p-Menthane is a hydrocarbon with the formula (CH 3) 2 CHC 6 H 10 CH 3. It is the product of the hydrogenation or hydrogenolysis of various terpenoids, including p-cymene, terpinolenes, phellandrene, and limonene. It is a colorless liquid with a fragrant fennel-like odor. It occurs naturally, especially in exudates of Eucalyptus fruits.
A Ziegler–Natta catalyst, named after Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, is a catalyst used in the synthesis of polymers of 1-alkenes (alpha-olefins).Two broad classes of Ziegler–Natta catalysts are employed, distinguished by their solubility:
CH 3 SH + CH 3 ONa → CH 3 SNa + CH 3 OH. The resulting thiolate anion is a strong nucleophile. It can be oxidized to dimethyl disulfide: 2CH 3 SH + [O] → CH 3 SSCH 3 + H 2 O. Further oxidation takes the disulfide to two molecules of methanesulfonic acid, which is odorless. Bleach deodorizes methanethiol in this way.
Ethylparaben (ethyl para-hydroxybenzoate) is the ethyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Its formula is HO-C 6 H 4-CO-O-CH 2 CH 3. It is a member of the class of compounds known as parabens. It is used as an antifungal preservative. As a food additive, it has E number E214.
