We suppose that increasing the basicity of XnPy is beneficial for the stability of Pd0 during RDS described by Equation (5) (see also step I in Scheme 1) but, on the other hand, the very basic pyridine ligand competes with Y-C6H4NO2 for access to the catalytic centre.

E3 ,2,3 1Faculty of Science Industrial Chemistry Department Ebonyi State University Abakaliki, Nigeria Abstract : The preparation of indigo dye intermediates was carried out using 2, 4-dinitrophenol, 2- aminopyridine and 2-methoxy-5-nitroaniline as starting materials or reactants in the search for new indigo dye intermediates. Approximately 0.5 mole of 2, 4-dinitrophenol, 0.42 mole of 2- aminopyridine and 0.2 mole of 2- methoxy-5-nitroaniline, were treated separately with appropriate quantity of chloroacetic acid and sodium hydroxide pellets using nitrobenzene a high boiling liquid as solvent. The products that resulted: 2, 4- dinitrophenoxyacetic acid, pyridylglycine and 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenylglycine were purified using solvent extraction, activated carbon and column chromatography to reveal different amorphous powders in each case. Their structures were established by spectral analysis: ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV), infrared spectroscopy (IR), mass spectrometry (MS), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) and carbon- 13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C-NMR). Keywords: Analysis, Dye, Extraction, Intermediates, Precursors, Solvent I. Introduction The sources of organic raw materials for the synthetic dyes are mainly coal tar distillate from petroleum industry. These primary raw materials are benzene, toluene, o-, m- and p- xylenes naphthalenes anthracene etc [1]. A great variety of inorganic chemicals are also used as well. In some cases, laboratory preparation of the required compound may act as the sources of the raw material.

  • Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just Like an Alkene, Benzene Has Clouds of  Electrons Above and Below Its Sigma Bond Framework
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just like an alkene, benzene has clouds of electrons above and below its sigma bond framework. Although the electrons are in a stable aromatic system, they are still available for reaction with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized (but not aromatic). This cation is called a sigma complex because the electrophile is joined to the benzene ring through a new sigma bond. The sigma complex (also called an arenium ion) is not aromatic since it contains an sp3 carbon (which disrupts the required loop of p orbitals). Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page1 The loss of aromaticity required to form the sigma complex explains the highly endothermic nature of the first step. (That is why we require strong electrophiles for reaction). The sigma complex wishes to regain its aromaticity, and it may do so by either a reversal of the first step (i.e. regenerate the starting material) or by loss of the proton on the sp3 carbon (leading to a substitution product). When a reaction proceeds this way, it is electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are a wide variety of electrophiles that can be introduced into a benzene ring in this way, and so electrophilic aromatic substitution is a very important method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page2 Bromination of Benzene Bromination follows the same general mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Bromine itself is not electrophilic enough to react with benzene. But the addition of a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), such as FeBr3, catalyses the reaction, and leads to the substitution product.

(b) The chemical shift of the benzene protons is at considerably greater chemical shift because benzene is aromatic and 1,4-cyclohexadiene is not. 16.6 (b) Among other features, the NMR spectrum of 1-bromo-4-ethylbenzene has a typical ethyl quartet and a typical para-substitution pattern for the ring protons, as shown in Fig. 16.3, text p. 747, whereas the spectrum of (2- bromoethyl)benzene should show a pair of triplets for the methylene protons and a complex pattern for the ring protons. If this isn’t enough to distinguish the two compounds, the integral of the ring protons relative to the integral of the remaining protons is different in the two compounds. 16.7 (b) The IR spectrum indicates the presence of an OH group, and the chemical shift of the broad NMR resonance (d 6.0) suggests that this could be a phenol. The splitting patterns of the d 1.17 and d 2.58 resonances show that the compound also contains an ethyl group, and the splitting pattern of the ring protons shows that the compound is a para-disubstituted benzene derivative.

  • The Kinetics of Aromatic Nitration

Mahajani, and Vinay A. Juvekar* Our hypothesis is that nitrobenzene forms microemulsion Abstract—Nitration reactions are generally conducted above a critical concentration of sulfuric acid (> ca 80% using mixed acid. These are extremely exothermic, and w/w) and the critical loading of nitrobenzene. Nitrobenzene tend to run away. Our study show that the reaction is is a polar molecule and in the presence of concentrated more complex than it is generally believed. We have sulfuric acid, its polarity may get enhance due to the provided some preliminary evidence to show that association of the nitro-group with hydrogen ions. It is nitrobenzene, above a critical concentration of sulfuric therefore likely that beyond a critical concentration of the acid exists forms microemulsion at ambient acid, nitrobenzene tends to aggregate with nitro-group temperatures. This hypothesis is consent with anomalous exposed to sulfuric acid and aromatic groups shield from the solubility of nitro-aromatics in concentrated sulfuric acid. The important evidence for this hypothesis is the sudden acid. There is also formation of Winsor III-phases. In this increase in the solubility nitrobenzene in sulfuric acid beyond work we have studied kinetics of nitration of 80% w/w concentration. We also show below the existence nitrobenzene (NB) (below solubility limits) in of Winsor three phases in nitrobenzene-sulfuric acid-water concentrated sulfuric acid ( > 82% w/w) and found that system.
