Nucleophilic Solvent Participation in the Solvolysis of Tertiary Bromoalkanes

The solvolysis of 2‐bromo‐2‐methylpropane ( 1B ), 2‐bromo‐2‐methylbutane ( 2B ), 2‐bromo‐2, 3‐di‐methylbutane ( 3B ), 2‐bromo‐2, 3, 3‐trimethylbutane ( 4B ), 3‐bromo‐3‐methylpentane ( 5B ), 3‐bromo‐2, 3‐dimethylpentane ( 6B ), 3‐bromo‐2, 2, 3‐trimethylpentane ( 7B ), 3‐bromo‐3‐ethylpentane ( 8B ), 3‐bromo‐3‐ethyl‐2‐methylpentane ( 9B ) and 2‐bromo‐2, 4, 4‐trimethylpentane ( 11B ) in 15 to 21 solvents was studied, and correlation analyses by using the single‐ and dual‐parameter Grunwald‐Winstein equations (Eqns 1 and 2) were examined. Substrates 7B, 9B and 11B showed excellent linear relationship (R ≥ 0.997) in the logk ‐ Y_Br plots and indicated limiting S_N1 mechanism for the solvolysis. On the other hand, bromides 1B‐6B and 8B gave linear correlations (R = 0.987–0.996) with the dual‐parameter (Y_Br and N_OTs) equation (2) only, which indicated the presence of significant nucleophilic solvent participation. Normal trends of reactivity due to the relief of B‐strain could be found in the poorly nucleophilic trifluoroethanol. Similar to the corresponding chlorides, the overwhelming influence of nucleophilic solvent assistance results in the observed inverse order of reactivity: k( 2B ) > k( 3B ), k( 5B ) > k( 6B ) and k( 8B ) > k( 9B ).     

Cyclic Voltammetric Studies of Ferrocene in Nonaqueous Solvents in the Temperature Range from 248.15 to 298.15 K

In the present work the oxidation of ferrocene, Fe(C₅H₅)₂, to the ferrocenium cation, Fe(C₂H₅)₂ ⁺, was examined in the solvents acetonitrile (ACN), acetone (ACE), N-methylformamide (NMF), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetanide (DMA), 3-pentanone (PEN), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dichloromethane (DCM) over the temperature range from 248.15 to 298.15 K using the technique of cyclic voltammetry. The anodic (E _pa) and the cathodic (E _pc) peak potentials, as well as the corresponding anodic (i _pa) and cathodic (i _pc) peak currents, were obtained at different scan rates (0.02, 0.05, 0.08 and 0.10 V ·s^–1). The half-wave potentials (E _1/2) of the Fe(C₂H₅)₂ ⁺/Fe(C₅H₅)₂ couple in the investigated solvent media have been evaluated. The diffusion coefficients (D) have been calculated using the Randles-Sevcik equation. The effects of changing the scan rate, the temperature and properties of the solvent medium such as viscosity and donor number on the electrochemical behavior of ferrocene have been examined.

Copper-Catalysed Rearrangement of Cyclic Ethynylethylene Carbonates: Synthetic Applications and Mechanistic Studies

Transition-metal-catalysed reactions of cyclic ethynylethylene carbonates have been intensively studied because of their robustness in new bond formation and diversified molecule construction. Known reaction modes usually involve a substitution step occurring at either the propargylic or terminal alkyne positions. Here, we report an unprecedented reaction pattern in which cyclic ethynylethylene carbonates first undergo a rearrangement to release allenal intermediates, which subsequently react with diverse nucleophiles to furnish synthetically useful allylic and propargylic allenols, phosphorus ylides, and cyclopropylidene ketones through an addition process rather than a substitution pathway. The products enable various further transformations, and mechanistic studies and theoretical calculations reveal that the reaction does not proceed via a semipinacol type [1,2]-hydride shift, but through base-mediated deprotonation as the key step to induce the rearrangement.     

An Extended Method for the Practical Evaluation of the Standard Rate Constant from Cyclic Voltammetric Data

The Nicholson's treatment for the evaluation of the heterogeneous standard rate constant k⁰ of electron transfer from cyclic voltammetric (CV) data is combined with the Klingler and Kochi method suitable to totally irreversible systems in order to use very large ΔE_p x n values, where n is the number of electrons involved in a simple electron‐transfer process O+n e^??R. An empirical relationship between the dimensionless parameter Ψ=k⁰ [πDnvF/(RT)]^?1/2 and ΔE_p x n which practically replaces the Nicholson's working curve up to about 200 mV is reported.

Cyclic Voltammetry and Structural Studies of Nitric Oxide Monolayers Adsorbed on Pt(111)

The structural analysis of the adsorption of NO monolayers on Pt(111) from solution has been explored by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The monolayers were formed from acid solutions saturated with NO gas as well and from nitrite solutions in sulfuric acid. Results by both techniques indicate a maximum coverage of 0.2 monolayers as well as the presence of NO molecularly adsorbed on the surface with different orientations. The voltammetric oxidation of NO gives rise to two peaks separated in the voltammogram by 50 mV. This value is in agreement with the theoretical value of 9 kJ corresponding to the difference between different adsorption sites. A mechanism for the surface mediated oxidation process from adsorbed NO to NO₂ under potential control is proposed.     

Relative Rate Studies of the Reactions of Atomic Chlorine with Acetone and Cyclic Ketones

Rate coefficients have been measured for Cl atom reactions under ambient conditions with acetone and four cyclic ketones. Cl was generated by UV photolysis of Cl₂, and other species were monitored by FT‐IR spectroscopy. The measurements yield k(Cl + acetone) = (2.0 ± 0.7) × 10⁻¹², k(Cl + cyclobutanone) = (10.1 ± 0.8) × 10⁻¹¹, k(Cl + cycloheptanone) = (24.0 ± 2.3) × 10⁻¹¹, k(Cl + 2‐methyl cyclopentanone) = (15.2 ± 1.2) × 10⁻¹¹, and k(Cl + 2‐methyl cyclohexanone) = (11.2 ± 1.0) × 10⁻¹¹ cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹, where the uncertainties represent 95% confidence limits. These results are discussed in the context of structure‐activity relationships. We also present a prediction for Cl + cyclopropanone based on ab initio properties of the transition state.     

New Aspects in the Chemistry of Some Cyclic Esters of Alkylphosphonates

Abstract

Several new methods for the synthesis of 2-alkyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxa-phosphorinane (1) and -phosphepane (2) were conducted based on Arbuzov rearrangement, alcoholysis of RP(o)Cl₂ with glycol using dilution method or alkylation of cyclic phosphite under PTC condition. The solvent effect on the ³¹P NMR chemical shift and the characteristic behaviours of the ¹³C NMR spectra of 1 was investigated. It was found that compd 1 with R=CH₃ existed in an equilibrium of e and a forms. The mass spectra of 1 and 2 showed that the ring opening was in competition with the cleavage of P-C bond. According to the fragmentation pathway, 1 can be classified in two categories involving ring opening and cleavage of C-C or P-C bond. For compd 2 the ring opening was a dominant process. Alkaline hydrolysis of 1 and 2 was studied in aqueous dioxane. The hydrolytic process is classified as an AE reaction. Quantitative structure-reactivity relationship was established by multiple regressionanalysis involving the rate constant and the structural parameters of the exocyclic substituents on phosphorus. The difference between the hydrolytic performance of cyclic alkylphosphonates and carboxylates was discussed in terms of various structural changes between ground state and transition state during the hydrolysis.     

循环伏安和现场FTIR反射光谱研究甲醛在金电极上的氧化

The electro-oxidation of formaldehyde on a gold electrode in a gold electrode in a solution containing 0.1mol •L -1 Na2CO3＋0. 1mol•L - 1NaHCO3＋0. 1 mol•L - 1 HCHO was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and in -situ FTIR spetroscopy . The experimental results demonstrated that the oxidation of formaldehyde at different potential range connected with different surface species of gold. At lower potentials, the main product of formaldehyde oxidation was HCOO-, and at higher potentials, the products HCOO- and CO2 were detected simultaneously. From the results, a possible reaction mechanism was proposed.     

Progress in Polymerization of Cyclic Esters: Mechanisms and Synthetic Applications

Recent advances in the controlled ring-opening polymerization of aliphatic cyclic esters are briefly reviewed. Particular attention is paid to the high molecular weight linear, branched, and star-shaped poly(lactide)s and poly(ε-caprolactone) synthesis. It is concluded that despite the plethora of initiating and/or catalytic systems applied for this purpose the best results so far were achieved with Al- and Sn(II) derivatives. Analytical methods employed for aliphatic polyesters of various architectures characterization, including SEC-MALLS, LC-CC, and fluorescence spectroscopy, are also discussed.     

Comparison Between a Charge Transfer Process and an Electrocatalytic Process in Cyclic Voltammetry and Cyclic Voltcoulommetry. Application to the Oxidation of Ferrocyanide at a Ferrocene‐Monolayer Modified Gold Electrode

Ferrocyanide oxidation catalyzed by a ferrocene‐alkylthiolate monolayer at gold electrodes has been investigated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and cyclic voltcoulommetry (CVC). The voltammetric current‐potential curves obtained present a stationary sigmoidal feature which points out to a very high rate constant for the chemical step, whereas the charge‐potential curves do not reach an stationary behavior in any case. Simple expressions are presented for the characterization of the CV and CVC curves under Nernstian conditions for the charge transfer step. From these expressions, a value for the chemical rate constant 2.5×10⁴ M^?1 s^?1 has been easily obtained from an anodic plateau of the CV curves or from the linear anodic region of the CVC curves.     

Carbon‐Supported Pt Particles as a Catalyst for Electrooxidation of Methanol and Cyclic Voltammetry Studies Under Acidic Conditions

Electrooxidation of methanol on glassy carbon (GC) electrode modified by optimum carbon supported Pt electrocatalyst (Pt‐C/GC) in acid media is investigated. The catalyst is prepared by ultrasonicating Pt/C powders in aqueous media. The activity of prepared Pt‐C/GC electrode is studied in potential range of 0–1000 mV (versus SCE) by cyclic voltammetry. The results showed that the Pt/C dispersed layer at the surface of glassy carbon electrode, behaves as an electrocatalyst for the oxidation of methanol in acid medium by optimum loading of Pt (0.2 mg cm^?2). The electrochemical properties of prepared electrode are studied under various conditions. However the effect of various parameters in the catalytic enhancement of Pt/C, such as platinum loading, sulfuric acid concentration, different scan rates, different final potentials, and medium temperature are considered and examined.
