This problem arose in connection with the commercial manufacture of phenylhydrazine in the organic laboratories of the University of Illinois. The ordinary methods of preparation embodying the reductioi of diazobenzene with stannous chloride and hydrochloric acid, with zinc and an acid, treatment with sodium acid sulfite and subsequently zinc and acetic acid, and reduction with tin and hydrochloric acid, were tried and gave very poor results. In considering a better meth- od it was thought that sulfur dioxide might convert the benzene diaz- onium chloride into phenylhydrazine sulfonic acid which could then be decomposed to yield the free hydrazine. The fact that sulfur dioxide acted as a very efficient agent in the reduction of bromine to hydro- bromic acid, and also in the preparation of hydroxylamine from ni- trous acid suggested its use in this case. Upon introducing sulfur dioxide into a benzene diazonium chlor- ide solution a deep red compound separated out. As the literature held no satisfactory explanation for this reaction an investigation for the purpose of identifying the compound was begun. (3) II. HISTORICAL PART . From a preliminary examination of the red compound which had "been formed upon the introduction of sulfur dioxide into benzene di- i azonium chloride, there was suggested the work done by Kbnig on a reaction of this nature. KCnig treated an acid solution of benzene- diazonium chloride with a concentrated water solution of sulfur diox- ide at CP and observed that a red color gradually developed which re- sulted after some hours in the separation of a deep red solid. The solid separated out in voluminous flakes which upon filtering and washing with alcohol finally gave a dry, red powder. Xonig extract- ed this product with boiling chloroform, adding some bone-black.

The repetition was the hydrazine ^E^mm30 z 6E 5 could be no more than a side work proved to us that this hydrazine had thrown no light upon the product in the reaction, and that it (4) nature of the red compound. After a complete analysis had given us the C I\r empirical formula 1 gH11 4S03lIa for the yellow sodium salt of the red acid, and a reduction of the acid itself had given a clue to its structural formula, we could then review the literature systematical- ly. It was found that Troeger had prepared the same red acid by a method differing somewhat from that used here. By diazotizing ani- line in a dilute sulfuric acid solution and then saturating- with sul- fur dioxide, he obtained the red compound with two side products. Troeger purified the acid by means of its ammonium salt and analyzed the free acid. Our analytical results were obtained from the reerys- tallized sodium salt. Troeger proved the structure of the red acid to be CgHgN:lI.GgHgliIHHHSOgH. His proof rested upon the decomposition products obtained upon reduction with zinc and acetic acid. These products were aniline CgHgNHg, p_-phenylene diamine, NEgCsH^THg, and ammonium sulfate. He also synthesized the acid by treating diazo- tized amidoazobenzene with potassium carbonate and potassium sulfite, adding ammonium sulfide to the potassium salt of azobenzene-diazosul- fonic acid CgHgN :1JC 6H4N :lISOgK (which had formed in the first step) and freeing the azobenzene-p-phenylhydrazine sulfonic acid with hyd- rochloric acid. The second step: C5H5IJ ilI.CgH^.H :HSOgK to CgHgBiIJ.CgH^IIHUHSOgK took place easily when ammonium sulfide was added. When the hydrazine acid, on the other hand, was treated with ammoniacal silver nitrate or copper sulfate the latter reaction was reversed and the respective silver and copper salts of azobenzene- diazosulfonic acid were formed. Troeger attempted to improve his method of preparation of azo- benzene p-phenylhydrazine sulfonic acid by diazotizing aniline sul- (5) fate with amyl nitrite. This was done in glacial acetic acid solu- tion with subsequent saturation with sulfur dioxide. The method, how ever, yielded only the sulfazid CGH5NHNHSO2C6H5 and consequently was abandoned. Following these experiments, Troeger extended his investigation to a further study of azobenzene-p_-phenylhydrazine sulfonic acid. G 12H llK4S°3H(GgH5M2) was prepared^, and also the para toluidine and para xylidine salts. The action of nitrous acid upon azobenzene-p- phenylhydrazine sulfonic acid was found to yield the compound GsHsNiHGgj^lJ^ which stannous chloride reduced to aniline, p-phenyl diamine, and nitrogen. Troeger next studied the condensations of the red acid with cer- tain aldehydes and ketones. He worked first with aromatic compounds and later took up certain ones of the aliphatics. Condensations in alcoholic hydrochloric acid or in e:lacial acetic acid gave, respect- ively, the sulfate or hydrochloride addition products corresponding to the aldehydes used. With benzald ehyde , G^HsCHO/he obtained the hydrochloride C 5H 5N : IJC 5H4NEN : CHC5H5.HCI. Chloro benzald ehyde , bromo- benzaldehyde, p-aminobenzaldehyde , hydroxybenzaldehyde, furfuralde- 7 hyde, etc., were tried and yielded sulfate addition products from which the free hydrazone was liberated by addition of ammonium hydrox- ide. In all cases the free hydrazones were yellow or reddish yellow crystalline products while hydrochlorides or sulfates of these hylra- zones were dark blue in color but also of crystalline structure. II mention was made in any of Troeger 's publications in regard to the possibilities of using these compounds as dyestuffs. Troeger also studied the condensations of several aliphatic al- dehydes and ketones with azobenzene-p-phenylhydrazine sulfonic acid. (6) He found these condensations to proceed even more easily than did the aromatics, but the isolation of the free hydraaones gave great diffi- culty on account of their solubility. Such was also found to be the case in the present work with, the sugars. Troeger obtained hydra- zones with acetone, acetylacetone , chloracetaldehyde , and ethylace- toacetate. With dextrose in alcoholic hydrochloric acid, he prepared the hydrochloride C^QHggOglJ^HCl but was unable to isolate the free hydrazcaie. He did not attempt to apply azobenzene-p-phenylhydrazine sulfonic acid to the general reactions with the sugars. (7) III.'iiiEOaSTICAL PA:\T When it was decided, in the organic manufacturing division of the University of Illinois to attempt the preparation of phenylhydrazine through its sulfonic acid by saturating benzene diazonium chloride with sulfur dioxide, the earlier work of Kt5nig seemed at first thou^it to eliminate this proposed method. KBnig had treated benzene diazon- ium chloride with a saturated water solution of sulfur dioxide and had obtained a deep red compound formed by a coupling reaction. On extracting the red compound with boiling chloroform Kbnig obtained a white crystalline hydrazine Cg^HHilHSC^CgHg which he apparently con- cluded to be the main product of the reaction.

However, the optimum yields of glycerol (11.6 mg/ml of whey permeate medium) obtained in this study occurred only in the presence of 1% Na2SO3 as a steering agent. The use of other concentrations of Na2SO3, as well as 5% NaCl and 1% ascorbic acid, had no or detrimental effects on cell growth, lactose utilization, and glycerol production. Glycerol yields were greater in cultures grown from a light inoculum of K. fragilis than in cultures in which a resuspended mass of cells was introduced into the medium. The results of this study suggest that this strain of K. fragilis may be useful commercially in the utilization of cheese whey lactose and the concomitant production of glycerol.

  • Empowering Alcohols As Carbonyl Surrogates for Grignard-Type Reactions
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19857-9 OPEN Empowering alcohols as carbonyl surrogates for Grignard-type reactions Chen-Chen Li 1, Haining Wang1, Malcolm M. Sim1, Zihang Qiu 1, Zhang-Pei Chen1, Rustam Z. Khaliullin1 & ✉ Chao-Jun Li 1 The Grignard reaction is a fundamental tool for constructing C-C bonds. Although it is widely used in synthetic chemistry, it is normally applied in early stage functionalizations owing to 1234567890():,; poor functional group tolerance and less availability of carbonyls at late stages of molecular modifications. Herein, we report a Grignard-type reaction with alcohols as carbonyl surro- gates by using a ruthenium(II) PNP-pincer complex as catalyst. This transformation proceeds via a carbonyl intermediate generated in situ from the dehydrogenation of alcohols, which is followed by a Grignard-type reaction with a hydrazone carbanion to form a C-C bond. The reaction conditions are mild and can tolerate a broad range of substrates. Moreover, no oxidant is involved during the entire transformation, with only H2 and N2 being generated as byproducts. This reaction opens up a new avenue for Grignard-type reactions by enabling the use of naturally abundant alcohols as starting materials without the need for pre-synthesizing carbonyls. 1 Department of Chemistry and FQRNT Centre for Green Chemistry and Catalysis, McGill University, 801 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal, QC H3A 0B8, ✉ Canada. email: [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2020) 11:6022 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19857-9 | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19857-9 n tandem with the significant advancements of biological and even be successfully applied in synergistic relay reactions29.

This research aims at studying the efficiency of electrochemical processes in reducing TNT. A laboratory scale reactor was designed and developed to electrochemically reduce TNT in simulated munition wastewater. Experiments simulating batch conditions were first conducted on the laboratory scale reactor to study the effect of various parameters including applied current, type of electrolyte and the molar concentration of the electrolyte in the feed solution on the reduction kinetics of TNT. The results showed that the reduction rates of TNT increased with an increase in applied current and molar concentration of electrolyte in feed. The rates of reduction leveled off at higher currents (250 & 300 mA). Mass transfer limitations were speculated for this flattening of rate constants at higher currents. Experimental studies were conducted with two types of electrolyte in the feed- sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and lithium sulfate (Li2SO4), and the results indicated that there was no significant difference in the reduction rates for TNT.

    J Wood Sci (2002) 48:419424 The Japan Wood Research Society 2002 Shi-Fa Wang Takeshi Furuno Zhi Cheng Synthesis of new betaine-type amphoteric surfactants from tall oil fatty acid Received: August 13, 2001 / Accepted: November 14, 2001 Abstract Two new betaine-type amphoteric surfactants moistening and foaming abilities. It can be widely used - betaine N,N-dihydroxyethyl-N-ethyl fatty acid ester in many fields, such as the chemical, textile, dye, pigment, and ammonium N-(fatty acid ester) ethyl-N,N-bis (2- food, pharmaceutical, machining, metallurgy, washing, and hydroxyethyl)-3-(2-hydroxypropyl) sulfonate - were syn- petroleum industries. It has been used as a detergent, moist- thesized using tall oil fatty acids as the raw materials. ening and foaming agent, corrosion inhibitor, dispersion Processing conditions suitable for synthesizing the inter- agent, germicide (bactericide), emulsifying agent, antistatic mediates and final products were probed. In addition, the and softening agent of fibers, a dye, a chelating agent, and a chemical structures of the intermediates and the final prod- cleaning agentY ucts were identified by infrared spectroscopy, hydrogen A betaine-type surfactant usually means that quaternary nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and elemental ammonium cationic groups and anionic groups such as analysis. --COO-, --SO3, --OSO3, and --PO2 coexist in the same molecule. It has excellent solubility over a wide range of pH Key words Tall oil fatty acid Amphoteric surfactant values. Its solubility does not obviously decrease even in an Betaine type isoelectric zone. In addition, unlike the external quaternary ammonium salt, the betaine-type surfactant is compatible with ionic surfactants. Among the betaine-type surfactants, Introduction the most important contain sulfonic and carboxylic groups because they have important commercial value and a wide application field.
