is silica gel classed as a molecular seive? and if so, what adsorbtion capability? if not, is it possible to use it as a substitute for 3A molecular
seives? will it remove substances other than water from things?
thanks

No, neither silicagel or silica is a molecular sieve. Molecular sieves are zeolite-type materials. They are very cheap, almost as cheap as silica.
Silicagel can absorb some water, but it does not do so as energetically as molecular sieves and it can therefore not be used for the same principle.
Also, I never heard of silicagel being used in liquid phase, generally it is just used to maintain dry atmosphere in desiccators. As for it absorbing
other things, it depends on what other thing is.

My question is about cyanuric acid.
I've read in several places that it crystallizes from water as the dihydrate, but does anyone know how stable this hydrate is? For example, will
storing over H2SO4 in a dessicator leave the anhydrous product, or will it not lose any water? I've been meaning to do some experiments, but the
stoichiometry will go out the window if I don't know if it's hydrated or not. Thanks. |
I think if you store it over H2SO4 it will not loose hydration water at room temperature, at least if it is a real crystal hydratation water. Hydrated
cyanuric acid has the form of larger needles (it looks "crystalline", 1-2 mm needles, depending on how slowly they grew), while the anhydrous form is
more fine (more powder-like). I have no idea at which temperature the hydrate starts loosing water.

I posted the JACS article before in a relevant thread (acetonitrile), in a zip due to the attachment size limit at the time, and have reattached it
there just now.
I did this because I've been reading some lately, because the American Chemical Journal has just become available at Google Books. Including the above
citation from 1910, which jogged my memory:
http://books.google.com/books?id=AcsAAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA162
This is interesting because it shows that ferrocyanide and sulfur substitute for thiocyanate, at least with metal benzoates.
It is nice to finally be able to read that journal. Unfortunately only 1880-1910 volumes are available, and only a third of those. The Big State U.
down the road has it in inaccessible offsite storage, like nearly all QD journals, in favor of barren expanses of carpet. Literally half the library
is empty space. The local library just down the street, which used to enable me to find many thousands of journal references, put ALL of their
journals in inaccessible offsite storage a couple years ago.

Under what conditions? Simple nitration with HNO3 gives roughly 60 o / 40 p, but I've read reports for different conditions ranging from 2.5:1 o/p to
1:4 o/p ratios.

Magnesium
I am looking for a small quantity of scrap magnesium. I would appreciate any information on where to get some or if you have some to sell or give.
Thanks

I was thinking a simple nitration with HNO3/H2SO4, with reflux at 50degrees C.
Do you know what the conditions are to get the 1:4 o:p ratio? seems temting...
Squall- try marine stores, they may have old magnesium sacrificial anodes, other than that any scrap metal dealer may be able to help you,
Thanks,

Don't think you need to heat for nitrating toluene, and I'm puzzled at how you reflux that mix at 50 C .
A lot of the high ratio methods depended on using hardtogetium difficulttoobtainate, I don't remember real details. Vapour phase nitration over
Zeolite H-beta at 120-140 C converts about half the toluene and 3/4 of the HNO3 to mono-nitrate with less than 1% loss to benzoic acid, ratio of p/o
was around 2.6 to 2.8 to 1.

Your right, i was confusing toluene with benzene, sorry.
I am probably going to try a normal nitration folowed by seperating the 40% P from the O.
Vapour phase nitrations are beyond my ability.
Thanks.

No, for one thing lead tetraacetate cannot magically convert an -OH group into a -CH3 group.

And if you'll look at what turd posted, the extra carbon should have come from somewhere, acetic anhydride in the case of Dakin-West.

Or from Pb(OAc)2 in the "lead acetate process". 
Quote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylacetone: | Quote: | | For example, phenylacetic acid is distilled with lead acetate to yield phenylacetone. |
So the question has some merit.

I have recently tried reading the rotation of a sample using a polarimeter, I don't know the angle of rotation of
(2S)-N-methyl-1-phenyl-propan-2-amine, because I don't know the concentration of the sample to use .....also I guess recemic
(2S)-N-methyl-1-phenyl-propan-2-amine will have no rotation at all?...and so what is the l-isomer's rotation ?.... does anyone know where I might
look to find this information .....solo

With angles of rotation, both isomers will rotate the same amount so long as the concentration is the same, but in opposite directions (one will be
clockwise, the other is counterclockwise, but which isomer rotates in which direction is found experimentally. You are right in saying racemic
mixtures have no rotation though. The wikipedia page below ought to help slightly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation . Where to find the specific rotation for this compound is beyond me, although I would hazard a
guess and say the merck index, seeing as it has a vast quantity of data on different compounds. This page may also help: http://library.tedankara.k12.tr/carey/ch7-4.html

.......`i just read my own question, `i can be so blind sometimes, hence if recemic is 0˚ rotation it would mean that the l,isomer has the same
18˚ that the d, isomer has but in the opposite direction ......what `i need to know what concentration of the material should be that i load into
the vial that is used to read in the polarimeter........solo

Will this work?
NaNO2 + Na2S2O7 -> N2O3 + Na2SO4
or..
4NaNO3 + 2Na2S2O7 -> 2N2O4 + O2 + 4Na2SO4
Specifically will it work by direct reaction of the reactants in the solid state?

Literature values are always described as specific rotations, therefore it does not matter much what is the concentration of your sample,
because you have to calculate the specific rotation anyway. Optical rotation is wavelength, solvent and temperature dependent, so you need to use
these conditions as reported in the literature (in reality they are also concentration dependent due to molecular association, but this effect is
usually minor).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation
…there is a human touch of the cultist “believer” in every theorist that he must struggle against as being
unworthy of the scientist. Some of the greatest men of science have publicly repudiated a theory which earlier they hotly defended. In this lies their
scientific temper, not in the scientific defense of the theory. - Weston La Barre (Ghost Dance, 1972)

If they were ground to a fine powder, and heated it would work. Of course, at standard pressures, they would form as the gases NO and NO2 which would
then need to be condensed to form N2Ox.
