Abstract
Abstract An improved method for preparing ethyl vanadate by reacting vanadium oxytrichloride with ethanol in the presence of ammonia and a hydrocarbon solvent and thereafter adding an amide which forms two liquid phases, one phase containing the ethyl vanadate and the other containing the undissolved ammonium chloride.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
An improved method for preparing ethyl vanadate by reacting under substantially anhydrous conditions vanadium oxytrichloride with ethanol in a mole ratio of vanadium oxytrichloride to ethanol of from 1:1 to 1:6 and at a temperature of from about 0° to about 80° C in the presence of ammonia, the improvement which comprises conducting the reaction in the presence of an inert hydrocarbon solvent and thereafter adding an amide selected from the class consisting of formamide and methyl formamide in a weight ratio of amide to vanadium oxytrichloriide of at least 1.5:1, said hydrocarbon solvent is immiscible with the amide and is a nonsolvent for the ammonium chloride.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
An improved method for preparing ethyl vanadate by reacting under substantially anhydrous conditions vanadium oxytrichloride with ethanol in a mole ratio of vanadium oxytrichloride to ethanol of from 1:1 to 1:6 and at a temperature of from about 0° to about 80° C in the presence of ammonia, the improvement which comprises conducting the reaction in the presence of an inert hydrocarbon solvent and thereafter adding an amide selected from the class consisting of formamide and methyl formamide in a weight ratio of amide to vanadium oxytrichloriide of at least 1.5:1, said hydrocarbon solvent is immiscible with the amide and is a nonsolvent for the ammonium chloride.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The improved method of claim 1 wherein the hydrocarbon solvent is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The improved method of claim 2 wherein the hydrocarbon solvent is present in a weight ratio of hydrocarbon solvent to vanadium oxytrichloride of from 1:1 to 5:1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The improved method of claim 1 wherein the amide is present in a weight ratio of amide to vanadium oxytrichloride of from about 2:1 to about 3:1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
The improved method of claim 1 wherein an inert gas is passed through the reaction mixture to remove hydrogen chloride prior to the addition of ammonia.
