13C-NMR. Spectra of 4-Substituted Quinuclidines. Polar effects,Part V

¹³C-NMR. sepctra of 37 4-substituted quinuclidinium perchlorates, 15 4-substituted quinuclidines and the corresponding 1-methylquinuclidinium iodides have been measured. The chemical shifts δ for all compounds lie in the expected range. No correlation is found between δ and the inductive substituent constant σ of the substituent. Abnormal shift differences between quinuclidines bearing a nucleofugal group and the corresponding protonated or N-methylated quinuclidinum salt are observed for the bridgehead carbon C(4). These differences are ascribed to incipient fragmentation, i.e. C, C-hyperconjugation in the ground state.     

The Derivation of Inductive Substituent Constants from pKa Values of 4-Substituted Quinuclidines. Polar effects. Part I

Thermodynamic pK_a-values have been determined for 38 4-substituted quinuclidinium perchlorates. They are remarkably sensitive to the polar effect of the substituent and cover a range of 3.63 pK_a units. Furthermore, they vary linearly and almost equally with temperature since the contribution of the TΔS° term to the free energy of ionization is relatively small and constant. The magnitude of the polar effect of the 4-cyano group varies with the solvent and appears to depend on its ability to form hydrogen bonds to the substituent rather than its dielectric constant. New inductive substituent constants σ_I^q are derived from the pK_a values. Their correlation with known inductive constants is only fair or unsatisfactory, especially as regards the relative order of hydrogen and the alkyl groups. The discrepancies can be ascribed mainly to the different models used to derive the substituent constants.     

A Reexamination of Inductive Substituent Constants Derived from pKa Values of 4-Substituted Quinuclidines. Polar effects. Part VIII

pK_a Values of 42 quinuclidinium perchlorates I have been measured in 0.1 M aqueous KCl-solution. In a few cases small corrections of earlier thermodynamic pK_a values are indicated. These measurements, in conjunction with recent X-ray structure determinations, confirm the reliability of the inductive substituent constants σ_I^q derived from them.     

Basicity and Nucleophilicity of Aryl-Containing N-Anions

New data on the basicity of N-centered anions in the gas phase and in DMSO solution are analyzed. The results of quantitative studies on the reactivity of N-anions in nucleophilic substitution are systematized, and general factors determining their nucleophilicity are discussed.     

Polar Effects in the Solvolysis of 4-Substituted Bicyclo [2.2.2]octyl p-Nitrobenzenesulfonates. Polar effects. VII

Hydrolysis of bicyclo[2.2.2]octylp-nitrobenzenesulfonate ( 14a , X = p-NO₂C₆H₄SO₃), and nineteen 4-R-substituted derivatives 14b–14t in 70% aqueous dioxane yield the corresponding bicyclo[2.2.2]octanols 14 (X = OH), exclusively. The 7-center fragmentation to 1,4-dimethylidene-cyclohexane ( 15 ) is not observed. The logarithms of most of the rate constants, measured in 80% ethanol, correlate well with the corresponding inductive substituent constants σ of R. Hence, in these cases ionization rate is controlled by the inductive effect of R only. Poor correlations result when the substituents are potentially electrofugal groups, such as COO^?, CH₂OH, CH₂NH₂, CONH₂ and H, the deviations from the inductive regression line corresponding to rate enhancements of 1.6 to 8. These exalted substituent effects are tentatively ascribed to extended hyperconjugation involving two σ-bonds. This study corroborates previous evidence that the inductive effect alone does not fully account for the polar effect of some substituents in reactions involving carbocations.

Polar effects. Part 12. Inductivity and carbon participation in the solvolysis of 4-substituted 2-adamantyl arenesulfonates

The rate constants (log k) for the solvolysis of 4^e-substituted 2^e- and 2^a-adamantyl p-nitrobenzenesulfonates 14 and 15 , respectively, in 80% EtOH correlate linearly with the respective inductive substituent constants σ. Therefore, relative rates are controlled by the I effect of the substituents at C(4). The derived reaction constants, or inductivities, ρ_I of −0.80 and −0.64 for the series 14 and 15 , respectively, are far smaller than those previously determined for 6-substituted 2-norbornyl and 2-bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl sulfonates, in which the partial structure containing the substituent and the leaving group is the same. The ratio of the retained and inverted adamantanols obtained upon hydrolysis of the series 14 falls from 2.85 for R = CH₃ to ca. 1 for R = CN, i.e. as the substituent at C(4) becomes more electron-attracting. In the 2^a-series 15 this ratio is uniformly higher. These findings confirm that the 2-adamantyl cation is weakly bridged and that through-space induction in carbocations involves graded bridging of the cationic center by neighboring C-atoms.     

Inductive,Hyperconjugative and Frangomeric Effects in the Solvolysis of 1-Substituted 3-Bromoadamantanes. Polar effects IV

Three kinds of polar substitutent effects are observable in the solvolyses of 1-R-substituted 3-bromoadamantanes (VI). This follows from the relationship between products, rate constants k in 80% ethanol, and the inductive substituent constants σ of the substituent R. Alkyl groups and electron-attracting substituents at C (1) control the rate by their inductive effects alone, since logk correlates closely with σ. However, rates are higher than predicted on the basis of the respective σ values when conjugating (+ M)-substituents or electrofugal groups are attached to C(1). These exalted substituent effects are attributed to CC-hyperconjugative relay of positive charge from the cationic center at C(3) to the substituent at C(1). When the substituent is a strong electron donor (e.g. O^? and S^?), accelerated substitution gives way to heterolytic fragmentation, rates and products then being controlled by the frangomeric effect.     

Polar Effects. X. Polar Substituent Effects in the Solvolysis of 3-Substituted 1-Adamantyl Bromides and Toluenesulfonates

The rate constants for 3-substituted adamantyl p-toluenesulfonates 3a - 3k in ethanol/water 80:20 correlate well with the respective inductive substituent constants σ. The reaction constant ρ for the toluenesulfonates 3 is 10% larger than for the corresponding bromides 2 , indicating somewhat more charge separation in the activation of the toluenesulfonates. Evidence is presented that stabilization of the resultant 1-adamantyl cations by induction involves graded 1,3-bridging, which is favored when the substituent is an electrofugal group, and that stabilization by n-electron donors involves C, C-hyperconjugation. Rate ratios for the toluenesulfonates 3 and the bromides 1 exceed 10³ and are almost independent of the 3-substituents. The implications of this are discussed in the light of current hypotheses.     

SN2 reactions in the gas phase. Nucleophilicity effects

The heats and entropies of gas phase association of chloride, bromide and iodide with the respective methyl halides are reported. Comparison of these results with results published for S_N2 reactions in solution suggests that the solvent is the dominant factor in determining relative halide nucleophilicities for the reactions in solution.     

1-Bromo-3,3-bis(2-bromoethyl)alkanes: Precursors to 4-Substituted Quinuclidines and 1-Phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octanes

1-Bromo-3,3-bis(2-bromoethyl)octane has been synthesized from tetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-one in 6 steps and 18% overall yield. This method is more convenient, gives higher overall yields and is potentially more general than those previously reported for related tribromides.     

Norbornanes. Part 18. Inductive Charge Dispersal in the Solvolyses of 4- and 5-Substituted 2-Norbornyl p-Toluenesulfonates

The solvolysis rates and products of 4- and 5-exo-substituted 2-exo- and 2-endo-norbornyl tosylates 9 and 10 , respectively, are reported. The logarithms of the rate constants (log k) correlate linearly with the inductive constants σ for the substituents. A comparison of the reaction constants p₁ for the 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-substituted 2-exo- and 2-endo-tosylates 9 , 10 , 1 , and 2 respectively, indicates that inductivity is higher for 2-exo-ionization than for 2-endo-ionization in all series. This observation is attributed to the more favorable alignment of neighbouring C-atoms for dorsal participation in exo-ionization, especially, in the case of C(6).     

Environmental effects in free-radical polymerizations. Part III. Vinyl chloride and n-butyraldehyde

The properties of poly(vinyl chloride) samples prepared by a free-radical process in the presence of n-butyraldehyde have been studied from the point of view of polymer tacticity, branching, molecular weight, and relative crystallinity. The postulate of a polymer radical–aldehyde complex, invoked to explain the increased crystallinity, was tested. The polymers had a lower degree of polymerization and branching than normal, and these parameters rather than increased syndiotacticity were responsible for the high degree of crystallinity. Both molecular weight and branching affect the crystallinity, since polymer samples prepared in the presence of various transfer agents with similar molecular weights were less crystalline than those prepared in aldehyde, but yet more crystalline than high molecular weight bulk polymer. Polymers prepared in aldehyde had a lower degree of branching than those formed in other transfer agents. It was concluded that aldehyde was effective in increasing the crystallinity of poly(vinyl chloride) in these two ways, and so appeared to be unique among the transfer agents. There was no evidence for assuming any complexing between polymer radicals and aldehyde.     

Scales of Nucleophilicity and Electrophilicity: A System for Ordering Polar Organic and Organometallic Reactions

Contrary to widely held opinion, for many reactions in organic and organometallic chemistry it is possible to define nucleophilicity and electrophilicity parameters that are independent of the reaction partners. This phenomenon, discovered by Ritchie during the early 1970s for reactions of highly stabilized carbenium and diazonium ions with n-nucleophiles, also occurs with reactions of carbenium ions with aliphatic and aromatic π-electron systems and in hydride transfer reactions. With the aid of the scales of nucleophilicity and electrophilicity set out here, which extend over eighteen orders of magnitude, forecasts can be made about the feasibility and rate of a given CC bond formation, ionic reduction, or diazo coupling. Linkage with the reactivity scales of Ritchie and Sweigart/Kane-Maguire enables a unified treatment of a large number of polar reactions.     

Pteridines. Part LXXXVII. Synthesis and Properties of 8-Substituted 2-Thiolumazines

Various 8-substituted 2,8-dihydro-2-thioxopteridin-4(3H)-ones ( 14 – 21 ) and 2-(methylthio)pteridin-4(8H)-ones ( 27 – 32 ) have been synthesized by condensation of the appropriate 5-amino-6-(substituted amino)-1,2-dihydro-2-thioxopyrimidin-4(3H)-ones ( 22 – 34 ) and 5-amino-6-(substituted amino)-2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones ( 25 , 26 ), respectively, with glyoxal, biacetyl, and benzil. The presence of a quinonoid cross-conjugated π-electron system makes this type of compounds susceptible to nucleophilic additions in position 7, which leads to intramolecular ( 43 , 45 ) and intermolecular ( 44 ) covalent adducts. The newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, pK_a determinations, ¹H-NMR and UV spectra. UV-Spectral changes in dependence of the pH are associated with the most appropriate molecular species including the monocations, neutral forms, covalent adducts, mono- and dianions.     

Polar versus steric effects in the solvolysis of 6endo-substituted 2endo-norbornyl p-toluenesulfonates. Norbornanes,Part 8

The solvolysis rates and products of the 6endo-R-substituted 2endo-norbornyl toluenesulfonates 6a – 6i have been determined. The rates of 6a – 6g correlate with the inductive constants σ the 6endo-substituents and are not related to the size of the latter. It is therefore concluded that polar rather than steric effects control the exo/endo-rate ratios of norbornyl sulfonates. Products are derived mainly from rearranged 6exo-R-norbornyl cations when the substituent is an electron donor and from unrearranged 6endo-R-substituted cations when the substituent is an electron acceptor.
