Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils
Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils V. I. Babushok,a) P. J. Linstrom, and I. G. Zenkevichb) National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA (Received 1 August 2011; accepted 27 September 2011; published online 29 November 2011) Gas chromatographic retention indices were evaluated for 505 frequently reported plant essential oil components using a large retention index database. Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

Safety Assessment of Alkyl Esters As Used in Cosmetics
PINK Safety Assessment of Alkyl Esters as Used in Cosmetics CIR EXPERT PANEL MEETING DECEMBER 10-11, 2012 Memorandum To: CIR Expert Panel Members and Liaisons From: Monice M. Fiume MMF Senior Scientific Analyst/Writer Date: November 16, 2012 Subject: Amended Safety Assessment of Alkyl Esters as Used in Cosmetics Enclosed in the Amended Safety Assessment of Alkyl Esters as Used in Cosmetics. The status of this document is draft tentative amended report for CIR Expert Panel Review. This report was tabled at the September meeting so that historical use data from reports on ingredients previously reviewed by CIR could be added to the safety assessment. You will find these data incor- porated into Table 8. Incorporation of the historical data into the table allows the Panel a side-by-side comparison of the concentration reported when determining safety in the original safety assessments compared to the use data submitted with the current re-review. Increases in reported concentrations are highlighted. Also at the September meeting, the Panel deleted 16 alkyl ethylhexanoates from the report. Concern about the possible fetotoxicity of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, a possible metabolite of the ethylhexanoates, led to a determination that these ingredients are not “no brainers” and therefore, the ethylhexanoates should not be included in this review. The following unpublished data have been received since the last review. These data, which are included under the data tab of this submission, have been incorporated. 1.

Zn-Nx Sites on N-Doped Carbon for Aerobic Oxidative Cleavage
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-25118-0 OPEN Zn-Nx sites on N-doped carbon for aerobic oxidative cleavage and esterification of C(CO)-C bonds ✉ ✉ Chao Xie1, Longfei Lin 2, Liang Huang 3, Zixin Wang1, Zhiwei Jiang 1, Zehui Zhang1 & Buxing Han 2 Selective cleavage of C-C bonds is very important in organic chemistry, but remains chal- lenging because of their inert chemical nature. Herein, we report that Zn/NC-X catalysts, in 1234567890():,; which Zn2+ coordinate with N species on microporous N-doped carbon (NC) and X denotes the pyrolysis temperature, can effectively catalyze aerobic oxidative cleavage of C(CO)-C bonds and quantitatively convert acetophenone to methyl benzoate with a yield of 99% at 100 °C. The Zn/NC-950 can be applied for a wide scope of acetophenone derivatives as well as more challenging alkyl ketones. Detail mechanistic investigations reveal that the catalytic performance of Zn/NC-950 can be attributed to the coordination between Zn2+ and N species to change the electronic state of the metal, synergetic effect of the Zn single sites with their surrounding N atoms, as well as the microporous structure with the high surface area and structural defects of the NC. 1 Key Laboratory of Catalysis and Energy Materials Chemistry of Ministry of Education & Hubei Key Laboratory of Catalysis and Materials Science, South- Central University for Nationalities, Wuhan, China. 2 Beijing National Laboratory for Molecular Sciences, CAS Key Laboratory of Colloid, Interface and Chemical Thermodynamics, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China. 3 The State Key Laboratory of Refractories and Metallurgy, ✉ Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China. -
Working with Hazardous Chemicals
A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk. Organic Syntheses, Inc., its Editors, and its Board of Directors do not warrant or guarantee the safety of individuals using these procedures and hereby disclaim any liability for any injuries or damages claimed to have resulted from or related in any way to the procedures herein. -

Covalent Bonding - Benzoic Acid from Ethyl Benzoate by Base Hydrolysis C1031 Expt 2
Covalent Bonding - Benzoic Acid from Ethyl Benzoate by Base Hydrolysis C1031 Expt 2 EXPERIMENT 2: Covalent Bonding - Benzoic Acid from Ethyl Benzoate by Base Hydrolysis Introduction Ethyl benzoate (boiling point 211-213°C, melting point -34°C) belongs to a class of compounds called esters. It is a sweet smelling, colourless, liquid used in perfumery under the name Essence de Niobe; in the manufacture of Peau d’Espagne; and as an artificial fruit essence. It is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. When ethyl benzoate is shaken with water two liquid layers form. The upper layer is ethyl benzoate (less dense) and the lower layer is water. There is no clear indication of any reaction taking place. A more careful study shows that ethyl benzoate reacts very slowly with water and is hydrolyzed1 to give benzoic acid and ethanol but the reaction does not go to completion. However, ethyl benzoate is found to react much faster with aqueous sodium hydroxide, the reaction going to completion, to give sodium benzoate (water soluble) and ethanol (miscible with water). - + O O CH2 CH3 O O Na (aq) C C + NaOH(aq) + CH3 CH2 OH Reaction 1 ethyl benzoate aqueous sodium hydroxide sodium benzoate ethanol (C9H10O2) (C7H5O2Na) This process is called base hydrolysis (or saponification) of an ester and is used in this experiment to first obtain sodium benzoate solution, and then benzoic acid from ethyl benzoate. The ethanol may be recovered by simple downward distillation from the reaction mixture and collected as a solution in water. But this step is omitted in this experiment to allow it to be completed in the available time. -

Summary. hen ethers are obtained by the action of alcohols upon the addition products of chloral and wazefa- or prim-nitro-aniline. The vi-nitro-aniline product gave ethers with methyl, ethyl, wpropyl, n-butyl and iso-amyl alcohols. The p-nitro-aniline product gaye ethers only with methyl and ethyl alcohols. In these cases the amine was made to react with the chloral alcoholate. No ethers of the higher alcohols could be obtained. ('l14PT:L HILL,N. -
Experiment 5 Carboxylic Acids and Saponification of Methyl Benzoate
Experiment 5 Carboxylic Acids and Saponification of Methyl Benzoate In the first part of this experiment you are going to evaluate the solubility of salicylic acid in water, hot water and in the presence of aqueous NaOH. As you would expect carboxylic acids should react with water to form a water soluble carboxylate anion but solubility is also dependent of the size of the alkyl or aryl group attached to the carboxylic acid functional group. In general the following acid-base reaction occurs: - + R-COOH + H2O RCOO (aq) + H3O (aq) The structure for salicylic acid is given below: OH C OH O Salicylic acid Additionally, carboxylic acids react with bases to form water soluble salts as shown below: - + R-COOH + NaOH (aq) RCOO Na (aq) + H2O Note that salicylic acid contains, in addition to the carboxylic acid functional group, a phenol group hydrogen that can also be titrated by base. The resultant sodium carboxylate/phenolate salt can further react with acids to reform the free acid (COOH) and phenol (Ph-OH) as shown below: R-COO-Na+ (aq) + HCl (aq) RCOOH + NaCl (aq) Ph-O-Na+ (aq) + HCl (aq) Ph-OH + NaCl (aq) The use of bases and acids serves as solubility switches to convert an insoluble form of a compound to a soluble form and vice versa. Observing the solubility or insolubility of reactants and/or products serves as a means to monitor acid base reactions. The concept of a solubility switch will also serve as the basis for following the base (NaOH) catalyzed hydrolysis (saponification) reaction of an ester (methyl benzoate) to the subsequent water soluble carboxylate salt (sodium benzoate) and alcohol (methanol). -
Methyl Benzoate
CHM230 - Preparation of Methyl Benzoate Preparation of Methyl Benzoate Introduction The ester group is an important functional group that can be synthesized in a number of different ways. The low-molecular-weight esters have very pleasant odors and indeed are the major components of the flavor and odor aspects of a number of fruits. Although the natural flavor may contain nearly a hundred different compounds, single esters approximate the natural odors and are often used in the food industry for artificial flavors and fragrances. Esters can be prepared by the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst such as concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrogen chloride, p-toluenesulfonic acid, or the acid form of an ion exchange resin: This Fischer esterification reaction reaches equilibrium after a few hours of refluxing. The position of the equilibrium can be shifted by adding more of the acid or of the alcohol, depending on cost or availability. The mechanism of the reaction involves initial protonation of the carboxyl group, attack by the nucleophilic hydroxyl, a proton transfer, and loss of water followed by loss of the catalyzing proton to give the ester. In this experiment you will prepare methyl benzoate by reacting benzoic acid with methanol using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. Since this is a reversible reaction, it will reach an equilibrium that is described by the equilibrium constant, Keq . For this experiment, you will isolate the product, methyl benzoate, and any unreacted benzoic acid. Using this data, you will calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction (see calculation section below).
