Abstract: | Dehydration of zinc biladienone was catalyzed by zinc acetate, while the reverse reaction was catalyzed by triethylamine. The transformation can be performed thermally without catalyst, and the ratio of the hydrated form to the dehydrated form depended on the solvents: the dehydrated form is favored in CHCl3 and CH2Cl2, while the hydrated form is favored in hexane, pyridine, and DMF. Kinetic studies on the thermal transformation of zinc biladienone from its hydrated blue form to the dehydrated yellow-brown form were performed in toluene and THF. The rate law was half order with respect to the zinc biladienone concentration in toluene, while first order in THF, leading to a slow transformation in concentrated solution in toluene. |
