Methyl ethyl ketone has been photolyzed at temperatures between 25° and 240 °C., at varying pressures and intensities. Azomethane has also been photolyzed in the presence of methyl ethyl ketone. It is concluded that the ratio of disproportionation to recombination for a methyl and an ethyl radical is of the order of 0.04. The activation energy for the abstraction of hydrogen from the ketone by methyl is 7.4 ± 0.1 kcal., and by ethyl it is 8.0 ± 0.1 kcal.

Rates and products have been determined for the thermal decomposition of sec-butyl peroxide at 110–150 °C in several solvents.The decomposition was shown to be unimolecular with energies of activation in toluene, benzene, and cyclohexane of 35.5 ± 1.0, 33.2 ± 1.0, 33.8 ± 1.0 kcal/mole respectively. The activation energy of thermal decomposition for the deuterated peroxide was found to be 37.2 + 1.0 kcal/mole in toluene.About 70–80% of the products could be explained by known reactions of free alkoxy radicals, and very little, if any, disproportionation of two sec-butoxy radicals in the solvent cage could be detected.The other 20–30% of the peroxide yielded H2 and methyl ethyl ketone. The yield of H2 was unaffected by the nature or the viscosity of the solvent, but H2 was not formed when s-Bu2O2 was photolyzed in toluene at 35 °C nor when the peroxide was thermally decomposed in the gas phase.α,α′-Dideutero-sec-butyl peroxide was prepared and decomposed in toluene at 110–150 °C. The yield of D2 was about the same as the yield of H2 from s-Bu2O2, but the rate of decomposition (at 135 °C) was only 1/1.55 as fast.Mechanisms for hydrogen production are discussed, but none satisfactorily explains all the evidence.

In this paper, we have performed the Lipozyme 435-catalyzed synthesis of xylose oleate in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) from xylose and oleic acid. The effects of substrates’ molar ratios, reaction temperature, reaction time on esterification rates, and Lipozyme 435 reuse were studied. Results showed that an excess of oleic acid (xylose: oleic acid molar ratio of 1:5) significantly favored the reaction, yielding 98% of xylose conversion and 31% oleic acid conversion after 24 h-reaction (mainly to xylose mono- and dioleate, as confirmed by mass spectrometry). The highest Lipozyme 435 activities occurred between 55 and 70 °C. The predicted Ping Pong Bi Bi kinetic model fitted very well to the experimental data and there was no evidence of inhibitions in the range assessed. The reaction product was purified and presented an emulsion capacity close to that of a commercial sugar ester detergent. Finally, the repeated use of Lipozyme 435 showed a reduction in the reaction yields (by 48 and 19% in the xylose and oleic acid conversions, respectively), after ten 12 h-cycles.

Background: This work aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sonic agitation of a binary mixture of solvents (methyl ethyl ketone/tetrachloroethylene) on filling remnants removal and compare the effects of solvent agitation with the enlargement to the next instrument size. Methods: Twenty-four mandibular incisors were prepared with ProTaper Next (X1, X2) and obturated with the single-cone technique and AH Plus sealer. The teeth were retreated with ProTaper Universal Retreatment and ProTaper Next and divided into two groups (n = 12) according to the final instrument (X3 or X4). All canals were submitted to a supplementary procedure consisting of a mixture of solvents―methyl ethyl ketone/tetrachloroethylene, agitated with EndoActivator. The volume of filling remnants was assessed through micro-computed tomography in the apical 5 mm. Statistical analysis was performed with a significance level of 5%. Results: The supplementary procedure of agitation of the solvent mixture was beneficial in both groups (p < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between canals re-prepared until X4 and canals re-prepared until X3 plus solvent (p > 0.05). Conclusions: An additional step with a two-solvent solution potentiated by EndoActivator showed to be very effective for the removal of gutta-percha and resinous sealer remnants from apical root canals of mandibular incisors, avoiding further enlargement.
