In the Arens–van Dorp synthesis the compound ethoxyacetylene [7] is converted to a Grignard reagent and reacted with a ketone, the reaction product is a propargyl alcohol. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] The Isler modification is a modification of Arens–Van Dorp Synthesis where ethoxyacetylene is replaced by β -chlorovinyl ethyl ether and lithium amide .
In organic synthesis, the complex diethylaniline·borane (DEANB) is used as a reducing agent. [4] Diethylaniline and dimethylaniline are both used as acid-absorbing bases. The advantage to the diethyl derivative is that [C 6 H 5 NEt 2 H]Cl is non-hygroscopic, in contrast to [C 6 H 5 NMe 2 H]Cl. [5]
Oxygen and the organic phase react under formation of the anthraquinone and hydrogen peroxide. Among other alkyl groups (R) ethyl-and tert-butyl-are used, e.g., 2-ethylanthraquinone. [2] [3] The hydrogen peroxide is then extracted with water and in a second step separated by fractional distillation from the water. The hydrogen peroxide ...
Ethylamine is used as a precursor chemical along with benzonitrile (as opposed to o-chlorobenzonitrile and methylamine in ketamine synthesis) in the clandestine synthesis of cyclidine dissociative anesthetic agents (the analogue of ketamine which is missing the 2-chloro group on the phenyl ring, and its N-ethyl analog) which are closely related ...
It has been reported that formate can be formed by the electrochemical reduction of CO 2 (in the form of bicarbonate) at a lead cathode at pH 8.6: [24] HCO − 3 + H 2 O + 2e − → HCO − 2 + 2OH −. or CO 2 + H 2 O + 2e − → HCO − 2 + OH −. If the feed is CO 2 and oxygen is evolved at the anode, the total reaction is: CO 2 + OH − ...
The Monsanto process is an industrial method for the manufacture of acetic acid by catalytic carbonylation of methanol. [1] The Monsanto process has largely been supplanted by the Cativa process, a similar iridium-based process developed by BP Chemicals Ltd, which is more economical and environmentally friendly.
Acetic anhydride, or ethanoic anhydride, is the chemical compound with the formula (CH 3 CO) 2 O. Commonly abbreviated Ac 2 O, it is the simplest isolable anhydride of a carboxylic acid and is widely used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It is a colorless liquid that smells strongly of acetic acid, which is formed by its reaction with ...
Hydrogenation produces both 2-ethylanthrahydroquinone and tetrahydroanthraquinone. The tetrahydro derivative of 2-alkylanthraquinone is easily hydrogenated but is more difficult to oxidize. The formation of the tetrahydro derivative can be suppressed through the selection of catalysts, solvents, and reaction conditions.
