The hydroxyl proton chemical shifts of a series of substituted 2-hydroxybenzophenones dissolved in carbon tetrachloride vary by 2.35 p.p.m. a t room temperature. The individual shifts change only about 0.3 p.p.m. from -25 to +80°, and are similarly insensitive to concentration. The infrared 0-H stretching bands have half-intensity widths of -400 cm.-l, and peaks at 2940 to 3200 cm.-l. A correlation is found between the hydroxyl shifts and the 0-H frequencies. Both hydroxyl groups of 2,2'-dihydroxybenzophenones appear to be chelated, although less strongly than those of the 2-hydroxybenzophenones.

Discussion The chemical shift of the hydroxyl proton of a 2-hydroxybenzophenone can be expected to arise in a complex manner. Diamagnetic currents induced in the adjacent aromatic r i r ~ g , and ~ , ~ the angle, strength and extent of formation of hydrogen bonds are factors that should influence the observed shifts. If the subsidiary contributions are similar for all the derivatives, it is possible that the hydroxyl shifts are related monotonically to the hydrogen-bond strengths. As shown in Fig. 2, the individual 2-hydroxyl shifts are all relatively insensitive to temperature, changing only some 10 C.P.S. over a range of about 100'. This behavior contrasts with that of an intermolecularly hydrogen-bonded 4-hydroxyl group, whose shift changes about 1 c.p.s. per degree at the concentrations employed here. Similarly, the 2-hydroxyl shifts are relatively independent of concentration, as shown in Table 11. Although the 2-hydroxyl shifts include a small intermolecular contribution at high concentrations, they primarily reflect the strength of chelation. The infrared spectra also support virtually complete chelation of the 2-hydroxyl groups. Their 0-H stretching absorptions are displaced some 400 to 660 cm.-' from the free 0-H frequency near 3600 cm.-'. and are broadened some twenty-fold. Even a t concentrations of 0.01 M , no free 0-H peak is detected for the 2-hydroxy compounds. In the unsymmetrically substituted compound 7 (2,2'-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone)residence times for the two hydroxyl proton sites are sufficiently long to give two narrow resonance peaks separated by 50 c.p.s. Despite this difference in shift, the behavior of both peaks meets the criteria for chelation. Furthermore, the infrared 0-H and 0-D bands each appear single and no broader than those of other derivatives (Fig. 1). No changes are found in infrared spectra taken a t concentrations from 1.5 to 0.01 M that would suggest intermolecular hydrogen bonding of one of the hydroxyl groups. Although the separation of the 1i.m.r. peaks may indicate different chelation (6) M. St. C. Flett, J. Chem. SOC.,1441 (1948). (7) D. Hadzi and N. Sheppard, Trans.

strengths for the two ortho-hydroxyl groups, other magnetic shielding effects also may contribute. The 0-H infrared absorption bands cannot be located with the same accuracy as the n.m.r. resonances. However, the symmetry of the 0-H bands, and the previously mentioned isotopic shift between their frequencies and those of the narrower, more readily located 0-D bands are helpful in establishing band-center frequencies.

0-H band itself. (C-H interference varies with the different compounds). The actual centers are more likely to occur near the middle of each range. Figure 3 shows that the larger chemical shifts correspond to lower 0-H frequencies. Each of these respective trends is associated with stronger hydrogen bonding. A similar correlation has been found by Reeves, Allan and Strgimme for intramolecular bonds in phenols and naphthols. lo Figure 3 and the additional infrared data in Table I indicate that the 2-hydroxybenzophenones have the strongest hydrogen bonds. Double chelation of the carbonyl group in 2,2'-dihydroxybenzophenones appears to reduce the strength of each bond, although not markedly. Again, the relative independence of the n.m.r. and infrared parameters to temperature and concentration indicates that both hydroxyl groups in these compounds are chelated. According to Stuart-Briegleb atom models, coplanarity of the two aromatic rings with the carbonyl group of benzophenone is prevented by steric hindrance between the 6- and 6'-hydrogen atoms. The minimum angle between rings appears to be about 30'. The hydroxyl group and its phenyl ring, and the carbonyl group of 2-hydroxy(10) L. W. Reeves, E. A. Allan and K. 0. Strgmme, Can. J. Chem., 38, 1249 (1960).

benzophenone can be coplanar. In a 2,2'-dihydroxybenzophenone, simultaneous planarity of both rings and their hydroxyl groups with the carbonyl group is impossible without distortion of bond angles. To line up with the carbonyl oxygen atom, each hydroxyl group must turn out of the plane of its phenyl ring. A 15O-offset of each ring from the carbonyl group would seem to be the required compromise, a t least for those derivatives in which both rings are identically substituted. It was noted that the separate hydroxyl proton resonances from compound 7 may arise because of unequal hydrogen-bond strengths. In this and other unsymmetrically substituted 2,2'-dihydroxybenzophenones, the phenyl ring whose hydroxyl group is more strongly chelated may be held more nearly coplanar with the carbonyl group than the other ring. A steric hindrance to planarity could partly account for the weaker chelation of each hydroxyl group in the 2,2'-dihydroxybenzophenones. Acknowledgments.-Helpful discussions were held with W. D. Phillips of our Central Research Department, and with H. Kobsa of the Pioneering Research Laboratory, Textile Fibers Department and R.

SOLUBILITY OF CALCIUM CARBIDE I N FUSED SALT SYSTEMS BY WILLIAMA. BARBERAND CAROLL. SLOAN Central Research Division, American Cyanmid Co., Stamford, Connecticut Received M a y 1.9, 1981

Calcium carbide, CaC2, has been found to be soluble in a number of pure alkali and alkaline earth salts and salt mixtures a t temperatures up to 1000'. The highest solubilities were observed with lithium salts. The variation of solubility with temperature has been determined in several of these solvents. Measured solubilities are compared with those predicted theoretically for the ideal case.

Introduction Informatmionon the solubility of CaC2 is exceedingly scarce. No material which is liquid a t or near room temperature is known to dissolve CaC2. It has been mentionedl incidental to some work on Li2C2 that CaCz is soluble in some hydride-containing melts, but no quantitative information has been presented. It is known that CaCz forms eutectics with Ca02and with CaCXz,3but, because these mixtures melt above 1000°, they have limited utility. We now wish to report the results of a study concerning the solubility of calcium carbide in fused alkali and alkaline earth salts and their mixtures below 1OOO". Experimental Apparatus.-For pre aring solutions a vertical, electrically heated furnace (Levi-Duty Electric Co.) was used which accommodates a cylindrical tube of 1.25 inches 0.d. Since Pyrex or Vycor glass containers were found to be attacked by some melts, especially those containing Li+, the experiments were performed using stainless steel tubes. Although stainless steel is not completely inert to the melt, (1) A. Guntz and F. Benoit, Compt. rend., 176, 970 (1923). (2) G. Fluein and C. Aall, ibid.. 801, 451 (3) H. Franok and H. Heimann, 2.

(1935).

no significant amounts of corrosion products appeared in the filtered mixtures (determined by ultraviolet emission spectroscopic analysis: Fe < 1 p.p.m.; Cr, Ni, Mn not detectable). The apparatus used is a modification of that deecribed by Solomons, et u E . , ~ and is pictured in Fig. 1 . The melt was supported either on a coarse porosity Micrometallic stainlesa steel filter or a solid stainless steel disc perforated with 1 / 3 2 1 1 holes. Since the remainder of the apparatus was of Pyrex glass, the joints of the furnace tube were wrapped with water-cooled copper coils to protect the glass connections from thermally caused stress. Temperatures were measured with a Chromel-Alumel thermocouple inserted in a stainless steel thermocouple well and read on a Leeds & Northrup Type K potentiometer. Materials.-Argon gas (Linde High Purity grade) was further dried bv Dassine it through activated alumina (medried a t 400' for keverar hours). The calcium carbide used was ordinary commercial grade material (about 85% pure). The major impurity, CaO, was found to be insoluble in most of the melts studied. The carbide was broken into approximately 1/s to 1/4 inch lumps a t the time of use, and finer material was discarded. Reagent grade salts were used without further urification. LiCl and CaCL were placed in graphite crucibfes and premelted in a Lindberg crucible furnace under a flow of argon gas. This procedure served to remove any water picked up in handling and provided blocks of salt which were easier to keep dry. Any additional water present in the salts was
