Iron(III) Chloride Iron(III) chloride Iron(III) chloride is the inorganic compound with the Iron(III) chloride formula (FeCl3). Also called ferric chloride, it is a common compound of iron in the +3 oxidation state. The anhydrous compound is a crystalline solid with a melting point of 307.6 °C. The color depends on the viewing angle: by reflected light the crystals appear dark green, but by transmitted light they appear purple-red.

Infobox references 2. Oxidation of iron(II) chloride with chlorine 3. Oxidation of iron(II) chloride with oxygen Small amounts can be produced by reacting iron with hydrochloric acid, then with hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide is the oxidant in turning ferrous chloride into ferric chloride Anhydrous iron(III) chloride cannot be obtained from the hydrate by heating. Instead, the solid decomposes into HCl and iron oxychloride. The conversion can be accomplished by treatment with thionyl chloride.[12] Similarly, dehydration can be effected with trimethylsilyl chloride:[13] Reactions Iron(III) chloride undergoes hydrolysis to give a strongly acidic solution.[14][9] When heated with iron(III) oxide at 350 °C, iron(III) chloride gives iron oxychloride, a layered solid and intercalation host.[15] The anhydrous salt is a moderately strong Lewis acid, forming adducts with Lewis bases such as triphenylphosphine oxide; e.g., A brown, acidic solution of iron(III) FeCl3(OPPh3)2 where Ph is phenyl. It also reacts with other chloride − − chloride salts to give the yellow tetrahedral [FeCl4] ion. Salts of [FeCl4] in hydrochloric acid can be extracted into diethyl ether. Redox reactions Iron(III) chloride is a mild oxidising agent, for example, it is capable of oxidising copper(I) chloride to copper(II) chloride. It also reacts with iron to form iron(II) chloride: [16] A traditional synthesis of anhydrous ferrous chloride is the reduction of FeCl3 with chlorobenzene: With carboxylate anions 3− Oxalates react rapidly with aqueous iron(III) chloride to give [Fe(C2O4)3] . Other carboxylate salts form complexes; e.g., citrate and tartrate. With alkali metal alkoxides Alkali metal alkoxides react to give the metal alkoxide complexes of varying complexity.[17] The compounds can be dimeric or trimeric.[18] In the solid phase a variety of multinuclear complexes have [19][20] been described for the nominal stoichiometric reaction between FeCl3 and sodium ethoxide: With organometallic compounds Iron(III) chloride in ether solution oxidizes methyl lithium LiCH3 to give first light greenish yellow lithium tetrachloroferrate(III) LiFeCl4 solution and then, with further addition of methyl lithium, [21][22] lithium tetrachloroferrate(II) Li2FeCl4: The methyl radicals combine with themselves or react with other components to give mostly ethane C2H6 and some methane CH4. Uses Industrial Iron(III) chloride is used in sewage treatment and drinking water production as a coagulant and [23] flocculant. In this application, FeCl3 in slightly basic water reacts with the hydroxide ion to form a floc of iron(III) hydroxide, or more precisely formulated as FeO(OH)− , that can remove suspended materials. It is also used as a leaching agent in chloride hydrometallurgy,[24] for example in the production of Si from FeSi (Silgrain process).[25] Another important application of iron(III) chloride is etching copper in two-step redox reaction to copper(I) chloride and then to copper(II) chloride in the production of printed circuit boards.[26] Iron(III) chloride is used as catalyst for the reaction of ethylene with chlorine, forming ethylene dichloride (1,2-dichloroethane), an important commodity chemical, which is mainly used for the industrial production of vinyl chloride, the monomer for making PVC. Laboratory use In the laboratory iron(III) chloride is commonly employed as a Lewis acid for catalysing reactions such as chlorination of aromatic compounds and Friedel–Crafts reaction of aromatics. It is less powerful than aluminium chloride, but in some cases this mildness leads to higher yields, for example in the alkylation of benzene: The ferric chloride test is a traditional colorimetric test for phenols, which uses a 1% iron(III) chloride solution that has been neutralised with sodium hydroxide until a slight precipitate of FeO(OH) is formed.[27] The mixture is filtered before use. The organic substance is dissolved in water, methanol or ethanol, then the neutralised iron(III) chloride solution is added—a transient or permanent coloration (usually purple, green or blue) indicates the presence of a phenol or enol.

  • REARRANGEMENTS of ALLENES and ACETYLENES by MICHAEL
    REARRANGEMENTS OF ALLENES AND ACETYLENES by MICHAEL McPHERSON Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 1983 I ,•,1. tTAI Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. I.H. Sadler for his assistance and encouragement, and the Staff and Technical Staff of the Chemistry Department for their assistance throughout the period of this work. I also wish to thank my parents for their support and encouragement. Finally I wish to thank Mrs. C.G. Ranken for her excellent typing of this thesis. Abstract of Thesis This thesis describes the preparation of alkynyl derivatives of fluorene via reaction of the fluorenyl anion (generated with phenyl lithium) with alkynyl halides. Low pressure vapour phase pyrolysis of these compounds was carried out. Propargylic fluorenes gave allenyl fluorenes by an intramolecular sigmatropic shift with other, radical derived, products predominating at higher temperatures.. The alkynyl fluorenes were themselves resistant to rearrangement by base but the allenyl fluorenes rearranged readily on alumina to give dibenzofulvenes. A number of alkynyl derivatives of indene were prepared by first generating the indenyl anion with sodamide in liquid ammonia or by aqueous alkali under phase transfer catalysis conditions. The anion thus generated was then. reacted with alkynyl halides. Propargylic indenes gave allenyl indenes on pyrolysis and it is shown that the allenes are produced by an intramolecular sigmatropic. shift or a 'Cope' rearrangement depending on the nature of the alkynyl indene. The alkynyl indenes rearrange by base to give benzofulvenes. The benzo- fulvenes were produced as mixtures of geometric isomers some of which were separable. The individual isomers or mixtures of isomers were characterised largely by use of high field 'H n.m.r.
