A comparison of hydrogen bonding solvent effects on the singlet oxygen reactions of allyl and vinyl sulfides, sulfoxides, and sulfones

The singlet oxygen (¹Δ_g) photooxidations of 2-methyl-3-phenylthio-2-butene (1a), 1-[(4-nitrophenyl)thio]-2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (2c), 2-methyl-3-phenylsulfinyl-2-butene (3), 2-methyl-3-phenylsulfonyl-2-butene (6), and 1-[(4-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]-2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (7c) were conducted in the following deuterated solvents: acetonitrile, benzene, chloroform, methanol, or methanol/water mixture. In each case the ene allylic hydroperoxide products and/or the [2+2] cycloaddition products were quantified and inspected for possible hydrogen bonding induced differences in product selectivity and regiochemistry. After comparison to literature values for related substrates, the results indicate that only photooxidations of vinyl sulfides are susceptible to hydrogen bonding solvent effects.     

Ungewöhnliche reaktion eines 1-cyclopropylvinyl-kations

1-Bromo-1-cyclopropyl-2-methyl-1-propene (7) does not react with cyclohexene and AgSbF₆ with formation of the expected cycloadduct 9. The first generated cyclopropylvinyl-cation 8 rearranges to the allyl-cation 10 which after addition to the olefins cyclohexene and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (19) via unusual rearrangements gives the dienes 17 and 20 respectively.     

Exciplex and radical ion intermediates in the photochemical reaction of 9-cyanophenanthrene with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene

The photochemical reaction of 9-cyanophenanthrene and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, first reported by Mizuno, Pac and Sakurai, has been reinvestigated. The formation of a [2+2]-cycloadduct via a singlet exciplex is the exclusive reaction in the nonpolar solvents benzene and ethyl acetate. Photochemical behavior in polar solvents is far more complicated than previously reported. Mechanisms consistent with the effects of solvent polarity, methanol concentration, methanol deuteration, and light intensity upon product yields are proposed. Formation of a 9-cyanophenthrene anion radical and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene cation radical is the primary photoinitiated process in polar solvent. The cation radical can undergo deprotonation to yield an allyl radical or nucleophilic attack by methanol to yield a methoxyalkyl radical. Covalent bonding of these radicals and the 9-cyanophenanthrene anion radical gives rise to the acyclic adducts obtained in polar solvents. The anion radical can also be protonated, leading ultimately to the formation of 9,10-dihydro-9-cyanophenanthrene.     

Hydroformylation of naphthas with a rhodium complex in biphasic medium

The chlorocarbonyl bis-[butylphenyl (meta-sulfonate-phenyl)phosphine] rhodium (I) complex shows catalytic hydroformylation activity in toluene/water biphasic medium for 1-hexene, cyclohexene, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene and 2-methyl-2-pentene, their binary mixtures and a real Venezuelan naphtha, under standardized reaction conditions (1000 psi of syngas (1:1 H₂/CO), 100°C, substrate/catalyst molar ratio (600:1) and 4 h reaction time), obtaining high percent conversion to oxygenated products.     

Isomerism in jet-cooled 1-cyanonaphthalene complexes

The effect of complexation on the first electronic transition of 1-cyanonaphthalene has been studied for complexes with aprotic polar solvents (acetonitrile, diethylether) or olefins (2-methyl-2-butene, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene). In both cases, isomerism has been evidenced. With polar solvents, two strong absorption bands appear in the 0 ₀ ⁰ region, one being shifted to the red and the other one to the blue side of the bare cyanonaphthalene transition. These two bands have been assigned to two isomeric forms involving specific interactions between the solvent and the cyanonaphthalene molecule. These isomers have been shown to interconvert at higher vibronic energies. With the 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene a broad absorption band leading to a red shifted fluorescence has been observed and assigned to an exciplex. With the 2-methyl-2-butene, one observes the superposition of narrow and broad bands in the excitation spectrum. These two systems have been assigned to two isomeric forms, one of them crossing to an exciplex in the excited state. At higher vibronic energy, emission from the two conformers is observed.

Photoaddition Reactions of 5-Fluoro-4,4-dimethyl-2-cyclopentenone

The photoaddition of 5-fluoro-4,4-dimethyl-2-cyclopentenone ( 4 ) to 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene leads specifically (in cyclohexane) and selectively (in acetonitrile) to the formation of the oxetanes 16 . The title compound is compared in its behaviour to the analogous 6-fluoro-4,4-dimethyl-2-cyclohexenone ( 1 ) and both α'-fluoro-4,4-dimethyl-2-cycloalkenones in turn are compared to the corresponding 2-cycloalkenones ( 6 and 3 ) and 4,4-dimethyl-2-cycloalkenones ( 5 and 2 ). The quantum yield for the addition of these enones to 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene and to cyclopentene are discussed.     

Mo(CO)3(NCMe)(PPh3)2: Synthesis, X-ray structure and evaluation of its catalytic activity for the homogeneous hydrogenation of olefins and their mixtures

The complex Mo(CO)₃(NCMe)(PPh₃)₂, was synthesized by the reaction of Mo(NCMe)₃(CO)₃ with two equivalents of PPh₃ and characterized by UV–Vis, IR, NMR and X-ray diffraction. This complex was used as a catalyst precursor for the hydrogenation of 1-hexene, styrene, cyclohexene and 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene and their mixtures under moderate conditions in homogeneous media. Under mild reaction conditions (T = 373 K, P = 60 atm), the substrates showed the following reactivity order: styrene > 1-hexene > cyclohexene > 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene. A quaternary equimolar mixture showed a different hydrogenation order: 1-hexene > cyclohexene > styrene > 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene; the presence of dibenzothiophene or mercury does not interfere with the activity of the catalyst.     

Rate constants for the gas-phase reaction of C5?C10 alkenes with ozone

The gas-phase reaction of ozone with C₅? C₁₀ alkenes(eight 1-alkenes, four 1,1-disubstituted alkenes, and cyclohexene) has been investigated at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature (285–293 K). Cyclohexane was added to scavenge the hydroxyl radical, which forms as a product of the ozone-alkene reaction. The reaction rate constants, in units of 10^?18 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, are 9.6±1.6 for 1-pentene, 9.7±1.4 for 1-hexene, 9.4±0.4 for 1-heptene, 12.5±0.4 for 1-octene, 8.0±1.4 for 1-decene, 3.8±0.6 for 3-methyl-1-pentene, 7.3±0.7 for 4-methyl-1-pentene, 3.9±0.9 for 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene, 13.3±1.4 for 2-methyl-1-butene, 12.5±1.1 for 2-methyl-1-pentene, 10.0±0.3 for 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene, 13.7±0.9 for 2-ethyl-1-butene, and 84.6±1.0 for cyclohexene. Substituent effects on alkene reactivity are examined. Steric effect appear to be important for all 1,1-disubstituted alkenes as well as for those 1-alkenes that bear s-butyl and t-butyl groups. The results are briefly discussed with respect to the atomospheric persistence of the alkenes studied. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Solvent dependence of singlet oxygen / substrate interactions in ene-reactions, (4+2)- and (2+2)-cycloaddition reactions

Product formation of singlet oxygen reactions with simple olefins occurring as ene-reactions, (4+2)- and (2+2)-cycloaddition reactions is independent on solvent polarity. Thus, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (1) and 2-methy]-2-butene (3), 1,3-cyclohexadiene (6), and benzvalene (8) yield allylic hydroperoxides (2) and(4) (54%) + (5) (46%), endoperoxide (7), and dioxetane (9), respectively. The rates of the ene-reactions and (4+2)-cycloaddition reactions are only slightly dependent, those of the (2+2)-cycloaddition reaction, however,are clearly dependent on solvent polarity. “Physical” quenching of singlet oxygen by the olefins is negligible, but substantial by the sensitizer tetraphenylporphin (TPP) in chlorinated solvents.

Dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation of 1,2-cyclohexanediones

The dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation of the enols of 1,2-cyclohexanedione (1) has been carried out in various solvents at -70°-40°. Singlet oxygen is involved in the reaction as evidenced by quenching and rate enhancement observed in deuterated methanol. The reaction proceeds by an ene reaction with singlet oxygen to afford the hydroperoxide, 4, which closes to a five-membered endoperoxide, 5, as a major path or to dioxetane (6) as a minor one. The endoperoxide, 5, decomposed to 5-oxoalkanoic acid (2) with evolution of carbon monoxide or was trapped by the solvent (MeOH or EtOH) to give methyl or ethyl 5-carboxy-2-hydroxypentanoate (3). Competition between the enol of 3-methyl-1,2-cyclohexanedione (1a) and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (TME) has shown that the enol is as reactive as TME toward singlet oxygen.     

1,1-二甲基-2-芳基环丙烷的光化学

Photochemical and thermal transformations of azomethine imines

The thermal and photochemical fragmentations of a few bisazoalkenes have been investigated. 2-Phenyl-4,5-disubstituted-1, 2,3-triazoles were obtained both in the thermolysis and photolysis of 1, 2-bisphenylazo-(4, 4′-dichloro) stilbene, 1, 2-bisphenylazo(4, 4′-dimethoxy)stilbene, 1, 2-bisphenylazocyclohexene and o-(phenylazo) phenyldiazocyanide. Both 2, 3-bisphenylazo-2-butene and 1, 2-bisphenylazoethylene failed to undergo either photolysis or thermolysis in the expected manner. However, 2, 3-bisphenylazo-2-butene underwent an acid-catalysed valence isomerisation to anhydro 1-phenylimino-2-phenyl-4, 5-dimethyl-1, 2, 3-trizolium hydroxide, which on photolysis gave 2-phenyl-4, 5-dimethyl-1, 2, 3-triazole. The same iminotriazolium intermediate gave a cycloadduct, 2, 6-diphenyl-3, 3a-dimethyl-4, 5-dicarbomethoxypyrazolino [2.3.c][1.2.3] triazole, on treatment with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, whereas treatment with carbon disulphide gave 2-phenyl-4, 5-dimethyl-1, 2, 3-triazole. Both photolysis and thermolysis of C-biphenylene-N^α(4-chlorophenyl)-N^β-cyanoazomethine imine gave 9-fluorenone-N- (4-chlorophenyl) anil. Photolysis of 1, 2-bisphenylazoacenaphthylene in methanol gave acenaphthenequinone monophenylhydrazone.     

Rate coefficients for the gas-phase reactions of bromine radicals with a series of alkenes,dienes, and aromatic hydrocarbons at 298 ± 2 K

Using the relative kinetic method rate coefficients have been determined for the gas-phase reaction of bromine (Br) radicals with a series of alkenes, chloroalkenes, dienes, and aromatic hydrocarbons in 1000 mbar of synthetic air at 298 ± 2 K. Both the UV photolysis of CH₂Br₂ (λ = 254 nm) and the visible photolysis of Br₂ (320 ≤ λ ≤ 480) were used to generate Br radicals. For the alkenes and dienes the following rate coefficients were obtained (in units of 10⁻¹² cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹): trans-2-butene 9.26 ± 1.85; 2-methyl-1-butene 15.20 ± 3.00; 2-methyl-2-butene 19.10 ± 3.80; 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene 28.20 ± 5.60; α-pinene 22.20 ± 4.40. β-pinene 28.60 ± 5.70; 1,3-butadiene 57.50 ± 11.50; isoprene 74.20 ± 14.80; and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene 81.7 ± 16.30. For the chloroalkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons the following rate coefficients were obtained (in units of 10⁻¹³ cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹): chloroethene 7.37 ± 1.92; 1,1-dichloroethene 3.66 ± 0.73; trichloroethene 0.90 ± 0.18; tetrachloroethene ≤ 0.1; benzene ≤ 0.10; toluene ≤ 0.10; p-xylene ≤ 0.10; and furan ≤ 0.10. With the exception of trans-2-butene, this study represents the first determination of the rate coefficients for all of the compounds. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Mer-[Mo(CO)₃(p-C₅H₄N-CN)₃] was prepared by UV-irradiation of a THF solution of Mo(CO)₆ and para-cyanopyridine under heating. The complex was characterized by FT-IR, MS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR and showed catalytic activity for olefin hydroformylation (1-hexene, cyclohexene and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene as model olefins; 600 psi synthesis gas (pCO/pH₂ = 1); 100 °C; 24 h; toluene). An examination of the complex catalyzed hydroformylation of a real naphtha cut (El Palito refinery, Venezuela), under the same conditions, also showed activity in the conversion to oxygenated products.     

The Radiation Polymerization of 4-Methyl-1-pentene, 2-Methyl-1-butene,and 2,3-Dimethyl-1-butene under Conditions of Extreme Dryness

The γ-ray initiated polymerization of 4-methyl-1-pentene, 2-methyl-1-butene, and 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene has been studied under conditions of extreme dryness. Only low yields of oily low molecular weight polymers were obtained. It is suggested that the low propagation rate constants are responsible for the results obtained.
