Preparation of 1-C14-Propene-1 and the Mechanism of Permanganate Oxidation of Propene (open access)

Preparation of 1-C14-Propene-1 and the Mechanism of Permanganate Oxidation of Propene

1-C{sup 14}-propene has been prepared. The migration of the double bond under a variety of experimental conditions in the preparation of propene has been investigated. The mechanism of the permanganate oxidation of the labeled propene has been examined; it has been found to proceed by several paths, the relative importance of which depends upon the experimental conditions, especially the pH.

Processing of Special Metal for Hanford (open access)

Processing of Special Metal for Hanford

The object of this project is to reduce the impurities and raise the density of rejected slugs and briquetted turnings from these slugs by recasting the material. Summary and conclusions are (1) slugs and briquettes made from turnings produced when these slugs were machined can be recast with great improvement in quality; (2) casting this material is quite hard on graphite crucibles, but a long-range program might point the way to better graphite usage; (3) this metal run alone gives fair yields (88.8% to 94.8%) if heated to 2500 F and then cooled to 2400 F before pouring. Mixing with virgin metal improves the final quality, but does not materially increase the yield; (4) briquettes should not be mixed with magnesium before recasting.
