An evaluation of methods of analysis for alkylamino-oxomethanesulphates

Abstract:
Three possible ways of determining univalent cation salts of alkylamino-oxomethanesulphonic acids. R-NHCOSO(-)(3)M(+), were examined. Of these methods (gravimetric determination as the urea, as barium sulphate, or by an iodometric method), the iodometric method of estimating the bisulphite liberated from alkylamino-oxomethanesulphonates by decomposition with sodium hydroxide was finally selected and evaluated. Results obtained are in good agreement with theory for R = butyl and R = -(CH(2))(6)-. The iodometric method was equally applicable to polyurethane precursors. Free or excess of bisulphite (and accordingly total bisulphite) was determined successfully in the case of the polymeric adduct.

Preparation of Alkynes: Alkylation Reaction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
