Ethane-1,2-dithiol, also known as EDT, [1] is a colorless liquid with the formula C 2 H 4 2. It has a very characteristic odor which is compared by many people to rotten cabbage . It is a common building block in organic synthesis and an excellent ligand for metal ions.
Maximum concentrations in use that are generally recognised as safe (GRAS) is five parts per million (ppm) but typical uses are around 0.2 ppm. [1] It is supplied as a 1% solution in ethanol, due to its strong offensive smell. [2] In the diluted form with 4% ethyl acetate and ethanol the CAS number is 69382-62-3. [3]
Their stability contrasts with the rarity of geminal diols. Examples include methanedithiol, ethane-1,1-dithiol, and cyclohexane-1,1-dithiol. Upon heating, gem-dithiols often release hydrogen sulfide, giving the transient thioketone or thial, which typically convert to oligomers. [1]
Three of these alcohols, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-pentanol, and 3-methyl-2-butanol (methyl isopropyl carbinol), contain stereocenters, and are therefore chiral and optically active. The most important amyl alcohol is isoamyl alcohol , the chief one generated by fermentation in the production of alcoholic beverages and a constituent of fusel oil .
Sodium acetate trihydrate crystals melt at 58–58.4 °C (136.4–137.1 °F), [12] [13] dissolving in their water of crystallization [citation needed]. When they are heated past the melting point and subsequently allowed to cool, the aqueous solution becomes supersaturated .
2 CH 3 CO 2 H + NaOH → Na + [(CH 3 CO 2) 2 H] − + H 2 O. Also described as the sodium acid salt of acetic acid, it is best described as the sodium salt of the hydrogen-bonded anion (CH 3 CO 2) 2 H −. The O···O distance is about 2.47 angstrom. [2] The species has no significant existence in solution but forms stable crystals.
However a few derivatives are known. 3,4-Diethyl-1,2-dithietane 1,1-dioxide has one sulfur fully oxidised. Dithiatopazine is a tricyclic compound with the -S-S- as a bridge. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] 1,2-Dithietan-3-one, the ketone of 1,2-dithietane, was produced in 2008 by reacting α-dithiolactone with ethoxycarbonylformonitrile oxide .
ch 3 co 2 ch 3 + co → (ch 3 co) 2 o The Tennessee Eastman acetic anhydride process involves the conversion of methyl acetate to methyl iodide and an acetate salt. Carbonylation of the methyl iodide in turn produces acetyl iodide , which reacts with acetate salts or acetic acid to give the product.
