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon. Propylene, the next more complicated unsaturated hydrocarbon, has the molecular formula C3H6. 

A few data exist on the oxidation by ferricyanide. This is simple second-order (in oxidant and neutral hydrazine), and leads to quantitative production of nitrogen in accordance with scheme (71)-(74) with A 4 k and A i. No scrambling occurs during oxidation of N-labelled N2H4 indicating that all N2 is formed via di-imine" Di-imine so prepared is capable of hydrogenating added unsaturated compounds, for example, phenylpropiolic acid gives m-cinnamic acid" " . 

The heats of hydrogenation for a number of unsaturated compounds are available from the work of Kistiakowsky and collaborators, and in a few cases from accurate heats of formation of the monomer and the reference compound can be estimated... 

If a hydrogen atom is present in the p position of the halogen, a p-elimination reaction becomes possible. If the unsaturated compound obtained is particularly unstable, the reaction will be dangerous.
