The Reduction Of Carbonyl Compounds By Sodium Naphthalenide, James Stinnett Nov 1971

The Reduction Of Carbonyl Compounds By Sodium Naphthalenide, James Stinnett

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this investigation was to study the reactions of sodium naphthaienide with various aromatic carbonyl compounds, particularly aromatic aldehydes and ketones. Although sodium naphthalenide was first investigated in 1936 by Scott et al, the synthetic utility of this alkali metal adduct in organic chemistry has only recently been explored. It was thought that sodium naphthalenide might provide a synthetic advantage, as compared to sodium metal solutions, in the reduction of carbonyl functions to their respective glycols and/or alcohols.

Thermionic Space Charge Oscillations, William Carl Nov 1971

Thermionic Space Charge Oscillations, William Carl

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Thermionic electrons emitted into a potential well will produce radiation, the frequency of which is determined by the transit time of the electrons. This paper investigates the case where radiation is produced by a vacuum tube in which two Pierce guns face each other, one acting as the emitter, the other acting as a reflector. Symmetry and the focusing of the electron beam by the Pierce guns make it possible to make an accurate determination of the electron transit time. Measurements showed that the period of the oscillation was 1.5 times the period required for an electron to traverse the …
