BLUESTEIN, ALBERT HYBL* AND YosHIMI AL NISHIOKA INTRODUCTION The reaction kinetics of the alcoholysis of substituted benzoyl chlorides was studied. The mechanism of the alcoholysis reaction, which is most generally accepted ( 1), shows that the overall re­ action should be second-order and that the reaction should be first-order with respect to the acid chloride and first-order with respect to the alcohol. This rate study was carried out using a large excess of alcohol as the solvent, thus obtaining pseudo-first order rate constants, first-order with respect to the acid chloride only.

  • Solvent-Free and Safe Process for the Quantitative Production of Phosgene from Triphosgene by Deactivated Imino-Based Catalysts
    Organic Process Research & Development 2010, 14, 1501–1505 Solvent-Free and Safe Process for the Quantitative Production of Phosgene from Triphosgene by Deactivated Imino-Based Catalysts Heiner Eckert* and Johann Auerweck Department of Chemistry, Technische UniVersitaet Muenchen, Lichtenbergstr. 4, Garching 85747, Germany Abstract: Scheme 1. Decomposition of triphosgene (1a) into carbon tetrachloride, carbon dioxide, and 1 equiv of phosgene (3) Phosgene is quantitatively formed from solid triphosgene in a solvent-free and safe process without any reaction heat, catalyzed by planar N-heterocycles with deactivated imino functions. The rate of phosgene generation is adjustable to the rate of phosgene consumption in the subsequent phosgenation reaction by thermal control, catalyst concentration, and in some cases, specific proper- ties of selected metal phthalocyanines. A thermal runaway reaction of this process is impossible. phosgene in most reactions, yet several phosgenation reactions are advantageously carried out with phosgene, that is, when excessive triphosgene is difficult to remove during the reaction Introduction workup because of its high boiling point of over 200 °C. Its Phosgene (3) is a highly useful and versatile chemical in excess can be destroyed by hydrolysis, when phosgenation performing syntheses.1a Although consisting of only four atoms, products are not sensitive to moisture as are carbonates, four important transformations can be carried out with it in carbamates, ureas, diarylketones, alkylhalides, cyanides, and organic

Academic Editor: Derek J. McPhee Received: 17 May 2015 / Accepted: 4 June 2015 / Published: 8 June 2015 Abstract: Oxidized L-glutathione was esterified to the tetra methyl ester using thionyl chloride in methanol solvent. Other alcohols were tested and the reaction progress was monitored via ESI-MS. This procedure proved to be compatible with other small peptides not containing serine and cysteine residues. In contrast to previously reported methods this procedure provided convenient access to esterified peptides requiring no purification, extended reaction times, or complicated reaction setups. Keywords: esterification; peptide esterification; amino acids; carboxylic acids; esters 1. Introduction The design and synthesis of novel glutathione analogues are studied extensively for their pharmacological properties in the treatment of a wide range of diseases [1–3]. Reduced glutathione (GSH), -L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine, is prone to reactivity at the sulfhydryl, terminal amino group, and both carbonyls. Thus, the synthesis of GSH analogues are a synthetic challenge to chemists, and the clever manipulation of protecting groups are needed to prevent unwanted reactions.

The facility is a manufacturer of various organic acid chlorides used as intermediaries in the production of other compounds and encompasses two main production buildings and 8 reactors. The primary products produced are trimellitic trichloride, trimellitic Anhydride Monoacid chloride,isophthaloyl chloride, orthophthaloyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, and phosphorous pentachloride (2-200 gallon nickel reactors). Phosgene and thionyl chloride are used as chlorinating agents. The phosgene is purchased in 1 ton containers from Vandemark Chemical located next to the facility. Raw materials are added to the batch reactors along with a chlorinating agent and a catalyst. Prior to opening the reactor for chemical addition, the reactor is put under vacuum to remove gases. During the reaction process, the reactor is under slight pressure. Reactor temperatures are monitored. After the reaction is completed, the material is transferred to a distillation unit to refine and separate the product. Air strippers remove chlorinated hydrocarbons from wastewater prior to discharge to Lockport WWTP.

  • Halogenation Reagents
    Halogenation Reagents Halogenation is a basic and fundamental transformation in organic chemistry, and halogenated compounds are of extreme importance as building blocks in organic synthesis. The development of modern coupling reactions, such as the [P2140] Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck reactions, have greatly increased the demand for halogenated compounds as starting materials. P2140 (2.3 eq.) On the other hand, introduction of fluorine into a certain position of bioactive compound such as a pharmaceutical and an agricultural chemical may remarkably reduce the toxicity of the compound, or improve the efficiency of medicine. This is due to the structurally mimic and blocking effect characterized by fluorine. P2140 (3 eq.) In response to this situation, a number of novel halogenation reagents have been developed. 4-tert-Butyl-2,6-dimethylphenylsulfur trifluoride (FLUOLEAD™) [B3664] is introduced as below: B3664 is a novel nucleophilic 1-Fluoro-3,3-dimethyl-1,2-benziodoxole [F0957] is a hypervalent fluorinating agent which was first reported by Umemoto et al.1) iodine derivative developed by Stuart et al.3) F0957 is stable to air Differing from other existing fluorinating agents, such as DAST, and moisture and used as an electrophilic fluorinating reagent for B3664 is a crystalline solid with high thermal stability and less a α-monofluorination of β-ketoesters in the presence of fuming character, which makes it easier to handle.

  • Reactions of Alcohols
    Reactions of Alcohols Alcohols are versatile organic compounds since they undergo a wide variety of transformations – the majority of which are either oxidation or reduction type reactions. Normally: Oxidation is a loss of electrons; Reduction is a gain of electrons. But in organic terms: Oxidation: loss of H2; addition of O or O2; addition of X2 (halogens). Reduction: - addition of H2 or H ; loss of O or O2; loss of X2. Neither an oxidation nor reduction: Addition or loss of H+, H2O, HX. Ch11 Reacns of Alcohols (landscape).docx Page 1 Oxidation of Alcohols Primary and secondary alcohols are easily oxidized by a variety of reagents. Secondary Alcohols The most common reagent used for oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones is chromic acid, H2CrO4. Chromic acid is produced in situ by reaction of sodium dichromate, sulfuric acid and water. Na2Cr2O7 + H2O + 2H2SO4 2 H2CrO4 + 2 NaHSO4 Ch11 Reacns of Alcohols (landscape).docx Page 2 Mechanism of oxidation The alcohol and chromic acid produce a chromate ester, which then reductively eliminates the Cr species. The Cr is reduced (VI IV), the alcohol is oxidized. Oxidation of Primary Alcohols Primary alcohols are easily oxidized just like secondary alcohols, and the INITIAL product of oxidation is an aldehyde. Ch11 Reacns of Alcohols (landscape).docx Page 3 However, the aldehyde can also be easily oxidized to an acid, and this ‘over-oxidation’ is a practical problem. E.g. A common reagent that selectively oxidizes a primary alcohol to an aldehyde (and no further) is pyridinium chlorochromate, PCC. N: CrO3, HCl (PCC) E.g. Tertiary Alcohols These are resistant to oxidation because they have no hydrogen atoms attached to the oxygen bearing carbon (carbinol carbon).
