Zirconium phthalate

A small number of stable compounds have been produced with substituents at both peri and end positions. The first such system was the product of repeated application of a zirconium-mediated cyclization to phthalate ester 35, leading to the heavily substituted pentacene 36 in 11 steps (Scheme 3.8) [51]. Little discussion of the properties of this pentacene derivative was presented, but it was soluble and stable enough for complete characterization. This unusual approach to the synthesis of pentacene is one of the few to yield such high substitution. 

Removal of silica from the nitrate or chloride solution is desirable before, for example, any final solvent purification process. Methods have been based upon precipitation of zirconium sulphite, sulphate, phthalate, or oxychloride, etc. 

A similar hexone-thiocyanate process has been operated in the U.S.A., firstly by the Northwest Electrodevelopment Laboratories at Albany since 1952 and the Carborundum Metals Corporation plant near Akron, New York, since 1953. They use packed and unpacked columns and the difficulties associated with polymerization of thiocyanic acid were alleviated by using a solvent consisting of 80 per cent hexone and 20 per cent butyl acetate instead of solely hexone. > The zirconium product is precipitated as the acid sulphate, phthalate or salicylate, and a certain additional degree of purification is obtained at this stage. A typical analysis of pure zirconium oxide after hexone-thiocyanate extraction and salicylate precipitation is as follows ...
