Usage

General Description

Acetamide, N-acetyl-N-[2-(acetylamino)ethyl]- is a complex organic compound that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboximidic acids. It's an amide resulting from the formal condensation of acetic acid with 2-(acetylamino)ethylamine. It's primarily used in organic synthesis, but information about other uses is not widely available. Its potential health, environmental, and safety impacts have not been thoroughly studied, so caution should be exercised when handling this compound.

Degradation and photodegradation of tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) in the presence of iron (III) in aqueous solution

The dark degradation of tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) was investigated, It is a slow process which is favored in acidic medium, There is a hydrolysis of an imide group with the scission of the C-N bond giving rise to the triacetyl derivative (TAED'). When allowed to stand for longer times a second acetyl group is eliminated with the formation of the symetric diacetyl derivative (DAED). The degradation of TAED photoinduced by iron (m) was also investigated. It appears a faster degradation which does not lead to the same products. The process only involves 'OH radicals formed upon photolysis of aquocomplex of iron (III). They preferentially abstract a hydrogen from the methylene group. The degradation is then assisted by oxygen and leads to the formation of carbonylated oxidation products.

Kinetic model of acylation of diacetylethylenediamine

Descriptive kinetics of synthesis of tetraacetylethylenediamine by acylation of diacetylethylenediamine with acetic acid anhydride was examined. The apparent rate constants of the process were obtained, and a mathematical model adequately describing the process was constructed.
