  • Aldehydes and Ketones
    12 Aldehydes and Ketones Ethanol from alcoholic beverages is first metabolized to acetaldehyde before being broken down further in the body. The reactivity of the carbonyl group of acetaldehyde allows it to bind to proteins in the body, the products of which lead to tissue damage and organ disease. Inset: A model of acetaldehyde. (Novastock/ Stock Connection/Glow Images) KEY QUESTIONS 12.1 What Are Aldehydes and Ketones? 12.8 What Is Keto–Enol Tautomerism? 12.2 How Are Aldehydes and Ketones Named? 12.9 How Are Aldehydes and Ketones Oxidized? 12.3 What Are the Physical Properties of Aldehydes 12.10 How Are Aldehydes and Ketones Reduced? and Ketones? 12.4 What Is the Most Common Reaction Theme of HOW TO Aldehydes and Ketones? 12.1 How to Predict the Product of a Grignard Reaction 12.5 What Are Grignard Reagents, and How Do They 12.2 How to Determine the Reactants Used to React with Aldehydes and Ketones? Synthesize a Hemiacetal or Acetal 12.6 What Are Hemiacetals and Acetals? 12.7 How Do Aldehydes and Ketones React with CHEMICAL CONNECTIONS Ammonia and Amines? 12A A Green Synthesis of Adipic Acid IN THIS AND several of the following chapters, we study the physical and chemical properties of compounds containing the carbonyl group, C O. Because this group is the functional group of aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids and their derivatives, it is one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry and in the chemistry of biological systems. The chemical properties of the carbonyl group are straightforward, and an understanding of its characteristic reaction themes leads very quickly to an understanding of a wide variety of organic reactions.

  • Quantitation of Hydrocarbons in Vehicle Exhaust and Ambient Air
    QUANTITATION OF HYDROCARBONS IN VEHICLE EXHAUST AND AMBIENT AIR by Randall Bramston-Cook Lotus Consulting 5781 Campo Walk, Long Beach, California 90803 Presented at EPA Measurement of Toxic and Related Air Pollutants Conference, Cary, North Caolina, September 1, 1998 Copyright 1998 Lotus Flower, Inc. QUANTITATION OF HYDROCARBONS IN VEHICLE EXHAUST AND AMBIENT AIR Randall Bramston-Cook Lotus Consulting 5781 Campo Walk, Long Beach, California 90803 ABSTRACT Ironically, one of the most complex analyses in gas chromatography involves the simplest computation to generate concentrations. The difficult determination of hydrocarbons in vehicle exhaust and ambient air involves separation of over 200 compounds, requires cryogenic concentration to bring expected concentrations into a detectable range, and mandates usage of multiple columns and intricate valving. Yet, quantitation of these hydrocarbons can be calibrated with only one or two component standards and a simple mathematical operation. Requirements for meeting this goal include: (1) even detector responses for all hydrocarbons from ethane to n-tridecane (including olefins and aromatics), (2) accurate and reproducible measure of the sample injection volumes, (3) maximizing trap, column and detector performances, and (4) minimizing sample carry-over. Importance of these factors and how they can be implemented in routine measurements are presented with examples from vehicle exhaust and ambient air analyses. TEXT Hydrocarbons remain a major pollutant in our atmosphere. Much of the problem generated is from incomplete combustion and unburned fuel in vehicle exhaust. Accurate measure of atmospheric and exhaust levels for hydrocarbons is on-going in many facilities in the world. This analysis is undoubtedly one of the most complex in chromatography due to large number of individual hydrocarbon components found, the low levels required to be measured, and high concentrations of potential inferences to the measuring process.

    BATCH: je3a29 USER: ckt69 DIV: @xyv04/data1/CLS_pj/GRP_je/JOB_i03/DIV_je030236t DATE: March 15, 2004 1 Vapor Pressures and Vaporization Enthalpies of the n-Alkanes from 2 C31 to C38 at T ) 298.15 K by Correlation Gas Chromatography 3 James S. Chickos* and William Hanshaw 4 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of MissourisSt. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri 63121, USA 5 6 The temperature dependence of gas-chromatographic retention times for henitriacontane to octatriacontane 7 is reported. These data are used in combination with other literature values to evaluate the vaporization 8 enthalpies and vapor pressures of these n-alkanes from T ) 298.15 to 575 K. The vapor pressure and 9 vaporization enthalpy results obtained are compared with existing literature data where possible and 10 found to be internally consistent. The vaporization enthalpies and vapor pressures obtained for the 11 n-alkanes are also tested directly and through the use of thermochemical cycles using literature values 12 for several polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Sublimation enthalpies are also calculated for hentriacontane to 13 octatriacontane by combining vaporization enthalpies with temperature adjusted fusion enthalpies. 14 15 Introduction vaporization enthalpies of C21 to C30 to include C31 to C38. 54 The vapor pressures and vaporization enthalpies of these 55 16 Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are important larger n-alkanes have been evaluated using the technique 56 17 environmental contaminants, many of which exhibit very of correlation gas chromatography. This technique relies 57 18 low vapor pressures. In the gas phase, they exist mainly entirely on the use of standards in assessment. Standards 58 19 sorbed to aerosol particles.

  • Amino Acid Catalyzed Direct Asymmetric Aldol Reactions: a Bioorganic Approach to Catalytic Asymmetric Carbon-Carbon Bond-Forming Reactions
    5260 J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 5260-5267 Amino Acid Catalyzed Direct Asymmetric Aldol Reactions: A Bioorganic Approach to Catalytic Asymmetric Carbon-Carbon Bond-Forming Reactions Kandasamy Sakthivel, Wolfgang Notz, Tommy Bui, and Carlos F. Barbas III* Contribution from The Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology and the Department of Molecular Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, California 92037 ReceiVed January 3, 2001 Abstract: Direct asymmetric catalytic aldol reactions have been successfully performed using aldehydes and unmodified ketones together with commercially available chiral cyclic secondary amines as catalysts. Structure- based catalyst screening identified L-proline and 5,5-dimethyl thiazolidinium-4-carboxylate (DMTC) as the most powerful amino acid catalysts for the reaction of both acyclic and cyclic ketones as aldol donors with aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to afford the corresponding aldol products with high regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities. Reactions employing hydroxyacetone as an aldol donor provide anti-1,2-diols as the major product with ee values up to >99%. The reactions are assumed to proceed via a metal-free Zimmerman- Traxler-type transition state and involve an enamine intermediate. The observed stereochemistry of the products is in accordance with the proposed transition state. Further supporting evidence is provided by the lack of nonlinear effects. The reactions tolerate a small amount of water (<4 vol %), do not require inert reaction conditions and preformed enolate equivalents, and can be conveniently performed at room temperature in various solvents. In addition, reaction conditions that facilitate catalyst recovery as well as immobilization are described. Finally, mechanistically related addition reactions such as ketone additions to imines (Mannich- type reactions) and to nitro-olefins and R,â-unsaturated diesters (Michael-type reactions) have also been developed.
