2-Pyrrolidinoethyl Esters Of Para Alkoxybenzoic And Para Alkox Alkoxycinnamic Acids, Michael James Fletcher

Master's Theses

One of the most important groups of local anesthetics is the class of alkyl and dialkylaminoalkyl esters of aromatic acids. Of these compounds, the diethylaminoethyl esters are particularly valuable.

It is obvious that pyrrolidine is merely a modified form of diethylamine. The purpose of this work is to learn the effect of substituting the N-pyrrolidyl nucleus for the diethyl amino nucleus in various esters of the local anesthetic type.

Phase Behavior Of Sodium Stearate In Anhydrous Cyclohexane, Walter Edward Reid Jr.

Master's Theses

Soap solutions, aqueous and non-aqueous, are characteristic in that they firm colloidal systems at certain concentrations, the properties of which are influenced by temperature and pressure. Application of the Gibbs phase rule to such systems makes possible the location of the various phases of a particular system and hence enables phase diagrams to be constructed. For systems of soap-hydrocarbons such as are found in fuels, beauty preparations, greases, medical preparations, etc., a phase diagram would show very readily the most satisfactory composition for the conditions desired.

Cyclic Derivatives Of Tris (Hydroxymethyl) Aminomethane : Monourethans And Ureas, Julian Lee Rush Jr.

Master's Theses

The purpose of the work reported in this thesis was to study the chemistry of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (A), H2Nc(cH20H) 3, a beta-hydroxy amine.
