The stability of haloacetonitriles decreases and the hydrolysis rate increases with increasing pH and number of halogen atoms in the molecule: The monochloroacetonitriles are the most stable and are also less aected by pH-changes, while the trihaloacetonitriles are the least stable and most sensitive to pH changes. The stability of haloacetonitriles also increases by substitution of chlorine atoms with bromine atoms. The hydrolysis rates in dierent buer solutions follow ®rst order kinetics with a minimum hydrolysis rate at intermediate pH. Thus, haloacetonitriles have to be preserved in weakly acid solutions between sampling and analysis. The corresponding haloacetamides are formed during hydrolysis and in basic solutions they can hydrolyze further to give haloacetic acids. Linear free energy relationship can be used for prediction of degradation of haloacetonitriles

  • Dehydrogenation of Ethanol to Acetaldehyde Over Different Metals Supported on Carbon Catalysts
    catalysts Article Dehydrogenation of Ethanol to Acetaldehyde over Different Metals Supported on Carbon Catalysts Jeerati Ob-eye , Piyasan Praserthdam and Bunjerd Jongsomjit * Center of Excellence on Catalysis and Catalytic Reaction Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand; [email protected] (J.O.-e.); [email protected] (P.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +66-2-218-6874 Received: 29 November 2018; Accepted: 27 December 2018; Published: 9 January 2019 Abstract: Recently, the interest in ethanol production from renewable natural sources in Thailand has been receiving much attention as an alternative form of energy. The low-cost accessibility of ethanol has been seen as an interesting topic, leading to the extensive study of the formation of distinct chemicals, such as ethylene, diethyl ether, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate, starting from ethanol as a raw material. In this paper, ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde in a one-step reaction was investigated by using commercial activated carbon with four different metal-doped catalysts. The reaction was conducted in a packed-bed micro-tubular reactor under a temperature range of 250–400 ◦C. The best results were found by using the copper doped on an activated carbon catalyst. Under this specified condition, ethanol conversion of 65.3% with acetaldehyde selectivity of 96.3% at 350 ◦C was achieved. This was probably due to the optimal acidity of copper doped on the activated carbon catalyst, as proven by the temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD). In addition, the other three catalyst samples (activated carbon, ceria, and cobalt doped on activated carbon) also favored high selectivity to acetaldehyde (>90%).

  • ACETIC ACID and ACETIC ANHYDRIDE (November 1994)
    Abstract Process Economics Program Report 37B ACETIC ACID AND ACETIC ANHYDRIDE (November 1994) This Report presents preliminary process designs and estimated economics for the manufacture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride by carbonylation technology. The three processes evaluated in this report include Monsanto’s low pressure carbonylation of methanol process (BP Chemical acquired licensing rights to this process in 1985), Eastman’s process for carbonylation of methyl acetate to produce acetic anhydride (methanol added to the reaction mixture results in the coproduction of acetic acid in this process), and a process based on BP Chemical patents that coproduces acetic acid and acetic anhydride via carbonylation of methyl acetate in the presence of water. Both the Eastman and BP Chemical processes are back– integrated into the manufacture of the methyl acetate feedstock from methanol and acetic acid. We have included a discussion of other commercialized acetic acid and acetic anhydride processes as well as potential new processes. A list of the world’s acetic acid and acetic anhydride producers along with their estimated plant capacities and a description of the major acetic acid and acetic anhydride markets are also included in this Report. This Report will be useful to producers of acetic acid and acetic anhydride, as well as to producers of methanol and downstream products such as vinyl acetate monomer.

Purpose The principal aims of this experiment are to provide background information about and experience in: S the synthesis and electronic structure of ferrocene (1), ( -C5H5)2Fe [bis(pentahaptocyclopentadienyl) iron]2 S the synthesis of an ionic liquid, as environment for the acetylation of ferrocene S the use of inert atmospheres (including glove box techniques) S recrystallization or sublimation S the use of GC/MS and thin-layer chromatography as analytical tools and column chromatography as a purification technique • the concepts of Green Chemistry such as Atom Economy3 and alternative non-polluting solvents Ferrocene is a historically important molecule. The initial recognition of the structure of 4 C10H10Fe in 1951 spawned a vast area of chemistry, viz., transition metal organometallic chemistry. This field is still developing and has produced a huge number of compounds in which saturated, unsaturated, and aromatic organic fragments are bonded directly to metals. All carbon atoms in the two cyclopentadienyl rings are equally bonded to the central ion by electrons in the rings. The sandwich structure proposed by Wilkinson and Fischer5,6 (Nobel prize in 1973) in early 1 Mircea D. Gheorghiu designed the experiment to include the acetylation of ferrocene in ionic liquid. 2 The word hapto means in Greek to fasten. Pentahapto therefore, is to be taken as “fastened in five places.” The greek letter followed by a superscript indicates how many atoms of the ligand are attached to the metal.

China *Corresponding author: Fax: +86 351 6111178; Tel: +86 351 60105503; E-mail: [email protected] Received: 14 March 2013; Accepted: 17 May 2013; Published online: 15 January 2014; AJC-14570 The process of acetic acid catalysis and chlorination for synthesizing chloroacetic acid can exist in not only gas phase but also liquid phase. In this paper, the gas-phase reaction mechanism of the synthesis of chloroacetic acid was studied. Due to the high concentration of acetic acid and the better reaction mass transfer in the liquid-phase reaction, the generation amount of the dichloroacetic acid was higher than that in the gas-phase reaction. Under the solution distillation, the concentration of acetyl chloride, whose boiling point is very low, was very high in the gas phase, sometimes even up to 99 %, which would cause the acetyl chloride to escape rapidly with the hydrogen chloride exhaust, so that the reaction slowed down. Therefore, series reactions occured easily in the gas-phase reaction causing the amount of the dichloroacetic acid to increase. Keywords: Gas phase, Catalysis, Chlorination, Chloroacetic acid, Acetic acid. INTRODUCTION Martikainen et al.3 summed up the reaction mechanism that was consistent with a mechanism found by Sioli according Chloroacetic acid is not only a fine chemical product but to the system condition experiment and systematic theoretical also an important intermediate in organic synthesis.
