134 R. Dunstan View Article Online / Journal Homepage / Table of Contents for this issue 134 IX.-On the Alleged Existence of a Second Nitroethane. By WYNDHAMR. DUNSTAN,Professor of Chemistry to the Pharma- ceutical Society, and T. S. DYMOND. IN 1873, Victor Meyer (Annalen, 171, 1-56) found that by the interaction of ethyl iodide and silver nitrite two compounds of the formula C2H,N02were produced. One of these he recognised as the previously known ethyl nitrite (b. p. 16*5"),the other as a new sub- stance (b. p. 113"),to which he gave the name of nitroethane. In this interaction much heat is evolved, and the temperature soon rises far above the boiling point of ethyl nitrite. In order to complete the change, the mixture is heated for some hours with a reflux condenser on a water-bath, when the greater part of the ethyl nitrite will escape unless special means are adopted to condense it ; some, how- ever, remains dissolved in the nitroethane, generally with a little ethyl iodide, and on fractionating the liquid a mixture of these three substances will distil below 100". According to Meyer, the two isomerides are formed in equal quantities. More recently the interaction of ethyl iodide and dry silver nitrite has been studied, under somewhat different conditions, by Kissel" (Journ. Russ. Chcm. Xoc., 1882, 226-230; and 1884, 135-140) ; he adds dry silver nitrite, in small quantities at a time, to the ethyl iodide cooled to O", until no further action ensues. The mixture is kept cool and shaken during one day, great care being taken to avoid Downloaded by University of Rochester on 12/04/2013 22:39:19. any permanent rise in temperature. Under these conditions, accord- Published on 01 January 1888 http://pubs.rsc.org | doi:10.1039/CT8885300134 ing to Kissel, no ethyl nitrite is formed, but when the mixture is dis- tilled, a considerable quantity of liquid comes over between 29" and :30°. This fraction is redistilled between 28" and 35O, washed with water, a solution of silver nitrate, and a weak sodium carbonate solution; it is then heated with silver nitrate, and distilled from dry calcium nitrate. The liquid, it is stated, now boils constantly at 29-30", and on combustion yields results agreeing with the formula C2HsN02. This substance is said to resemble in its properties both ethyl nitrite and nitroethane, but is characterised by its chemical reactions as a nitro-compound. It yields a crystalline sodium- derivative, is violently acted on by hydrochloric acid with the production of a new compound, and forms with solution of ferric chloride a blood-red colour, with solution of copper sulphate a clear * Kissel's papers hare been consulted in the original, and I must take this opportunity to thank my friend Sir Nicholas Elphinstone, to whom I am greatly indebted for a, translation from the Russian.-W.

As regards the nitroethane proper (b. p. 113"), of which, according to Meyer, half the total amount of liquid consists, Kissel alleges that a, yield of from 54 to 66 per cent. may be obtained by adopting the process he has described, the remainder of the liquid being the new isomeride. Kissel also claims to have obtained a corresponding com- poiind (b. p. 43-44") by the interaction of isopropyl iodide and silver nitrite. Kissel's description of the properties and reactions of the " second nitroethane " at once suggests the idea that it is merely a mixture of ethyl nitrite with nitroethane, although it is true that some of the alleged facts are inconsistent with this view. We have lately had occasion to prepare a comparatively large quantity of nitroethane, and we thought it worth while to repeat Kissel's experiments. Dry silver nitrite was gradually added to 180 grams of ethyl iodide cooled below 0", until there was no further evolution of heat, the mixture was then frequently agitated at a low temperature during one day. No gas escaped. The distillation flask containing the mixture was connected with a condenser, and the temperature slowly raised. Between 16" and 17" a gas was evolved which possessed all the properties of ethyl nitrite, It burned with a yellowish flame, was absorbed by alcohol, and a3tonce liberated iodine from an acid solution of potassium iodide, nitric oxide being set free. The apparatus was now connected with two bulb-condensers, and these were joined to two wash-bottles containing alcohol. Between 19" and 40" a small quantity of liquid condensed; it was tested for ethyl nitrite and nitroethane, both of Downloaded by University of Rochester on 12/04/2013 22:39:19. which were found ; the nitroethane was detected by first destroying Published on 01 January 1888 http://pubs.rsc.org | doi:10.1039/CT8885300134 the et,hyl nitrite with excess of an acid solution of ferrous sulphate, and then rendering the liquid alkaline with potash. The nlliaceous odour which we had previously observed (Chem. News, 56, 132) whenever nitroethane is reduced with ferrous hydroxide was quite distinct, and by distilling the liquid into diluted hydrochloric acid, and evaporating the distillate to dryness, the hydrochloride of a base was obtained. This was extracted with absolute alcohol and the alcoholic liquid precipitated with ether to remove ammonium chloride, after which the platinochloride was produced in the usual manner and analysed ; it contained 39.2 per cent. of platinum, and was thus proved to be ethylamine platinochloride. Between 40" and 80"' a considerable quantity of liquid distilled ; Che greater part was condensed in the first bulb, a little, however, was found in the second bulb, and this boiled at 17-18", con- sisting almost entirely of ethyl nitrite. Above 80" more liquid distilled and was separately collected. The fraction obtained between 40" and 80" was redistilled; at 16-17" ethyl nitrite passed over, View Article Online 136 THE ALLEGED EXISTENCE OF A SECOND NITROETHANE. between 18" and 30" the greater part distilled, a third fraction was collected between 30" and loo", and a fourth above 100". From the sub- joined table of results, arranged for convenience in the form of a tree, it will be seen that each of these fractions when redist<illedis resolved into liquids boiling at a lower and a higher temperature, and by repeatedly fractionating these liquids ethyl nitxite is obtained boiling at 16.5" and nitroethane boiling at 113'. When the fraction was too small to be redistilled, it was tested for ethyl nitrite and for nitro- ethane, both of which were invariably found. It was often difficult to ascertain exactly the temperature at which distillation commenced, Table showing the Results of the Fractional Distillation of the Liquid produced by the Interaction at O", of Ethyl Iodide and Xilver Kitrite.

We could discover no liquid which boiled con- stantly at 29" and 30"; the fraction obtained at this temperature be- haved both physically and chemically as a solution of ethyl nitrite in nitroethane. The alcohol in the wash-bottles attached to the bulb- condensers was renewed after each distillation, and when tested, every specimen contained more or less ethyl nitrite which had escaped con- densation. It was also noticed that when the original mixture was distilled some nitric oxide escaped, and later distillates contained a little acetic acid. We are justified in concluding from these results that the so- called '' second nitroethane '' is indistinguishable from a mixture, or solution, of the two known isomerides of the formula C2H,N02.

The po- tential of transition metals, especially silver and copper, to remove organic io- dides from the gas streams was also studied. Transition metals are one of the most interesting groups in the contex of iodine mitigation. For example silver is known to react intensively with iodine compounds. Silver is also relatively inert material and it is thermally stable. Copper is known to react with some radioio- dine species. However, it is not reactive toward methyl iodide. In addition, it is oxidized to copper oxide under atmospheric conditions. This may limit the in- dustrial use of copper.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Reactions of Tertiary Phosphites with Alkyl Iodides in Acetonitrile
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF LANE JOSEPH GOODELL for the MASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) in CHEMISTRY presented on Mcy Q\-\ `j CIL4 (Major) (Dates Title: REACTIONS OF TERTIARY PHOSPHITES WITH ALKYL IODIDES IN ACETONITRILE Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Dr. John Thdma Yoke III The Arbuzov reaction is an important method of synthesis of compounds containing a carbon -phosphorus bond. (RO)3P + R'X 1 [(RO)3PR')X],-- (RO)2P(0)R' + RX The intermediate might have a salt -like or a penta- coordinate type of structure, or both in equilibrium. In many systems, the rate determining step of the reaction is not known. A polar solvent might have a significant influence on these points. Although the reaction is normally carried out without a solvent, two groups of workers have studied the kinetics of the reaction in acetonitrile. These two groups published conflicting reports, speci- fically related to the system of tri -n -butyl phosphite with ethyl iodide in acetonitrile at 310 . The possibilities for the reaction to be considered in the present work were (1) olefin elimination from the tertiary phosphite to give a dialkyl hydrogen phosphonate, (2) inadvertent hydrolysis to give a dialkyl hydrogen phosphonate and an alcohol, (3) the Arbuzov reaction to give a dialkyl alkylphosphonate, and (4) no reaction. Assuming that it is the Arbuzov reaction which actually occurs for such reactants in acetonitrile, the previous reports were also in conflict as to the rate determining step. In the present work, it was found by qualitative and quantitative analysis of this system that the Arbuzov reaction occurs, but very slowly, contrary to one of the previous reports.

The most widely studied methods for nuclear power plants include the impregnated carbon filters and alkaline additives and sprays. It is indicated that some deficiencies of these methods may emerge. More reactive impregnants and additives could make a great improvement. As a new method in the field of nuclear applications, the potential of transition metals to decompose methyl iodide, is introduced in this review. This area would require an additional research, which could elucidate the remaining questions of the reactions. The ionization of the gaseous methyl iodide by corona-discharge reactors is also shortly described. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Dr Jorma Jokiniemi and Mr Ari Auvinen from VTT Energy. They have had patience and enthusiasm to guide me through this work. I wish to thank Prof. Kari Rissanen from University of Jyvaskyla. I thank also Mrs Riitta Zilliacus for the comments.

    A Thesis entitled SOME NOVEL CYANINE DYES submitted by Andrew Tze Chiu Liu for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London. Imperial College, July, 1961. London, S.W.7. Acknowledgments This work was carried out under the super— vision of Dr. J. A. Tlvidge to whom I am most grateful for his constant and generous help. I am indebted to the staff of the Micro— analytical Laboratory of this Department, under the direction of Miss J. Cuckney also to Mrs. A. I. Boston for the infrared absorption measurements and to Mr. J. Peppercorn for general aid. Finally I wish to express my thanks to Dr. E. B. Knott of Kodak and Co. for testing the photo— graphic sensitivity of some of the cyanine dyes resulting from this work. ABSTRACT The reactions of 1,3-di-iminoisoindoline with various active-methyl-substituted-quaternary-ammonium- salts in boiling butanol, pyridine, and nitroethane have been studied extensively. The products comprise a wide range of new cyanine dyes with absorption maxima from 405 to 735 which have an isoindolenine ring as part of the chromophoric path. These compounds are mostly obtained in high yields. Among pyridine, benzothiazole, quinoline and pyrimidine derivatives, the quinoline compounds gave the longest wave-length absorption maxima and best tinctorial values. The reaction of 3-imino-l-oxoisoindoline with 216-lutidine ethiodide gave a dinuclear cyanine with a terminal amide group. When this product was treated with potassium hydroxide, a merocyanine was obtained. 2-Aminopyridine ethiodide did not react with 1,3-di-iminoisoindoline or with 3-imino-l-oxoiso- indoline in either boiling butanol or pyridine, but 2-amino-6-methylbenzothiazole ethiodide and 2,6-diamino- pyridine ethiodide reacted readily with these hetero- cyclic imines.
