Liquid-liquid partition is used in sample preparation and in countercurrent and liquid-liquid chromatographic separations. Partition coefficients are widely used in toxicology, environmental, and analytical chemistry. The K hn determination procedure for the n-hexane/ nitromethane system was optimized and partition coefficients for 99 ketones, esters and trimethylsilyl derivatives of phenols, aliphatic and aromatic acids were determined. For 130 compounds, Khn values were predicted using mathematical relationships between Khn and other physicochemical and structural parameters. Versita Sp. z o.o.

A method for the conversion of esters to carboxylic acids has been reported. Reaction of methyl o-methoxybenzoate with N-(trimethylsilyl)diethylamine and methyl iodide, followed by hydrolysis, afforded o-methoxybenzoic acid with a 94% yield based on 96% conversion. Methyl esters of not only aromatic acids but also aliphatic acids were converted to the corresponding acids with high yields. A combination of N-(trimethylsilyl)dimethylamine and methyl iodide was also effective to give p-methylbenzoic acid with a 85% yield based on 90% conversion from the corresponding methyl ester.
