Nonlinear chemical reaction between Na_2S_2O_3 and Peroxide compound

Kinetics of reaction between Na2S2O3 and peroxide compound ( H2O2 or Na2S2O8) in a batch reactor and in a continuous stirring tank reactor (CSTR) were studied.Steady oscillations in uncatalyzed reactions in a CSTR were first discovered.In Na2S2O3-H2O2-H2SO4 reaction system,Pt potential and pH of higher and lower flow rutes beyond oscillation flow rates were in around the same extreme values.The reaction catalyeed by Cu2+ corsist of the catalyzed oscillation process and the uncatalyzed osciliation one.On the basis of experiment,a reaction mechanism consisting of three stages was put forward.The three stages are H positive-feedback reactions,proton negative-feedba k (uncatalyzed negative-feedback and catalyzed negative-feedback) reactions and transitional reactions.The mechanism is able to explain reasonably the nonlinear chemical phenomena appearing in the thiosulfatc oxidation reaction by peroxide-compounds.

Cyclization of electron-deficient cyclopentadienone with 2-alkenyl and 2-alkynylamines via sequential pericyclic reaction pathway.

The pericyclic reactions of 2,5-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-3,4-diphenylcyclopentadienone (1a) with both allylic and propargylic amines have been investigated. The reaction proceeded via initial formation of the 1,4 adducts followed by the ene cyclization and/or sequential pericyclic reactions depending upon the structures of the amines. The reaction of 1a with diallylamine (2a) gave the tetracyclic compound (3a). On the other hand, the reaction of 1a with 2-propynylamine (2c) gave exclusively the bicyclic compound (5c). In the reactions with the secondary 2-propynylamines (2d,e), the tetracyclic compounds (3d,e) were exclusively formed. The reactions of 1a with alpha-branched primary 1,1-dialkyl-2-propynylamines (2f,g) gave mixtures of 3- and 5-type compounds. The tetracyclic compounds 3 were formed from the intramolecular [4+2]pi cycloadditions of the [1,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement products of the 1,4 adducts of 1a and 2, followed by the [1,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement of hydrogen and dehydrogenation. The bicyclic compounds 5 were derived from the [2pi+2pi+2sigma] reaction of the 1,4 adducts of 1a and 2. The one-pot multistage sequential pericyclic reactions were discussed on the basis of the X-ray crystallographic structures and the MO calculation data.     

A systematic computational study on the reactions of HO2 with RO2: The HO2 + CH3O2(CD3O2) and HO2 + CH2FO2 reactions

A systematic theoretical study of the reactions of HO2 with RO2 has been carried out. The major concern of the present work is to gain insight into the reaction mechanism and then to explain experimental observations and to predict new product channels for this class of reactions of importance in the atmosphere. In this paper, the reaction mechanisms for two reactions, namely, HO2 + CH3O2 and HO2 + CH2FO2, are reported. Both singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces are investigated. The complexity of the present system makes it impossible to use a single ab initio method to map out all the reaction paths. Various ab initio methods including MP2, CISD, QCISD(T), CCSD(T), CASSCF, and density function theory (B3LYP) have been employed with the basis sets ranging from 6-31G(d) to an extrapolated complete basis set (CBS) limit. It has been established that the CCSD(T)/cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) scheme represents the most feasible method for our systematic study. For the HO2 + CH3O2 reaction, the production of CH3OOH is determined to be the dominant channel. For the HO2 + CH2FO2 reaction, both CH2FOOH and CHFO are major products, whereas the formation of CHFO is dominant in the overall reaction. The computational findings give a fair explanation for the experimental observation of the products.     

Water-catalyzed gas-phase hydrogen abstraction reactions of CH3O2 and HO2 with HO2: a computational investigation

The gas-phase hydrogen abstraction reactions of CH(3)O(2) and HO(2) with HO(2) in the presence and absence of a single water molecule have been studied at the CCSD(T)/6-311++G(3d,2p)//B3LYP/6-311G(2d,2p) level of theory. The calculated results show that the process for O(3) formation is much faster than that for (1)O(2) and (3)O(2) formation in the water-catalyzed CH(3)O(2) + HO(2) reaction. This is different from the results for the non-catalytic reaction of CH(3)O(2) + HO(2), in which almost only the process for (3)O(2) formation takes place. Unlike CH(3)O(2) + HO(2) reaction in which the preferred process is different in the catalytic and non-catalytic conditions, the channel for (3)O(2) formation is the dominant in both catalytic and non-catalytic HO(2) + HO(2) reactions. Furthermore, the calculated total CVT/SCT rate constants for water-catalyzed and non-catalytic title reactions show that the water molecule doesn't contribute to the rate of CH(3)O(2) + HO(2) reaction though the channel for O(3) formation in this water-catalyzed reaction is more kinetically favorable than its non-catalytic process. Meanwhile, the water molecule plays an important positive role in increasing the rate of HO(2) + HO(2) reaction. These results are in good agreement with available experiments.     

Nonlinear chemical reaction between Na2S2O3 and Peroxide compound

Kinetics of reaction between Na₂S₂0₃ and peroxide compound (H₂0₂ or Na₂S₂O₃) in a batch reactor and in a continuous stirring tank reactor (CSTR) were studied. Steady oscillations in uncatalyzed reactions in a CSTR were first discovered. In Na₂S₂0₃-H₂O₂-H₂S0₄ reaction system, Pt potential and pH of higher and lower flow rates beyond oscillation flow rates were in around the same extreme values. The reaction catalyzed by Cu²⁺ consists of the catalyzed oscillation process and the uncatalyzed osciliation one. On the basis of experiment, a reaction mechanism consisting of three stages was put forward. The three stages are H⁺ positive-feedback reactions, proton negative-feedback (uncatalyzed negative-feedback and catalyzed negative-feedback) reactions and transitional reactions. The mechanism is able to explain reasonably the nonlinear chemical phenomena appearing in the thiosulfate oxidation reaction by peroxide compounds.

Theoretical studies on cycloaddition reactions between 2-azoniaallene cations and olefins

The mechanisms of cycloaddition reactions between 2-azoniaallene cations and olefins have been explored at the B3LYP/6-31G level. It is found that the positive charge in 2-azoniaallene makes the reaction more complicated. For the reactions between olefins with Cl groups or CH(3) groups and 2-azoniaallene, the typical carboniums have been located along the reaction path. In addition, for the reactions between 1,1-dimethylethene and 1,3-dichrolo-2-azoniaallene, different paths and products have been rationalized and verified.     

Theoretical study of the reactions CF3CH2OCHF2 + OH/Cl and its product radicals and parent ether(CH3CH2OCH3) with OH

A dual-level direct dynamic method is employed to study the reaction mechanisms of CF3CH2OCHF2 (HFE-245fa2; HFE-245mf) with the OH radicals and Cl atoms. Two hydrogen abstraction channels and two displacement processes are found for each reaction. For further study, the reaction mechanisms of its products (CF3CH2OCF2 and CF3CHOCHF2) and parent ether CH3CH2OCH3 with OH radical are investigated theoretically. The geometries and frequencies of all the stationary points and the minimum energy paths (MEPs) are calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level. The energetic information along the MEPs is further refined at the G3(MP2) level of theory. For reactions CF3CH2OCHF2 + OH/Cl, the calculation indicates that the hydrogen abstraction from --CH2-- group is the dominant reaction channel, and the displacement processes may be negligible because of the high barriers. The standard enthalpies of formation for the reactant CF3CH2OCHF2, and two products CF3CH2OCHF2 and CF3CHOCHF2 are evaluated via group-balanced isodesmic reactions. The rate constants of reactions CF3CH2OCHF2 + OH/Cl and CH3CH2OCH3 + OH are estimated by using the variational transition state theory over a wide range of temperature (200-2000 K). The agreement between the theoretical and experimental rate constants is good in the measured temperature range. From the comparison between the rate constants of the reactions CF3CH2OCHF2 and CH3CH2OCH3 with OH, it is shown that the fluorine substitution decreases the reactivity of the C--H bond.

Effect of H_2S on the transformation of 1-hexene over NiMoS/γ-Al_2O_3 with hydrogen

The effect of H2S contents on the transformation of 1-hexene with hydrogen over NiMoS/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was investigated.Inhibition of H2S on both hydrogenation and isomerization reactions of olefin has been demonstrated.And the promotion effect of H2S on the formation of C6 thiols and C12 thioethers has also been observed.It was found out that there was only one type of active site on the NiMoS/γ-Al2O3 for reactions which include hydrogenation reaction,isomerization reaction and sulfides formation reaction,...     

Unique regio- and stereoselectivity in Pd-catalyzed chlorocarbonylation reaction of 2-phenylethynyl selenides and 2-alkylethynyl selenides. Highly stereoselective synthesis of 2-seleno-3-chloroacrylates

Regio- and stereoselectivity in the chloropalladation carbonylation reaction of different acetylenic selenides in the presence of 0.05 equiv of PdCl2 and 3 equiv of cupric chloride under 1 atm of carbon monoxide affording 2-seleno-3-chloroacrylates were investigated. Opposite stereoselectivities were observed with 2-phenylethynyl selenides and 2-alkylethynyl selenides: the reactions of 2-phenylethynyl selenides afforded (E)-2-seleno-3-chloro-3-phenylacrylates, while the reactions of 2-alkylethynyl selenides gave (Z)-2-seleno-3-chloro-3-alkylacrylates. A chloropalladation carbonylation mechanism for this reaction was proposed. The regio- and stereoselective chloropalladation of the carbon-carbon triple bond in acetylenic selenides affords 1-enylpalladium intermediates, in which the palladium atom connects with the carbon atom bonding with the selenium atom. Carbonylation in the presence of an alcohol affords 2-seleno-3-chloroacrylates.     

Synthesis of (2-chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methanones and 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-phenylethanones by Friedel-Crafts acylation of 2-chlorobenzoic acids and 2-(2-chlorophenyl)acetic acids using microwave heating

Several 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-phenylethanones and (2-chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methanones were prepared by the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction of 2-(2-chlorophenyl) acetic acids and 2-chlorocarboxylic acids, respectively, in the presence of cyanuric chloride, pyridine, and AlCl₃ or FeCl₃ using microwave heating. The yields of the ketones were significantly higher than those obtained using conventional heating. In addition, similar reactions carried out with the less inexpensive and less toxic FeCl₃ gave titled ketones in comparable yields. Interestingly, the FeCl₃ catalyzed reactions gave pure ketones (no chromatographic purification required), whereas the AlCl₃ catalyzed reaction gave impure product that required chromatographic purification.     

Secondary kinetics of methanol decomposition: theoretical rate coefficients for 3CH2 + OH, 3CH2 + 3CH2, and 3CH2 + CH3

Direct variable reaction coordinate transition state theory (VRC-TST) rate coefficients are reported for the (3)CH(2) + OH, (3)CH(2) + (3)CH(2), and (3)CH(2) + CH(3) barrierless association reactions. The predicted rate coefficient for the (3)CH(2) + OH reaction (approximately 1.2 x 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) for 300-2500 K) is 4-5 times larger than previous estimates, indicating that this reaction may be an important sink for OH in many combustion systems. The predicted rate coefficients for the (3)CH(2) + CH(3) and (3)CH(2) + (3)CH(2) reactions are found to be in good agreement with the range of available experimental measurements. Product branching in the self-reaction of methylene is discussed, and the C(2)H(2) + 2H and C(2)H(2) + H2 products are predicted in a ratio of 4:1. The effect of the present set of rate coefficients on modeling the secondary kinetics of methanol decomposition is briefly considered. Finally, the present set of rate coefficients, along with previous VRC-TST determinations of the rate coefficients for the self-reactions of CH(3) and OH and for the CH(3) + OH reaction, are used to test the geometric mean rule for the CH(3), (3)CH(2), and OH fragments. The geometric mean rule is found to predict the cross-combination rate coefficients for the (3)CH(2) + OH and (3)CH(2) + CH(3) reactions to better than 20%, with a larger (up to 50%) error for the CH(3) + OH reaction.     

Combined DFT, QCISD(T), and G2 mechanism investigation for the reactions of carbon monophosphide CP with unsaturated hydrocarbons allene CH2CCH2 and methylacetylene CH3CCH

The possible reaction product distribution and mechanism of carbon monophosphide CP with unsaturated hydrocarbons allene CH(2)CCH(2) and methylacetylene CH(3)CCH are investigated at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p), QCISD(T)/6-311++G(2df,2p), and G2 levels of theory. Corresponding reactants, products, intermediates, and interconversion and dissociation transition states are located on the reaction potential energy profiles. Computation results show that in the reaction of CP with CH(2)CCH(2) the dominant reaction product should be species CH(2)CCHCP. Also, we can suggest species HCCCH(2)CP as a secondary reaction product despite of only minor contribution to reaction products. In the reaction of CP with CH(3)CCH, the primary and secondary products are suggested to be two important molecules HCCCP and CH(3)CCCP, respectively. The predicted mechanisms for the two reactions are not in parallel with the reactions of CN with allene CH(2)CCH(2) and methylacetylene CH(3)CCH given in previous studies. The present calculations provide some useful information for future possible experimental isolation and observation for some interesting unsaturated carbon-phosphorus-bearing species.     

Reaction of silanes in supercritical CO2 with TiO2 and Al2O3

Infrared spectroscopy was used to investigate the reaction of silanes with TiO2 and Al2O3 using supercritical CO2 (Sc-CO2) as a solvent. It was found that contact of Sc-CO2 with TiO2 leads to partial removal of the water layer and to the formation of carbonate, bicarbonate, and carboxylate species on the surface. Although these carbonate species are weakly bound to the TiO2 surface and can be removed by a N2 purge, they poison the surface, resulting in a lower level of reaction of silanes with TiO2. Specifically, the amount of hexamethyldisilazane adsorbed on TiO2 is about 10% of the value obtained when the reaction is performed from the gas phase. This is not unique to TiO2, as the formation of carbonate species also occurs upon contact of Al2O3 with Sc-CO2 and this leads to a lower level of reaction with hexamethyldisilazane. This is in contrast to reactions of silanes on SiO2 where Sc-CO2 has several advantages over conventional gaseous or nonaqueous methods. As a result, caution needs to be applied when using Sc-CO2 as a solvent for silanization reactions on oxides other than SiO2.     

Diastereoselective synthesis of five- and seven-membered rings by [2+2+1], [3+2], [3+2+2], and [4+3] carbocyclization reactions of beta-substituted (alkenyl)(methoxy)carbene complexes with methyl ketone lithium enolates

beta-Substituted alkenylcarbene complexes react with methyl ketone lithium enolates to give different carbocyclization products depending on the structure of the lithium enolate, on the metal of the carbene complex, and on the reaction media. Thus, the reactions of aryl and alkyl methyl ketone lithium enolates with beta-substituted alkenyl chromium and tungsten carbene complexes in diethyl ether afford 1,3-cyclopentanediol derivatives derived from a formal [2+2+1] carbocyclization reaction. However, the lithium enolates of acetone and tungsten complexes furnish formal [3+2+2] carbocyclization products. In the case of alkynyl methyl ketone lithium enolates, competitive formal [2+2+1] and [3+2] carbocyclization reactions occur and 1,3-cyclopentanediol and 3-cyclopentenol derivatives are formed. Conversely, alkenyl methyl ketone lithium enolates react with alkenylcarbene complexes under the same reaction conditions to form 2-cycloheptenone derivatives by a formal [4+3] carbocyclization reaction. Finally, when the reaction was performed in the presence of a coordinating medium, the [3+2] carbocyclization pattern was observed independently of the nature of the methyl ketone lithium enolate used.     

A systematic computational study of the reactions of HO2 with RO2: the HO2 + CH2ClO2, CHCl2O2, and CCl3O2 reactions

Potential energy surfaces for the reactions of HO(2) with CH(2)ClO(2), CHCl(2)O(2), and CCl(3)O(2) have been calculated using coupled cluster theory and density functional theory (B3LYP). It is revealed that all the reactions take place on both singlet and triplet surfaces. Potential wells exist in the entrance channels for both surfaces. The reaction mechanism on the triplet surface is simple, including hydrogen abstraction and S(N)2-type displacement. The reaction mechanism on the singlet surface is more complicated. Interestingly, the corresponding transition states prefer to be 4-, 5-, or 7-member-ring structures. For the HO(2) + CH(2)ClO(2) reaction, there are two major product channels, viz., the formation of CH(2)ClOOH + O(2) via hydrogen abstraction on the triplet surface and the formation of CHClO + OH + HO(2) via a 5-member-ring transition state. Meanwhile, two O(3)-forming channels, namely, CH(2)O + HCl + O(3) and CH(2)ClOH + O(3) might be competitive at elevated temperatures. The HO(2) + CHCl(2)O(2) reaction has a mechanism similar to that of the HO(2) + CH(2)ClO(2) reaction. For the HO(2) + CCl(3)O(2) reaction, the formation of CCl(3)O(2)H + O(2) is the dominant channel. The Cl-substitution effect on the geometries, barriers, and heats of reaction is discussed. In addition, the unimolecular decomposition of the excited ROOH (e.g., CH(2)ClOOH, CHCl(2)OOH, and CCl(3)OOH) molecules has been investigated. The implication of the present mechanisms in atmospheric chemistry is discussed in comparison with the experimental measurements.     

Theoretical and Experimental Studies on the Reaction Mechanism of Cl2 ＋ I2- 2ICl

1 INTRODUCTION The reactions between halogen and halogen are basic reactions in chemistry. Especially, in the syn- thesis of iodo-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon, the reaction Cl2 I2 = 2ICl could heighten the usage of iodine atom to 100%. So far, to the best of our know- ledge, the studies about halogen-halogen reaction mechanisms are very few. In detail, only the struc- ture and stability studies of X2Y- (X, Y = Cl, Br and I) ions by calculating reaction potential energy sur- face…     

Hydrogen atom transfer reactions of C2-, C4-, and C6-: bond dissociation energies of linear H-C2n- and H-C2n (n = 1, 2, 3)

The reactions of C2-, C4-, and C6- with D2O and ND3 and of C4- with CH3OH, CH4, and C2H6 have been investigated using guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry. Hydrogen (or deuterium) atom transfer is the major product channel for each of the reactions. The reaction threshold energies for collisional activation are reported. Several of the reactions exhibit threshold energies in excess of the reaction endothermicity. Potential energy calculations using density functional theory show energy barriers for some of the reactions. Dynamic restrictions related to multiple wells along the reaction path may also contribute to elevated threshold energies. The results indicate that the reactions with D2O have the smallest excess threshold energies, which may therefore be used to derive lower limits on the C-H bond dissociation energies of the C2nH- and C2nH (n = 1-3) linear species. The experimental lower limits for the bond dissociation energies of the neutral radicals to linear products are D0(C2-H) >or= 460 +/- 15 kJ/mol, D0(C4-H) >or= 427 +/- 12 kJ/mol, and D0(C6-H) >or= 405 +/- 11 kJ/mol.     

Activation and Reaction Volumes for [4+2] and [3+2] Additions Involving Maleic Anhydride

The partial molar volumes of reactants and products of the [3+2] addition of C-(p-nitrophenyl)-N-phenylnitrone to maleic anhydride and of the [4+2] addition of 9,10-dimethylanthracene to the same dienophile were determined, and the reaction volumes were calculated. A new method was suggested for determining the reaction volume. The activation volumes of both reactions were calculated from the dependences of the reaction rates on the external pressure. The volume parameters of the reactions involving the reagents of close size are close. The ratios of the activation volumes to the reaction volumes are unity, which suggests a common concerted mechanism of the reactions. Factors that could be responsible for significant changes in the absolute values of the reaction volume parameters are discussed.
