Title: A method for the preparation of n-ú¯-butyl-n-(ú­-acetamido-benzene-sulfonyl)-urea
Filed: 1956-05-29
Abstract: N - n - Butyl - N1 - (p - acetamidobenzene sulphonyl)-urea is prepared by reacting n-butylcarbamyl chloride with an anhydrous inorganic or organic salt of N4-acetylsulphanilamide.  The preferred salts are those of alkali metals and of tertiary organic bases, e.g. pyridine, and in the latter case the salt is preferably formed in situ.  In examples: (1) N4-acetylsulphanilamide in anhydrous pyridine is treated with n-butylcarbamyl chloride and the mixture heated to 120-25 DEG  C., yielding N-n-butyl-N1-(p - acetamidobenzenesulphonyl) - urea, purified by solution in aqueous sodium carbonate, reprecipitation with acid, and crystallization from aqueous alcohol; (2) the sodium salt of N4-acetylsulphanilamide is treated with n-butylcarbamyl chloride yielding N-n-butyl-N1-(p-acetamidobenzenesulphonyl)-urea which is purified as in (1).  Subsequent saponification with boiling 10 per cent NaOH yields N-n-butyl-N1-sulphanilyl-urea.

Abstract: 515,631. Breaking petroleum emulsions. I. G. FARBENINDUSTRIE AKT.-GES. June 8, 1938, Nos. 17018, and 17019. Convention dates, June 8, 1937, and Nov. 23, 1937. [Class 91] Crude petroleum emulsions containing salt water are broken by adding a small amount of a product obtained by reacting an alkylene oxide with an aliphatic, aromatic, aliphatic-aromatic, or cyclo-aliphatic compound having a hydroxyl, carboxyl, or amino group. In examples the following are specified as the second reacting component, a mixture of higher alcohols from hexyl to octyl alcohol, montanic alcohol, isooctyl phenol, octyl phenol, ricinoleic acid, castor oil, colophony, sperm oil alcohols, oleic acid, stearylamine, and a mixture of isomeric dodecylto tetradecyl-phenols. The products are soluble both in oil and in water. The polyether-polyoxalkyl products described in Specification 470,181 and in French Specification 727,202 are especially suitable. With these agents two aqueous layers are formed above a critical temperature, one poor in agent, and the other containing the bulk of the agent; by increasing the temperature the second phase loses further water and becomes more concentrated in the agent. 100 to 500 grams of the product are added to 1 ton of the emulsion, and after standing 3-24 hours at 50-60‹C., the phases are completely separated, and the oil is recovered.
