Yield of preparation

Amino-2,6-bis(cyanomethyl)-5-Pyrimidinecarbonitrile is formed as a byproduct in a yield of preparative interest, b.p.. Boiling point. 

In some cases it is possible to use polarography to improve the yields of preparative methods, either by ascertaining the optimum conditions for organic synthesis of electrosynthesis, or by control of the isolation of natural products from biological material. 

Although the majority of radiopharmaceuticals labeled with fluorine-18 have been prepared using nucleophilic fluorination reactions, in a few instances the application of electrophilic fluorination reactions has proved quite suitable. The most significant limitation of electrophilic 18F-fluorinations is the relatively low specific activities (less than lOCi/mmol) commonly obtained for final products. This is a result of the fact that electrophilic 18F-fluorination reagents (perchloryl fluoride, acetyl hypofluorite, xenon difluoride, A-fluoro-zV-alkylsulfonamides, diethylaminosulfur trifluoride) are prepared in low specific activity from 18F-labeled fluorine gas, which in itself produced in a carrier-added fashion. A second drawback of electrophilic fluorination is that the maximum radiochemical yield obtainable is 50%, as only one of the two fluorine atoms in fluorine gas can end up in the product (or, for preparation of electrophilic reagents such as acetyl [18F]hypofluorite, the maximum yield of preparing the reagent from [18F]F2 is 50%). 

Rejected products are those which are lost after preparation including incompletely filled containers, samples for laboratory, breakage, failure from visual inspection et cetera. The gross yield minus the reject number gives the net yield. When the net yield of preparation, the number of packages or flie number... 

Cycloadditions and Rearrangements. The addition of 2-oxyallyl cations to furan provides a route to oxabicyclo[3,2,l]octanes complementary to the cycloaddition of cyclopropanones to furan. Careful experimental studies have led to yields of preparative importance both with furan and with cyclopentadiene. Following the route to azabicyclo-octanes, dipolar addition to the pyrylium betaine (99) affords oxa-analogues (Scheme 23). Also reported are the addition of fiiran to 1-cyanonaphthalene, the formation of various cycloadducts of tropone and tropolone (Scheme 24), and the phototransformations of (100) (Scheme 25) and (101) (Scheme 26). Thermal addition gives (102) from (103) and similarly other 8-oxabicyclo-octanes are prepared from acyclic precursors. ...

At a gum concentration of 0.5 wt% the protein concentration does not affect the rheological behavior of the multiple emulsion that conserves its elasticity properties at all ratios with phase angle (8) values around 25° at all proteins contents. At the same time the yield of preparation of multiple emul-... 

Place 0 5 ml. of acetone, 20 ml. of 10% aqueous potassium iodide solution and 8 ml. of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in a 50 ml. conical flask, and then add 20 ml. of a freshly prepared molar solution of sodium hypochlorite. Well mix the contents of the flask, when the yellow iodoform will begin to separate almost immediately allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then filter at the pump, wash with cold w ater, and drain thoroughly. Yield of Crude material, 1 4 g. Recrystallise the crude iodoform from methylated spirit. For this purpose, place the crude material in a 50 ml. round-bottomed flask fitted with a reflux water-condenser, add a small quantity of methylated spirit, and heat to boiling on a water-bath then add more methylated spirit cautiously down the condenser until all the iodoform has dissolved. Filter the hot solution through a fluted filter-paper directly into a small beaker or conical flask, and then cool in ice-water. The iodoform rapidly crystallises. Filter at the pump, drain thoroughly and dry. 

Calculation of Yield. The yield of a compound obtained in an organic preparation, in addition to being stated in grams, should also be calculated as a percentage of the yield theoretically possible from the weight of the original... 

When the ij hours boiling is complete, preheat a Buchner funnel and flask by pouring some boiling water through the funnel with the filter-paper already in position, and then quickly filter the boiling solution. Transfer the filtrate to a beaker to cool, and then wash the insoluble residue of diphenylurea on the filter twice with hot water, and drain thoroughly. Cool the filtrate in ice-water the monophenylurea separates as colourless needles. Filter at the pump and drain well. Recrystallise the crude product from boiling water, as in the previous preparation. Yield of monophenylurea, 2 5-3 g. m.p. 147°. 

Carry out this preparation precisely as described for the a-compound, but instead of zinc chloride add 2 5 g. of anhydrous powdered sodium acetate (preparation, p. 116) to the acetic anhydride. When this mixture has been heated on the water-bath for 5 minutes, and the greater part of the acetate has dissolved, add the 5 g. of powdered glucose. After heating for I hour, pour into cold water as before. The viscous oil crystallises more readily than that obtained in the preparation of the a-compound. Filter the solid material at the pump, breaking up any lumps as before, wash thoroughly with water and drain. (Yield of crude product, io o-io 5 g.). Recrystallise from rectified spirit until the pure -pentacetylglucose is obtained as colourless crystals, m.p- 130-131° again two recrystallisations are usually sufficient for this purpose. 

The preparation can be shortened by omitting this stage and extracting the black residue by boiling it first with the water already present in the flask. In this case the yield of p-nitrophenol is increased somewhat, but the product is usually verv dark in colour. 

In view of the high cost of methyl iodide in the above preparation of anisole, and the fact that, unless absolute methanol is used, the ready hydrolysis of the methyl iodide may cause a low yield of the ether, the preparation of anisole may be ad antageously replaced by that of phenetole. I he reaction is not of course a methylation, but is nevertheless of the same type as that used in the preparation of anisole. 

The cost of this preparation (particularly for large classes) can be appreciably reduced by using a solution of 20 g. of sodium hydroxide in 25 ml. of water, in place of the potassium hydroxide solution. In this case, however, the product on standing overnight forms a very hard mass, which should be dissolved in tcarm water. The yields of alcohol and acid are unchanged. 

While the sodium ethoxide solution is cooling, prepare a solution of 7 7 g. of finely powdered iodine in 60 ml. of ether. When this solution is ready, add 9 ml. (9 6 g.) of ethyl malonate to the ethanolic sodium ethoxide solution, mix w ell and then allow to stand for 30-60 seconds not longer) then cautiously add the ethereal solution of the iodine, mixing thoroughly during the addition in order to avoid local overheating by the heat of the reaction. (If, after the ethyl malonate has been added to the sodium ethoxide, a considerable delay occurs before the iodine is added, the yield of the final product is markedly decreased.)... 

Two modifications (A) and (B) of this preparation are given (B) is the simpler but gives a smaller yield of the phosphite,... 

Isopropanol has been used in the above experiment because it gives a greater yield of the phosphite than ethanol gives of diethyl hydrogen phosphite. The latter, b.p. 74 /i4 mm., can be prepared by replacing the isopropanol in the above experiment by 29 ml. (23 g.) of ethanol. 

In order to obtain an improved yield of the desired product, an excess over the proportion required by the chemical equation of one (or more) of the reactants is often used. In a given preparation, the selection of the reagent to be employed in excess will depend upon a number of factors these include its relative cost and ease of removal after the reaction, and... 

The following tertiary alcohols may be prepared from the appropriate Grignard reagent and diethyl carbonate in yields of 75-80 per cent. 

In a 250 ml. separatory funnel place 25 g. of anhydrous feri.-butyl alcohol (b.p. 82-83°, m.p. 25°) (1) and 85 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid (2) and shake the mixture from time to time during 20 minutes. After each shaking, loosen the stopper to relieve any internal pressure. Allow the mixture to stand for a few minutes until the layers have separated sharply draw off and discard the lower acid layer. Wash the halide with 20 ml. of 5 per cent, sodium bicarbonate solution and then with 20 ml. of water. Dry the preparation with 5 g. of anhydrous calcium chloride or anhydrous calcium, sulphate. Decant the dried liquid through a funnel supporting a fluted Alter paper or a small plug of cotton wool into a 100 ml. distilling flask, add 2-3 chips of porous porcelain, and distil. Collect the fraction boiling at 49-51°. The yield of feri.-butyl chloride is 28 g. 

Allyl Chloride. Comparatively poor yields are obtained by the zinc chloride - hydrochloric acid method, but the following procedure, which employs cuprous chloride as a catalyst, gives a yield of over 90 per cent. Place 100 ml. of allyl alcohol (Section 111,140), 150 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 2 g. of freshly prepared cuprous chloride (Section II,50,i one tenth scale) in a 750 ml. round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser. Cool the flask in ice and add 50 ml. of concen trated sulphuric acid dropwise through the condenser with frequent shaking of the flask. A little hydrogen chloride may be evolved towards the end of the reaction. Allow the turbid liquid to stand for 30 minutes in order to complete the separation of the allyl chloride. Remove the upper layer, wash it with twice its volume of water, and dry over anhydrous calcium chloride. Distil the allyl chloride passes over at 46-47°. 

The residue in the flask may be mixed with the aqueous layer of the first distillate, 40 g. of isopropyl alcohol added, and the slow distillation repeated. The yield of crude isopropyl bromide in the second distillation is only slightly less than that obtained in the original preparation. Subsequently most of the residual hydrobromic acid may be recovered by distillation as the constant boiling point acid (126°). 

I) A slightly better yield of ester can be obtained by increasing the quantity of acetic acid to 90-120 g. and refluxing for 12-18 hours. This modification is not worth while in a student s preparation. 

Preparation of silver maleate. Dissolve 65 g. of pure maleic acid (Section 111,143) in the calculated quantity of carefully standardised 3-5N aqueous ammonia solution in a 1-htre beaker and add, whilst stirring mechanically, a solution of 204 g. of silver nitrate in 200 ml. of water. Filter oflf the precipitated silver maleate at the pump, wash it with distilled water, and press well with the back of a large flat glass stopper. Dry in an electric oven at 50-60° to constant weight. The yield of the dry silver salt is 150 g. Store in a vacuum desiccator in the dark. 

Ethyl cyctopropane-carboxylate. Use 22 g. of cyciopropane-carb-oxyhc acid (Section V,33) and 40 g. (24-5 ml.) of redistiUed thionyl chloride to prepare the acid chloride, b.p. 118-119° (22 g.). Treat the latter with 10-1 g. of absolute ethyl alcohol. The yield of ethyl cyclo-propane-carboxylate, b.p. 132-133°, is 13 g. 

The reaction is applicable to the preparation of amines from amides of aliphatic aromatic, aryl-aliphatic and heterocyclic acids. A further example is given in Section IV,170 in connexion with the preparation of anthranilic acid from phthal-imide. It may be mentioned that for aliphatic monoamides containing more than eight carbon atoms aqueous alkaline hypohalite gives poor yields of the amines. Good results are obtained by treatment of the amide (C > 8) in methanol with sodium methoxide and bromine, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting N-alkyl methyl carbamate ... 

Amino acids may be prepared by the action of a large excess of concentrated ammonia solution upon a-chloro- or a-bromo-acids the presence of a considerable amount of ammonium carbonate often increases the yield of monoamino acid, for example ... 

The vanadium pentoxide catalyst Is prepared as follows Suspend 5 g. of pure ammonium vanadate in 50 ml. of water and add slowly 7 5 ml. of pure concentrated hydrochloric acid. Allow the reddish-brown, semi-colloidal precipitate to settle (preferably overnight), decant the supernatant solution, and wash the precipitate several times by decantation. Finally, suspend the precipitate in 76 ml. of water and allow it to stand for 3 days. This treatment renders the precipitate granular and easy to 6lter. Filter the precipitate with suction, wash it several times with cold 5 p>er cent, sodium chloride solution to remove hydrochloric acid. Dry the product at 120° for 12 hours, grind it in a mortar to a fine powder, and heat again at 120° for 12 hours. The yield of catalyst is about 3 - 5 g. 

If pure triphenylchloromethane and freshly prepared sodium amalgam are used, the yield of sodium triphenyl-methide should be almost quantitative but is usually 0 15 mol per htre (1). The reagent should be used as soon as possible after its preparation. 

Note on the laboratory preparation of monoethylaniline. Although the laboratory preparation of monomethyl- or monoethyl-aniline is hardly worth whUe, the following experimental details may be useful to those who wish to prepare pure monoethylaniline directly from amline. In a flask, fitted with a double surface reflux condenser, place 50 g. (49 ml.) of aniline and 65 g. of ethyl bromide, and boU gently for 2 hours or until the mixture has almost entirely sohdified. Dissolve it in water and boil off the small quantity of unreacted ethyl bromide. Render the mixture alkaUne with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, extract the precipitated bases with three 50 ml. portions of ether, and distil off the ether. The residual oil contains anihne, mono- and di-ethylaniline. Dissolve it in excess of dilute hydrochloric acid (say, 100 ml. of concentrated acid and 400 ml. of water), cool in ice, and add with stirring a solution of 37 g. of sodium nitrite in 100 ml. of water do not allow the temperature to rise above 10°. Tnis leads to the formation of a solution of phenyl diazonium chloride, of N-nitrosoethylaniline and of p-nitrosodiethylaniline. The nitrosoethylaniline separates as a dark coloured oil. Extract the oil with ether, distil off the ether, and reduce the nitrosoamine with tin and hydrochloric acid (see above). The yield of ethylaniline is 20 g.
