[2] Through a variety of mechanisms, the removal of a hydride equivalent converts a primary or secondary alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone, respectively. The oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids normally proceeds via the corresponding aldehyde, which is transformed via an aldehyde hydrate ( gem -diol, R-CH(OH) 2 ) by reaction with ...
This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.
Isopropyl alcohol (IUPAC name propan-2-ol and also called isopropanol or 2-propanol) is a colorless, flammable, organic compound with a pungent alcoholic odor. [9]Isopropyl alcohol, an organic polar molecule, is miscible in water, ethanol, and chloroform, demonstrating its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances including ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, oils, alkaloids, and natural ...
Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) can be used as HOCl scavenger whose byproducts do not interfere in the Pinnick oxidation reaction: HOCl + H 2 O 2 → HCl + O 2 + H 2 O. In a weakly acidic condition, fairly concentrated (35%) H 2 O 2 solution undergoes a rapid oxidative reaction with no competitive reduction reaction of HClO 2 to form HOCl. HClO 2 ...
Propionaldehyde may also be prepared by oxidizing 1-propanol with a mixture of sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate.The reflux condenser contains water heated at 60 °C, which condenses unreacted propanol, but allows propionaldehyde to pass.
The polymerization rate is adjusted by suitable choice of temperature and type of peroxide. [10] Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, benzoyl peroxide and to a smaller degree acetone peroxide are used as initiators for radical polymerization of some thermosets, e.g. unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins, often encountered when making fiberglass ...
It uses hydrogen donor compounds such as formic acid, isopropanol or dihydroanthracene, dehydrogenating them to CO 2, acetone, or anthracene respectively. [1] Often, the donor molecules also function as solvents for the reaction. A large scale application of transfer hydrogenation is coal liquefaction using "donor solvents" such as tetralin. [2 ...
Hydrogen peroxide is the oxidant in the hydrogen peroxide to propylene oxide (HPPO) process, catalyzed by a titanium-doped silicalite: C 3 H 6 + H 2 O 2 → C 3 H 6 O + H 2 O; In principle, this process produces only water as a side product. In practice, some ring-opened derivatives of PO are generated. [12]
