Salt metathesis is a common technique for exchanging counterions. The choice of reactants is guided by a solubility chart or lattice energy. HSAB theory can also be used to predict the products of a metathesis reaction. Salt metathesis is often employed to obtain salts that are soluble in organic solvents.
Using salt metathesis reactions, nitrite, azide, and other small inorganic anions can be obtained with [(Ph 3 P) 2 N] + cations. The resulting salts [(Ph 3 P) 2 N] + NO − 2, [(Ph 3 P) 2 N] + N − 3, etc. are soluble in polar organic solvents. [(Ph 3 P) 2 N] + forms crystalline salts with a range of anions that are otherwise difficult to ...
Metal thiolate complexes are commonly prepared by reactions of metal complexes with thiols (RSH), thiolates (RS −), and disulfides (R 2 S 2). The salt metathesis reaction route is common. In this method, an alkali metal thiolate is treated with a transition metal halide to produce an alkali metal halide and the metal thiolate complex:
Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) is a quaternary ammonium salt with a bromide commonly used as a phase transfer catalyst. [4] It is used to prepare many other tetrabutylammonium salts by salt metathesis reactions. The anhydrous form is a white solid. [2]
In some reactions between highly reactive metals (usually from Group 1 or Group 2) and highly electronegative halogen gases, or water, the atoms can be ionized by electron transfer, [16] a process thermodynamically understood using the Born–Haber cycle. [17] Salts are formed by salt-forming reactions. A base and an acid, e.g., NH 3 + HCl → ...
The reaction is driven by the low solubility of potassium chlorate in water. The equilibrium of the reaction is shifted to the right hand side by the continuous precipitation of the product (Le Chatelier's Principle). The precursor sodium chlorate is produced industrially in very large quantities by electrolysis of sodium chloride, common table ...
Of considerable practical value in the dye industry are the diazo coupling reactions. The reaction of phenyldiazonium salts with aniline gives 1,3-diphenyltriazene. [3] The structure of the salt has been verified by X-ray crystallography. The N-N bond distance is 1.083(3) Å. [4]
The Petasis reagent is prepared by the salt metathesis reaction of methylmagnesium chloride or methyllithium [2] with titanocene dichloride: [3] Cp 2 TiCl 2 + 2 CH 3 MgCl → Cp 2 Ti(CH 3) 2 + 2 MgCl 2. This compound is used for the transformation of carbonyl groups to terminal alkenes. It exhibits similar reactivity to the Tebbe reagent and ...
