Although .)ther members of the group contributed in, varying degrees to the effort described herein, the @uses reported on were the respowibillty of: 8. August 1954 In September, 3.953, a group of men representing various scie~tificand engineering fields embarked on the twelve months of study whieh culminated in this repork. For nine of these months, formal claeeroom and etudent laboratory work occupied their Lime. At the end of that period, MA student; group wae presented with a problem in reactor design, This is a summary report of the study, the research, the problem and the eolutions which de~~Qopdduricd 'the :final ten weeks period of the echo02 ,term, It must be realized that, in so shod a tie, a sl;u.dy of this Beope ca? not be guaranteed eompl&e or free of error, This '%heels is aaot offered a8 a poxshed engineering report but rather as a record of the work done by the group under the leaderehip of the group leader. It is reproduced for uee by those persona competent to assess the uncertainties inherent in the results obtained in term of the prebieeneee of the t.ecbnica1 data md analytical met hods employed in the study. fn the opinion of the student 8 and f acul%,y of OBSCWT, the problem has served +,,he pedagogical purpose for ,wkieh i.t vaa . intended. Ae a matter of hiwtorieal fact and pride we point out ,that similar investigations by stude~tgroups of previous ORSOEF classes have led to sufficiently encouraging results to warrant more exhaustive studiee; in at least one instance, a reactor first investigated by a.s%udentgroup is soon to become a physical reality, There is also recorded & instance in whieh calculations contafned in a similar report were uncritically abstracted alad applied to a atudy for whi.ch they were never intended, It is to avoid the recurrence of the latter experience that we have .taken some pains to acquaint the reader with ,the character of this report, The famltv wishes to Join the,authors ,in an expression of appreciatf on for the aseistance which various members of the Oak Ridge National laboratory have eo generously contributed.

  • Investigations on the Michael Reaction. V. Michael Condensation with Alkali-Metal Fluorides As Catalysts by A
    BULLETIN DE L'ACADEMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES S6rie des sciences cliliniques Volume XII, No. 1, 1964 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Investigations on the Michael Reaction. V. Michael Condensation with Alkali-Metal Fluorides as Catalysts by A. OSTASZYIsTSKI, T. URBAN'SKI and J. WIELGAT Piesented by T. URBANSKI on October 15, 1963 In our previous work [1] condensation of ethyl acetoacctate with various accep• tors was carried out by using anhydrous commercial potassium fluoride as ca• talyst. At present, further attempts at Michael condensation between some donor and acceptor compounds were made in the presence of alkali-metal (other than potassium) fluorides as catalysts. In the presence of potassium fluoiide, nitromethane condensed with chalconc to give the crystalline 1.5-dibenzoyl-2,4-diphenyl-3-nitropentane (I). C6H5CHCH2C0C(,H5 I HCN02 I C <,H 5CHCH2COC r,H.5 (1) Two diastereoisomers of (I) have been isolated, m.p's. 244-245°C and 156—157°C [2]. Condensation of nitromethane with /?-benzoquinone catalyzed by potassium fluoride, was vigorous and the reaction mixture darkened immediately. A tar was obtained, from which no crystalline product could be isolated. Modification of reaction conditions, viz., lower temperature, different solvent, and varying amounts of catalyst proved ineffective. Attempts at condensing fluorene with chalcone, and cyclohexanone with methyl vinyl ketone, or chalconc in the presence of potassium fluoride, failed. Even prolonged heating of the reaction mixture for 10, 30 or 120 hr. at 70° gave nothing but recovery of the starting materials. Unexpectedly, the analogous reactions of ethyl a- or y-chloroacetoacetate and ethyl y-fluoroacetoacetate were also a failure.

  • This Table Gives the Standard State Chemical Thermodynamic Properties of About 2500 Individual Substances in the Crystalline, Liquid, and Gaseous States
    STANDARD THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES This table gives the standard state chemical thermodynamic properties of about 2500 individual substances in the crystalline, liquid, and gaseous states. Substances are listed by molecular formula in a modified Hill order; all substances not containing carbon appear first, followed by those that contain carbon. The properties tabulated are: DfH° Standard molar enthalpy (heat) of formation at 298.15 K in kJ/mol DfG° Standard molar Gibbs energy of formation at 298.15 K in kJ/mol S° Standard molar entropy at 298.15 K in J/mol K Cp Molar heat capacity at constant pressure at 298.15 K in J/mol K The standard state pressure is 100 kPa (1 bar). The standard states are defined for different phases by: • The standard state of a pure gaseous substance is that of the substance as a (hypothetical) ideal gas at the standard state pressure. • The standard state of a pure liquid substance is that of the liquid under the standard state pressure. • The standard state of a pure crystalline substance is that of the crystalline substance under the standard state pressure. An entry of 0.0 for DfH° for an element indicates the reference state of that element. See References 1 and 2 for further information on reference states. A blank means no value is available. The data are derived from the sources listed in the references, from other papers appearing in the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data, and from the primary research literature. We are indebted to M. V. Korobov for providing data on fullerene compounds.

(C. 260-648) fluoro-1-butene, 3H-pentafluoropropylene, 4H-heptafiu This invention relates to, and has as its principal ob oro-1-butene, 4-chloroheptafluoro-1-butene, perfluoro-2- ject provision of, a new method for preparing fluoroalkyl 0 decene, 12H-perfluoro-1-dodecene, 8-chloropentadeca iodides and fluorocycloalkyl iodides. fluoro-1-octene, 1,1,2,3,3-pentafluoro-1-pentene, 1,1,2,3,3- Compounds which contain only carbon and fluorine and pentafluoro-1-octene octafluoro-2-butene, 8H-perfluoro-1- optionally hydrogen have been studied very intensely be octene, hexafluoropropylene, hexafluorocyclobutene, octa cause of their valuable and unique properties. Con fluorocyclopentene, decafluorocyclohexene, octafluoroiso 5 butene, dichlorovinylidene fluoride, and the like. The pre pounds of this general type containing iodine in addition ferred fluoroalkenes are those which contain no more than to fluorine have been investigated to a much lesser de 12 carbon atoms and the preferred fluorocycloalkenes are gree because simple, generally applicable methods for those which contain no more than 8 carbon atoms.
