对化学反应数据分类获取反应知识的新方法

尽管已有大量化学反应数据可供使用,但化学家仍常常感到很难便捷地从中得到所需的信息.这主要是由于反应数据库基于结构的检索方法与化学家解决问题的方法相去甚远.为解决这一问题而发展了一种通过对反应进行二级分类得到精细描述反应知识的层次模型的方法.第一次分类时不同的同类反应都在由一组普适性好的称作反应结构一级描述符构成的空间中进行.在第一次分类结果的基础上,得到每一类反应的公共结构特征作为第二次分类的结构描述符,利用它们进行更精细的分类,即可从原始反应数据中得到所需的基核反应.由特定反应、基核反应和基型反应就可将反应知识更合理地组织在同类反应知识库中,使它们得到更好的利用.     

A Simple Model for Barrier Frequencies for Enzymatic Reactions

We present a simple model to rationalize the effects of environment on the reaction barrier frequencies derived from free energy profiles. These frequencies are relevant in deviations of a rate constant from its transition state theory value and in determining which environmental dynamics participate in the reaction. In particular, this simple model can be used to understand the changes in the reaction barrier frequencies of an enzymatic catalyzed reaction and the corresponding uncatalyzed process in aqueous solution, a change which has implications for dynamical environmental effects on the enzymatic reaction. Two possible cases are analyzed, in which the polarity (charge separation/localization) of the reacting system increases or decreases as the reaction advances. A simple modeling of the environment′s effects allows the explanation of an unusual “inverse” effect on the reaction frequencies, that is, a free energy barrier lowering accompanied by an increase of the reaction frequency, a behavior observed in some enzymes. The model predictions are successfully compared with results from full simulations for four different enzyme reactions.     

Synthesis of 1,3-dialkylurea from ethylene carbonate and amine using calcium oxide

Several basic metal oxide catalysts were tested for the synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted urea from ethylene carbonate (EC) and amine. Among the catalysts used, CaO has been found to be an excellent recyclable catalyst for the reaction. It has been suggested that strongly basic property of CaO results in its high activity. Disubstituted ureas are obtained from propylamine and butylamine with high yields at 100 °C. Slightly higher reaction temperatures are necessary for obtaining good yields from amines having larger molecular weights and urea is not produced from dibutylamine as a secondary amine. Propylene carbonate can be used instead of EC for the reaction. A reaction mechanism was proposed, which involves reaction between EC and amine giving a carbamate followed by catalytic reaction between the carbamate and amine, yielding 1,3-disubstituted urea. It is suggested that the latter reaction is the rate-determining step. On the basis of this reaction mechanism, the synthesis of unsymmetric urea was also examined. 2-Hydroxyethyl butylcarbamate is selectively produced from EC with butylamine in the absence of the catalyst at a low temperature and reacts with benzylamine producing 1-butyl-3-benzylurea along with symmetric dialkyl ureas.     

Model experiments for the interfacial reaction between polymers during reactive polymer blending

Bilayer film Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) model experiments are designed to provide a well-defined interface for study which can be probed by infrared spectroscopy during the interdiffusion and reaction of two reactive polymers. This provides a model experiment to determine the kinetics and extent of reaction between functionalized polymers during reactive polymer blending. This type of experiment provides data on the reaction at a stagnant interface which is necessary for the analysis of the interface while it is simultaneously undergoing deformation. It is also useful as a screening or preliminary experiment on reactive blending systems in that the extent of reaction may be followed for different systems at different temperatures. Experiments reported here trace the reaction of a styrene–maleic anhydride copolymer with two different amine terminated polymers. Results are obtained for the interdiffusion and reaction of a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer with two amine terminated polymers: a butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer and Nylon 11. The kinetics from these experiments include contributions due to both interdiffusion and chemical reaction. The chemical reaction kinetics may be isolated from the diffusion kinetics by performing experiments on well-mixed systems which are prepared by casting films of the polymer mixtures from a mutual solvent. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Thermodynamic assessment of the copper catalyzed direct synthesis of methylchlorosilanes

The copper catalyzed direct synthesis of methylchlorosilanes is a reaction of enormous complexity. Although, there is a general acceptance about a silylenoide based reaction mechanism, many details of the reaction are not yet fully understood. The present work is a comprehensive thermodynamic study on the reaction system of the direct synthesis. The calculations are based on a broad database containing the elements, all silanes, chlorosilanes, methylsilanes, and methylchlorosilanes with one Si atom, hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons as well as other relevant compounds in the system Si-C-H-Cl. A calculation of the reaction between silicon and methylchloride, excluding only SiC as an unlikely reaction product, results in the total decomposition of methylchloride and the formation carbon, methane, hydrogen, trichlorosilane, and silicon tetrachloride. The systematic suppression of certain reaction products from the calculation yields finally into a product distribution close to the experimentally observed ones. The chosen approach to remove certain compounds from the calculation is equivalent to the introduction of unspecific kinetic constraints arising from a hypothetically total and selective blocking of certain reaction pathways. From this, three major kinetically determined reaction pathways are identified: (i) the formation of carbon, hydrocarbons, hydrogen, and hydrogen chloride due to the cleavage of the C-H bond in methyl chloride, (ii) the formation of hydrogen-containing methylchlorosilanes that occurs only in the presence of hydrogen or hydrogen chloride, and (iii) the competition between the thermodynamically favored chlorosilanes and the kinetically favored methylchlorosilanes. The presence of transition metals (regardless whether Cu, Fe, or Ni) during the direct synthesis gives no thermodynamic preference for the formation of methylchlorosilanes. The metals effect is to open a kinetically controlled reaction pathway to the formation of methylchlorosilanes far away from the formation of chlorosilanes or from other thermodynamically more favored compounds. Furthermore, processes related to the induction period, the addition of hydrogen to the direct synthesis, constrained equilibriums between methylchlorosilanes, and the limits of the applied calculation procedure are discussed in detail.     

Solvent effect on the sensitized photooxygenation of cyclic and acyclic α-diimines

The reaction of singlet molecular oxygen with a series of cyclic and acyclic α-diimines was studied. Time-resolved methods were used to measure total reaction rate constants and steady-state methods were used to determine chemical reaction rate constants. GC-MS was used to tentatively assign the reaction products. 5,6-Disubstituted cyclic α-diimines are singlet oxygen quenchers, but become more effective in polar solvents. A reaction mechanism involving a perepoxide intermediate or transition state leading to a hydroperoxide seems to be a key reaction path for product formation. A replacement of the phenyl substituent for a methyl substituent opens up an additional reaction involving a perepoxide-like exciplex, which increases singlet oxygen quenching of the cyclic α-diimines. The reactivity of 5,6-disubstituted cyclic α-diimines towards singlet oxygen is highly dependent on steric interactions arising from vicinal phenyl rings and from electronic effects. 1,4-Disubstituted acyclic α-diimines are, by comparison, moderate or poor singlet oxygen quenchers. Total rate constants are scarcely dependent on solvent properties, but instead correlate with the Hildebrand parameter. These results are explained in terms of a mechanism involving a dioxetane-like exciplex that gives rise to a charged intermediate leading to products.     

Infrared laser multiphoton absorption and reaction of organic compounds: synthetically unique reaction control

Several examples of synthetically unique reaction control effected by pulsed infrared laser multiphoton irradiation are reviewed. The uniqueness derives from the ability of the pulsed laser to rapidly vibrationally heat molecules coupled with an extremely short reaction time of approximately 10 μs for the processes discussed herein. Three systems are discussed: a bifunctional reactant with competing reaction channels, a reactant with consecutive reaction channels, and the free radical chlorination of cyclopropane.     

Two classes of quasi-steady-state model reductions for stochastic kinetics

The quasi-steady-state approximation (QSSA) is a model reduction technique used to remove highly reactive species from deterministic models of reaction mechanisms. In many reaction networks the highly reactive intermediates (QSSA species) have populations small enough to require a stochastic representation. In this work we apply singular perturbation analysis to remove the QSSA species from the chemical master equation for two classes of problems. The first class occurs in reaction networks where all the species have small populations and the QSSA species sample zero the majority of the time. The perturbation analysis provides a reduced master equation in which the highly reactive species can sample only zero, and are effectively removed from the model. The reduced master equation can be sampled with the Gillespie algorithm. This first stochastic QSSA reduction is applied to several example reaction mechanisms (including Michaelis-Menten kinetics) [Biochem. Z. 49, 333 (1913)]. A general framework for applying the first QSSA reduction technique to new reaction mechanisms is derived. The second class of QSSA model reductions is derived for reaction networks where non-QSSA species have large populations and QSSA species numbers are small and stochastic. We derive this second QSSA reduction from a combination of singular perturbation analysis and the Omega expansion. In some cases the reduced mechanisms and reaction rates from these two stochastic QSSA models and the classical deterministic QSSA reduction are equivalent; however, this is not usually the case.     

Microwave-Assisted One-Carbon Chain Extension in the Preparation of Terminal α-Hydroxy Ketones

The microwave-assisted synthesis of terminal α-hydroxy ketones from acid chlorides and tris(trimethylsiloxy)ethylene in the presence of triethylamine is reported. The use of triethylamine had several advantages in the reaction: it increased the reactivity of the acid chloride, acted as a scavenger of the HCl that was produced in the reaction, protected the silylated enol from decomposition, and made the excess use of the silyl reagent unnecessary. Mechanistic effects of triethylamine are discussed. Effects of various base additives, reaction temperatures, reaction times, and solvents in the reaction are compared.

We are especially interested in the stereochemistry of the double Michael reaction     

Identification of by-products in phenylisocyanate pre-column derivatization by thermospray liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

Summary Thermospray liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry has been applied to the identification of by-products in precolumn derivatization by phenylisocyanate. These byproducts are eluted early in the same chromatographic region as the low molecular weight derivatives and were located by chromatographic analysis of a blank sample. Their identification would offer further qualitative information in the use of phenylisocyanate as a derivatizing agent. Five compounds resulted from the reaction of phenylisocyanate and the reaction medium were identified: two from a reaction between phenylisocyanate and methanol, two from the reaction between phenylisocyanate and water, and one from the polymerisation of phenylisocyanate.     

On-Stream HPLC Determination of Residual Ethylene Oxide and Propylene Oxide in Glycerol Based Polyol Synthesis

Abstract

A simple automated HPLC scheme was developed to monitor synthetic polymerization reaction on-stream. Chromatographic conditions that affect the separation of the reaction species from the reaction product and base catalyst using high-performance aqueous gel permeation chromatography were also studied. Reactor samples are automatically drawn from the reaction vessel through a micro-loop sampling valve/actuator assembly and transferred to the chromatographic system via stainless steel tubing without interruption of the mobile phase flow. The resulting chromatograms, monitored by a refractive index detector, of reactants and products are continuously measured at intervals during the reaction automatically and unattended. Application of this system for the reaction of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide to high molecular weight polyols is presented.

[reaction: see text] Highly flexible and efficient syntheses of the indole backbone are presented starting from o-alkynylhaloarenes. These transformations proceed via a palladium- or a copper-catalyzed amination reaction and a subsequent cyclization reaction in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, a multicatalytic one-pot indole synthesis starting from o-chloroiodobenzene is viable using a single catalyst consisting of an N-heterocyclic carbene palladium complex and CuI.     

Designing a safer process for the reaction of TFA with sodium borohydride in THF by calorimetric technique

Reaction of TFA with sodium borohydride in THF is a loss of thermal control involving the evolution of Hydrogen gas. The investigation of the process by RC1e and ARSST showed that the criticality class of the reaction is dependant on the addition of TFA. Heat of reaction (Q _r), adiabatic temperature rise (ΔT _ad), and MTSR data are obtained from RC1e experiment. Exothermic onset temperature, Pressure rise, and self heat rate data are obtained from ARSST experiments. The correlation of these data was utilized to define the criticality class of the reaction under different conditions. The reaction with uncontrolled addition of TFA falls in the undesirable criticality class 5. Vent size data are obtained from the adiabatic calorimeter for undesirable reaction. The criticality class can be changed to class 2 with controlled addition. Accordingly, interlock system to control the undesired reaction and appropriate vent relief system are provided.     

Die bestimmung kinetischer parameter endothermer zersetzungsreaktionen unter nicht-isothermen bedingungen

By using the kinetic parameters calculated from non-isothermal measurements according to Freeman and Carroll a computer programm is given, which permits the determination of the more probable reaction mechanism by use of 17 different kinetic equations. The computer programm includes the kinetic equation for chemical reaction, nucleation, phase boundary reaction and diffusion and can easily be extended to other equations. The evaluation of the experimental values by a distinct kinetic equation is quantitatively characterized by means of the correlation coefficient.The kinetic parameters are calculated on the basis of a regression analysis. By dividing the thermogravimetric curve in different reaction intervals a differential calculation is possible.Decomposition of CaCO₃, MgCO₃ and CaSO₄·2H₂O is discussed from the results of the computer calculation. It is seen that the kinetic parameters and the reaction mechanism are not constant during the reaction. Further experiments for a physical interpretation are being carried out.

On the kinetics of pozzolanic reaction in the system kaolin–lime–water

The kinetics of the pozzolanic reaction of enriched kaolin from the “Senovo” deposit (Bulgaria) with lime is the object of this article. The kaolin contains kaolinite as a major clay mineral as well as admixtures of quartz and illite. The experimental data of pozzolanic activity at temperatures of 100 and 23 °C are obtained for different reaction times. The reaction degrees of kaolinite and lime at 100 °C are determined from the pozzolanic activity data using a powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The kinetic analysis is performed by joint presentation of theoretical and experimental data in dimensionless coordinates having in mind the influence of particle size distribution on the reaction rate. It is found by the kinetic analysis that the rate of entire reaction is limited by the rate of chemical reaction on the reaction surface up to degree of reaction near to 0.4. The rate of penetration of the chemical reaction into the kaolinite particles for this area—from the beginning to degree of reaction 0.4, is determined to be equal to 2.10⁻¹¹ m/s.     

The thiazolium-catalyzed Sila-Stetter reaction: conjugate addition of acylsilanes to unsaturated esters and ketones

A new acyl anion addition reaction between acylsilanes and alpha,beta-unsaturated conjugate acceptors promoted by a nucleophilic organic catalyst has been disclosed. The 1,4-dicarbonyl products produced in this reaction are highly useful synthons. Neutral carbenes (or zwitterions) generated in situ from commercial thiazolium salts are used as effective catalysts for the reaction which is in contrast to established anionic catalysts typically employed to promote the required Brook rearrangement (1,2-silyl shift from carbon to oxygen) involved in the reported reaction. This process successfully utilizes acylsilanes as tunable acyl anion progenitors and is tolerant of a wide range of structural diversity on the acylsilane or the conjugate acceptor.
