TL;DR: Tobacco parts are treated with ammonium salts of organic acids, added or formed in situ, in the presence of ammonium hydroxide to obtain an alkaline pH, to release tobacco pectins and form calcium or magnesium salts with the organic anions as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Tobacco parts are treated with ammonium salts of organic acids, added or formed in situ, in the presence of ammonium hydroxide to obtain an alkaline pH, to release tobacco pectins and form calcium and/or magnesium salts with the organic anions. The pectins act as a binding agent and together with the treated tobacco and precipitated salts constitute a mix that may be cast or otherwise treated to form a reconstituted tobacco product.

TL;DR: In this paper, a relatively high electrical resistivity in a dielectric substrate, such as doped barium titanate, may be produced by first forming a relatively porous substrate which may be handled without breaking, as by prefiring the substrate, masking selected portions of the substrate with a material such as a photoresist material which will vaporize during final firing of substrate, contacting the substrate and immersing at least a portion of substrate in a solution of a second reactant, which will react with the first reactant to precipitate in situ in a portion
Abstract: Areas of relatively high electrical resistivity in a dielectric substrate, such as doped barium titanate, may be produced by first forming a relatively porous substrate which may be handled without breaking, as by prefiring the substrate, masking selected portions of the substrate with a material such as a photoresist material which will vaporize during final firing of the substrate, contacting the substrate with a solution of a first reactant, immersing at least a portion of the substrate in a solution of a second reactant which will react with the first reactant to precipitate in situ in a portion of the substrate a transition metallic compound which is insoluble in the solutions and which is adapted to increase the electrical resistivity of the said portion of the substrate, and thereafter firing the sustrate at a temperature on the order of 1,300* - 1,450*C. to reduce the porosity of the substrate and to incorporate the insoluble compound into the lattice of selected portions of the substrate. The starting material may be a lanthanum doped barium titanate, for example, the solution of the first reactant may be an aqueous solution of a compound such as ammonium hydroxide, and the solution of the second reactant may be an aqueous solution of an iron compound such as ferric chloride which reacts with the ammonium hydroxide to precipitate in situ ferric hydroxide which, when fired, produces a high resistivity area.

TL;DR: In this article, the protecting group was readily and selectively removed by hydrolysis through an active intermediate derived from the reaction of 10 and 11 with various tertiary amines to afford the corresponding isopropylidene-α-glyceryl β'-haloethylhydrogen phosphate (15) along with 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl trialkyl ammonium chloride (16), a chip of the active intermediate 14.
Abstract: β'-Haloethyl isopropylidene-α-glycerophosphoryl 2-chloromethyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphates (10 and 11) were prepared by the stepwise phosphorylations of ethylene halohydrin and 1, 2-isopropylidene-glycerol with 2-chloromethyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphorodichloridate (3), a phosphorylating reagent having an "activatable" protecting group. The protecting group of 10 and 11 was readily and selectively removed by hydrolysis through an active intermediate 14 derived from the reaction of 10 and 11 with various tertiary amines to afford the corresponding isopropylidene-α-glyceryl β'-haloethylhydrogen phosphate (15) along with 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl trialkyl ammonium chloride (16), a chip of the active intermediate 14. The halogen atom in the ethyl chain of the phosphate 15 reacted with tertiary amine at the same time to afford the corresponding quaternary ammonium compound 17 which was converted by subsequent hydrolysis into α-glycerophosphoryl choline (1a) and its analogues (1b-d). Thus, DL-α-glycerophosphoryl choline (1a), its L-isomer (1a-L), inner salt of β'-(DL-α-glyceryl hydrogen phosphoroxy) ethyl triethyl ammonium hydroxide (1b), 1-[β'-(DL-α-glyceryl) hydrogen phosphoroxy] ethyl 1-methyl piperidinium hydroxide (1c) and inner salt of 1-[β'-(DL-α-glyceryl) hydrogen phosphoroxy] ethyl 1, 4-diazonia bicyclo [2, 2, 2] octane hydroxide (1d) were prepared in good yield. DL-Myristoyl lecithin (18) was prepared by acylation of 1a with myristoyl chloride to confirm the structure of synthetic 1a.

Abstract: Technical grade phosphoric acid is purified of cationic impurities by adding thereto alkali or ammonium ions and a water soluble organic solvent whereby a flaky, easily filterable precipitate is formed which is subsequently separated from the filtrate. The filtrate is passed through a highly acidic cationic exchange resin in the H+ form. The organic solvent is distilled from the filtrate to produce purified phosphoric acid. The source of alkali ions include gaseous ammonia, alkali and ammonium hydroxide and/or alkali and ammonium salts with the addition being of from 0.06 to 0.12 mols of alkali ions per mol of P2O5.

The sodium silicate hydrate treated is of general formula mNa 2 O : SiO 2 : yH 2 O, when m = 0A5-1A5 and y is greater than 0A05. Specified suitable bases are mono-, di-, and tri-methylamine and ethylamine, pyridine, piperidine and quinoline, hydroxylamine, and ammonium hydroxide.

TL;DR: In this article, aqueous solutions of anhydrous trimethyl borate with titanium tetrachloride and polyvinyl alcohol, with a pH of about 1, but when ammonium hydroxide is added, the pH may be raised to about 10.
Abstract: The invention provides aqueous solutions of (1) the reaction product of anhydrous trimethyl borate with titanium tetrachloride and (2) polyvinyl alcohol, preferably not exceeding about 0.5 weight percent of each. These solutions have a pH of about 1, but when ammonium hydroxide is added, the pH may be raised to about 10 without precipitation of titanium or gelation of the polyvinyl alcohol. When the pH of the above solutions is adjusted to between about 2 and about 10, the solutions are photosensitive. When these solutions are in a confined zone, sunlight or actinic radiation in the range between ultraviolet light and the lower wavelengths of the visible spectrum causes oxygen from the air above the solutions to be consumed until it is all gone. Then, reduction of the colorless dissolved Ti(IV) compound to the dark blue Ti(III) state occurs without precipitation of the Ti(III) product or reoxidation to Ti(IV). The blue Ti(III) solution is quickly reoxidized by reexposure to air. Similar photosensitive solutions are formed with polyvinyl alcohol and other Ti(IV) compounds, such as (1) the tetravalent titanium compound conforming substantially to the formula Cl 2 Ti(OR) 2 where R is H, CH 3 , C 2 H 5 , C 3 H 7 or C 4 H 9 ; (2) titanyl sulfate, and (3) titanyl chloride. The polyvinyl alcohol may be replaced by other complexing agents, such as N-hydroxyethylenediaminetriacetic acid, diethanolglycine, glucoheptanoic acid, arabonic acid, gluconic acid, galactonic acid, saccharic acid, mucic acid, and the sodium and ammonium salts of these compounds.

The volatile base compounds are, for example, ammonium hydroxide or ammonium carbonate. The nitrite radical is present in an amount of about 0.07% by weight up to the solubility of the nitrite compound. The base compound is about 0.1% by weight up to about 25% by weight of the aqueous solution. The aqueous solution has a pH of not less than about 8 to about 13.

TL;DR: In this paper, high yields of 3-acylamino-2-benzopyrylium salts are formed in the acylation of 3,4-dimethoxy- and 3, 4-methylenedioxyphenylacetonitrile.
Abstract: High yields of 3-acylamino-2-benzopyrylium salts are formed in the acylation of 3,4-dimethoxy- and 3,4-methylenedioxyphenylacetonitrile. The salts are converted to 4-isoquinolones on treatment with ammonia. The acylation of ethyl 3,4-dimethoxyphenylglycidate ester also results in heterocyclization to 3-carbethoxy-2-benzopyrylium salts, which are converted to high yields of the corresponding 3-carbethoxyisoquinolines by treatment with ammonium hydroxide. The mechanisms of these transformations are discussed.
