Department of Special Collections and University Archives, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif. Biographical/Historical Sketch University research scientist and industrialist, Djerassi is most famous for synthesizing the first oral contraceptive. Born in Vienna, Austria, in 1923, he emigrated to the United States in 1939. He received his B.A. in 1942 from Kenyon College and worked briefly with the Ciba Phamaceutical Company before receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

    A Facile Procedure for the Generation of Dichlorocarbene from the Reaction of Carbon Tetrachloride and Magnesium Using Ultrasonic Irradiation

    Molecules 2003, 8, 608-613 molecules ISSN 1420-3049 http://www.mdpi.org A Facile Procedure for the Generation of Dichlorocarbene from the Reaction of Carbon Tetrachloride and Magnesium using Ultrasonic Irradiation Haixia Lin *, Mingfa Yang, Peigang Huang and Weiguo Cao Department of Chemistry, Shanghai University, Shanghai, 200436, P.R. China *Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: e-mail [email protected] Received: 7 April 2003; in revised form: 7 July 2003 / Accepted: 20 July 2003 / Published: 31 July 2003 Abstract: An improved method for the generation of dichlorocarbene was developed that utilizes ultrasound in the reaction of carbon tetrachloride with magnesium. High yields of gem-dichlorocyclopropane derivatives can be obtained in the presence of olefins by this method. Keywords: Dichlorocarbene; gem-dichlorocyclopropanes; ultrasonic irradiation; olefin addition; magnesium Introduction Gem-dichlorocyclopropanes are valuable intermediates in organic synthesis [1,2]. They are typically prepared by the addition of dichlorocarbene to olefins under phase-transfer catalysis conditions [3-5]. Sonochemical generation of dichlorocarbene has also been reported [6-8]. The reactions of dichlorocarbene with olefins in solid-liquid two-phase systems using ultrasonication usually afford high yields of double-bond addition products. In addition, excellent yields of diadducts have been obtained from dienes and dichlorocarbene under ultrasonication and phase-transfer catalyst [9]. Molecules 2003, 8 609 Previously, we reported a novel route for the generation of dichlorocarbene by the reaction of carbon tetrachloride with magnesium in a neutral medium and hypothesized that the mechanism of these reactions might involve a single electron transfer [10]. However, these reactions suffered from several experimental drawbacks: some of the major ones being the sudden exotherm that occurs after an unpredictable induction period, foaming, and in some cases, the use of iodine as the activating agent.

    Chloroform 18.08.2020.Pdf

    Chloroform Chloroform, or trichloromethane, is an organic compound with formula CHCl3. It is a colorless, sweet-smelling, dense liquid that is produced on a large scale as a precursor to PTFE. It is also a precursor to various refrigerants. It is one of the four chloromethanes and a trihalomethane. It is a powerful anesthetic, euphoriant, anxiolytic and sedative when inhaled or ingested. Formula: CHCl₃ IUPAC ID: Trichloromethane Molar mass: 119.38 g/mol Boiling point: 61.2 °C Density: 1.49 g/cm³ Melting point: -63.5 °C The molecule adopts a tetrahedral molecular geometry with C3v symmetry. Chloroform volatilizes readily from soil and surface water and undergoes degradation in air to produce phosgene, dichloromethane, formyl chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen chloride. Its half-life in air ranges from 55 to 620 days. Biodegradation in water and soil is slow. Chloroform does not significantly bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. Production:- In industry production, chloroform is produced by heating a mixture of chlorine and either chloromethane (CH3Cl) or methane (CH4). At 400–500 °C, a free radical halogenation occurs, converting these precursors to progressively more chlorinated compounds: CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl CH3Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl Chloroform undergoes further chlorination to yield carbon tetrachloride (CCl4): CHCl3 + Cl2 → CCl4 + HCl The output of this process is a mixture of the four chloromethanes (chloromethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride), which can then be separated by distillation. Chloroform may also be produced on a small scale via the haloform reaction between acetone and sodium hypochlorite: 3 NaClO + (CH3)2CO → CHCl3 + 2 NaOH + CH3COONa Deuterochloroform[ Deuterated chloroform is an isotopologue of chloroform with a single deuterium atom.

    The Life and Achievements of Robert Burns Woodward Long Literature Seminar July 13, 2009 Erika A. Crane “The structure known, but not yet accessible by synthesis, is to the chemist what the unclimbed mountain, the uncharted sea, the untilled field, the unreached planet, are to other men. The achievement of the objective in itself cannot but thrill all chemists, who even before they know the details of the journey can apprehend from their own experience the joys and elations, the disappointments and false hopes, the obstacles overcome, the frustrations subdued, which they experienced who traversed a road to the goal. The unique challenge which chemical synthesis provides for the creative imagination and the skilled hand ensures that it will endure as long as men write books, paint pictures, and fashion things which are beautiful, or practical, or both.” “Art and Science in the Synthesis of Organic Compounds: Retrospect and Prospect,” in Pointers and Pathways in Research (Bombay:CIBA of India, 1963).
