The oxidation of ethylene has been studied on evaporated films of palladium in the temperature range 50 to 140 °C, and products were analyzed by means of a mass spectrometer. The main reaction was complete oxidation to carbon dioxide and water, but trace amounts of acetic anhydride and acetic acid were formed by a side reaction. Kinetic studies showed that the reaction was zero order with respect to the pressure of oxygen, first order in ethylene at low pressures but zero order at high pressures, and progressively poisoned by the two minor products. The activation energy associated with the initial rate of reaction was 14 kcal/mole. A number of subsidiary experiments were carried out including the oxidation of acetaldehyde at 77 °C which occurred rapidly producing acetic anhydride and some acetic acid. A reaction scheme was developed which accounted for the detailed kinetic behaviour of the oxidation of ethylene and possible mechanisms are discussed

3β-Acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) reacts with acetic anhydride in pyridine under very mild conditions affording β-lactone IVa and γ-lactones Va and VIIa as condensation products. On reaction with pyridine, lactones Va and VIIa undergo elimination of acetic acid to give unsaturated lactones VIIIa and IXa, respectively. Similarly, the condensation of 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with acetic anhydride leads to β-lactone IVb and γ-lactone Vb; the latter on heating with pyridine affords unsaturated lactone VIIIb and 21-methylene-22-ketone Xb. The structure of the obtained compounds was derived using spectral methods, particularly 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy; structure of lactone IVa was confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

The present study aims at assessing the effect of microwave irradiation against thermal heat on the production of N-acetyl-p-anisidine by acetylation of p-anisidine. The acetylation of p-anisidine under microwave irradiation produces N-acetyl-p-anisidine in shorter reaction times, which offers a benefit to the laboratories as well as industries. It also eliminates the use of excess solvent. Effects of operating parameters such as reaction time, feed composition, and microwave energy and reaction temperature on selectivity to the desired product have been investigated. The results indicate as high as a 98% conversion of N-acetyl-p-anisidine can be achieved within 12-15 minutes using acetic acid. The use of acetic acid as an acetylating agent against conventionally used acetic anhydride eliminates the handling of explosive acetic anhydride and also the energy intensive distillation step for separation of acetic acid. Organic solvent like acetic anhydride are not only hazardous to the environment, they are also expensive and flammable.
