General Description

2-Methyltetradecane is a straight-chain, saturated hydrocarbon compound with the chemical formula C15H32. It is classified as an alkane and belongs to the group of hydrocarbons known as alkanes. 2-Methyltetradecane is a colorless, odorless liquid with a high boiling point and low solubility in water. It is primarily used as a component in the production of lubricants, fuels, and other industrial chemicals. 2-Methyltetradecane is also used as a solvent for extraction processes and as a base for the manufacturing of synthetic oils and waxes. It is considered non-toxic and non-hazardous, making it a safe and versatile chemical for various industrial applications.

Process for hydrogenation of carboxylic acids and derivatives to hydrocarbons

A process for hydrogenating a carboxylic acid and/or derivative thereof having a carboxylate group represented by the general formula R1COO-, which process comprises feeding hydrogen and the carboxylic acid and/or derivative thereof to a reactor and maintaining conditions within the reactor such that hydrogen reacts with the carboxylic acid and/or derivative thereof to produce a product stream comprising carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane and hydrocarbons represented by general formulae R1H and R1CH3, characterised in that the molar ratio of R1H : R1CH3 is above a pre-determined value and/or the mole ratio of the sum of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane to carboxylate groups is above a pre-determined value.

Azo Anions in Synthesis: α-Amino Carbanion Equivalents from t-Butyldiphenylmethylhydrazones

α-Amino carbanion equivalents (=C(1-)NH2) and α-hydrazino anion equivalents (=C(1-)NHNH2) are readily accessible from the C-alkylation products of t-butyldiphenylmethylhydrazones; these azoalkanes can be efficiently transformed into amines, hydrazines, and also alkanes under mild reaction conditions.

SELECTIVE MIXED COUPLING OF CARBOXYLIC ACIDS (I). - ELECTROLYSIS, THERMOLYSIS AND PHOTOLYSIS OF UNSYMMETRICAL DIACYL PEROXIDES WITH ACYCLIC AND CYCLIC ALKYL GROUPS

14 unsymmetrical diacyl peroxides (R1CO2-O2CR2 with R1: undecyl; R2: e.g. methyl, propyl, pentyl, nonyl, 2-methylpropyl, 2-propyl, 2-pentyl, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclohexyl) are prepared in 85 to 92 percent yield.Square pulse electrolysis of dodecanoyl octanoyl peroxide (1i) affords the unsymmetrical coupling product octadecane (4) in poor yield and selectivity.Thermolysis or photolysis in solution produces preferentially 4, but also considerable amounts of disproportionation products.At -78 deg C the neat peroxides are photolysed selectively to the mixed dimers.With straight chain and β-branched alkyl groups high yields are obtained (63 - 76 percent), with cycloalkyl groups medium yields (42 - 56 percent), and with α-branched diacyl peroxides moderate yields (20 - 33 percent).A comparison of the mixed Kolbe-electrolysis with the low temperature photolysis of the neat peroxide demonstrates the superiority of the latter method in small scale conversion with regard to yield and selectivity.
