Abstract:
Five acetic acid ionic liquids (AcAILs) [C(n)mim][OAc](n = 2,3,4,5,6) (1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate) were prepared by the neutralization method and characterized by (1)HNMR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The values of their density and surface tension were measured at 298.15 ± 0.05 K. Since the AcAILs can strongly form hydrogen bonds with water, the small amounts of water are difficult to remove from the AcAILs by common methods. In order to eliminate the effect of the trace water, the standard addition method (SAM) was applied to these measurements. As a new concept, ionic parachor was put forward. [OAc](-) was seen as a reference ion, and its individual value of ionic parachor was determined in terms of two extrathermodynamic assumptions. Then, the values of ionic parachors of a number of anions, [NTf(2)](-), [Ala](-), [AlCl(4)](-), and [GaCl(4)](-), were obtained by using the value of the ionic parachor of the reference ion; the parachor and surface tension of the investigated ionic liquids in literature were estimated. In comparison, the estimated values correlate quite well with their matching experimental values.

02:42Acidity of 1-Alkynes
The acidic strength of hydrocarbons follows the order: Alkynes > Alkenes > Alkanes. The strength of an acid is commonly expressed in units of pKa — the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid. Among the hydrocarbons, terminal alkynes have lower pKa values and are, therefore, more acidic. For example, the pKa values for ethane, ethene, and acetylene are 51, 44, and 25, respectively, as shown here.

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.

The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
