The Reaction Of Some Sodium Salts Of Fatty Acids And Benzoic Acid With Α-Bromobenzyl Cyanide, Richard W. Perkins

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Fife (4) and O'Shaughnessy (12) have made a series of di-esters by allowing the sodium salts of various fatty acids to react with ethyl monochloracetate according to the following equation:

RCO₂Na ≠ ClCH₂CO₂C₂H₅ ---------> RCO₂CH₂CO₂C₂H₅ ≠ NaCl .

The mechanism of the reaction appears to be ionic and to involve the attack of an RCO₂^- ion on the carbon atom to which the chlorine atom is attached. As the RCO₂^- approaches this carbon atom the chlorine atom moves …

Geology Of The Rendezvous Peak Area, Cache And Box Elder Counties, Utah, Robert L. Ezell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This thesis presents the results of a geologic investigation of the Rendezvous Peak area, Cache and Box Elder Counties, Utah (Figure 1). The area lies between the Bear River Range on the east and the Northern Wasatch Mountains on the west (Figure 2). It is south of Cache Valley in which Logan, Utah, is located and north of Ogden Valley, east of the Wasatch Range near Ogden, Utah.

The Rendezvous Peak area is centrally located in a little known and critical area between the Logan Peak syncline in the Bear River Range and the more complex structures in the Wasatch …

Effect Of Bicarbonate Ion And Root Aeration On Lime-Induced Chlorosis, Willard L. Lindsay

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Chlorosis in plants has been recognized as a devastating disease for over one-hundred and fifty years. It is easily recognized by a yellowing of the plant foilage and is associated with a reduced chlorophyll synthesis.

Chlorosis is found so frequently on calcareous soils that its cause is attributed at least in part to this soil factor. It is therefore referred to as lime-induced chlorosis. This type of chlorosis has become a serious problem, especially in many of the fruit-growing regions of Europe and the Western United States where the soils are calcareous. In Utah the disease is more destructive than …
