Consequently, pentanoic acid (valeric acid) has a higher boiling point than methyl butanoate. Here are the actual data: INSTRUCTOR SUPPLEMENTAL SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS • CHAPTER 21 2 21.7 (a) The carbonyl absorption of the ester occurs at higher frequency, and only the carboxylic acid has the characteristic strong, broad O—H stretching absorption in 2400–3600 cm–1 region. (d) In N-methylpropanamide, the N-methyl group is a doublet at about d 3. N-Ethylacetamide has no doublet resonances. In N-methylpropanamide, the a-protons are a quartet near d 2.5. In N-ethylacetamide, the a- protons are a singlet at d 2. The NMR spectrum of N-methylpropanamide has no singlets. 21.9 (a) The first ester is more basic because its conjugate acid is stabilized not only by resonance interaction with the ester oxygen, but also by resonance interaction with the double bond; that is, the conjugate acid of the first ester has one more important resonance structure than the conjugate acid of the second.

In our experiments, the droplets of Interactive Discussion these acids are completely liquid in the first cooling cycle with concentrations of Discussion Paper 7.3 wt% for succinic acid and 1.6 wt% for adipic acid, which is why they nucleate ice S1765 EGU homogeneously at temperatures below that of pure water. When the acids precipitate, the concentration of the remaining liquid corresponds to the equilibrium solubility at ACPD each temperature when the samples are cooled in the second cycle. Because of the 6, S1765–S1768, 2006 low solubility at lower temperatures we expect the observed rise in the homogeneous ice nucleation temperature when compared to the first cooling run.

  • Production of Adipic Acid from Mixtures of Cyclohexanol-Cyclohexanone Using Polyoxometalate Catalysts
    Makara J. Sci. 19/2 (2015), 85-90 doi: 10.7454/mss.v19i2.4778 Production of Adipic Acid from Mixtures of Cyclohexanol-Cyclohexanone using Polyoxometalate Catalysts Aldes Lesbani 1*, Sumiati 1, Mardiyanto 2, Najma Annuria Fithri 2, and Risfidian Mohadi 1 1.

Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Mathematic and Natural Sciences, Universitas Sriwijaya, Indralaya (OI), Sumatera Selatan 30662, Indonesia *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Adipic acid production through catalytic conversion of cyclohexanol-cyclohexanone using polyoxometalate H 5[α-BW 12 O40 ] and H 4[α-SiW 12 O40 ] as catalysts was carried out systematically. Polyoxometalates H 5[α-BW 12 O40 ] and H 4[α-SiW 12 O40 ] were synthesized using an inorganic synthesis method and were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Adipic acid was formed from conversion of cyclohexanol-cyclohexanone and was characterized by using melting point measurement, identification of functional group using FTIR spectrophotometer, analysis of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and 1H and 13 C NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectrophotometer. This research investigated the influence of reaction time and temperature on conversion. The results showed that adipic acid was formed successfully with a yield of 68% by using H 5[α-BW 12 O40 ] as catalyst at the melting point of 150-152 °C after optimization. In contrast, using H 4[α-SiW 12 O40 ] as catalyst, formation of adipic acid was only 3.7%. Investigation of time and temperature showed 9 h as the optimum reaction time and 90 °C as the optimum temperature for conversion of up to 68% adipic acid.

A solvent with two carboxyl groups could act as a physical crosslinker between the chitosan chains, resulting in improved properties of the fibers. The performance of adipic acid was compared with conventional solvents, i.e., lactic, citric, and acetic acids. Chitosan solutions were injected into a coagulation bath to form monofilaments. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and its mixture with ethanol (EtOH) were used as coagulation agents. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed the formation of uniform chitosan monofilaments with an even surface when using adipic acid as solvent. These Citation: Mohammadkhani, G.; monofilaments generally showed higher mechanical strength compared to that of monofilaments Kumar Ramamoorthy, S.; Adolfsson, produced using conventional solvents. The highest Young’s modulus, 4.45 GPa, was recorded for K.H.; Mahboubi, A.; Hakkarainen, M.; adipic acid monofilaments coagulated in NaOH-EtOH. This monofilament also had a high tensile Zamani, A.

    ISSN: 0973-4945; CODEN ECJHAO E-Journal of Chemistry http://www.ejchem.net 2012, 9(3), 1035-1035 A Convenient and Efficient Protocol for the Synthesis of Adipic Acid Catalyzed by ACC/Silica Gel under Ultrasound Irradiation ZHI-PING LIN Department of Biology and Chemistry, Baoding University, Baoding 071000, P. R. China. [email protected] Received 10 November 2011; Accepted 15 January 2012 Abstract: Adipic acid was synthesized from cyclohexanol oxidized by ACC/silica gel in 89% yield within 3 h at 300C under ultrasound irradiation. Keywords: adipic acid; ACC/silica gel; synthesis; ultrasound irradiation. Introduction Adipic acid is a most important organic synthetic intermediate, and mainly used for synthetic fibers: nylon-66, other fields can also be widely used, for example polyurethane, synthetic resin, leather, polyester foam, plastic plasticizers, lubricants, food additives, adhesives, pesticides, dyes, spices, medicine 1. The adipic acid was synthesized usually throughout the oxidation of cyclohexene, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone or a mixture of them or electro-oxidation of cyclohexanol 2, with nitric acid, potassium permanganate, molecular oxygen, ozone, sodium hypochlorite 3 as the oxidant. Much attention has been paid for its green synthesis process because of disadvantages in current technology. Hydrogen peroxide as a safe, gentle, clean, cheap and readily available oxidant, can replace traditional high-polluting oxidants in organic synthesis. But in these procedures, the expensive and complex catalysts for example, peroxotungstates and peroxomolybdates 4, ZSM-5 supported metal ions (M/ZSM-5) and N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) 5, heteropoly complexes 6, a carbon supported platinum catalyst 7, Ti-AlSBA15 catalysts 8, manganese diimine catalysts 9, Co-substituted β-zeolites catalysts 10, Iron- phthalocyanine on zeolite Y 11, tungstic acid/acidic organic additive 12, phosphotungstic acid 13 etc.
