Kinetics and mechanism of unimolecular heterolysis of cage-like compounds: XIX. Effect of the nucleofuge nature on the activation parameters of heterolysis of 1-halo-1-methylcyclohexanes in cyclohexane. Heterolysis rate ratio in aprotic and protic solvents

Heterolysis of 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane in cyclohexane (E1 reaction) involves solvation of the transition state (ΔS^≡ = ?81 J mol^?1K^?1), while heterolysis of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane is characterized by desolvation of the transition state (ΔS^≡ = 92 J mol^?1K^?1). The probability for the formation of transition state (interaction between cationoid intermediate and solvent cavity) increases in the first case due to enhanced stability of the solvated intermediate, and in the second, due to reduction in its size. The bromide/chloride heterolysis rate ratio decreases as the ionizing power of aprotic solvent decreases and that of protic solvent increases.     

Nature of solvation effects and mechanism of heterolysis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-alkyl halides

Specificities of heterolysis of tert-alkyl halides in protic and aprotic solvents were analyzed.

Correlation analysis of solvation effects was performed in terms of multiparameter equations based on the linear free energy relationship principle, as well as in the logk-E _T coordinates. The nature of solvation effects and mechanism of heterolysis of a covalent C-Hlg bond were discussed.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Monomolecular Heterolysis of Commercial Organohalogen Compounds: XXXIV. Solvent Effect on the Heterolysis Rate of 1-Chloro-1-methylcyclohexane. Correlation Analysis of Solvation Effects in Heterolysis of 1-Chloro-1-methylcyclohexane and 1-Chloro-1-methylcyclopentane

The kinetics of heterolysis of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane in 9 protic and 25 aprotic solvents at 25°C were studied by the verdazyl method. The kinetic equation is v = k[RCl] (E1 mechanism). The heterolysis rate of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane in protic solvents is two orders of magnitude lower than that of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopentane, whereas in low-polarity and nonpolar aprotic solvents the rates are close. A correlation analysis was made to reveal the solvation effects in heterolysis of both chlorides in a set of 9 protic and 25 aprotic solvents, and separately in protic and aprotic solvents.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Monomolecular Heterolysis of Commercial Organohalogen Compounds: XXXIII.1 Correlation Analysis of Solvation Effects in Monomolecular Heterolysis of 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclopentane, 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane, and 2-Bromo-2-methyladamantane

The rate of heterolysis of 1-bromo-1-methylcyclopentane and 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane is determined by the equation v = k[RBr], mechanism E1. Comparative correlation analysis of solvation effects in heterolysis of these substrates and 2-brom-2-methyladamantane was performed.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Unimolecular Heterolysis of Framework Compounds: XVII. Solvation Effects in Dehydrobromination of <Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-Butyl Bromide, 1-Bromo-1-Methylcyclohexane,and 2-Bromo-2-methyladamantane in Dipolar Aprotic Solvents

Dehydrobromination rate of tert-butyl bromide, 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane, and 2-bromo-2-methyladamantane grows with increasing polarity and dipole moment of solvents. No correlation was found between rate constants of the process and electrophilicity or ionizing power of the solvents. The observed solvation effects are due mainly to dispersion interactions.     

Solvation and Conformational Effects in Heterolysis of 1-Methylcycloalkyl Halides

In the series of substrates 1-bromo-1-methylcyclopentane, 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane, 1-methyl-1-chlorocyclopentane, 1-methyl-1-chlorocyclohexane, the heterolysis rate in acetone at 25 °C is reduced by four orders of magnitude; v = k[RX], E1 mechanism. The decrease in reaction rate as we go from a cyclopentyl compound to a cyclohexyl compound is due to the decrease in entropy of activation as a result of rapid solvation of the transition state as the conformational barrier is overcome.

The reaction rate shows a satisfactory correlation with the parameter of the solvent ionizing power E _T and is independent of the solvent nucleophilicity.     

An easy preparation of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl propenyl sulfones

Sodium tridecafluorohexanesulfinate (1a) and sodium 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethanesulfinate (1b) were prepared by the treatment of 1-iodo-tridecafluorohexane and 1-bromo-1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane with sodium dithionite in a water-acetonitrile solution. Prolonged reaction of 1a with allyl bromide in DMF afforded tridecafluorohexane 1-propenyl sulfone 2 as the only product in good yield. A similar treatment of 1b gave exclusively 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane 3-propenyl sulfone 4. Bromination of 4 followed by dehydrobromination with Et₃N resulted in a mixture of 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane 3-bromo-1-propenyl sulfone 6 and 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane 2-bromo-3-propenyl sulfone 7, while dehydrobromination with pyridine gave sulfone 6 practically as the only product. α,β-Unsaturated sulfones 2 and 6 were shown to be active dienophiles.     

1-Phenyl-1-halo-1-silacyclohexanes

The approaches to synthesis of 1-phenyl-1-halo-1-silacyclohexanes C₅H₁₀Si(Ph)X (X = F, Cl, Br) have been examined. 1-Phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane has been prepared via the known reaction of phenyltrichlorosilane with dimagnesium derivative of 1,5-dibromopentane; up to 20% of 1-bromo-1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane admixture is formed along with the target product. The minor product formation has been prevented using an alternative method of chlorination of 1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane with N-chlorosuccinimide. 1-Phenyl-1-fluoro-1-silacyclohexane has been obtained in close to quantitative yield via the reaction of 1-phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane with SbF₃ and in 70% yield via its reaction with HF. The synthesis of 1-phenyl-1-bromo-1-silacyclohexane via bromination of 1-phenyl-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane with N-bromosuccinimide has given the target product as a minor one, the major product being disiloxane formed due to hydrolysis of the Si–Br bond.

Synthesis of 1-(4-bromo-1-naphthyl)-dihydrouracil and some of its transformations

1-(4-Bromo-1-naphthyl)dihydrouracil, which is also obtained from 1-(4-bromo-1-naphthyl)--alanine, is formed by the bromination of 1-(1-naphthyl)dihydrouracil. Hydrogenation of 1-(4-bromo-1-naphthyl)dihydrouracil with lithium aluminum hydride yields either 1-(1-naphthyl)-2-oxohexahydropyrimidine or 1-(4-bromo-1-naphthyl)-2-oxohexahydropyrimidine, depending on the solvent used. 1-(4-Bromo-1-naphthyl)-2-oxohexahydropyrimidine is formed by the bromination of 1-(1-naphthyl)-2-oxohexahydropyrimidine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 524–526, April, 1971.     

Sodium dithionite initiated addition of 1-bromo-1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane to allylaromatics: Facile synthesis of conjugated dienes substituted with terminal CF3 group

Sodium dithionite effectively promotes the addition of 1-bromo-1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane to the terminal double bond of allylbenzenes 1. The reactions proceeded in MeCN/H₂O to give a 3:1 mole ratio of diastereoisomers of 1-(2-bromo-4-chloro-5,5,5-trifluoropentyl)benzenes 2 as the main products together with small amounts of its reductive debromination products 3. Total yields of 2 and 3 were dependent on the nature of the aromatic ring substituents in 1. Treatment of adducts 2 with DBU in refluxing hexanes resulted in double dehydrohalogenation affording, in good yields, conjugated dienes 4 (1,1,1-trifluoro-5-phenyl-2,4-pentadienes) terminated with the CF₃ group at the one end and the phenyl group at the opposite end. These dienes were found to be sufficiently reactive to undergo Diels-Alder condensation with active dienophiles to give trifluoromethylated carbocycles. The reactions of CF₃CHClBr with allylheterocycles were less successful and lead to low yields of mixtures of hardly separable compounds or to polymeric resins.     

Pulse Radiolytic Studies of 1-Halo-2-(methylthio)ethanes in Hexane and 1,2-Dichloroethane: Formation of an Intermolecular Species with a Three-Electron Bond between Sulfur and Iodine

1-Iodo-2-(methylthio)ethane was synthesized via a ring-opening reaction of thiirane with MeI in MeCN. The S-centered radical cation of this compound undergoes an intermolecular stabilization with the I substituent of a second unattacked substrate molecule to yield an bonded radical cation. The oxidation was initiated by solvent radical cations in irradiated 1,2-dicloroethane and hexane solutions. The 2ρ/ρ* three-electron-bonded species exhibits an optical absorption band at 410 nm, detectable by pulse radiolysis. During its decay, a new, longer-lived absorption band is formed at 380 nm which is assigned to . The latter is suggested to result from anchimeric assistance in the generation of a cyclic sulfonium salt. The radical cations of 1-bromo-and 1-chloro-2-(methylthio)ethane are assumed to undergo raped cyclization to the sulfonium salt without stabilization in any intermolecular S-Br or S-Cl interaction.

The kinetics of heterolysis of t-BuCl in sulfolane, PhCN, PhNO₂, acetophenone, cyclohexanone, chloroform, and 1,2-dichloroethane at 30-50°C were studied by the verdazyl method. Quantitative analysis of the effect of solvent parameters on the G , H , S , and log k _{2 5} values for heterolysis of t-BuCl in a set of 15 protic and 16 aprotic solvents and separately in either group of solvents was performed. In the above set of solvents, three H -S compensation effects are observed, associated with jump changes in the potential energy of the reaction.
