While we are claimed rubber as a compounding ingredient not certain as to the exact reason for this and which are obtainable in no other manner. l0 phenomena, it appears most probable that it is There are two general methods used in the pro due to the fact that whole tire scrap contains duction of reclaimed rubber; these are: the open relatively large amounts of compounding in-_ steam or pan process and the alkali process.

Further reduction proceeded when the reaction was carried out under reflux in tetrahydrofuran to give disulfide and thiophenol derivatives via sulfinic acid. Furthermore, sulfonamides were reduced with sodium borohydride by heating directly to give sulfide, disulfide and thiophenol derivatives, and diphenyl sulfone was reduced under similar conditions to give thiophenol and biphenyl. Keywords reduction; sodium borohydride; aromatic sulfonyl chloride; sulfonamide; sulfone; aromatic sulfinic acid; disulfide; sulfide; thiophenol Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) itself is a relatively mild reducing agent which is extensively used for the selective reduction of the carbonyl group of ketone, aldehyde and (carboxylic) acid halide derivatives. In the previous papers, we reported that NaBI-14 can reduce some functional groups, such as carboxylic anhydrides,2) carboxylic acids3) and nitro compounds.1) As a continuation of these studies, in the present paper, we wish to report the reduction of aromatic sulfonyl chlorides, sulfinic acids and sulfonamides with NaBH4.

  • CHAPTER 7 ALCOHOLS, THIOLS, PHENOLS, ETHERS 7.1 Alcohols
    CHAPTER 7 ALCOHOLS, THIOLS, PHENOLS, ETHERS Several new functional groups are presented in this chapter. All of the functions are based on oxygen and sulfur in the sp2 hybridized state. The functional groups contain two pairs of non-bonding electrons and are the cornerstone of many organic processes. The structures for alcohols, phenols, thiols, ethers and thioethers are shown below. Alkyl-OH Ph-OH Alkyl-SH R-O-R R-S-R alcohol phenol thiol ether thioether 7.1 Alcohols 7.1a Nomenclature Priorities in nomenclature Several functional groups have been encountered as we have advanced through the chapters. When a new functional group is presented, its nomenclature is always based on the parent name with an ending that designates the functional group. When several functional groups are present in a molecule, priority rules must be used to determine which function is the parent system that determines the numbering of the system and the suffix used in the final name. The priority list is as follows: carboxylic acids > aldehydes> ketones> alcohols > amines > alkene > alkyne > alkyl, halogen, nitro Thus a compound that contained hydroxy, alkene and ketone functions would be named as a ketone with the ketone getting the lowest number possible, and substituents are numbered accordingly and named in alphabetical order. Below the compound on the left is named as an alcohol, but the one on the right is named as a ketone even though both compounds have the seven carbon backbone. 124 Ch 7 Alcohols, Thiols, Phenols, Ethers OH OH Cl Cl O 7-chloro-3-hepten-2-ol 1-chloro-6-hydroxy-4-hepten-3-one OH has priority ketone has priority Alcohol Nomenclature Hydroxy compounds are encountered frequently in organic chemistry and the OH function is of high priority with only acids, aldehydes and ketones having higher priority.

In Final Form: September 19, 2004 Para-halosubstituted thiophenols (X-TPs, where X is Br, Cl, or F) form ordered islands and monolayers on Cu(111) at temperatures as low as 81 K. At incomplete coverages, all X-TPs adsorb with the dehydrogenated thiol group attached to the substrate and the substituted ring inclined toward the surface, as verified experimentally and theoretically. The structure of ordered islands has a pronounced dependence on the nature of the halogen substituent: while unsubstituted TP and pentafluoro-TP molecules do not self-assemble into extended ordered patterns at 81 K, X-TP molecules form a range of different structures which depend both on the size and electronegativity of the substituent, as well as on the coverage.

  • Draft Screening Assessment Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
    Draft Screening Assessment CAS RN 7783-06-4 CAS RN 16721-80-5 CAS RN 1313-8282 Draft Screening Assessment Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Sodium Sulfide (Na(SH)) and Sodium Sulfide (Na2S) Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers 7783-06-4 16721-80-5 1313-82-2 Environment and Climate Change Canada Health Canada September 2017 1 Draft Screening Assessment CAS RN 7783-06-4 CAS RN 16721-80-5 CAS RN 1313-82-2 Synopsis Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) (Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number [CAS RN1] 7783-06-4), sodium sulfide (Na(SH)), referred to as sodium bisulfide in this assessment (CAS RN 16721-80-5), and sodium sulfide (Na2S) (CAS RN 1313-82-2). These substances were identified as priorities for assessment as they met categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA. Hydrogen sulfide is a naturally occurring inorganic gas produced from the anaerobic degradation of organic matter and is therefore widely present in anaerobic sediments and water and in biological wastes. It is also found naturally in crude oil petroleum, natural gas, volcanic gases and hot springs and is released from these natural sources primarily to air and to water under specific environmental conditions. It can also be released as a result of anthropogenic activities.
