Abstract:
Two kinds of phenol- and N- containing borate ester, BTEB and BMEB have good hydrolysis stability due to the B-N coordination bond. The PB value improved by 60.7% and 67.6% respectively at 0.5wt% BTEB, BMEB in rapeseed oil. Their antiwear effect increases with the increase of adding content, and BMEB is better than BTEB. The friction-reducing effect of BTEB is better than BMEB. All additives formed a protective film which containing BOx, FeOx and other organic nitrogen compounds. The better capacities of BMEB may due to the complex boundary lubricating film which contain ferrous sulfate, ferrous sulfide. All additives possessed good antioxidation effect, and it increased the oxidation activation energy than rapeseed oil by 51.15% and 78.82% respectively at 0.25wt%.

Among the carboxylic acid derivatives, the boiling points of acid chlorides and esters are very similar and are the lowest in the series. Acid anhydrides have slightly higher boiling...
Conjugate Addition (1,4-Addition) vs Direct Addition (1,2-Addition)
Conjugate addition results in a thermodynamically stable product. The reaction retains the stronger C=O bond at the expense of the weaker C=C π bond. The process is slow as the β carbon is less electrophilic than the carbonyl carbon.
Direct addition products are...
Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
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.
