TL;DR: The temperature required for the anodic conversion of an organo-solv spruce lignin, in aqueous alkaline solution, may be lowered by the addition of nitrobenzene or 1,3-dinitrobenzinene.
Abstract: The temperature required for the anodic conversion of an organo-solv spruce lignin, in aqueous alkaline solution, may be lowered by the addition of nitrobenzene or 1,3-dinitrobenzene. The additives cause significant and reproducible changes in the Tafel plot for the reaction. Preparativescale experiments are less reproducible although the range of phenolic products is generally similar to that produced by conventional nitrobenzene oxidation or by anodic oxidation at higher temperatures.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrochemical detector was not affected by nitrobenzene interference and allowed the direct injection of nitron-bene hydrolysates into HPLC, resulting in a simplified analytical procedure with quantitative results and improved detection limits.
Abstract: Results showed that solvent partitioning with CH 2 Cl 2 was biased by losses of phenolics ranging from 10% for vanillin and syringaldehyde to 75% for p-coumaric acid. Yields improved by saturating the water phase with sodium chloride yet remained nonquantitative. The electrochemical detector was not affected by nitrobenzene interference and allowed the direct injection of nitrobenzene hydrolysates into HPLC, resulting in a simplified analytical procedure with quantitative results and improved detection limits

TL;DR: In this article, the response characteristics of several ions, usually considered as electroinactive, were investigated at the thin-layer amperometric detector based on ion transfer across the interface of water/nitrobenzene solidified by polyvinyl chloride and agar.
Abstract: The response characteristics of several ions, usually considered as electroinactive, were investigated at the thin-layer amperometric detector based on ion transfer across the interface of water/nitrobenzene solidified by polyvinyl chloride and agar. The influence of some factors, such as applied potential, flow rate of mobile phase, and organic solvent in mobile phase, was studied by flow injection analysis of cations (choline, acetylcholine, tetramethylammonium, tetrabutylammonium, and cesium) and anions (ClO, IO, and ReO). The detection limit of the flow injection amperometric detector is in the range of 4 to 40 ng of these ions. Reversed-phase chromatographic separation of choline and acetylcholine with amperometric detection was demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, Nitrobenzenes are prepared by nitrating benzenes in vapor phase using nitric acid as a nitrating agent and under continuous or intermittent feeding of sulfuric acid as the catalyst.
Abstract: Nitrobenzenes are prepared by nitrating benzenes in vapor phase using nitric acid as a nitrating agent and under continuous or intermittent feeding of sulfuric acid as a catalyst in the presence of a catalyst comprising sulfuric acid supported on a carrier or in the presence of only a carrier. This process can provide very high and prolonged nitration activity.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the luminescence quenching of uranyl ion with cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, anisole and nitrobenzene during its photochemical reduction with triphenylphosphine was studied.
Abstract: The luminescence quenching of uranyl ion with cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, anisole and nitrobenzene during its photochemical reduction with triphenylphosphine was studied. The results show that the substituents have a remarkable effect on the aromatic ring which operates in accordance with the inductive effect. Because of the positive inductive effect of the methyl and methoxy groups on the phenyl ring, there is an increased electron density for exciplex formation, and this results in a high value for physical quenching of optically excited uranyl ion with anisole; the value is low with nitrobenzene owing to the negative inductive effect of the nitro group.

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of new solvents used as the organic phase of electrochemical measurement at liquid-liquid interfaces, including phenyl isothiocyanate, o-dichlorobenzene, benzyl cyanide, propiophenone, methyl cyclohexanone and methyl amyl ketone, have been studied.
Abstract: Solvents used as the organic phase of electrochemical measurement at liquid-liquid interfaces, including phenyl isothiocyanate, o-dichlorobenzene, benzyl cyanide, propiophenone, methyl cyclohexanone, cyclohexanone, and methyl amyl ketone, have been studied. Mixing solvents of different polarities in different ratios gives a number of new solvent systems that are suitable for showing a useful “potential window,” including the mixed-solvent systems with nitrobenzene plus phenyl isothiocyanate, nitrobenzene plus o-dichlorobenzene, nitrobenzene plus ketones, and the mixed solvent without nitrobenzene, such as phenyl isothiocyanate plus benzyl cyanide, phenyl isothiocyanate plus benzonitrile, o-dichlobenzene plus benzyl cyanide, and chlorobenzene plus benzonitrile. Supporting electrolytes such as cetylpyridinium tetraphenylborate, ethyl violet tetraphenylborate, and triheptyl dodecylammonium tetraphenylborate are also introduced as the organic phase in order to extend the potential range in the negative direction.

TL;DR: Friedel-Crafts acetylation of phenanthrene (1a) in sym-tetrachloroethane yields mixtures of 2-, 3- and 9-acetylphenanthrenes (2a, 3a, 4).
Abstract: Friedel-Crafts acetylation of phenanthrene (1a) in sym-tetrachloroethane yields mixtures of 2-, 3- and 9-acetylphenanthrenes (2a, 3a, 4). The distribution of isomers is found to depend strongly upon the method of mixing the reagents. Acetylation of 9-chlorophenanthrene (1b), performed by a variety of methods and solvents, led mainly to 3-acetyl-9-chlorophenanthrene (3b) (≥85%). Previously unreported 2-acetyl-9-chlorophenanthrene (2b) was found to form up to a maximum 11% in nitrobenzene.

TL;DR: In this article, a process for the preparation of concentrated storage-stable aqueous solutions of yellow azo-and azoxystilbene dyes which are obtained by self-condensation of 4-nitrotoluene-2-sulfonic acid in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide was described.
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of concentrated storage-stable aqueous solutions of yellow azo- and azoxystilbene dyes which are obtained by self-condensation of 4-nitrotoluene-2-sulfonic acid in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide, by converting the sparingly soluble alkali metal salt of the dye into a water-soluble ammonium salt by double cation exchange via a lipophilic ammonium salt, which process comprises carrying out the double ion exchange in a two-phase system of nitrobenzene/water and using, for the first ion exchange a di- or trialkylamine containing a total of 12 to 40 carbon atoms and, for the second ion exchange, a mono-, di- or trialkanolamine containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms in each alkyl moiety. The concentrated storage-stable dye solutions so obtained are particularly suitable for dyeing paper.
