Abstract:
Zn-Al-CO(3) layered double hydroxide was synthesized at room temperature using a procedure reported elsewhere. After characterization, 0.5 g of the Zn-Al-CO(3) layered compound was reacted under air with 15 cm(3) of ethylene glycol at 80 degrees C for a period of 5 days. After washing with acetone and drying at 50 degrees C, the resulting white powder was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, thermal analysis (simultaneous TG/DSC), elemental analysis (C, H, N, Al, and Zn content), and FTIR spectroscopy. All of the experimental data were consistent with the bidentade grafting of ethylene glycol into the interlayer surface of the Al-Zn double hydroxide. The stoichiometry obtained [Zn(0.66)Al(0.34)(OCH(2)CH(2)O)](OH)(0.34).0.4H(2)O] showed that all of the surface hydroxide groups were replaced by ethylene glycol through Al-(Zn)-O-C bonds. Carbonate could not be detected by FTIR, proving that OH(-) was probably the actual intercalated counteranion. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

Grignard reagents are a source of carbanions and function as nucleophiles. The mechanism begins with the nucleophilic attack by the carbanion at the carbonyl carbon of the acid halide to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Next, the carbonyl group is re-formed, and the halide ion departs,...
