....the hydrolysis of phenylacetamide will produce PAA, and a by product of an amine.... will the amine be methylamine?or ammonium chloride if
hydrolysed with HCL or ammonium sulfate if hydrolysed with sulfuric acid? .. once the phenylacetamide has been put into solution in methanol and a
strong solution of an acid or a base is added and refluxed for three hours...... does anyone have first hand notes on the hydrolysis, ....bits and
pices of the info was gathered at organic synthesis and reading Marchs 6th edition .....solo

Interesting, so do you mean to say that the CH2O would "rather" polymerize than evaporate?

The mechanism is depicted on the Wikipedia entry for Bucherer reaction. You can now answer your own question.
Also, the scope of this reaction does not expand to just any phenol. It has to be a phenolic compound that has a substantial equilibrium for the
reverse enolization.

Nicodem.....thanks for the reply, I had read,
"Replacement of hydroxy by amino groups occurs in the Bucherer reaction; the reagent is an aqueous solution of bisulfite and ammonia or an amine, and
the hydroxy groups of naphthols or resorcinol are most easily replaced. The Bucherer reaction occurs via the keto tautomers of the phenols (163), and
is not to be classed as aromatic substitution.
The 4-hydroxy group in 2,4-dihydroxyquinoline may be replaced by amines; hydrochloric acid aids the reaction with aniline (138). Aminolysis of an
o-nitro- phenol has been reported, but the reaction is more difficult than that of the corresponding nitrophenyl alkyl ethers (540). Here again it
might be argued that these direct replacements of hydroxy groups are in reality condensations of the keto tautomers of the phenols."

.....but i guess wanted for it to work on an alkyl chain....hence, my stubborn question...which is now answered ....thanks....solo

The preparation of tetramine copper (II) sulfate is usually carried out with concentrated ammonia solution.
Can it be done by using household ammonia, with the quantities adjusted accordingly?

Yes but if you want crystals of the tetramine copper II sulphate of it You will find 28% ammonia more suitable.
I never asked for this.

Why? Is it just because there will be less water present with the concentrated ammonia? My plan was just to add enough ammonia solution to aqueous
copper sulfate to form copper hydroxide and then to complex the precipitate again, before adding ethanol to precipitate out the tetramine copper
sulfate.

Can N-ethylhydroxylamine react with methyllithium to produce ethylmethylamine. if it works, then ethyllithium could be used for
diethylamine(ethylethylamine) and propyllithuim could be used for ethylpropylamine. Will it work?

Would liquid sulphur, heated a bit above its melting point (~115 °C), attack food grade silicone polymer? Would vulcanization occur and affect it? I
have an idea, but I'm not willing to do any experiments yet.

A couple of years ago I tried some hydroforming with my pressure washer but it didn't have enough pressure. It says 1800 PSI on it, but it's old so
I'm sure it's less than that. Anyone know of a cheap and readily available pump (automotive maybe?) that can get to pressures of say 2500 PSI and
higher? If I can find the right pump I'd like to give this another try. I'm trying to form 4" diameter 1.6mm thick copper circles into a conical
cavity. Considering how incredibly soft copper is in it's annealed state, I thought my pressure washer would be plenty adequate. I thought wrong

The experiment to do is to immerse some samples
of the silicone you want to use in liquid sulfur and pull them out an periodic intervals. Wash in toluene to clean them. Examine, with a magnifier if
needed.
I would imagine that you'll get an attack. What I don't know is the degradation rate. I've not done the experiment, but I imagine you'll get
liberation of H2S and dehydrogenation of the polymer.

Thanks. I've got only one piece of it and I don't want to spend money on this experiment. Plus I don't have the opportunity to do it soon...

Can 4A molecular sieves be used to remove water vapor from H2 gas? Sigma says 3A is suited to this purpose but I only have 4A. Do molecular sieves
even absorb enough water to make them viable for drying H2 mixed with steam or would I just be better off passing the hydrogen over sodium sulfate or
a similar chemical dessicant?

Seems like you'd need a hydraulic pump of some sort, and they don't really come cheap. Even a hand-operated pump (which would be OK for your purpose
since you don't need any significant flow) sells for over $100.
The less you bet, the more you lose when you win.

You can get vac pressure flow connections for air compressors, there may be one for water aplications. Add a water cooling system to aid in getting
higher pressure's. maybe the pressure washer you already have can get you there. just a thaught. MM

4A MS will absorb water, if they are well activated (usually bought that way, but if old, they can be heated under vacuum to dry them.) You could
also use a chemical desicant like NaSO4, although it is slow to absorb, but it will be OK if there is a lot of H2O. But these types of drying agents
can only do so much, so fast, so the H2 needs to be relatively dry when it starts to have them dry it well. If you have very wet H2, it may take
several drying steps/towers to dry it well. But even H2 generated from water hydrolysis can be dried sufficiently with a drying column or two, under
most cases. We have used hydrolysis H2 generators for H2 in the lab, and they worked fine.

A bubbler
through concentrated sulfuric acid seems to be the standard first element in any drying train for gases generated from aqueous solutions. It will
eventually dilute, of course, and lose its drying power.
Also, the reference I have on hydrogen brazing recommends 5A sieves for taking water vapor from tank hydrogen. My guess is that the adsorption rate
may be a bit higher that with 4A.

Vogel 3rd ed uses 30% caustic refluxed for 30 mins, reaction followed via NH3 coming off (ie past the condenser), when this ceases then finished. Also
same edition uses refluxing HCl, reaction completed when solution loses turbidity.
if you have time i suggest just leaving it in 30%hcl for a week.

If I prepare methyl benzoate with methanol and benzoic acid I will get that great fruity smell that we all know and love, but, if I prepare benzyl
methanoate, i.e. with benzyl alcohol and methanoic acid (formic acid), will it still have the same smell?

That was what I thought...although I wasn't sure as the aromatic ring and aliphatic substituent were in the same 'place'.
