Impact of reaction products on the Grignard reaction with silanes and ketones

Grignard reactions with alkoxysilanes or carbonyl compounds produce alkoxymagnesium halides as by-products. Kinetic measurements for reactions of silanes and of a ketone were performed with Grignard reagents, enriched in alkoxymagnesium halides and taken in a great excess.The alkoxide-type reaction products complex tightly with Grignard reagents and enhance in this way their nucleophilicity, thus accelerating the reaction. However, alkoxides branched at α-C atom exert an unfavorable steric hindrance to reaction resulting in a decrease in the reaction rate.     

The reaction path intrinsic reaction coordinate method and the Hamilton-Jacobi theory

The definition and location of an intrinsic reaction coordinate path is of crucial importance in many areas of theoretical chemistry. Differential equations used to define the path hitherto are complemented in this study with a variational principle of Fermat type, as Fukui [Int. J. Quantum Chem., Quantum Chem. Symp. 15, 633 (1981)] reported in a more general form some time ago. This definition is more suitable for problems where initial and final points are given. The variational definition can naturally be recast into a Hamilton-Jacobi equation. The character of the variational solution is studied via the Weierstrass necessary and sufficient conditions. The characterization of the local minima character of the intrinsic reaction coordinate is proved. Such result leads to a numerical algorithm to find intrinsic reaction coordinate paths based on the successive minimizations of the Weierstrass E-function evaluated on a guess curve connecting the initial and final points of the desired path.     

Normal,abnormal and pseudo-abnormal reaction pathways for the imine-peroxyacid reaction

Steric and mesomeric effects have a marked influence upon the formation of oxaziridine (normal pathway) or nitrone (abnormal pathway) products from the imine-peroxyacid reaction; n.m.r. studies of the thermal isomerization of oxaziridines to nitrones provide evidence of a pseudo-abnormal oxidation pathway.

Investigation of the reaction products of triacetonamine and ethyl cyanoacetate under knoevenagel reaction conditions

Reaction of triacetonamine with ethyl cyanoacetate and ammonium acetate gives, in addition to the normal Knoevenagel reaction product (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-ethoxycarbonylcyanomethylenepiperidine), its conversion product 3-cyano-4-(,-dimethylvinyl)-6,6-dimethyl-³-dehydro-2-piperidone. Acid hydrolysis of the latter gives a dihydro--pyrone derivative. The mechanism of the formation of the new compounds is discussed, and their structures are proved by their NMR and mass spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 5, pp. 642–646, May, 1970.

Aza-Nazarov reaction and the role of superelectrophiles

The superacid-catalyzed reactions of N-acyliminium ion salts have been studied. The new conversions are remarkably similar to the Nazarov reaction and dicationic superelectrophilic species are thought to be involved. Experimental studies show that the cyclizations may be used to prepare varied heterocyclic products, while theoretical studies show that formation of the superelectrophiles can lead to very favorable reaction energetics.     

Quantum chemical reaction networks,reaction graphs and the structure of potential energy hypersurfaces

Global properties of the Born-Oppenheimer energy expectation value functional, defined over the nuclear configuration space R, are analyzed. Quantum chemical reaction graphs and reaction networks are defined in terms of intersection graphs of connected sets of nuclear geometries, representing various chemical structures. The set of all possible reaction mechanisms on the given energy hypersurface and the associated activation energy conditions are analyzed using reachability matrices defined over digraphs D ^s() and D ^s(, E).     

ESI-MS detection of proposed reaction intermediates in the air-promoted and ligand-modulated oxidative Heck reaction

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and subsequent MS/MS analyses were used to directly detect palladium-containing cationic reaction intermediates in a ligand controlled palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidative Heck arylation. All potential intermediates were observed as dmphen-ligated palladium(II) species, suggesting that the dmphen bidentate ligand is attached to the metal center during the entire catalytic cycle. The study supports previous mechanistic propositions and provides new information regarding the composition of aryl-containing Pd(II) complexes in an ongoing oxidative Heck reaction. In addition, sodium acetate was found to be a useful base alternative to previously used tertiary amines.     

Michael reaction,VI. Effect of carbonyl compounds on the stereochemistry and mechanism of the reaction

Zusammenfassung Die Stereochemie einer zweistufigen Gleichgewichts-Michael-Reaktion zwischen Dialkylamiden der Phenylessigsäure und Methylestern oder Dialkylamiden der Zimtsäure wird von den neutralen Carbonylverbindungen stark beeinflußt. Dieser Effekt kann mit der Zerstörung einer intramolekularen Chelatstruktur des Addukts und der darauffolgenden Bildung einer offenen Metallform mit einem dem neutralen Addukt ähnlichenerythro-threo-Verhältnis erklärt werden. Die Zunahme der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit des Reaktionsgemisches stützt diese Vorstellung.Es wird ein über das Chelat verlaufender Mechanismus im nichtpolaren Medium postuliert. Dieser Mechanismus ist in guter Übereinstimmung sowohl mit der geringen Stereoselektivität (bei kinetischer Kontrolle) als auch mit dem Einfluß der Lösungsmittel auf die Stereochemie.

Michael reaction, VI. Effect of carbonyl compounds on the stereochemistry and mechanism of the reaction

The equilibrium stereochemical result of the two-stepMichael reaction between phenylacetic acid dialkylamides and methyl cinnamate or cinnamic acid dialkylamides is affected by the neutral carbonyl compounds taking part in the synthesis. This effect is explained by breakdown of the intramolecular chelate structure of the reaction adduct and appearance of an open metal form with isomeric partitioning close to that of the neutral adduct. This is further supported by the increased electroconductivity of the reaction mixtures. A chelate mechanism for the reaction in nonpolar medium is postulated which is in good agreement with the low stereoselectivity under kinetic conditions as well as with the effect of the polarity of the solvent on the kinetic stereochemical result.

     

Diels-Alder reaction mechanisms of substituted chiral anthracene: A theoretical study based on the reaction force and reaction electronic flux

Quantum chemical calculations were used to study the mechanism of Diels-Alder reactions involving chiral anthracenes as dienes and a series of dienophiles. The reaction force analysis was employed to obtain a detailed scrutiny of the reaction mechanisms, it has been found that thermodynamics and kinetics of the reactions are quite consistent: the lower the activation energy, the lower the reaction energy, thus following the Bell-Evans-Polanyi principle. It has been found that activation energies are mostly due to structural rearrangements that in most cases represented more than 70% of the activation energy. Electronic activity mostly due to changes in σ and π bonding were revealed by the reaction electronic flux (REF), this property helps identify whether changes on σ or π bonding drive the reaction. Additionally, new global indexes describing the behavior of the electronic activity were introduced and then used to classify the reactions in terms of the spontaneity of their electronic activity. Local natural bond order electronic population analysis was used to check consistency with global REF through the characterization of specific changes in the electronic density that might be responsible for the activity already detected by the REF. Results show that reactions involving acetoxy lactones are driven by spontaneous electronic activity coming from bond forming/strengthening processes; in the case of maleic anhydrides and maleimides it appears that both spontaneous and non-spontaneous electronic activity are quite active in driving the reactions.

Introduction of a calibration-free reaction calorimeter that combines the benefits of DSCS and reaction calorimeters

The reaction calorimeter CAP202 (chemical process analyzer) determines thermal effects by measuring the true heat flow (THF) based on unique design principles. In particular, measurements can be performed without requiring any calibration procedures and the obtained results are most reliable and exhibit extremely stable baselines. The benefits in respect of experimental speed, data quality and long term performance are obvious. Due its broad dynamic range the instrument can be employed for measurements ranging from small physical heat to energetic chemical reactions. The CPA allows running experiments seamlessly with reaction volumes between 10 and 180 mL. This volume flexibility simplifies the investigation of multi-step operations and is the basis for various applications employing precious or highly energetic compounds. Due to the fact that calibrations are not required, altering conditions during a single experiment like changes in viscosities, liquid levels or stirring speeds do not affect the results of the measurements.
