Urea, solution preparation

Solution E2 5 mM chloroacetamide in urea solution. Prepare a 0.5 M chloroacetamide stock by dissolving 9.35 mg of chloroacetamide in 200 pL of ultrapure water. Add 11 pL of chloroacetamide stock to 1,089 pL of urea solution. Prepare freshly before use. 

Evidence from the viscosities, densities, refractive indices and measurements of the vapour pressure of these mixtures also supports the above conclusions. Acetyl nitrate has been prepared from a mixture of acetic anhydride and dinitrogen pentoxide, and characterised, showing that the equilibria discussed do lead to the formation of that compound. The initial reaction between nitric acid and acetic anhydride is rapid at room temperature nitric acid (0-05 mol 1 ) is reported to be converted into acetyl nitrate with a half-life of about i minute. This observation is consistent with the results of some preparative experiments, in which it was found that nitric acid could be precipitated quantitatively with urea from solutions of it in acetic anhydride at —10 °C, whereas similar solutions prepared at room temperature and cooled rapidly to — 10 °C yielded only a part of their nitric acid ( 5.3.2). The following equilibrium has been investigated in detail ... 

Certain features of the addition of acetyl nitrate to olefins in acetic anhydride may be relevant to the mechanism of aromatic nitration by this reagent. The rapid reaction results in predominantly cw-addition to yield a mixture of the y -nitro-acetate and y5-nitro-nitrate. The reaction was facilitated by the addition of sulphuric acid, in which case the 3rield of / -nitro-nitrate was reduced, whereas the addition of sodium nitrate favoured the formation of this compound over that of the acetate. As already mentioned ( 5.3. i), a solution of nitric acid (c. i 6 mol 1 ) in acetic anhydride prepared at — 10 °C would yield 95-97 % of the nitric acid by precipitation with urea, whereas from a similar solution prepared at 20-25 °C and cooled rapidly to —10 °C only 30% of the acid could be recovered. The difference between these values was attributed to the formation of acetyl nitrate. A solution prepared at room... 

Urea processes provide an aqueous solution containing 70—87% urea. This solution can be used directiy for nitrogen-fertilizer suspensions or solutions such as urea—ammonium nitrate solution, which has grown ia popularity recentiy (18). Urea solution can be concentrated by evaporation or crystallization for the preparation of granular compound fertilizers and other products. Concentrated urea is sohdified ia essentially pure form as prills, granules, flakes, or crystals. SoHd urea can be shipped, stored, distributed, and used mote economically than ia solution. Furthermore, ia the soHd form, urea is more stable and biuret formation less likely. 

Nitrite solution is added to an acidified urea solution. Use of urea for the removal of nitrous acid, e.g. in the preparation of ethyl nitrate (p. 148). 

Sample Preparation in 6M Urea. Solutions of glucose were prepared directly in 6M urea. D2O solutions were prepared by diluting equal volumes of D2O and 12M urea and the resulting solution was then diluted 1 1 with 6M urea. 

As in the Raschig process, aqueous caustic reacts with chlorine to make sodium hypochlorite solution. The urea solution is prepared by dissolving urea in water with the addition of steam to provide the heat needed for the endothermic dissolution. The temperature is kept at about 5°C for 43 percent urea solution. Glue is added at a ratio of 0.5g/Uter of solution to inhibit side reactions. The urea and hypochlorite solutions are added to the hydrazine reactor at a ratio of 1 4, and the reaction temperature is allowed to rise to 100°C. The crude product contains approximately 35 g N2H4/liter and can be refined in the same steps as used for the Raschig process. 

In the first attempt to prepare supported gold catalysts in this way,77,78 HAuCU was added to a suspension of the support in urea solution heated at 353 K, but after calcination at 673 K, quite large gold particles were obtained on titania, silica and alumina. In other work,79 complete deposition of gold onto alumina (5wt.%) was achieved, but particles were again large after calcination. 

The first electrode for urea was prepared by immobilizing urease in a poly-acrylcimide gel on nylon or Dacron nets. The nets were placed onto a Beckman electrode (NH J selective) (59). In a later development, the electrode was improved by covering the enzyme gel layer with a cellophane membrane to prevent leaching of urease into the solution (60). The urease electrode could be used for 21 days with no loss of activity. 

Experimentally, it is important that the urea and guanidinium chloride solutions used in stability studies are of the highest quality available. Urea solutions must be freshly prepared, since the compound undergoes decomposition in aqueous solution to form ammonium cyanate. Guanidinium chloride is a stronger denaturant than urea, but it cannot be used for studies of the dependence of stability on ionic strength. 

Solubilization Heavy chains(K or D ) and light chain(P2M) were isolated as Exoli insoluble inclusion bodies. These pellets were extensively washed with water and dissolved in S M urea containing 10 mM Tris HCl pH 8.5. After centrifugation at 15,000 rpm in an SS35 rotor (Sorvall RC5 centrifuge) for 30 min at d C, the solubilized heavy chains were stored at -70°C in urea solution for up to 1 week. Urea solubilized was prepared by dialysis at 4°C versus 10 mM Tris HCl pH 8.5 for 24 hr in the presence of 100 pM reduced glutathione, followed by an additional 24 hr with bufier alone. 

The immobilized enzyme was removed from the tube and rinsed with D.I. water, followed sequentially by 2N urea solution, 2N NaCl solution and tris buffer, pH 7.5, containing 0.2% sodium azide and 20 mM CaClg, then stored at 4 C. About 0.18-0.2 g of immobilized enzyme beads were used to slurry pack stainless steel 10 cm x 2.1 mm column reactors. Complete details of enzyme preparation and assay for activity are described elsewhere [12],... 

Heterocycles. Base-catalyzed condensation of urea with diethyl oxalate gives parabanic acid (Murray ) condensation with diethyl malonate gives barbituric acid (Dickey and Gray ). The first procedure uses a solution prepared from sodium... 

Since the reaction mixture contains citrulline, which gives a color with the urea reagent, the urea standards must be prepared with added citrulline. To 1.5 ml of 7% perchloric acid is added 0.5 ml of water and 0.5 ml of substrate solution. A series of standards is obtained by adding to 0.1 ml of this mixture in each of 3 tubes, 0.3 ml of water or standard urea solution, such that the final concentration of urea in the 0.4 ml is 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 mg/100 ml. The color is developed as described above. 

Materials. Electrophoretically purified human carbonic anhydrase B (hCAB), also referred to as human carbonic anhydrase I, was purchased from the Sigma Chemical Co. (lot 104F93201). Electrophoresis grade urea was purchased from Fisher Scientific. Human carbonic anhydrase B stock solutions were stored at 4 C and used within four weeks, while urea solutions were prepared fresh prior to each experiment... 

Frechet and coworkers have reported the development of a functionalized polymer monolith for use in parallel solution phase synthesis in continuous flow applications [10]. In this report, the authors outline the preparation of an azalac-tone-functionalized monolith for scavenging nucleophiles. This method involves the preparation of a macroporous polyfchloromethylstyrene co-divinylbenzene) monolith via the polymerization of the relevant mixture of monomer, initiator and porogen. These are allowed to react with a free radical initiator (4-cyanovaleric acid), followed by reaction with the monomer of choice, to synthesize the functionalized monolith. The authors have thus prepared monoliths functionalized with VAZ to provide an azalactone-functionalized monolith. These monoliths were then demonstrated to completely remove amines after flowing a solution of amine in THF through the monolith for 30 min. They have also reported the reaction of these monoliths with alcohols as well. A small demonstration library of ureas was prepared and after 8 min of residence time up to 76% of the alkyl amines were found to be scavenged (Scheme 8.6).

Materials. The copolyether-urethane-ureas were prepared from polypropylene glycol, methylene bis(4-phenylisocyanate), and ethylenediamine using a modified solution polymerization technique (7). The polypropylene glycols used had molecular weights of 700, 1000, and 2000 the resulting copolymers were coded PEUU 700, PEUU 1000, and PEUU 2000. Inherent viscosities in N,iV-dimethyl-formamide at 30°C and 0.5% concentrations were 0.47, 0.65, and 0.50, respectively.
