The Acetoacetic Ester Condensation. VII. The Condensation of Various Alkyl Acetates

Demonstration of CO2 Conversion to Synthetic Transport Fuel at Flue Gas Concentrations

“…A Claisen condensation was carried out using a previously published procedure which emphasized the importance of ensuring the alkoxide salt was of highest purity possible to achieve maximum yield (Fisher and McElvain, 1934). Therefore, freshly prepared sodium ethoxide (1.3 g, 19 mmol) was added to the azeotropic mixture from the previous reaction and heated under reflux for 24 h. The mixture was then cooled and aqueous acetic acid added slowly to quench the base.…”

Determination of Carboxylic Acids Present as Esters in Plasticizers and Polymers by Transesterification and Gas Chromatography

“…Conversion to the methyl esters has been quantitative for a variety of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acid esters of aliphatic and aromatic mono-and polyhydroxy compounds. Acid contents in the range 3 to 81% have been studied. Free carboxylic acids are not converted to their methyl esters by this technique.…”

Sodium Dispersions in Acetoacetic Ester Condensation

“…ane were formed. Very little olefin survived in the gaseous products.The commercial application of high pressure pyrolysis of low boiling hydrocarbons has been described by Keith and Ward(4,5) and by Bogk Ostergaard, and Smoley (I).…”
