  • Thiophosphation of 2-Methyl-2-Nitro-L-Propanol and the Preparation of Monothiophosphoric Acid J
    Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards Vol. 48, No. 4, April 1952 Research Paper 2318 Thiophosphation of 2-Methyl-2-Nitro-l-Propanol and the Preparation of Monothiophosphoric Acid J. V. Karabinos, R. A. Paulson, and W. H. Smith The thiophosphation of a nitroalcohol was studied in ether and in pyridine solution. When 2-methyl-2-nitro-l-propanol was refluxed with phosphorus pentasulfide in ether, the corresponding dithiophosphate was formed. In pyridine solution, however, a pyridine salt of the secondary dithiophosphate was formed. A pyridine salt of metatrithophosphoric acid was also isolated from the latter reaction, and this salt was hydrolyzed to pyridinium monothiophosphate. Monothiophosphoric acid monohydrate itself was obtained, for the first time, by application of ion-exchange and lyophilizing techniques to its pyridine salt. 1.

    SOLVENTS AND SOLUTES FOR THE PREPARATION OF IMMERSION LIQUIDS OF HIGH INDEX OF REFRACTION* Roennr lVlBvnowrrz, U.S.GeologicalSurley, Washington25, D. C. Assrnacr The types of compounds that should be suitable as solvents and solutes for the prepara- tion of immersion liquids of high index of refraction are covalent inorganic, organic, and metal-organic compounds containing the nonmetallic elements of the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine groups of the periodic table, and mercury and thallium. Many of these compounds have already been used to make immersion liquids of. high index of refraction. Other compounds of these types that might be suitable are suggested. X{ost of the developmental work on immersion liquids of high index of refraction has generally been either one of trial and error or an exten- sion of an earlier experimenter's work. The purpose of this paper is to define the types of inorganic and organic compounds that are most Iikely to be suitable as solvents and solutes in the preparation of liquids of high index of refraction. Practical considerations such as solubility, stability, and toxicity will limit the use of individual compounds and small groups of compounds although their indices of refraction may be high. D6verin (193a) has listed 12 extensivegroups of organic compounds which he consideredfertile fields for investigation becausethese groups of compounds would tend to have relatively high indices of refraction. Liquids of high index of refraction will generally be composed of sub- stancesthat have high indices of refraction. fn the preparation of these Iiquids the solvent should be a liquid of relatively high index of refrac- tion, or a solid of high index of refraction whose melting point is very ciose to room temperature, so that if one dissolves some solute in it, the freezing point will be depressedbelow room temperature and a liquid will result.
