HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE BEING EXPOSED The New Jersey Right to Know Act requires most employers to label chemicals in the workplace and requires public employers to provide their employees with information and training concerning chemical hazards and controls. The federal OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 1910.1200, requires private employers to provide similar training and information to their employees. * Exposure to hazardous substances should be routinely evaluated. This may include collecting personal and area air samples. You can obtain copies of sampling results from your employer.

Interstellar Ices and Radiation-induced Oxidations of Alcohols R. L. Hudson and M. H. Moore Astrochemistry Laboratory, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, 20771, USA; [email protected] Received 2017 May 2; revised 2018 March 8; accepted 2018 March 9; published 2018 April 18 Abstract Infrared spectra of ices containing alcohols that are known or potential interstellar molecules are examined before and after irradiation with 1 MeV protons at ∼20 K. The low-temperature oxidation (hydrogen loss) of six alcohols is followed, and conclusions are drawn based on the results. The formation of reaction products is discussed in terms of the literature on the radiation chemistry of alcohols and a systematic variation in their structures. The results from these new laboratory measurements are then applied to a recent study of propargyl alcohol. Connections are drawn between known interstellar molecules, and several new reaction products in interstellar ices are predicted.

W. Reppeil has obtained the satisfactory results in the synthesis of propargyl alcohol in a continuous process, while the unsuccessful result has been reported so far as a continuous process is adoptedzl. Therefore, it is expected that the synthesis of propargyl alcohol as the main product is difficult in com- parison with the case of butynediol. From the previous studies on the kinetics of the reaction of acetylene with aqueous formaldehyde solutiona~^>and the synthesis of butynediol in a continuous process sl, the results of the investigations on the propargyl alcohol synthesis are summarized as follows. The rate, the apparent equilibrium concentration of propargyl alcohol and the ratio in moles of the quantity of the propargyl alcohol formed to that of formaldehyde consumed, PfF increase when acetylene pressure is raised. In the cases where pH is low and the methanol content contained in an aqueous formaldehyde solution is high, the concentration of propargyl alcohol formed and P/F come to exceed the cases where pH is high and the methanol content is low, though the reaction rate is slow at the earlier stage.

A diversity of reactions involving the acetylene molecule to carry out vinylation processes, cross-coupling reactions, synthesis of substituted alkynes, preparation of heterocycles and the construction of a number of functionalized molecules with different levels of molecular complexity were recently studied. Of particular importance is the utilization of acetylene in the synthesis of pharmaceutical substances and drugs. The increasing interest in acetylene and its involvement in organic transformations highlights a fascinating renaissance of this simplest alkyne molecule. Keywords: acetylene; vinylation; cross-coupling; addition reactions; drugs; pharmaceutical substances; biologically active molecule; monomers; polymers 1. Introduction Since the discovery of acetylene, new areas of acetylene chemistry have been continuously developed. The rich scope of chemical transformations available for a C≡C triple bond can be exemplified by coupling [1–5] and addition reactions [6,7].

  • Nomination Background: Propargyl Alcohol (CASRN: 107-19-7)
    SUMMARY OF DATA FOR CHEMICAL SELECTION PROPARGYL ALCOHOL CAS No. 107-19-7 BASIS OF NOMINATION TO THE CSWG The nomination of propargyl alcohol to the CSWG is based on high production volume, exposure potential, and suspicion of potential carcinogenicity. Dr. Elizabeth Weisburger, a member of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) TLV Committee as well as the Chemical Selection Working Group (CSWG), provided a list of 281 chemical substances with ACGIH recommended TLVs for which there were no long-term studies cited in the supporting data and no designations with respect to carcinogenicity. She presented the list to the Chemical Selection Planning Group (CSPG) for evaluation as chemicals which may warrant chronic testing; it was affirmed at the CSPG meeting held on August 9, 1994, that the 281 "TLV Chemicals" be reviewed as a Class Study. As a result of the class study review, propargyl alcohol is presented as a candidate for testing by the National Toxicology Program because of: • potential for occupational exposures based on moderately high production volume • evidence of occupational exposures based on TLV and other literature documentation • potential for human exposures based on hazardous waste occurrences in environmental media • suspicion of carcinogenicity based on mixed results in available short-term assays for genetic toxicity and liver and kidney changes in subchronic mammalian toxicity studies • lack of chronic toxicity data. Sources of human exposure to propargyl alcohol are mainly occupational; and the exposure potential is considered moderate based on an estimated U.S. annual production volume range of 0.5 to 2.8 million pounds, an estimate of 54,358 worker exposures (19,933 female) reported in the NOES database, and characterization of propargyl alcohol as a moderately volatile liquid identified in air, water, and soil.

We found that the 5 ruthenium(II) complex [Cp*RuCl(diene)] (Cp* = η -C5Me5; diene = isoprene or 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod)) catalyzes dimerization of 1,1-diphenylprop-2-yn-1-ol (1,1-diphenylpropargyl alcohol, 1a) at room temperature to afford an alkylidenebenzocyclobutenyl alcohol 2a quantitatively. Meanwhile, a stoichiometric reaction of the related hydrido complex [Cp*RuH(cod)] with 1a at 50 ◦C led to isolation of a ruthenocene derivative 4 bearing a cyclopentadienyl ring generated by dehydrogenative trimerization of 1a. Detailed structures of 2a and 4 were determined by X-ray crystallography. The reaction mechanisms for the formation of 2a and 4 were proposed. Keywords: ruthenium; alkyne; propargyl alcohol; C–H cleavage; benzocyclobutene 1. Introduction Propargyl alcohol and their derivatives have been attractive starting materials in synthetic organic chemistry [1–7].
