  2. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    acetyl chloride SOCl 2 acetic acid (i) Li[AlH 4], ether (ii) H 3 O + ethanol Two typical organic reactions of acetic acid Acetic acid undergoes the typical chemical reactions of a carboxylic acid. Upon treatment with a standard base, it converts to metal acetate and water. With strong bases (e.g., organolithium reagents), it can be doubly deprotonated to give LiCH 2 COOLi. Reduction of acetic ...

  3. Autoprotolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoprotolysis

    For example, water undergoes autoprotolysis in the self-ionization of water reaction. 2 H 2 O ⇌ OH − + H 3 O + For example, ammonia in its purest form may undergo autoprotolysis: 2 NH 3 ⇌ NH − 2 + NH + 4. Another example is acetic acid: 2 CH 3 COOH ⇌ CH 3 COO − + CH 3 COOH + 2

  4. Ethenone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethenone

    For example, it reacts with water to form acetic acid; [23] with acetic acid to form acetic anhydride; with ammonia and amines to form ethanamides; [24] and with dry hydrogen halides to form acetyl halides. [25] The formation of acetic acid likely occurs by an initial formation of 1,1-dihydroxyethene, which then tautomerizes to give the final ...

  5. Acetic anhydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_anhydride

    Acetic anhydride, or ethanoic anhydride, is the chemical compound with the formula (CH 3 CO) 2 O. Commonly abbreviated Ac 2 O, it is the simplest isolable anhydride of a carboxylic acid and is widely used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It is a colorless liquid that smells strongly of acetic acid, which is formed by its reaction with ...

  6. Wacker process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacker_process

    Extractive distillation with water removes the lights ends having lower boiling points than acetaldehyde (chloromethane, chloroethane, and carbon dioxide) at the top, while water and higher-boiling byproducts, such as acetic acid, crotonaldehyde or chlorinated acetaldehydes, are withdrawn together with acetaldehyde at the bottom. [27]

    the hydrolysis of substituted cinnamic acid ester in ethanol/water (+1.267) the ionization of substituted phenols in water (+2.008) the acid catalyzed esterification of substituted benzoic esters in ethanol (-0.085) the acid catalyzed bromination of substituted acetophenones (Ketone halogenation) in an acetic acid/water/hydrochloric acid (+0.417)

  8. Pharmacology of ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacology_of_ethanol

    If the reaction stops part way through the metabolic pathways, which happens because acetic acid is excreted in the urine after drinking, then not nearly as much energy can be derived from alcohol, indeed, only 215.1 kJ/mol. At the very least, the theoretical limits on energy yield are determined to be −215.1 kJ/mol to −1 325.6 kJ/mol.

  9. Potassium acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_acetate

    It can be prepared by treating a potassium-containing base such as potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate with acetic acid: CH 3 COOH + KOH → CH 3 COOK + H 2 O. This sort of reaction is known as an acid-base neutralization reaction. At saturation, the sesquihydrate in water solution (CH 3 COOK·1½H 2 O) begins to form semihydrate at 41.3 ...
